"Cherry, shut up!"
Lianyi interrupted Cherry's unfinished words with a stern look on her face, and angrily said:
“Kneel down!”
Cherry was startled, and when Lianyi frowned, it was indeed a bit scary, so Cherry fell to her knees with a plop.
The two maids Hongqi and Lucui at the second door looked at each other and pretended not to see anything, but just pricked up their ears to listen to the movements in the inner room.
Lianyi slammed the copy of "Female Rings" in her hand on the table, looked at the maid kneeling in front of her with a look of shame and anger and said:
"Cherry, you are my personal maid. Even for me, you can't say such words. Others don't know who I am, but can you?"
Having said that, Lian Yi deliberately lowered her voice and said:
"Cherry, have you forgotten what kind of life we lived in the manor?
It is because my mother took me back that we have the good life we have now. You also get money every month, and all this is thanks to my law-abiding behavior.
If I go out on a circumstance like today and cause trouble for my mother and sister, then it would be more trouble than gain."
"But, young lady, I don't think Madam is too concerned about your marriage, otherwise why has there been no movement for so long? I am also worried about you."
Cherry also lowered her voice and spoke.
"Why!"
Lian Yi sighed and then whispered:
"Cherry, you have to know that I wasn't raised by my mother's side, so the relationship is naturally weaker. There are some things I can't expect."
Yingtao looked at Lianyi with a helpless look on her face, and felt disgusted with her in her heart. She didn't want to instigate Lianyi, but she just wanted to complete the task assigned by the Marquis's wife.
There are rumors outside that the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion is seriously ill and will not live long. The purpose of holding this Spring Banquet is to show her to the children in the family and to let Lianyi show up on behalf of her sister to dispel the rumors.
In her previous life, at the instigation of Cherry, she went to the back garden and saw a yard full of handsome young men. However, she was looked down upon by the maids and old women of Bilan Garden, who said that she was crazy about wanting to get married, and how dare a disaster star like her go out to see a man.
But these servants didn't think about it. Without the approval of the Marquis's wife, could she and a little maid walk from the side courtyard of the Marquis's mansion to the back garden so smoothly? Were the servants and maids along the way just for show?
Now it was Lianyi's turn. How could she let the Marquis's plan succeed? She would definitely not step out of this yard. Unless the Marquis came to invite her in person and made it clear that she was there to quell the rumors on behalf of her good sister, she would not go anywhere.
"Miss, it is because the relationship between you and the lady is not strong that you have to plan for yourself."
Cherry was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue lobbying, but was interrupted by Lianyi:
"Stop talking. Especially at times like this, we must not upset our mother."
"Miss."
"You are getting more and more presumptuous now because you are an old man next to me. Do you want to be my master?"
Lianyi narrowed her eyes and said unhappily.
"I dare not!"
Cherry immediately lowered her head and said that she was afraid that continuing to persuade her would arouse Lianyi's suspicion.
"To punish you, you have to kneel here. If I don't allow you to get up, then don't get up. No one's pleas will help."
Ripple said coldly.
She would punish an unfaithful maid without mercy.
Cherry was almost mad with anger, but nominally she was Lianyi's maid, so she could only kneel on the ground with red eyes, feeling extremely depressed.
Lianyi pressed the cherry that was teasing her and continued reading "The Woman's Ring".
As for Duoduo, she had already slipped away to play in the back garden. In the past month, Duoduo had already visited the entire marquis' mansion.
After the spring, in addition to the evergreen plants, some flowers and plants also popped up and became Duoduo's eyes. Duoduo knew any movement in the Marquis' Mansion.
Duoduo also went to see Xue Lianyi who was recuperating in the Marquis' Mansion. She was curious when she saw the face that was exactly the same as her own master's. But after another feeling, she couldn't like Xue Lianyi anymore. It was because the bloody aura on the other person was a bit heavy. Although the other person was young, he had killed people on his hands.
Duoduo satisfied her curiosity and never went to that young lady's residence again. Today, the Marquis's Mansion held a spring banquet, and Duoduo went to watch the fun.
Cherry knelt for more than an hour and could no longer kneel. However, Lianyi didn't say anything and she didn't dare to get up. After all, the young lady had reasons to punish her.
Nanny Sun walked around the outer courtyard and sent away everyone along the way from Bilan Garden to the back garden, but she didn't see Lianyi and Yingtao coming over, so she immediately returned to Bilan Garden.
When Hongqi and Lucui saw Nanny Sun coming, they immediately bowed and gave Nanny Sun a wink, asking her to look at Yingtao who was kneeling on the ground.
Nanny Sun's eyes flashed, and she immediately said:
"Miss, can this old slave come in?"
"Madame Sun, come in!"
Lianyi put down the book in her hand and replied calmly.
Nanny Sun came in and bowed, then looked at Cherry kneeling on the ground and said with a smile:
"Miss, what did Cherry do wrong to make you so angry?"
"This little girl is relying on the fact that she is an old man next to me, and her words are becoming more and more out of line!
Nanny Sun, you should be stricter with her in the future. Don't indulge her too much because of me. When she gets into trouble and brings trouble to you and me, it will be too late to regret it."
Ripple said with a frown.
"I will listen to you, young lady. Cherry is still young, so you need to teach her the rules slowly. Besides, she is devoted to you, so don't punish her too severely this time."
Nanny Sun pleaded.
"I'll spare you this time for Madam Sun's sake. You don't have to kneel. Get down!"
Ripple waved her hand.
Cherry then stood up, but unfortunately because she had been kneeling for too long, she staggered and almost fell. It was only when Nanny Sun raised her hand to help her that she was able to steady herself.
Cherry gritted her teeth, thanked Lianyi and Nanny Sun, and slowly moved out of the room. Hatred surged in her eyes. One day, she would return all the grievances she had suffered.
Lianyi looked at Cherry's back, shook her head and sighed:
"Yingtao has become more and more unruly since she returned to the Marquis' Mansion. This time, she even dared to instigate me to go to the Spring Banquet privately. I will first demote her to a second-class maid and promote Hongqi to be my personal maid."
Nanny Sun didn't care about Lianyi's decision. After all, everyone in the yard was arranged by the Marquis's wife, so it didn't matter who served the young lady.
"Yes, ma'am."
Lianyi nodded and picked up the book to read again without asking Nanny Sun any more questions.
Nanny Sun didn't know what to say for a moment. The young lady didn't go out by herself, and she couldn't tie her up. If the young lady said something wrong, she would definitely be punished. Finally, she retreated and went to the front yard to meet the marquis's wife.
"Little bitch, remember to follow the rules at this time."
The Marquis's wife was a little unhappy, but she was also at a loss as she couldn't knock the man unconscious and carry him to the back garden, as that would only confirm the rumors.
"Ma'am, what should we do now?"
"I'll ask Aunt Yao to go with you." (End of this chapter)
