Yan Qing felt that she was deliberately trying to quarrel with him, otherwise how could she say such words? Most people should understand this truth, right? He is the master of this family.
As for Sophia, she is just the housekeeper of this family, so she should follow her own arrangements.
Sophia insisted that she would obey Huo Beiting's orders and she would never obey Yan Qing's orders.
"Why do you have to go against me like this? It won't do you any good."
Sophia was very angry. "I am just following the rules. Madam, you are too persistent."
Yan Qing found it very funny. Was he wrong in saying that? But he was the Yan Qing of this family. Did his words have no weight?
"Sophia, listen to me. From today on, I am the Yan Qingren of this family. You must obey my arrangements, otherwise I will tell Huo Beiting about this and ask him to fire you."
After hearing this, Sophia was very sad. She turned around and ran away. She returned to her room, feeling very uncomfortable.
She didn't like being told what to do by Yan Qing, and she disliked this manor even more. She once fantasized about becoming Yan Qing's wife in this manor, but in the end Huo Beiting still married Yan Qing.
She was very dissatisfied with this, so she decided to give Yan Qing a good beating.
Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at her face, then reached out and slapped herself twice. Her face became a little swollen, and not only that, it also left a clear palm mark.
After knowing this, she turned around and walked back to the servant's room.
This is a public place where all servants can rest.
They soon noticed Sophia's and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"
"You look unhappy."
"What exactly happened? Sophia, just say the truth and don't keep us guessing."
Sophia started crying, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The others became even more curious when they saw her like this, because they had never seen Sophia so sad.
So they said, "What's the matter with you? Tell me now."
Sophia saw that the others were very anxious, thought for a moment and said, "I was beaten by Yan Qing."
After hearing the news, the others felt incredible, because Yan Qing looked very kind, very friendly, and spoke very gently. They felt that this could not be done by Yan Qing.
"Are you mistaken? Was this really done by Madam?"
"It's true. I'm not lying. Today, when I brought her a midnight snack, I don't know how I offended her. She scolded me and then slapped me hard twice."
"Since the young master moved into this manor, he has always treated us as family. This kind of thing has never happened before. But Yan Qing is particularly hateful. She actually did such a cruel thing. My face is so swollen that it can't even be healed."
Although the other servants didn't dare to believe what they heard, they had to believe it after seeing the redness and swelling on Sophia's face.
"This is unbelievable. Madam seems so kind, why could she be so cruel?"
"She even told me to go to bed early before. I thought she was a very nice person."
After hearing these discussions, Sophia was also very happy. "So, we can't just let others bully us. We have to fight against her together."
"But we are servants after all. We have no right to interfere in our masters' affairs. We can only accept whatever they do to us."
The other servants also sighed, "Yes, after all, our identities are different."
Sophia had originally thought of rushing over to them to punish Yan Qing, but after hearing these words, she rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be discouraged, what's wrong with Yan Qing? Why can't we punish her?"
"But Yan Qing is the master of the country after all. We have no right to do this."
The other servants were also in trouble.
"You can't think like that. We were hired by Huo Beiting, so our employer should be Huo Beiting."
The others didn't understand what Sophia meant by that.
"I've already said this much, don't you understand? This means Huo Beiting is our master, and Yan Qing has nothing to do with us."
"So she has no right to order us around, let alone punish us."
"But is that really the case? I don't think this is right. Huo Beiting marrying Yan Qing means that they both became the owners of this manor, and we are just servants of this manor. We should obey them both."
Sophia immediately retorted after hearing this, "Let me ask you who recruited us?"
"It's Huo Beiting."
"That's it. Since Huo Beiting recruited us, it means we only obey Huo Beiting. As for Yan Qing, she's just someone living here. There's no need for us to bother with her, let alone serve her."
"But is this really okay? I don't think I can do this."
After hearing that several people were still undecided, Sophia said, "I don't want this to happen either, but Yan Qing is really abominable. She constantly beats and scolds me, and humiliates us, saying that we are lowly bitches and that we don't deserve to live. How can we respect a person like Yan Qing and love her for everything? Anyway, I will not accept the support of this woman."
Seeing the redness and swelling on Sophia's face, the other people began to hesitate again. Yes, Yan Qing didn't treat them as human beings at all, so why should they respect her?
"I really don't understand why you guys are still hesitating? Can't you make a decision about such an obvious thing? This Yan Qingren is very vicious. Secondly, it wasn't her who signed the contract with us. Our employer in the contract was only Huo Beiting. So according to our country's laws, we were hired by Huo Beiting and have an employment relationship with him. As for the other people, they have no relationship with us at all."
After hearing Sophia's words, the servants who were still wavering before all felt that she was right. "That's right, the contract only has our name and Huo Beiting's name. Is Yan Qing's name on it?"
Sophia thought for a moment and said, "If Yan Qing really wanted to give us orders, she would definitely ask for her name to be added to the contract. But now her name is definitely not on the contract. What does this mean? This means that Huo Beiting doesn't agree at all. With Huo Beiting backing us up, what are you afraid of?"
After hearing these words, the other people were completely shaken.
It is true that they are servants, but they also have dignity. After Sophia's provocation, they felt that Yan Qing was really terrible.
Because Huo Beiting is so good, Yan Qing looks worse.
