Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 686 - Chapter 686 Chapter 686 The Four Maids

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: The Four Maids Chapter 686: Chapter 686: The Four Maids Situ Qinger opened her eyes and stared fiercely at her, “Who is the Second Miss? If you keep spouting nonsense, believe it or not, this young lady will cut off your tongue.”

The excited Mei Hua who had rushed in was startled by her and immediately wilted, becoming somewhat incoherent, “Miss… it’s not… a major incident has truly occurred!”

“What exactly happened? All this fuss and commotion is unbecoming, how can you be so uncultured like a country maid!”

Thinking of Xuexue, that country maid, she was filled with anger. She, a noble and distinguished young lady, was demoted to the rank of Second Miss. These past few days, she had been sulking in her courtyard, longing to find Xuexue to vent her anger, yet she feared the tiger by her side.

Mei Hua felt extremely wronged inside. She had come back with good intentions to report the situation, but ended up being scolded fiercely by the Second Miss.

“Miss, the news has spread all over the mansion, they’re saying that the madam is no longer the madam, just a concubine.”

Situ Qinger, who had just picked up the hot tea from the table to drink, heard this and, without a second thought, hurled the hot tea in her hand fiercely at her, “Speak nonsense again, and believe it or not, I will cut off your tongue?”

“Ah…!” The hard cup and scalding hot tea were thrown all over Mei Hua’s face in an instant. She screamed, involuntarily covering her cheeks with her hands, crouching on the ground in pain.

The other three maids in the room were startled by Mei Hua’s terrible state.

They were Situ Qinger’s four personal maids: Mei Hua, Orchid, Zhu Hua, and Ju Hua.

On ordinary days, Situ Qinger treated them fairly well. These past few days, she was in a bad mood, and hearing this shocking news from Mei Hua was something she couldn’t accept, resulting in a violent outburst that almost disfigured Mei Hua.

“This is what you get for speaking nonsense in front of the young lady.” Orchid stepped forward and helped the pain-wracked Mei Hua to her feet, preparing to take her out for ointment.

“Ah… the pain…!” Mei Hua unintentionally let go of her hands, revealing a face that was red with blood and quickly blistering.

The maids were terrified. They were in the prime of their youth, and their looks were what they cared about the most. If they were disfigured, all hope would be gone. Wealthy families would certainly reject them, and there would be nothing left for them but a dead end.

“Get out, you irritate me just by being in sight.” Situ Qinger was already in turmoil and became even more annoyed on hearing Mei Hua’s continuous cries of pain.

Gathering her courage, Orchid said, “Miss, I will take her to apply ointment.”

“Go then.” Situ Qinger’s expression was dark.

Orchid, supporting the scalded Mei Hua, walked out.

With the Second Miss in a furious rage, the remaining two maids did not dare speak either. They lowered their heads and stood silently at the side, waiting for instructions.

Bad news followed one after another, leaving Situ Qinger in a tremendously foul mood.

“You two go out and find out what’s happening, see if what Mei Hua said is true.” Situ Qinger calmed down, and after careful consideration, realized such a significant matter was not something Mei Hua would dare to lie about. Maybe she had wronged her earlier.

“Yes, as you command, we will go,” the maids hurriedly retreated, preparing to gather information around the mansion.

When the Second Miss was not troubled by worries, she was quite good to these servants, but when she was vexed, she seemed like a completely different person, violent in nature. Every time this happened, the servants lived in fear and trepidation.

However, as her personal maids, they had no escape. Whenever these times came, they were particularly bitter inside. Of course, there were some benefits: the Second Miss’s birth mother was in charge of the General’s Mansion, and among the mansion’s servants, their status was higher than most.
