Xi Que frowned: Oh my, this guy's martial arts skills are actually higher than hers!
Wan Yan quickly realized what was happening and immediately let go.
The magpie withdrew her hand, then raised it again and slapped the young lady hard across the face several times: "You dare to stop your mistress in front of our young lady? I'd like to see just how tough you really are!"
Knowing that Wan Yan's martial arts skills were superior to his own, Xi Que did not hold back at all this time.
With the big plan yet to be accomplished, Wan Yan dared not reveal too much of her strength.
She didn't dare to use too much internal energy to defend herself, and was knocked off balance by the fierce slaps from the magpie. Her already unremarkable face instantly became red and swollen like a pig's.
Finally, Wan Yan got up, knelt on the ground, and said in a seemingly humble manner, "Your Highness, Madam, this servant knows her mistake. This servant will definitely remember her duty and serve you carefully from now on."
But her gaze fixed on the ground was sharp and vicious, as if she wanted to pierce through the stone slabs.
Qian Yingying is such an idiot!
And these two bandits!
Wan Yan will remember this grudge!
"I once read a line in a storybook that went something like this: 'The ancients said that to admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue; but I think that admitting one's mistakes and correcting them must be done in a timely manner, otherwise it is just being a scoundrel and a rogue.'" Ji Fengyao looked at Wan Yan calmly and said, "If you really want to admit your mistakes and stay by Yingying's side to serve her properly, I will send someone to the Qian family to retrieve your body; you can clean the stables for three months, and this matter will be forgiven. How about that?"
"Sweep the stables?!" Wan Yan exclaimed in shock.
She's a first-class death guard, and you expect her to shovel horse manure every day?!
"Or, I can clean the chamber pot," Ji Fengyao said casually, picking at her fingernails.
Wan Yan: "!!!"
What's the difference between that and sweeping the stables!
To avoid shoveling horse manure and cleaning chamber pots, Wan Yan had no choice but to submit, kowtowing again. Her voice remained calm, yet carried a hint of arrogance: "Your Highness, Madam only has me as her personal maid. If I leave, Madam will be left without anyone to take care of her. I truly know I was wrong, and I beg Your Highness to give me another chance!"
"You're dreaming! You think you can get rid of the punishment? We have so many maids in our household, it doesn't matter which one you choose to serve. Do you really think the Sixth Madam can't do without you?" Xi Que pouted and retorted coolly.
Wan Yan gritted her teeth in frustration after being teased by the magpie.
Damn bandits, you just wait, you'll be begging me for help someday!
Knowing that it wouldn't work to beg the two bandits, Wan Yan looked up at Qian Yingying again, intending to plead with her, since Qian Yingying was her nominal master.
And now...
Qian Yingying was very comfortable, holding a pastry in each hand, her mouth full, and focused on eating, not even glancing at her, as if she were someone else's maid.
Wan Yan: "..."
That wretched, idiotic woman, why didn't she just choke on her food!
With no one to plead for her, and in order to avoid being kicked out of the manor, Wan Yan had no choice but to swallow her anger and agree to sweep the stables.
After the servants led her away, Qian Yingying immediately put down the pastries in her hand, obediently got off the bed, walked to Ji Fengyao, knelt down and kowtowed to her: "I am grateful that you did not abandon me and were willing to help me; I have no way to repay you, so I will tell you a secret, which may be of some help to you."
"Get up quickly," Ji Fengyao said, personally getting off the bed and helping Qian Yingying up. "What secret?" she asked.
Qian Yingying stepped forward, getting closer to Ji Fengyao, and whispered, "It seems there's someone by the Second Prince's side who's an old acquaintance of yours. Her condition for helping the Second Prince is that she wants your life."
P.S.: Chapter 789 is after Chapter 793. The order was wrong. We'll have to wait for the editor to come back to work to fix it for Rabbit. My little cuties, please skip ahead and take a look, okay?
