Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 685 - Chapter 685 Chapter 685 Maid Mei Hua

Chapter 685: Chapter 685 Maid Mei Hua Chapter 685: Chapter 685 Maid Mei Hua “You lowly servant, how dare you touch me with your wretched hands?”

As soon as Lady Tang was freed, she immediately began vehemently scolding Uncle Zhong, venting all the frustration she had suffered from Situ Yongjie on him.

Uncle Zhong stood motionless like a wooden statue, expressionless, showing no reaction to her scolding.

After a few rebukes, Lady Tang’s anger subsided a bit, and realizing that such behavior was not only unhelpful but might also tarnish the image Situ Yongjie had of her, she stopped. She straightened her disheveled clothes, tidied her hairbun that had come undone, and then turned around, leaving briskly with her maid.

Not until Lady Tang’s figure had completely disappeared,

did Uncle Zhong return to the room, “Reporting to the Old Master, madam has left.”

“She is not the madam, do not refer to her as such anymore,” Situ Yongjie, holding a book, said indifferently.

Uncle Zhong paused for a moment, then quickly responded, “Yes, I understand. I will instruct everyone in the mansion to change how they address her.”

“Hmm!”

“Old Master, how should the servants address the madam from now on?”

“Address her as you did when she entered the General’s Mansion, it has never changed.”

“Yes, I understand now.”

General Situ waved his hand, “Go out, I need some peace.”

Uncle Zhong left the room, gently closing the door and thoughtfully called in two guards to stand by the door, preventing others from disturbing the general.

When Situtu Qinger heard this news, it was a quarter of an hour later.

As Uncle Zhong instructed the servants to no longer call Lady Tang as ‘madam’ but ‘concubine’, the entire General’s Mansion was in an uproar.

The news spread quickly, and in no time at all, everyone in the General’s Mansion was aware of this change.

The servants were all abuzz, “The Eldest Legitimate Daughter just returned to the mansion, and madam has lost her position. Is the General’s Mansion about to see a change of power?”

“It seems that from now on, we should be nicer to the Eldest Legitimate Daughter; otherwise, we won’t even know how we might die!”

The maids and servant boys all nodded in agreement, “We’re just servants, we can’t afford to lose our lives. If we respect everyone in the mansion, that’s definitely without error.”

Just as they were discussing this enthusiastically, a voice came from behind them, “Are you tired of living? Got no work to do, gathering here, gossiping about the master?”

They all turned to see, it was Mei Hua, the personal maid of the Second Miss.

Because Lady Tang controlled the entire General’s Mansion and the Second Miss was her biological daughter, because of this relationship, the Second Miss’s maid also rose in status in the mansion; they dared not offend her, and quickly scattered like bees.

Mei Hua had heard everything clearly and thought it over — the demotion of madam to concubine was a significant matter, affecting the Second Miss. Especially since these days, with Xuexue’s return, directly stripping Situtu Qinger of the Eldest Legitimate Daughter’s status, the Second Miss was already in a terrible mood, and nothing worse should happen.

With this thought, Mei Hua could no longer care for anything else and immediately turned around and ran back to the courtyard to report to the Second Miss.

Peacock Court

After a few days of rest, Situtu Qinger’s mood finally improved a bit.

She had just finished dinner and was now sitting in a nanmu Noble Consort Chair with her eyes closed, recuperating.

At that moment, Mei Hua rushed in, still loudly exclaiming, “Second Miss, Second Miss, it’s terrible! Something big happened! It’s about madam!”
