Chapter 742 Don't Cut the Hair of the Man on the Roadside 7
She was now most eager for her mistress to be released, because if the mistress lost power, the servants would also lose status, and with a lower status came lower treatment. Given the mistress's personality, if she lost power, those who served her closely would be in big trouble.
Chun'er brewed this cup of hot tea for almost 15 minutes.
Because there was no hot water in the kitchen, Chun'er had to boil it herself. As the young lady's personal maid, how could she possibly know how to start a fire?
After all that effort, I ended up covered in dust and dirt before I finally managed to boil a pot of water.
Ning Yao was thirsty and cold, and she was impatiently waiting for a sip of hot water. When she saw Chun'er return, she couldn't wait to pour herself some tea and drink it. After drinking it, she started to get angry.
"You've been gone for ages just trying to get me a cup of tea. It seems you don't respect me at all."
Chun'er was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground. "Miss, I had no such intention. It's just that the servants in the manor don't respect the people in our courtyard. They won't even give us a pot of hot water. I boiled the water myself, which is why it took so long."
Ning Yao: "What? They don't respect the people of Lanxiang Courtyard? I was only punished by my father, not dead. What right do they have to neglect the people in my courtyard? They even dare to withhold my water. Are they trying to turn the world upside down?"
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something, "I knew that woman was just pretending. Look, she has already revealed her true colors in such a short time. She must have given the order, otherwise no one in the manor would dare to disrespect me, the legitimate daughter, like this."
She jumped up. If she gave in today, she would be bullied and humiliated in the future. So she couldn't stand it!
She completely ignored her father's confinement order and stormed out of the ancestral hall with her maid.
There were two rough old women guarding outside the ancestral hall. When they saw the young lady leading her people out, they immediately stepped forward to stop her. "Young lady, the Lord's orders cannot be disobeyed. Please return to the ancestral hall."
The young lady raised her hand and slapped the old woman across the face, yelling, "You scoundrel! How dare you stop me!"
To everyone's surprise, the slap missed its mark. The maid had already been instructed by the second young lady that if the eldest young lady got angry, she could try to avoid it. If she couldn't avoid it, as long as she did her job well, the second young lady would reward her!
Therefore, when the maid saw the young lady make a move, she immediately hid.
"Please forgive us, young lady. We were just following orders. Even if we complain to the old lady, we are in the right."
Ning Yao's face changed drastically with anger. This damned old woman not only dodged her slap, but also dared to argue. She raised her leg to kick her, but two old women held her arms down and pushed her straight back into the ancestral hall.
Chun'er tried to step forward to help, but another old woman kicked her more than a meter away. "You brat, you dare to lay a hand on me? You're asking for it!"
They don't even consider who's really in charge of this mansion. If you ask them, it's because the Madam gave the young lady too much face before, letting her become so arrogant that she didn't know who she was. Now it's time to teach her a lesson.
"You bastard! Let go of me! How dare you touch me with your filthy hands!"
The rough old woman: ...Are we dirty enough to have someone like you who has been kidnapped for more than two hours?
The two old women pressed Ning Yao down onto the cushion, then quickly turned and left the ancestral hall, closing the door behind them with a clang, plunging the hall into darkness, followed by the sound of the lock clicking shut.
"Miss! Miss! How could you lock the door? The ancestral hall is already dark, and if the door is locked, not a ray of sunlight can get in."
The old woman thought to herself, "Your young lady was too smug before. Let her stay out of the limelight for a couple of days to teach her a lesson about her current situation, so she won't be so arrogant in the future."
The rumors circulating outside were so widespread that almost everyone in the household knew about them.
After all, everyone has ears, and anyone who can leave the manor will bring back some news, but they are just deliberately keeping it from the people of Lanxiang Courtyard.
In the eyes of the servants, the eldest young lady was already finished. Now that the second young lady has given an order to openly torment the eldest young lady, they, the servants, naturally have to change their tune depending on the wind!
As for why it was Ning Yan who stepped forward instead of Xia Wenqing who caused trouble?
First, because Ning Yan doesn't care about her bad reputation.
Secondly, the eldest young lady's reputation was damaged, and Ning Yan was the one most affected. As a victim, it's perfectly normal for her to be at odds with Ning Yao.
Third, she is young, so she can act spoiled in front of her grandmother and father, and if she does something wrong, she can say that she is young and doesn't know any better.
Fourth, didn't Ning Yao tell the Seventh Prince that her stepmother and stepsister were bullying her?
Ning Yan is determined to make this a reality!
The original owner was sensible and never argued with Ning Yao about anything, always thinking that harmony in the family would bring prosperity.
Now that Ning Yan is here, she's determined to fight and snatch her away!
Seeing that she was locked in the ancestral hall, Ning Yao was filled with resentment and immediately shouted to the door, "Chun'er, go find Grandmother and ask her to stand up for me."
When Chun'er was kicked away by the rough old woman, she fell to the ground. At that moment, she had abdominal pain, buttock pain, and even the hand she was using to support herself on the ground hurt.
Miss's condition is bad; she needs to hurry and get help.
Chun'er thought the two rough old women would stop her, but to her surprise, they acted as if they didn't see her and let her leave the courtyard and head straight for Cixin Hall.
At the entrance of Cixin Hall, the two gatekeepers exchanged a glance as the young lady's personal maid limped over, then their expressions returned to normal.
"Grannies, please inform them that our young lady has been locked in the ancestral hall. We beg you, Madam, to do us a favor."
"Why is Miss suddenly locked up? Has something happened?"
Chun'er hesitated, wondering what to say. Should she answer that the young lady had disobeyed the Earl's order to stay at home, which was why she was locked in the ancestral hall?
"Today our young lady wanted a pot of hot water, but the kitchen wouldn't provide it, and she was very angry."
Although the young lady was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall, she was still the eldest young lady, and it was not up to the kitchen staff to neglect her.
Please ask your mother-in-law to inform the old lady and beg her to give our young lady justice.
The gatekeeper, who had a mole on the corner of her lip, nodded and went straight inside to announce the news.
After a while, the old woman came out, but she looked displeased.
"Mother-in-law, does the old lady want to see me?"
The old woman said irritably, "The old lady said that the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall is to toughen their minds and bodies. Go back and persuade your young lady to soften her stance as soon as possible so that she can get out of the ancestral hall."
The truth is that after the second young lady paid her respects to the old lady today, she did not leave. After hearing the servant's report, she told the old lady that the eldest young lady had no idea of the mistakes she had made. She suggested that the old lady be harsher on her so that the eldest young lady would realize her mistakes sooner and avoid ruining her life.
The old lady immediately said "good"!
He then said that they should toughen their minds and bodies by subjecting them to hardship and hunger.
Ning Yan spoke these words lightly, but to Chun'er they were like a bolt from the blue!
Even the old lady doesn't care about her eldest daughter anymore, so who can the eldest daughter rely on?
Chun'er staggered back to report, but we won't go into how Ning Yao got so angry.
