Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 669 - Chapter 669 Chapter 669 Muddy Legs

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Muddy Legs Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Muddy Legs “Madam, I didn’t mention it before, but now I have to say, I’m filled with grievances. Those godforsaken servants stood by and watched that little cheap person hit me, and not one of them stepped forward to help. Madam, you might as well sell them all and get me a new batch of subordinates.”

Lady Tang frowned, surprised by this revelation; no wonder Nanny Yu had been at a disadvantage. Her expression softened considerably, “Alright then! I’m aware of this matter. Get up.”

“Yes, madam.” Nanny Yu stood up with a mournful face.

“Xiao Ting, take her down and give her a reward,” said Lady Tang to her personal servant girl Xiao Ting standing behind her.

“Yes, madam.”

Xiao Ting stepped forward and said to Nanny Yu, “Sister Yu, come with me.”

They were both capable assistants under Lady Tang and they had a good relationship, addressing each other as sisters.

Not until their figures had disappeared did Lady Tang sit on the stool with a dark expression on her face.

Situ Qinger gritted her teeth with hatred for Xuexue. On her very first day, she had managed to strip her of her status as the Eldest Legitimate Daughter. Just thinking about this made her seethe, “Mother, that little bastard is so arrogant. Why doesn’t your daughter teach her a lesson, so she understands that the General’s Mansion isn’t to be trifled with?”

“Qinger, you’re a young lady and must not act recklessly,” Lady Tang said with a headache.

Situ Qinger had an attractive appearance and was talented and clever, proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was Lady Tang’s pride, and her mother had plans to marry her into the royal family and nobles. They couldn’t afford any mishap that would ruin her reputation; that would be a loss not worth the gain.

“But how can we swallow this humiliation if we allow that little cheap person to bully us and continue her arrogance in the General’s Mansion?”

“Mother has her own ideas, so you need not worry.”

As they ate and chatted, they sent all the maids away to discuss how to deal with Xuexue, thinking no one would hear their conversation.

Little did they know that right before their very eyes, there was a lively and adorable little girl, as pristine as an ivory carving, sitting at one side, listening with keen interest.

Indeed, this little girl was Xiao Taohong.

She had been sent by Xuexue to spy on the enemy.

Seeing that she could no longer hear anything of value, she turned and glided away.

The next day

The sky was just beginning to brighten when the doors of Qingyuo Pavilion were pounded upon loudly.

Since all the maids were gone, leaving only Madam Xie’s family, they were exhausted from a month of weary travel and slept soundly.

Thus, they did not hear the knocking at all.

They did not respond.

Yet the person outside was persistent and kept on knocking fiercely.

“Bang…”

Finally, Xuexue was woken by the noise.

She put on her clothes and yawned as she made her way to the door, her tone impatient, “Who is it? Early in the morning, before it’s even light, and you’re knocking and knocking. Can’t you let people sleep?”

“Nanny Yu is calling for you to hurry to the kitchen to help. Look at the time; get up quickly. The madam and the young masters will be up for breakfast soon,” an annoyed voice of an old maid came from outside.

Heh! Nanny Yu sure had some nerve. She had just been beaten up last night, and now, first thing in the morning, she was already sending someone to pick a fight?

Xuexue slammed the door open, her tone unpleasant, “If you’re looking for menial servants, go to another courtyard. There are no servants here; everyone is a master.”

After speaking, without waiting for a reply, she banged the door shut again.

The person outside was taken aback, spitting in disgust at the door, “Pah, what nonsense. Calling yourselves masters? You’re nothing but country bumpkins, barely any more noble than us servants.”
