Chapter 16: Burns
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Second Aunt is right. The eldest young mistress did not show up to serve tea last night, and not today either. Is she embarrassed to meet us, or is she looking down on us?”
The woman in red asked sarcastically as she looked around and she saw Ah Bi standing beside her.
“Oh, Ah Bi, Ah Yu doesn’t seem to see us. Can you not see us as well? We’ve been sitting here for a long time, why haven’t you poured us any tea?”
Ah Bi quickly apologized. “Yes, please wait a moment, please wait a moment.”
She turned around to go to the pantry, but the middle-aged woman stopped her.
She glared at Ah Yu from the corner of her eyes. “Ah Bi, why did the family call for a doctor last night?”
Ah Bi lowered her head timidly. Sister Yu had not answered the question, so of course she would not either. “I– I don’t know. I was helping out in the foyer yesterday–”
Pa!
The woman in the red Chanel suit suddenly stood up and slapped Ah Bi across the face.
“Second Aunt asked you a question, you should answer it. Why do you have to look at Ah Yu’s face? Are you not able to tell who is the master of this family?”
“Miss! Please have some self-respect!” Sister Yu picked Ah Bi up and glowered at the violent woman.
Ah Bi covered her face and did not even dare to cry. How could she risk provoking the fiery temper of the miss any further? (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com
“Are you here to see me?” A clear and melodious voice sounded behind the two workers.
Qin Yu strutted out with a tray in one hand and a teapot in the other. She displayed herself in front of everyone with a smile on her face.
The women, other than the middle-aged woman called ‘Second Aunt’, immediately rose from the sofa. Although Second Aunt did not stand along with them, she couldn’t help but to straighten her posture at this sudden appearance.
Qin Yu was not taken aback by the surprise in their eyes. Her face had already brought Shi Xiao’s wrath and jealousy upon her. They were all women, so she completely understood the reactions of the ladies in front of her.
“Are you all here to see me?” she said, grinning charmingly at the crowd.
There was no place in this world that was peaceful. This group of pampered women had nothing to do but bully people for fun.
Seeing that no one was saying a single word, she turned to look at Ah Bi and exclaimed, “Ah! Ah Bi, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you?”
Before Ah Bi could react, Qin Yu conveniently tossed away the tray and tea kettle from her hands, reaching out to pull Ah Bi’s hand.
“Let me see, quickly!”
The floor of the living room was glossed with water-milled marble. The glass tea set on the tray fell to the ground and immediately shattered into pieces. Most importantly, the glass kettle had been filled with boiling water that Qin Yu had just poured in.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Screams reverberated through the room.
The lady in her thirties was the closest to Qin Yu, so the teapot exploded right under her feet. The hot water and the glass shards greeted her recklessly, and she was soon screeching in response.
Qin Yu did not bother about Ah Bi’s seemingly shocked face and fretted, “Ah! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. Sister Yu, hurry and call for a doctor, the same one as yesterday!”
Sister Yu was stunned by the unfolding situation.
“You! You did this on purpose!” howled the woman in red?on the sofa as she hugged her leg in pain. f(r)eewebnovel.com
Qin Yu blinked her big eyes twice, tears falling.
“I didn’t do it on purpose, I was just asking if you guys came to look for me. If that was your intention, why did you strike my servant? You hit my maid, and my heart ached for her, so I dropped the pot. Why were you even so close to me?”
She felt even more wronged than she was hurt.
The other maids had already crowded over. The housekeeper ordered everyone to get ice packs and call for a doctor. It was a complete mess.
“You! Are you Ning Chen’s wife?” snapped the second aunt, who was so furious that her words were incoherent.
Qin Yu nodded with tears streaming down her face. “Yes! I was born to be his, and I will be with his ghost when I die!”
Everyone seemed to have forgotten to howl in pain. What the hell was this girl saying?
Sister Yu stood beside Qin Yu and introduced her.
“Young Mistress, this is the second madam of this household, Second Aunt.”
Qin Yu bowed to her. “Hello, Second Aunt!”
Sister Yu had only praise for her young mistress in her heart. Qin Yu’s reactions were gutsy, and at this point, she had essentially choked the second madam to death with her outrageous actions.
She then pointed at the person with the injured feet and said, “This is your eldest cousin.”
“Hello, eldest cousin!” greeted Qin Yu as she bowed with perfect poise.
Sister Yu continued introducing everyone to her. Surprisingly, she realized that her young mistress only bowed to people who were older than her. To those who called her ‘Younger Sister’, she only addressed them instead of bowing.
This young mistress was very clear-headed with her standing in this family.
Then, she thought about how she had greeted all the servants in the morning with a bow.
Had she, by any chance, drawn a clear line between them?
