Chapter 781
Meeting Huo Zhao's gaze, Yu Yue showed no fear whatsoever, and even raised her chin: "So you're the young mistress of this house? Do you know how difficult it is to invite my young master? He came here, and not only did you not treat him well, you even told us to come through the side door. What's wrong with saying a few words to you?"
"Yu Yue, you must not be presumptuous."
Huo Zhao took his seat in the main seat in the hall: "Le'an, take him away."
What they were about to discuss wasn't important business, and it wouldn't be appropriate with outsiders present.
Le An stepped forward and gestured for Yu Yue to enter.
Yu Yue raised his chin and walked away.
Watching the two leave, Wen Lang said, "Please forgive me, young mistress. Yu Yue comes from a poor background. I initially spoiled him because I felt sorry for him, but I never expected him to develop such an unruly temper."
“Before, when you were in Yangzhou, your mother was the governor of Yangzhou, so it was no big deal for the two of you to do whatever you wanted. But now we are in Luoyang City, where there are nobles everywhere. You have just arrived, and everyone is still curious about you, so it is not surprising that they are more tolerant of you. But it is hard to say what will happen in the future.”
These influential people may appear glamorous on the surface, but in reality, very few of them have a good temper or are soft-hearted.
If you really anger them, Yu Yue won't even know how he died.
Wen Lang nodded slightly: "I understand Madam's good intentions."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be taking it to heart, Huo Zhao changed the subject: "You must know why I invited you here today, young master, right?"
Wen Lang nodded slightly: "I heard that the young mistress and the Ning family's daughter are close friends. I also have some connection with the Ning family's daughter, so I roughly know why the young mistress called me here today."
"It's so much easier to talk to smart people."
A slight smile appeared in Huo Zhao's eyes.
The two started chatting.
Wen Lang came from a respectable background and was very tactful in his speech. Huo Zhao had a pleasant chat with him.
Outside, Yu Yue followed Le An to the side courtyard, to the room where the servants were waiting.
The house was spotless, but it was simply decorated, so it looked rather plain.
Yu Yue stood at the doorway, his gaze sweeping around the room before his brows furrowed. "You're just going to let me rest here? Who do you think you are?"
Le'an looked him up and down and said, "You're really a strange person. You're just a servant, so where do you get such high aspirations? You'd better watch out, the next line after 'ambitions higher than the sky' is 'life thinner than paper'!"
Yu Yue laughed angrily: "Are you threatening me? What, you want to hit me?"
"Is reminding you a threat?" Le An's gaze grew increasingly strange. "Besides, you're not the first person to come to this house. So many people have come before, and none of them have commented on this house. Why is it that you can't stand it? What, is your status more important than others?"
The sarcasm in Le'an's words was almost impossible to hide.
But Yu Yue seemed completely oblivious, even proudly raising his head: "Of course! My young master treats me like a younger brother. How could my status be the same as those servants! Now that you know, arrange a room for me. This place reeks of poverty; I won't stay here!"
Le'an almost laughed out of anger.
Even though it's a place for servants to rest, this is still a mansion of the Marquis, and it has everything it should have, and it's all clean and tidy. So why does it exude an air of poverty?
"Who do you think you are? There are no side rooms! If you're not tired, you can wait in the courtyard!"
After saying that, Le'an was too lazy to serve him anymore and turned to leave.
Yu Yue stomped his feet in anger, but seeing that Le An really wasn't going to pay any attention to him, he couldn't do anything more. He just made a mental note of Le An's actions and planned to complain to Wen Lang when he got back.
Wen Lang always indulged him, and besides, this time it was just a maid who offended him, which was not a big deal. Wen Lang would definitely still go along with him!
Then he'll make that little maid kneel on the ground and kowtow to him, begging for mercy!
