Chapter 27

27 Punished? WHO? (II)

Yang Ning scoffed at the overconfidence and the audacity of the woman. However, she was not even surprised to see the way she is speaking to her Master.

Yang Ning might be the eldest lady of the Yang Household, in reality, she does not hold any position in the household.

Under the rule of Chang Ah, all the servants do as they were told by her, The Mistress, meanwhile, ignores the existence of the eldest lady of the household.

The other servants might not be daring enough, but since Xing Bao is the Head Maid of the household and the personal maid of Chang Ah, she can do whatever she wants and no one will be able to point a finger at her.

NOT EVEN YANG NING.

That’s why Xing Bao never bothers to greet Yang Ning and many times orders Xiaowei around as if she is her assistant maid and not Yang Ning’s maid and makes her do her personal chores.

But too bad! She is not Yang Ning anymore but Fang Li in Yang Ning’s body.

And Fang Li does not take shit from anyone. Not from a maid at the least who is supposed to serve her and not disrespect her.

Yang Ning’s smile slowly disappeared as she looked at Xing Bao with a sharp look in her eyes and said, ” Do you think I am lying to you? And....why would I do that? Hmm?”

.....

” Do you think I am scared of you? Who do you think you are?” She scoffed while showing the same intimidating gaze to Xing Bao that she showed to Princess Liu at the banquet.

Xing Bao was speechless and bewildered when Yang Ning confronted her and stared straight into her eyes with her intimidating gaze.

Her gaze was so intimidating and challenging that eventually she was forced to lower her eyes.

Xing Bao clenched her teeth and wondered what had suddenly happened to Young Miss. Yang Ning has never once looked straight into her eyes, forget about speaking back to her or glaring at her.

She was never that kind of girl. That’s why it was so easy to tackle her all these years.

No matter how she treated her, Yang Ning never complained about it once to the Lord as she did not want to come out as a whiny and weak girl in front of her father. She was afraid that if she complained about Chang Ah or her maid, her father would get angry at her and would never talk to her.

All these years, the only thing Yang Ning wanted was her father’s acknowledgment and his love and nothing else. Then how can a well-mannered girl like her change suddenly in a night and speak unmannerly to her?

” Miss, You cannot do that. I am the Head-Maid of the Household. You cannot disrespect me like that.” Xing Bao said authoritatively as she raised her head again and stared straight into Yang Ning’s eyes.

If Yang Ning wanted to try her luck and fight against her, then she has no choice as well but to face her head on.

‘What can this weak girl do to her anyway? She is too powerless and weak to stand against her.’ Xing Bao thought inwardly.

In the end, the rule of Chang Ah will pertain in the household and Yang Ning will receive a punishment, as she always does.

If she is that eager to take her maid’s blame and get punished, then it’s her choice. She has already warned her many times and now she will not back out from their battle either.

Xiaowei was panicking to see the tension between the two people and could see how serious Senior Maid was about her words.

She glanced at Yang Ning and pleaded in a low voice, ” Miss, Please! I am ready to take the punishment. It’s my fault from the start, so I deserve to be punished. You don’t need to save me from anything.”

“Why would you be punished when you did nothing wrong?” Yang Ning shouted at Xiaowei loudly so that Xing Bao could hear her words clearly.

” Punishments should be given to those who deserve to be punished. And you did nothing wrong.” Yang Ning announced while staring at Xing Bao who was smirking, wondering what this stupid girl can do to save her maid.

“That’s right. Punishments should be given to those who deserve to be punished. Pardon me for my rudeness My lady, but your maid will be punished for attacking me from behind with a flower vase. If you try to protect her, you might get hurt by the flame as well.” Xing Bao said, giving Yang Ning one last warning before taking action.

Yang Ning smiled at her and said, ” Didn’t you say that the Lord has asked for me? Let’s continue this conversation in his study room then.”

” Miss.....” Xiaowei looked at Yang Ning worriedly. If Lord finds out about how Yang Ning threw a vase at the senior maid, she might get punished severely. He must be already angry about the incident that happened in the morning before the banquet. What if he punished her harshly?

Xing Bao nodded and said, ” If that’s what you want, I will happily oblige to your request. Then...I’ll take my leave.” She snickered and nodded at her before turning around and leaving the room.

She did not even bother to show Yang Ning her courtesy before leaving the room. Why will she do that to her?

Because in the end, Yang Ning will be punished and will be taught a harsh lesson. If this incident were to be taken to Lord Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah, there is no way that her Mistress will allow her to be humiliated in front of everyone.

In the end, Yang Ning will take the fall and will realize her non-existent worth in this household.
