Chapter 20
Translator: Darling | Editor: Nebosuke
Early the next morning, the kitchen sent two maids to deliver breakfast to Yu Linglong and Xuan Cao.
The reason was very simple: one of the people from Li Fengnian’s family was beaten up by the 4th miss in the kitchen, and even madam Mu Shi was beaten, and she still couldn’t get out of the bed.
Two lively bloody examples were in front of everyone.
Who else in the house dared to provoke this savage 4th miss of this Yu house?
Although the higher ones step on the lower ones in this house, it is human nature for the weaker ones to be afraid of the stronger ones.
Now, after seeing the 4th miss even surrender to madam Mu Shi, everyone had to act according to the situation.
They didn’t dare to step forward, and they also cannot be offensive.
This was Yu Linglong’s purpose. To catch the thief, they first had to catch the leader. She didn’t have much time to act slowly.
One had to kill the chicken to give the monkey a look. The best target, of course, was madam Mu Shi.
If you want to blame someone, just blame her for being the Madam of this house. If she didn’t target her, then who should she target!?
Xuan Cao served Yu Linglong and washed her up well.
Then she put on a red embroidered butterfly pattern dress that they bought last night.
Yu Linglong’s snowy skin looked even more like jade, just as clear as a new moon, like a tree in snow heap, and her pair of eyes shined brightly even in the daytime, making it hard for others to stare.
After glancing at the two trembling girls on the ground, Yu Linglong’s face showed a faint smile, which made people unable to understand her mood at the moment.
After a pause, she asked, “Who let you come?”
As soon as she spoke, one maid fell to her knees subconsciously, and the other maid also knelt down quickly, trembling, “We were sent by Ms.Li to serve you food.”
From Li Fengnian’s family?
Yu Linglong couldn’t help but sneer, it seemed that these people finally learned well.
If they don’t give her food, no one can think about what will happen next.
Standing up softly, Yu Linglong glanced at the food box on the table: “Do you want to taste it?”
According to the case that happened last night in Li Fengnian’s family, the two maids knew what might happen.
As soon as they heard Yu Linglong say that, tears fell from the two girls’ scared faces.
One girl trembled and sobbed: “Even if I have great courage, I wouldn’t dare to juggle your food! 4th miss, please act wisely…”
“All right, shut up!” Yu Linglong interrupted her impatiently, and the girl immediately shut her mouth obediently.
Sitting at the table, Yu Linglong picked up the spoon elegantly: “I am very generous.
I can’t say when will I give you my food to you, according to my emotions.
Tell Ms. Li to think wisely as to what will be the result of her actions!”
After hearing these few words, the two maids were already sifting bran, and they promised in a hurry: “We don’t dare, we don’t dare!”
“Okay, go back.”
Watching the two maids respectfully exit the room, Xuan Cao asked worriedly: “Do we really have to eat this meal?”
Yu Linglong glanced at her: “What? Do you want to eat out every day?”
Xuan Cao choked and grabbed the spoon in Yu Linglong’s hand: “Then let me taste it first. If it is not poisonous, you can eat it again, Miss!”
With that said, Xuan Cao quickly tasted the side dishes on the table one by one, and then stood on the side with a serious face, as if she was waiting for an accident to happen.
Looking at Xuan Cao as if she were dead, Yu Linglong couldn’t help laughing: “What are you doing?”
Laughing back, Yu Linglong’s heart flooded inexplicably.
It was clear that Li Fengnian’s family had poisoned the food last night. Xuan Cao still dared to try the food herself.
If she was not loyal to Yu Linglong, what motivating force could allow a person to do such a thing?
Xuan Cao met Yu Linglong’s gaze, but with tears in her eyes, she said firmly: “I have followed you since you were a child.
If something bad happens to you, I will only die! There are so many people in this house who want to hurt you – I cannot let this happen!”
Looking at Xuan Cao’s serious face, Yu Linglong didn’t even know what to say.
Although the two days passed by and they did not have a good time, she was lucky to have such a loyal maid.
Yu Linglong gazed down and lowered her eyes, trying to focus her attention on breakfast: “It’s alright, let’s eat.”
Xuan Cao tried hard to feel if there was something strange in her body, and when it was not there, she smiled: “Well, it’s okay, miss, you can eat with confidence.”
Yu Linglong’s chopsticks paused: “Since you are so uneasy, let’s make a small kitchen by ourselves and just hire a few cooks and girls.”
Xuan Cao suddenly said: “Miss, this idea is good! I will go out to find someone later.”
How did she forget that her miss was rich? Hiring a few cooks was not a big deal.
As the two were discussing, and suddenly there was a panicked voice outside: “The 4th miss, it is not good, something is wrong!”
Yu Linglong frowned slightly. She had just arrived here for only two days, what could’ve happened?
Xuan Cao hurriedly greeted them and said, “Miss is having breakfast, who dares to be noisy here?”
A terrified voice came from the courtyard, “I don’t dare, but… Prince Xu is coming and he has asked the 4th miss to come out.”
Prince Xu? Suddenly something flashed in Yu Linglong’s mind. The man in a snow-white shirt, who stood beneath the hazy lantern, heard someone called him “Prince”.
Could he be that Prince Xu?
It seems that the man could find Yu LingLong that quick.
Ignoring the trembling girl in the yard, Yu Linglong got up and said coldly, “Let’s go out and see.”
…….
On the other side, Madam Mu Shi was listening to the report from the maid, “…… Prince Xu came to our house so early. He is sitting in the outer courtyard living room and refuses to go back. The housekeeper already said many times that the General is not home and there are only women in the house. Moreover, Madam is not feeling well, so she can’t come out and meet you, but the Prince still refuses to go back……”
Madam Mu’s ears were dizzy. Her wounds still hurt. She just woke up from a coma but heard such horrible news.
Prince Xu… The one who filled with capitals, everybody knew that he was hard to handle and difficult to deal with!
Madam Mu Shi rubbed her head, barely cracking her mouth open to ask: “…… Didn’t he say anything?”
The maid who came to report hesitated for a moment, then carefully said: “Prince Xu said… He said that the 4th miss of our house robbed him of his horse, so he came to ask for his horse.”
It’s that Yu Linglong again! It was not enough to beat the Madam at home -she even got into trouble outside! Not to mention, it was with the difficult Prince Xu!
Madam Mu Shi only felt her blood rising, and her eyes went black. She really wanted to faint and die so she didn’t have to suffer this live crime.
But the fact is, she has to face this mess!
Mu Shi clenched her teeth and stood up, holding the pain of her whole body: “Come here, dress me.”
Qian Mama, with a swollen nose and a swollen face, limped forward: “Mrs. let’s take a rest first if you are like this… I’m afraid it’s not convenient to go out and meet guests.”
Mu Shi looked at the servants next to her. Shuangtao’s arms were still hanging around her neck. Qian Mama’s face was covered with a thick white cloth. Cui Mama hurt her teeth and could only move slightly…
The rest were not all good either. Everyone is scared with a wounded face, and a group of remnants is defeated!
For the time, Mu Shi was sad and angry, and she almost shed tears. Why did she have to suffer such a big loss?
Now she is not only the one in pain, but also everyone in the house has scars on their body, and they completely lost their reputation!
After gritting her teeth, Mu Shi ordered: “Go, bring back Brother Wu!”
