Chapter 10 Serving
These things are on a completely different level compared to Xie Hanyue's.
Xie Qingran gave a half-smile: "What exactly makes you think I would be jealous or angry over these things?"
These words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to both of them, especially Xie Hanyue.
Before Xie Qingran returned, Xie Hanyue was undoubtedly the darling of the Xie family, and she always had priority access to the best things in the house. But now, everything seems to be different.
Xie Hanyue looked at those things, her heart filled with insane jealousy.
Her tears fell uncontrollably, and without saying a word, she turned and ran.
"Xie Qingran, you vicious woman, you wait, I will never let you get away with this!"
Xie Zhaoye left those words behind and turned to chase after Xie Hanyue.
"The young lady didn't say anything wrong."
Baozhu squatted on the ground tidying up her things, muttering something to herself.
She couldn't stand it any longer. The young lady hadn't left the house all day, but they kept coming to cause trouble. It was just too much of a bullying.
But ironically, everyone felt they were right and wanted to shift the blame onto Xie Qingran. What a load of rubbish.
"What did you say?"
Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow, stared at the pearl on the ground, and asked a question.
In her previous life, she was not well-liked, so she had no confidants at home, and even her memory of Baozhu's appearance was very vague.
Baozhu thought she had said something wrong, and she knelt on the ground, trembling with fear: "Young Miss, please calm down, I didn't say anything."
"stand up."
Xie Qingran stepped forward, helped the person up, and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"This servant is fourteen years old."
Baozhu is a little girl, much younger than Xie Qingran. It was because the Xie family didn't care about Xie Qingran that they sent this young girl, who couldn't do anything, over.
"Fourteen years old? How did you end up in the Xie family?"
Xie Qingran frowned, looking at Baozhu with a puzzled expression.
“My parents are seriously ill and I have two younger siblings. I had no choice but to do this for their sake.”
"Don't worry, Miss, I will work hard and will definitely not cause you any trouble."
Baozhu was a third-class maid in this courtyard, doing menial work. She was terrified that she would be kicked out, leaving her with nowhere to go.
"From now on, you will be my personal maid. Follow me and do whatever I tell you to do."
As she spoke, Xie Qingran opened the box, took out a gold ingot, and tossed it to Baozhu.
"Take this home and use it to treat your parents' illness."
The heavy gold ingot felt like it had hit Baozhu right in the heart. Her nose stung, and she knelt on the ground, saying, "This servant thanks you for your kindness, Miss. From today onwards, this servant's life belongs to you, Miss. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do!"
"Young Miss, isn't this inappropriate?"
The maid Yuanhua spoke, looking at Xie Qingran with displeasure.
She was Xie Hanyue's handpicked head maid for Xie Qingran. She was a year older than Xie Qingran and took charge of everything in the courtyard, acting more like a mistress than Xie Qingran herself.
Now that Xie Qingran has bypassed her and directly made Baozhu her personal maid, how can she just let it go like this?
"how?"
Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow, looking at Yuanhua with a half-smile.
"Can't I designate my own personal maid?"
"I thought my sister sent you here to be my servant, not to be my ancestor!"
Yuanhua never expected that someone who usually didn't care about these things would suddenly become so concerned.
Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, but she didn't dare to talk back. She could only lower her head silently, without saying a word, her hands tightly twisting the hem of her clothes.
Xie Qingran didn't care about any of that and just said calmly, "I'm hungry, go and get some food."
Previously, these were all things that the young maids did, but now, Xie Qingran has designated Yuanhua to do them. Even though Yuanhua is unwilling, she can't really argue with Xie Qingran. If she is kicked out, she will be punished by the second young lady. So she can only reluctantly walk outside.
“Young Miss, Sister Yuanhua is always so formidable, why are you doing this…”
“Yingxing Pavilion, I am the master, the only master.”
Xie Qingran stared at Baozhu expressionlessly.
Baozhu felt a little uncomfortable under Xie Qingran's gaze, but she still nodded and said softly, "Yes, this servant understands."
"Yes, if you don't understand this when you're working for me, you don't deserve to stay by my side."
Xie Qingran nodded in satisfaction, sat down casually, rubbed her temples, and felt a bit of a headache.
The Xie family is far too unstable. We should finalize this marriage as soon as possible, otherwise we'll probably continue to be shrouded in this mess.
She has just been reborn and hasn't even met her five fiancés from her previous life yet. Gong Yan and the others will definitely show up, so it's time to make some preparations.
No one knows what method Xie Yankang used, but he managed to let Xie Qingran have a peaceful three to five days, and finally the day of the Begonia Flower Banquet arrived.
Early on, Aunt Liu, who was by Wang's side, came over to help Xie Qingran with her hair and makeup.
"What Madam means is that the young lady should go to the palace with Madam's carriage later. Once inside the palace, she must follow the rules and not wander around or say anything out of line. She must not disgrace the Xie family."
Aunt Liu was very cold towards Xie Qingran, and even seemed to have a hint of disdain.
After all, Aunt Liu had watched Xie Hanyue grow up since she was a child and loved her dearly. These days, because Xie Qingran had cried again and again, Aunt Liu was naturally very dissatisfied with Xie Qingran.
Even when combing Xie Qingran's hair, he pulled on her hair without any regard for her feelings.
Snap!
Xie Qingran suddenly stood up and slapped Aunt Liu hard across the face.
"My aunt has been by my mother's side for so many years, how come she's so bad at serving people?"
"You can't even comb your hair properly, I really don't know why your mother kept you by her side!"
Aunt Liu turned her head to the side after being hit, and then looked at Xie Qingran in disbelief. She never expected that Xie Qingran would dare to lay a hand on her.
"How dare you! I am your mother's dowry! You dare to hit me? Do you have no respect for elders or superiors?"
"What is the concept of superiority and inferiority? I am the only eldest daughter of the Xie family. I am superior, and you are inferior!"
Xie Qingran showed no weakness, stepped forward, and stared intently at Aunt Liu with her cold eyes.
"If you can't do it right, get out and don't get in my way!"
After saying this, Xie Qingran sat down again and, looking through the mirror, gave a cold snort.
Aunt Liu took a deep breath before stepping forward again to comb Xie Qingran's hair. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she dared not do anything reckless and served her respectfully.
