Chapter 016 Asking for Trouble

The old lady was half leaning on the cushion, and next to her was the head maid Ningxiang, who was massaging her legs.

"Miss, are we going the wrong way?"

"You are already the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, but you still call the maids you brought from your parents' home "Miss". It's really unruly. Ningxiang, you should teach these little maids a lesson when you have time."

Ningxiang quickly replied, "Yes."

Meng Ya blushed and became angry.

"You're not in the wrong place. I decided to go at the last minute. I don't want to trouble you to prepare an extra carriage for me. I'll just share it with you. Do you mind?"

Oh, this guy is looking for trouble.

"Of course I don't mind, Meng Ya, you go down first."

"yes."

Xia Xue curled her lips and walked into the carriage.

With a bang, he sat down hard.

The carriage shook violently several times, and the horses whinnied and swayed from side to side.

Ningxiang, who was half-kneeling, couldn't kneel steadily for a moment and instinctively hugged the old lady's legs.

"Ningxiang, is this the etiquette of a maid like you? Let's not talk about whether you can remain calm when being insulted or not. Just because you pulled your master's leg, you should be punished for disrespect!"

"If your mother falls down due to your fault and breaks her legs, arms or waist, can you afford to pay for it with your life?"

Old Lady:......

"you"

"What do you mean by 'you'? I am the master and you are the servant. How dare you use 'you' to talk to me?"

"With your courtesy, you still promised the old lady to teach us Meng Ya. Do you think you can teach Meng Ya, who is also a maid like you?"

"I"

There was a layer of mist in Ningxiang's eyes, and she looked at the old lady for help.

Old lady: "Shut up! I haven't done anything yet, but you've cursed me to death." The old lady glared at Xia Xue.

"Ningxiang, you too, are usually a steady person, but something went wrong at this time, making some people with ulterior motives laugh at you."

"A person's true character can only be seen in times of crisis, old lady, be careful not to raise an ungrateful person."

Ningxiang finally couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

"Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion knows that Madam has a sharp tongue. Ningxiang has learned her lesson today. Ningxiang really cannot teach Meng Ya a lesson. Madam, please be merciful and let Ningxiang go."

Xia Xue raised her eyebrows, thinking that you know face.

The carriage started quickly.

Ningxiang continued to massage the old lady's legs.

Xia Xue said nothing, looking out the window.

After a while, the old lady changed her posture.

"Ningxiang, your hands are weak, please let Madam take care of me."

Ningxiang replied: "Yes."

A smile flashed in her eyes, and she moved towards the door, giving Xia Xue the position where she had just been half-kneeling.

Xia Xue smiled, "This carriage is small to begin with, and it's already crowded with two people. Meng Ya, who is also a maid, has already gone down to walk. Ningxiang, since the old lady doesn't need you to serve her anymore, you can go down and walk with her."

Ningxiang's face changed.

The old lady's Nanshan Garden has strict rules and regulations. No matter what time it is, the maids on duty must dress appropriately for their status. For example, at this moment, the soles of their shoes are three-inch horse hoof soles. If they go to Prince Lu's mansion, they might not be able to leave the house for a month or two.

The Madam's Fuyun Pavilion has always had lax requirements, and the servants only need to dress comfortably, so she took a special look just now and saw that Meng Ya was wearing flat-soled boudoirs. How could she walk together?

Thinking of this, Ningxiang looked at the old lady pleadingly. She also wanted to inform Miss Li that her disabled legs would delay important matters.

"Why, do you think that because the old lady has always been partial to you, you can be equal to the master? Not to mention that the old lady is fair and impartial, even if she wants to be partial, she can't be partial in front of me. The old lady has to set an example for me."

"Is that so, mother?" Xia Xue turned her head and smiled.

The old lady's teeth were clattering, waiting for tonight, Tingting will enter the Chu family legitimately, let's see how you can still be so arrogant!!!

"Ningxiang, just do as Madam said and go down and walk."

"yes."

Ningxiang pouted and got out of the car.

When Meng Ya saw Ningxiang coming down, she immediately became more cheerful. She knew that her young lady would not suffer a loss easily.

Ningxiang snorted, ignored Meng Ya, and followed him.

With one less person in the car, it instantly became a lot more spacious.

The old lady lay down and put her legs on the stool.

This clearly meant that Xia Xue was not allowed to sit and could only squat or kneel.

Xia Xue smiled, pulled out two cushions, stacked them up and put them on the ground, then she sat down on the cushions.

Old Lady:......

Old lady: "Put on some effort, as if you haven't eaten."

Xia Xue: "As you wish."

Although Xia Xue was a poor student, she had learned some medical skills and knew a little about acupuncture points. Since the old lady wanted to use force, she naturally had to use force well.

The old lady didn't really have any pain in her legs, she just didn't want Xia Xue to stay comfortably, so it would be good to torment her a little.

"Mother, is it uncomfortable here?"

"Here?"

"How's it going here?"

Xia Xue did a good job of beating the opponent, but she talked too much.

The old lady simply closed her eyes.

After a while, Xia Xue's hands felt so sore that she stopped and rubbed her arms as she looked at the old lady who seemed to be sleeping.

Old lady: “Don’t stop!”

Xia Xue:......

Xia Xue's tender hands hit him again.

【Xia Xue: Compare them. 】

【Bibi: Master, what's wrong? 】

[Xia Xue: Is there any medicine that can make her sleep for a few hours? ]

Prince Lu did not invite the old lady, but the old lady came uninvited. Xia Xue always felt that something bad was going on.

[Bibi: ‘Slept soundly’ for half an hour, an hour, two hours…]

It would be best if the party is over today.

【Xia Xue: Then six hours.】

【Bibi: ......】

【Bibi: That’s twelve hours.】

[Xia Xue: I actually forgot that one hour is two hours, so let’s say three hours.]

【Bibi: !!!】

[Bibi: After all, I followed a master who was such a poor student.]

The old lady soon fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the carriage came to a stop with a bang, and the butler's voice was heard outside.

"My dear old lady, Miss Ningxiang can't keep up. Should we stop the car and wait for her for a while?"

"The old lady is asleep, so there's no need to bother her with this matter. Let's go first and let Ningxiang catch up slowly."

"yes!"

When the housekeeper heard the lady's voice, he immediately understood.

Ningxiang was used to acting arrogantly in the Prime Minister's Mansion, relying on the old lady's favor. This time, she wanted the lady to teach her a lesson and make her restrain herself.

"Keep going!"

Another half an hour passed, and they finally arrived at Prince Lu's Mansion.

As soon as she got off the car, Xia Xue was really impressed by how shabby the prime minister's residence was.

This was originally a royal villa in the suburbs of Beijing. After the emperor ascended the throne, he gave it to Prince Lu.

"Madam, the old lady," the housekeeper asked.

"The old lady is a little tired these days and wants to rest for a while before getting off the car. You guys stay here and keep watch."

"Oh, by the way, Ningxiang hasn't caught up yet. Mengya, you go into the carriage and wait for her. Come out when Ningxiang arrives."

"yes."

Although Meng Ya knew that Xia Xue wanted her to get into the carriage to rest, she was still very uneasy with the old devil sleeping next to her.

"rest assured!"

Xia Xue patted Meng Ya's hand and entered Prince Lu's palace.
