Qiluo and Shulan were here to lead Chen Li on Su Wenyue's orders. They just couldn't stand Chen Li's arrogance. It would be fine if the man coveted their wife, but he actually came to their house so blatantly! Did they think their wife was easy to bully? So they wanted to teach Chen Li a lesson, so that Chen Li would know that not only their wife, but even the maids around their wife were not easy to get along with. They wanted Chen Li to stop being so arrogant in the future. If the adults blamed them, they would take the blame themselves, and the wife would not be blamed.
When Qiluo and Shulan heard the people below report that Chen Li had gone all the way to the back garden, they came up with an idea. They extinguished the lanterns in their hands, quietly went over and hid in the dark. They heard Chen Li muttering something there. When they listened carefully, they found that she was actually saying bad things about their masters. However, why did her words also seem to praise their wives? Did they hear it wrongly?
Qiluo and Shulan looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They knew that they had not heard wrongly. This woman's thinking was really incomprehensible. Was it the wrong way around? If they understood it according to their understanding, Chen Li actually coveted the adults, so they should have said good things about the adults and belittled the lady. However, it was normal for them not to understand what a rebellious woman like Chen Li did.
Seeing that Chen Li was still chattering, Qiluo and Shulan were not in a hurry. They wanted to hear what else Chen Li had to say, but they didn't expect that all they heard was dissatisfaction with the adults.
It turned out that Chen Li was indeed brought in by the adults, but it seemed that the adults' attitude towards Chen Li was not very good, otherwise why would Chen Li speak so badly of them? Even they felt that it was a bit too much when they heard the adults' actions. After all, Chen Li was a weak woman, and the adults were too unsympathetic. However, as the two of them listened, they saw smiles in each other's eyes, as well as expressions of gloating. However, since the adults had this attitude, they did not have to worry about being punished by the adults for teasing Chen Li.
"You deserve it for coveting our madam's husband!" Shulan's eyes were full of pride. The adults in their family would not take other women seriously. Their hearts and eyes were full of the madam. What's more, Chen Li's appearance was just average. It would be good enough to be rated as above average.
Just as Shulan was thinking this, she heard Chen Li bragging about herself. Especially when she heard Chen Li call her a pretty young lady, not only could Shulan not help but burst out laughing, but even Qiluo's eyes were full of smiles. Chen Li must be trying to make them laugh on purpose, otherwise everything she said would be a joke.
It was Shulan's voice that frightened Chen Li, but Chen Li's reaction was even funnier. They only now knew that this would be the reaction when encountering a ghost. They had only heard of threatening people, but had never heard of threatening ghosts. This was the first time. As a result, Shulan couldn't help but burst out laughing again, which also pissed Chen Li off. She was not even afraid of ghosts. She looked like she wanted to fight with ghosts, which made Shulan even happier.
Qiluo was more stable than Shulan after all. She knew that things should not be overdone, so she took Shulan and stepped out.
Chen Li was ready for the "battle", but she didn't expect that the ones who came out were not ghosts, but two charming beauties, one with a cold temperament, and the other who looked very lively, complementing each other perfectly.
"So you are human beings. You should have spoken up earlier. You scared me!" Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qiluo and Shulan coming out. She was not angry. She said carelessly that she didn't have that intention towards Han Yu anyway, so she didn't need to be pretentious. She showed her true colors in front of the servants in Han's mansion.
Shulan smiled and her impression of Chen Li improved a little. Although this woman was unorthodox and even fickle, she was not a stingy person. If it was another woman, she would probably cry and make a fuss. Chen Li's performance from beginning to end made them look at her with new eyes.
"Miss Chen, our madam heard that you got lost in the backyard and sent servants to pick you up. I wonder if you want to go to the master or to the madam?" Qi Luo followed Su Wenyue's wishes, respected Chen Li's opinion, asked Chen Li her own opinion, and did not take Chen Li directly to Su Wenyue.
"Of course we're going to your wife's place. We came here to look for her, but we got lost and ended up in this haunted garden. We couldn't get out for a long time. We were so unlucky. Fortunately you came, otherwise I might have to spend the night here and I would be scared to death." Chen Li said without thinking, and did not hide her previous intentions
"Miss Chen, do you have something to talk to our Madam about?" If it were someone else, Shulan would never be so tactless as to ask a guest the purpose of seeing our Madam. However, since it was Chen Li, they all felt uneasy and decided to ask for clarification. Who knows what shocking things this Miss Chen might do? Although Chen Li made them happy just now, if they thought about it from another perspective, she might also scare our Madam.
Although Su Wenyue thinks that she is very strong and resilient, in the eyes of others, she is a spoiled young lady who has been raised with great pampering by adults. They subconsciously think that Su Wenyue needs to be protected, and they will automatically behave like this without Su Wenyue's orders.
If it were any other lady, she would also feel that the Han family's servants were impolite because of Shulan's question, and would be very unhappy and might even leave in anger.
Who is Chen Li? She is a modern person who has accepted modern ideas. Even if she has lived in ancient times for a long time, her essence has not changed. When Shulan asked this, she felt that the servants around Su Wenyue were very courageous. Not to mention their good temperament, they were not at all like the servants in other mansions who were timid and looked scared on the surface, but spoke ill of others behind their backs.
"As for me, I have something to discuss with your wife. Besides, your wife had some misunderstandings about me in the past. This time I came here to explain to your wife that I don't have that kind of intention towards your master, so that she doesn't have to worry. Maybe your wife and I can become good sisters in the future." Chen Li felt that her purpose was legitimate, so she didn't hide it and said to Shulan with a smile.
Of course, Chen Li's nice attitude towards Shulan was also because Shulan was Su Wenyue's maid, so Chen Li did not treat Shulan as an ordinary servant, so she used the tone of speaking to a friend.
Ancient maids like Qiluo and Shulan did not feel flattered at all. They just felt that Chen Li was even more unique and weird. This Miss Chen was really from a merchant family and had not received any good education. Yet she actually spoke to the servants in other people's houses like this.
In fact, Su Wenyue also came from a merchant family. However, except for those who did not know the inside story, no one else would treat Su Wenyue as an ordinary merchant's daughter. After all, the second branch of the Su family was separated from the Marquis' Mansion and had a different background, so the servants never thought that their master was a merchant's daughter.
