"Do you know how much this dress of mine costs? You stained it, can you afford to pay for it? You may not be able to afford it even if you work for two years!"
"I'm telling you, if you know what's best for you, bring me a pot of tea and apologize to me. I'm a magnanimous person and won't bother with you."
She was used to being domineering in the capital by relying on Liang Shouxin's power. When people outside heard that she was Commander Liang's wife, they would give her some face. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
This rural woman, this maid who does laundry and cooking for others, actually dared to do this to me! It's really outrageous! Do you really think I'm a sick cat if I don't show my power?
Zhang Dongling had already been so angry with Ye Lan that she lost her mind.
Sun Bin, who had been standing aside without saying anything, frowned and quietly pulled Zhang Dongling: "Speak less!"
How could Zhang Dongling listen to him? She shook off Sun Bin's hand and said, "Say less? What do you mean, say less? She's already shitting on my head! And you want me to endure it?"
"Do you think his family has any hospitality skills? The sun is already shining brightly, and the mistress hasn't even gotten up yet. Not only is he letting a servant talk nonsense here, but he doesn't even offer her a cup of tea."
"Qin Ye is a man trained by a famous family, how could he be so shortsighted as to hire such a thing? Aren't you afraid of bringing disgrace to the family?"
“Bang!”
This time, Ye Lan didn't throw anything, but gave Zhang Dongling a hard slap in the face.
Ye Lan was used to doing farm work, so before she even felt any effort, she saw that one side of Zhang Dongling's cheek had become red and swollen.
Before she could react to what was happening, she heard Ye Lan shouting angrily, "What did you say just now? Say it again!"
Zhang Dongling was dumbfounded.
How dare she hit me! How dare she, a servant who does laundry and cooking for others, hit me! I am Ye Qing's stepmother after all, right? How dare she hit me? !
She covered her face, still looking like she hadn't gotten enough of the beating, and shouted, "What's wrong with saying it again? You are..."
"Shut up!"
Before he could finish his words, Sun Bin couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly.
He ignored Zhang Dongling's puzzled look and bowed to Ye Lan to apologize: "I'm sorry, sister. She has little experience and no sense. You are a magnanimous person and don't bother with her. I apologize to you here. Can you please call Ye Qing?"
"We came all the way from Beijing and took several days of train ride. She was a little tired so she spoke without thinking. Since we came all the way here, can you please give us some convenience? Thank you, sister!"
Sun Bin was sweet-talking and arrogant. He had noticed that something was wrong with Ye Lan a long time ago, and he immediately bowed his head and gave in.
This sounds like human language.
Ye Lan glanced at him and said, "Ye Qing just got up and feels a little uncomfortable. I made her some porridge and she's eating it now. She'll be fine soon. Wait a moment, I'll go check on her."
After saying that, he glared at Zhang Dongling fiercely and walked away from her, leaving Zhang Dongling confused.
Seeing Ye Lan walking away, Sun Bin pulled her again and whispered, "Can't you see? She's not a servant!"
Zhang Dongling's head was still buzzing after the slap she received, and she became even more confused after hearing what Sun Bin said.
"What did you say? She's not a servant? Then who is she?"
Sun Bin felt like he was working with a fool, and sighed: "I didn't see it at first, but think about it, Qin Ye's wife is called Ye Qing, and her name is Ye Lan."
Zhang Dongling finally reacted, covering her face with her hands and looking at Sun Bin with wide eyes: "You mean...you mean...she is not a servant, she is Ye Qing's sister?!"
Sun Bin nodded: "I think so. Otherwise, which servant would dare to have such a bad temper? Besides, she always calls Ye Qing by her first name when she mentions her. How dare she scold a servant?"
