Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 259

~ THE OVERBEARING AND ARROGANT MENG YANRAN ~ 

It was the first time she had gone to the East Courtyard after returning to the Su family. Mu Yunyao immediately called Mo Yu, the maid who was sent over by the Old Madam. Mo Yu was the eldest girl by the Old Madam’s side, has an outstanding appearance and a very gentle temperament. The Old Madam very much liked her. But later, inexplicably, the Old Madam drugged her and sold her out of the house. After that, she was unable to protect herself. After hearing this, she could only sigh and could not do anything else. 

Mo Yu walked up to Mu Yunyao and greeted with a thoughtful gesture, “Greetings, Young Miss.”

“Yes, I heard that the Young Miss of the Meng family came to be a guest. My Eldest Cousin invited me to the East Courtyard, but I’m not familiar with the road since I’ve just arrived. I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way.”

“How could I accept Miss’s words of annoyance? I’m truly here to serve you. Young Miss, please follow me.”

Mu Yunyao tidied up her dress and didn’t find anything out of place. She brought Jin Lan and Jin Qiao and followed Mo Yu out.

At this moment, in the East Courtyard’s small Lu Yi Pavillion, Meng Yanran was holding her cheek with one hand. She smiled and said, “I’ve heard that your house is not peaceful in these past two days.”

Su Yuyi smiled. On her incomparably beautiful face, this smile made her seem even more mysterious: “These two days, my aunt and Cousin Yunyao have returned. Since the residence has two more people, it will naturally be more lively.”

Meng Yanran pursed her lips and glared at Su Yuyi with her almond-shaped eyes, “Only because of you and aunty’s good temper. You didn’t know that the entire Capital is talking about how the people sent by the Su family can’t even move their luggage.”

“When has the Capital ever been at peace? Today’s rumors are about this family, and tomorrow’s are about that family. These rumors are just ordinary people’s conversation after dinner and only last for a day or two, so let them say what they want to say.”

“You’re good at everything, but your temper is a bit too soft. There’s an aunt here, I am not worried, but I heard that Mu Yunyao is not a simple person. Her name is extremely resounding in the entire Jiangnan, and she has also received rewards from the Emperor. You have to be careful. It won’t be long before you got bullied.”

Su Yuyi frowned slightly. She paused for a moment and then said, “That shouldn’t be the case. I met Cousin Yunyao yesterday, and she seems like she’s easy to get along with too.”

“What’s the use of looking at it? She set up the embroidery shop and the tea house in Jingling City, so she was used to greeting many people all day long. I didn’t know how much acting she could do, but who knew how many gaudy things she had in her stomach? You were raised by my aunt in the Capital, so you don’t know the dirty tricks in private.”

Su Yuyi looked troubled, “That shouldn’t be the case …”

Meng Yanran gave a cold harrumph. “I was just about to take a look at that guy who sold clothes today. What ability does she have?”

At the door, Mo Yu’s expression was so ugly, so she lowered her head. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao’s faces were filled with suppressed anger, while Mu Yunyao, who was at the side, had a smile plastered on her face. She was not the least bit displeased, “Miss, you … Are you still going in? “

As soon as they arrived, they heard Meng Yanran’s voice, and her words overheard clearly. However, the maid who should be guarding and look out at the door had disappeared without a trace.

Mu Yunyao chuckled. She understood Meng Yanran’s personality very well. After all, they had interacted with each other in her previous life. Back then, not long after she arrived at the Su family, Su Yuyi had also used this excuse to invite her to come here. At that time, she had only been here for a few days, and her body hadn’t fully recovered yet. She was so ignorant that she didn’t even know what was going on. When she arrived and saw the shiny floor in the hall, she had to be careful even with her feet.

Meng Yanran had a crafty personality. She stepped on the dirty ground and forced her to take off her shoes. She didn’t know why, but it just so happened that Su Qingwu had returned, and her mocking laughter had made her want to find a hole to hide inside.

The maid hurriedly walked over, and upon seeing Mu Yunyao, who was standing at the door, she quickly bent down to pay her respects. “Greetings, Miss Biao. This servant’s stomach really wasn’t feeling well just now, so I went down to relieve myself. Please forgive me, Young Miss.”

The maid’s voice rose to a slightly higher pitch. Su Yuyi, who had heard the voice, stood up and walked out: “Little Sister Yunyao, this maid has only been here for a few days and still unfamiliar with many of the rules. She actually made you wait outside. I’ll punish her when I back later.”

Mu Yunyao’s smile was dazzling, “It’s just a small matter, and we’ve just waited a little longer. Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable eating grains and cereals? Cousin shouldn’t punish her. it’s not easy being a servant, so please understand.”

“Swish! Heh heh.” A laugh sounded out. Meng Yanran looked up and down at Mu Yunyao, and her smile was full of sarcasm, “The Su family has always had clear rules, and you should get punished if you do something wrong. Although you are from the countryside, you shouldn’t treat yourself as a servant. If you still have to be considerate about everything, how can you still have the authority of a master? Why don’t you serve your maid instead?”

Meng Yanran carefully looked at Mu Yunyao. She originally wanted to find out something inappropriate from her, but after looking at her over and over again, she still couldn’t do it. The skirt she was wearing was a relatively common style nowadays: wide sleeves, long pendants, and fringes around the waist. It is difficult to wear such a skirt. But when Mu Yunyao wears it, her entire figure appeared slender and exquisite, fresh and delicate.

Does it seem like she was here to stir up trouble?

Mu Yunyao secretly pondered in her heart. Meng Yanran’s style of doing things had always domineering, and the people she came in contact with usually had pretty much the same status, so it wasn’t too apparent. However, it was her turn, so she might as well use this opportunity to establish her prestige.

Mu Yunyao nodded very solemnly, with a pure, innocent look in her eyes: “I just came here, so I didn’t know that the Su family rules were strict. Since it’s like this, I can’t let this maid off so easily. Cousin, according to the Su family’s rules, what should we do? Beat them to death? Or o be expelled from the residence?”

Su Yuyi was stunned, while Meng Yanran didn’t know how to react.

“Please have mercy, Young Miss! I know my wrongs, and I don’t dare to make a mistake again! Please have mercy on me! I don’t want to die, and I don’t want to be expelled!”

Meng Yanran’s willowy brows slanted inwards, and her brows furrowed tightly. She pointed at Mu Yunyao with a face filled with shock and anger, “Why are you so malicious?”

Mu Yunyao looked puzzled. “Wasn’t it Elder Sister Meng who just said that? As a master, you should have the authority of the master. Don’t think of yourself as a servant, and understand everything about your servant. Since I have the authority, then you will naturally be punished if you make a mistake?”

“Although it’s a punishment, she merely left for a while due to discomfort. Isn’t you cruel enough to kill people or drive them out of the house because she let you stand for a while longer?”

“Then, according to what Elder Sister Meng said, what should I do?”

“For such a small matter, you only need to punish her to kneeling for a while.”

Mu Yunyao nodded and looked at the kneeling maid. “Then kneel for a quarter of an hour. After all, Elder Sister Meng said there was a mistake, but you can’t go without punishment.”

The maid who escaped calamity quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude, “Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Miss Biao.” Just kneeling for a quarter of an hour was the same as not being punished!

Meng Yanran subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Her gaze landed on the maid who was deeply grateful to Mu Yunyao, and her eyes suddenly trembled. She originally wanted to hurt Mu Yunyao, but she did not expect to be misled by her words. Instead, she would appear to be overbearing and arrogant, allowing Mu Yunyao to take advantage of her and gain some leniency and magnanimity!
