When he ran up to Gu Pingting, he found that the two girls were both fine and there was no sign of a fight. However, their young lady was glaring at the 'new' young lady with annoyance.
What's going on? Did this 'new' lady offend their young lady?
The servants were somewhat dissatisfied.
What's wrong with this newly brought-back 'new' lady? Their young lady is younger than the new lady, can't she be a little more considerate of their young lady?
If we anger the young lady, wouldn't it be us servants who suffer the consequences?
Although the new policy is in effect now, these servants are no longer the same as before. They are nominally free agents, their relationship with the Gu family merely an employment one. But even in this employment relationship, they still depend on the Gu family for their livelihood. If they lose their jobs, are kicked out—oh, no, they're fired—who would hire them again?
Besides serving people, they have no other skills and can't do anything else.
Then the whole family will go hungry.
Thinking this, one of the impatient servants spoke to Yun Duo in a reproachful tone.
"Young Miss, although you've only just returned and might not be used to life in the Gu family yet, you're still the older sister. You should at least give way to the younger... younger sister. Why are you not only not giving way, but also bullying the younger sister..."
Although Yunduo came from a world where everyone is equal and has no inherent sense of hierarchy, it's understandable that she felt angry at such indiscriminate favoritism. A little bit of 'bullying' was inevitable.
"Who are you? What's your name? Since when did it become your place to meddle in the master's family affairs? Has the Gu family lost all manners?"
Yun Duo's tone was anything but polite, which made the maid feel guilty and her expression became somewhat awkward, though she was also a little resentful.
After all, they still looked down on Yun Duo, this "country girl". Therefore, despite feeling guilty, she still "couldn't help" "quietly" defended herself, "No, Miss, I... I didn't mean to interfere with you, I just, just reminded you, after all, we are sisters... it wouldn't sound good if word got out that you and the Second Miss were arguing as soon as you came back."
"The general values rules the most; what you're doing... isn't appropriate."
Ultimately, out of consideration for Yun Duo, who was still a young lady of the Gu family, the servants' words were somewhat restrained. However, the threat was still quite obvious.
Yun Duo chuckled, somewhat annoyed.
Do they really think she's a pushover? She's already gone this far, and she's still trying to threaten her? They're really pushing their luck, aren't they?
"Are you threatening me? That's hilarious!"
Yun Duo laughed coldly, but she didn't intend to argue with the maid. She turned to look at Gu Pingting and deliberately asked in a disdainful tone, "Gu Pingting, did I bully you?"
How could that be!
How could she, a dignified young lady of the Gu family, be bullied by a country girl?!
She can't bear the shame!
It has to be said that Yun Duo's assessment of Gu Pingting was quite accurate. Her words hit Gu Pingting's sore spot. Even if Yun Duo really bullied Gu Pingting, Gu Pingting would never admit it.
Besides, Yun Duo hadn't actually bullied her.
She was just angry...
The little girl was only a few years old, and her mother was a weak person who could only cry. Gu Pingting didn't really have any cunning, so she had no intention of 'framing' Yun Duo.
