"Don't say that. If it weren't for the fact that the young lady is using so much charcoal to raise butterflies, she would have enough charcoal."
Xiaoying glared at her, "What do you know? Master is just biased. They're both daughters, but he can't treat them equally. Isn't it just because the second young lady has a seductive appearance that he thinks she has a better chance of marrying the crown prince? Doesn't he realize that the crown prince favors our eldest young lady?"
The maid beside her wanted to persuade her, but when she saw the person walking through the moon gate, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.
Xiaoying turned around, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw who had come. But a moment later, she stood there resolutely.
She wasn't wrong; that's the truth, so what was there to be ashamed of?
Her young lady is kind-hearted, but she couldn't bear to watch.
The Crown Prince does indeed favor her eldest daughter; who in the entire capital doesn't know that?
Qiao Wanyan walked up to her, her mind still filled with the advice from her dream.
Don't antagonize the female lead, Qiao Yihuan, and don't make things difficult for the people around her. Be a good person, clear your name, and repent. Only then can you survive. Yes, only then could she go back. She remembered that the original owner slapped the maid in front of her in the second timeline. This maid is the closest to her elder sister. Actually, what she said wasn't entirely wrong, but she forgot that she's just a maid, and in this era, talking badly about your master behind their back can cause her death. She sighed inwardly; no wonder this maid suffered so much from the original Wanyan.
Qiao Wanyan spoke in a calm voice, "Kneel down."
It's not that she wants to make things difficult for this maid, but she can't change her personality drastically. Slapping her? She can't do that either, so she can only make her kneel.
Xiao Ying refused to kneel, but the maid behind Qiao Wanyan kicked her in the leg. Xiao Ying had no choice but to kneel in front of her, even though she didn't want to.
"A vixen? Is this how your young lady taught you to be disrespectful to your master behind her back?"
Xiaoying gritted her teeth. She was supposed to accompany her mistress out of the manor in the afternoon, so wouldn't this delay her mistress's trip?
Qiao Wanyan looked at her with a calm gaze, "You'll kneel here until sunset. As for your young lady's charcoal, if the charcoal in the residence is not enough, have someone purchase it from outside." Wanyan looked at the maid kneeling in front of her, seeing that she couldn't even hide her dissatisfaction, and helplessly touched her forehead. Ohhh, what a headache. Can't she realize that the more she shows her rebelliousness and resentment, the more her young lady will suffer?
But I can't blame her; this maid is still young. If it were in my world, this maid would just be a high school student.
"Let me give you a piece of advice, although I know you might not listen, but if you want your young lady to suffer less in the future, you must first learn to endure and hide your thoughts well, or you'll just make things worse." She really advised her sincerely because in the novel, this maid is one of the reasons why Qiao Yihuan suffered from Wanyan's clutches.
I hope she listens, which I doubt.
After saying that, she started to leave.
What did the original Wanyan think at this time? Ahh, right, she abhorred being someone else's lackey.
Wanyan studied diligently from a young age, mastering everything from music and chess to calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, and tea. So she thought, why should she be relegated to being a mere supporting character to someone who is inferior to her in every way?
Just because she wasn't kind enough? Not stupid enough? Not easy for those men to manipulate?
What's wrong with being greedy for power and vain?
This shows that she is ambitious. That's how the original Wanyan thought in the novel. She thinks everyone is selfish, so why be a hypocrite and pretend to be a selfless person? In this regard, it can be said that she really has weird views but is also an oddly honest person.
Such a foolish girl, she knows that she's the best, and based on her background, looks, and talent, why bother clinging to a man who doesn't love you, why fight for it? I can't really understand her way of thinking. As a law-abiding citizen who even volunteers to feed stray cats and dogs and sends gifts and plays with the children in different orphanages, I can't really get Wanyan's train of thought.Such a foolish girl, she knows that she's the best, and based on her background, looks, and talent, why bother clinging to a man who doesn't love you, why fight for it?
