Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 196

Si Yiniang's inner room is very simple, and you can see the whole thing at a glance.Simple and elegant dressing table, small and exquisite round table and four matching carved chairs.A mahogany chaise longue chair with carved patterns is placed against the window, and there is also an autumn-colored brocade pillow on the chair.

Next to the sandalwood carved dripping bed is a red sandalwood cabinet carved with Qingluan peony group, and the edge of a bamboo hat can be vaguely seen from the hollow.Shen Wanyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she withdrew her gaze from looking at the inner room.

"Fourth Auntie's room is so elegantly furnished. Look at this green luan peony carved red sandalwood cabinet. I've never seen it before. It's so beautiful."

She stepped up and walked towards the red sandalwood cabinet carved by Qingluan Peony Group, but she was stopped by the fourth aunt who was leaning on the bed just two steps away.

"I asked the carpenter to build this green luan peony carved red sandalwood cabinet. If Missy wants to make a new one, I will ask the carpenter to build you a more elegant one and send it to you."
Fourth Yiniang winked at the big maid Bai Ling who was standing aside, she came back a bit late yesterday.I didn't have time to destroy everything, and I remembered the big gift in the second half of the night yesterday.A hint of ruthlessness flashed across her calm eyes, this Shen Wanyu is really not easy to deal with.He gave her such a big gift yesterday, but today he can stand in front of her as if nothing happened.

Bai Ling received the hint from his master, and quickly put on a smile on his face, walked up to Shen Wanyu and Qingluan peony carved red sandalwood cabinet seemingly inadvertently.

"Miss, please sit down."

Shen Wanyu stopped her footsteps, slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at the maid in front of her.She didn't seem to have this person in her memory, and almost all the maids, mothers-in-law and nuns in the Hou's mansion were born at home.Some unfamiliar ones were also the dowry maids of several aunts when they married in, and she also looked familiar.But the girl in front of me.
She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, her eyes glanced lightly at the red sandalwood cabinet carved with green luan peony balls behind Bai Ling.She went to the table and sat down, Bai Ling immediately approached cleverly and poured her a cup of tea.

Shen Wanyu picked up the cup and took a sip, she came here on a whim.So she wasn't worried at all that the tea would be tampered with, so she could drink it with peace of mind.

"Your name is Bailing?"

A faint sentence made Bai Ling who was standing by the side tremble inexplicably.She looked up at Fourth Aunt on the bed, and only opened her mouth when she saw her nodding to herself.

"Yes, the servant is Bailing."

"You seem to be a bit unfamiliar. When did you come to the mansion? How long have you been with Fourth Auntie? You look quite clever. With a clever maid like you serving Fourth Auntie, I can rest assured. "

The slender fingers rubbed against the edge of the cup, seemingly carelessly, but it made people feel an invisible pressure.

There was some cold sweat on Bai Ling's forehead, she didn't expect that she could remember so many servants and maidservants in the Hou Mansion.When Bai Ling was at a loss, Fourth Auntie's soft voice descended like the sound of heaven.

"Bai Ling is actually my niece from my natal family, because her parents passed away a while ago. There is no one to rely on. I greeted Lord Hou and he agreed, so I took her to my side. She also just arrived Before long, she has been serving in the house all the time, so the eldest lady is naturally unfamiliar with her."

Fourth Yiniang beckoned to Bai Ling, asking her to come to her side.His eyes are full of pity, like an elder who cares for the younger generation.

"It turns out that Bai Ling is the niece of Fourth Aunt, so how can you let her be your maid. It's nothing for us to raise another young lady in the Hou's mansion. We can't wrong Bai Ling."

Shen Wanyu looked at Bai Ling who was standing next to Fourth Aunt with surprise on her face, and a strange light flashed across her eyes quickly.With a friendly smile on her face, she stretched out her hand and pulled Bai Ling to her side.

"I think Bailing seems to be a little older than me. I will call you Sister Bailing from now on. The fourth aunt takes care of my mother so wholeheartedly. I can't wrong you. From now on, all your expenses will be shared with our Houfu. like my lady."

Bai Ling panicked because of Shen Wanyu's words, she quickly shook her head desperately: "Miss, this must not be done. How can Bai Ling be treated the same as Miss, Fourth Aunt is willing to take me in as a maid by her side, it is already the best for me. "

Before Bai Ling finished speaking, Shen Wanyu interrupted her with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, I still can't tell which is better to be a lady or a maid?"

After Shen Wanyu finished speaking, she looked at Fourth Aunt who was leaning on the bed with a calm expression.She hooked the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Si aunt, please persuade Bailing well. As long as you say a word, she will definitely not refuse again. I also mean it well, don't you want your niece to live a good life?" Some, do you have the heart to watch her become a servant? Although she is a big servant girl by your side, a servant girl is just a servant girl after all."

