Lei Ting stood up and said calmly: "Pan'er, go back with your mother first. Second brother, come with me to the outer courtyard to handle some things." As he said that, Lei Ting walked out with his long legs, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.
When Ren Yaohua saw that Lei Pan'er had stopped crying, she took her out without even glancing at Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao opened her mouth, looked at Lei Paner, hesitated and was about to follow, but was blocked by Xiang Qin who squeezed up.
Xiang Qin looked at Xiao Qiao with a forced smile, but her tone was very respectful and polite. "Madam, please stay. Our mistress is going to take our young lady back to the main courtyard now. I'm afraid your status is a little inappropriate compared to before. After all, it's still considered a bridal chamber! I'll have someone take Madam back right away. Oh, if you need anything, please feel free to ask. Since you're staying at the Lei family temporarily, you're our honored guest, and we'll naturally treat you well."
At this time, Ren Yaohua had already walked to the front with Lei Pan'er. Xiang Qin glanced at her, then pulled the corner of her mouth and lowered her voice and said, "But after all, you are a guest. As the saying goes, guests should follow the host's wishes, right? So in order not to cause trouble to the host family, could you please not be too casual during your visit to our Lei family? Tsk, you are so familiar, it really makes us feel embarrassed sometimes! Guests should act like guests! Someone like my concubine who understands all those messy 'etiquette', it is impossible for her not to understand these principles, right?"
Xiao Qiao listened to Xiang Qin, the audacious maid, scolding her, and her face turned pale with anger: "You..."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking, Xiang Qin rolled her eyes in an ungraceful manner, baring her teeth and whispering venomously, "That's right, maid, I'm just flattering the powerful and bullying the weak! Who asked you to be so arrogant while living under someone else's roof? You have no money and no backing, so who else can I bully if not you?"
Xiao Qiao was nearly irritated by her words and raised her hand to hit her in the face. Xiang Qin had raised her hand to block it, but out of the corner of her eye she saw the maids and servants from the Lei family approaching. She quickly put on a tearful expression and said, "Don't be angry, Madam. Our mistress only took the young lady back home to comfort her because she felt sorry for her. She definitely didn't mean to neglect you by sending a small servant like me to greet you. Please don't scold our young lady for being rude. This servant apologizes to you."
The Lei family's maids and servants all looked at Xiao Qiao, who was raising her hand as if to strike someone, with a hint of disapproval in their eyes. They had already recognized Xiang Qin as the head maid brought by the mistress, and when it came to beating a dog, it was the owner that mattered. And from what the maid said, Xiao Qiao seemed to be getting a bit too angry, as if she really thought she was the master of the Lei family.
Xiang Qin didn't look at Xiao Qiao's face, but bowed to her and left with a sad face. Xiao Qiao was left speechless.
Xiangqin triumphantly chased after her master, but not far away she saw Wujing waiting for her. Wujing saw her smug look, reached out and tapped her on the head, warning her, "Be more restrained and don't cause trouble for the master!"
Xiang Qin's nostrils were about to rise to the sky. "Humph! How dare any cat or dog dare to come and irritate our young lady? This maidservant will kill her!"
Wujing glared at Xiangqin helplessly, but couldn't help laughing: "Where did you learn that?" Wujing and Xiangqin grew up together and had a tacit understanding. When she saw Xiangqin stopping Xiao Qiao, she knew that she was going to do something bad, so she stood not far away to keep watch for her. She felt very happy to see her making Xiao Qiao so angry that she was shaking all over.