Fourth Aunt tightly clenched her hands under the quilt, there was something in Shen Wanyu's words.She breathed a sigh of relief, showing a warm smile.

"Although Bailing is my eldest maid in name, her food and clothing are not bad. I have thanked the eldest lady for her kindness. The so-called merit is not rewarded. I think Bailing thinks the same way, so it's better Don't bother Miss."

Shen Wanyu shook her head, frowned slightly and said in displeasure: "Why is it troublesome, fourth aunt, you usually don't fight for it. I think you are the best among these aunts. If there is anything I can do to help you now, I will Naturally, I won’t leave it alone. Well, it’s settled. I’ll go to my mother’s place in a while, and just talk to her about it.”

Shen Wanyu didn't give Si Yiniang a chance to refuse at all, she patted Bai Ling's cold hand.Then he stood up and looked at Ru Huan behind him.

"Ru Huan, let's go. Let's go to mother's place, don't keep her waiting."

Fourth Aunt gritted her teeth, and then a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Then please trouble Missy, and Bailing is quick to thank Missy."

Bai Ling's body was already a little stiff, and the cold sweat on his forehead grew more and more.There was an unnatural smile on her face, and her voice was trembling with no joy at all.

"Bai Bailing thanked the eldest lady."

"Hehe, don't be polite to me. From now on, I will be my sister. If anyone bullies you, tell me. I will definitely help you teach that person." Shen Wanyu had a different smile in her eyes, and then said: "Fourth aunt is now If you are injured, you should take care of it. If you need any medicine, go directly to the housekeeper."

Bai Ling nodded tremblingly, looked at her and Shen Wanyu smiled faintly.Turning around and taking Ru Huan to leave, she stopped when she walked to the curtain of the inner room.

"Fourth aunt, do you still like the gift I gave you?"

A sneer twitched at the corner of her mouth, and after dropping these words, she opened the curtain and walked out.The only answer to her was the sound of something falling to the ground from the inner room.

The two left Si Yiniang's yard and asked only when they walked to Ruhuan's back garden.

"Miss, why did you let Bai Ling become a young lady from a servant girl? She must have been brought in by the fourth aunt to help her. Now that you have lifted her into a young lady, you are helping the fourth aunt."

Shen Wanyu stopped, slightly raised her head to look at the blue sky.She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a charming smile bloomed.

"If a servant girl is promoted to be a young lady, the normal reaction is joy. But Bailing is terrified. The fear in her eyes is caused by the fourth aunt. If the fourth aunt really wants Bailing to become the young lady of the Hou family, I will Bai Ling will definitely be delighted with today's actions. It can be seen that in the fourth aunt's heart, she attaches great importance to the distinction between master and servant, and it should not be said that she attaches great importance to the distinction between superior and inferior."

Ru Huan was a little half-understood, she frowned.The young lady's words became more and more unpredictable, Shen Wanyu looked at Ru Huan's tangled face.She shook her head helplessly.

"Don't think about it, you will naturally know the reason for my actions today. Let's go to mother's place now."

Ru Huan glanced at Shen Wanyu resentfully, bit her lips and finally nodded.Shen Wanyu walked towards Yun Manrou's yard with strides, and she seemed to be in a good mood just by looking at her brisk steps.

Fourth Auntie's yard was surprisingly quiet, and Bai Ling stood at the side tremblingly.Carefully looking at the gloomy master on the bed, her nerves were tense.Even breathing is very light, afraid that one of his unintentional actions will anger the master.

"come over!"

A calm voice came from the bed, and Bai Ling's body trembled.Not daring to delay for a moment, she hurried over.

Fourth Aunt raised her head to look at Bai Ling who was standing beside her, her delicate features were very attractive.She narrowed her eyes slightly, and a ruthless look flashed in her eyes.Suddenly there was a sharp dagger in her hand, and the silver light flashed.

Bai Ling's face turned pale, and he bit his lips desperately to prevent himself from humming in pain.Dou Da's sweat slid from her forehead, and her eyes were full of horror and forbearance.

"Remember, even if you are promoted to be a young lady, don't forget your identity, you are still my subordinate. Who is your master, you should remember clearly for me."

Fourth Aunt's face was gloomy, and her eyes were filled with bloodthirsty light.Looking at the blood on the white arm that had been scratched by her, the dazzling red made her blood boil.The actions of his subordinates became fiercer and more brutal.

"Master. Son. Slaves. Dare not"

Bai Ling couldn't stand such inhuman torture, she begged weakly in a low voice.

The fourth aunt was brought back to her senses by this weak begging, and she looked a little dazed.Then he put down the dagger in his hand and waved his hand a little irritably.

"It's annoying to watch, let's go down."

Bai Ling lowered his head, silently turned and left the lunatic.
