"Yes, Eldest Miss." Qing Dai slowly raised her head. Her eyes were red, but she avoided her gaze.
Lian Si Yue put down the book and asked, "What happened to your hand?"
Qing Dai immediately covered her injured hand with her sleeve, and said: "No, nothing, it was Servant that accidentally fell down, it's nothing."
Jiang Xiang could not hold it in and stepped forward, "Sister Qing Dai, we were all bullied to this extent, why are you still hiding things from Eldest Miss? If you won't tell me, I'll tell you. Eldest Miss, Big Sister Qing Dai was beaten up by Second Miss, yesterday we found out that there were termites crawling around the corners of Purple Cloud Academy, and we were afraid that if we accidentally bit Eldest Miss, we would accidentally bite her, so today, we went to look for the warehouse to get some Ant Extinguishing Medicine, but who knew that Second Miss would say that Big Sister Qing Dai was disrespectful to her, and hit her …. "
Qing Dai immediately pulled Jiang Xiang back and stopped him, "Jiang Xiang, don't say such annoying things in front of Eldest Miss. Eldest Miss, it's fine, I can endure it. "
Lian Si Yue asked, "Why must you endure it? I've been bullied to this extent. "
Lian Si Yue nodded her head slightly, an imperceptible look of approval could be seen in her eyes, and she said to Jiang Xiang, "You can tell me what the servant of Second Miss said. There is no need to hide it from her."
"Yes." With Lian Si Yue's permission, Jiang Xiang did not care anymore, "Second Miss said that although she was punished to the ground, she is still pure and upright, not like Eldest Miss … After doing such a shameful thing, even the Old Madame is not willing to see you.
When Big Sister Qing Dai said that the Eldest Miss was innocent, the Second Miss immediately became angry, saying that Big Sister Qing Dai actually dared to give her face, so she ordered someone to pull Big Sister Qing Dai away and have the Several maidservants point at her hands again and again, causing her to be injured like this.
Lian Si Yue clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and said coldly, "She's taking her revenge."
"Not only that, two days ago, when Servant went to wash Eldest Miss's face, he was also pushed away by someone from the Second Miss. That person even said that Servant had deliberately wet her shoes, and had even slapped me once." Jiang Xiang covered her face and said, "Eldest Miss, in fact, ever since we came to the Purple Cloud Academy Courtyard, I have always been bullied both publicly and secretly. Why does Eldest Miss have to endure this alone?
"Looks like it's time." Lian Si Yue suddenly stood up and said, a black light floated in her eyes, the light emitted a faint sense of danger, as though whoever touched it, would die for sure.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiang's heart suddenly shivered.
"You have all seen my situation in the Prime Minister's Palace. You have also suffered a lot these days."
Jiang Xiang said, "We can endure it, but, we will be angry at Eldest Miss."
"Alright, now, listen clearly to every word that I am about to say to you: if I cannot be proud, you will suffer as well. Today, I will ask you a question, would you be willing to sit on the same boat as me?"
"Servant is willing to follow Eldest Miss." The two of them spoke at the same time.
"Alright." She looked at the two servants, and said, "If you two dare to place your hands on the flames and not get burned down, then it means that what you two said was true. If you burn your hands, then you two will have two uses, and this way, I won't force you two, but tomorrow, I'll find a reason to send you two back to Yao City. When I left, I had already discussed it with the Chiang, and the two of you can return to Su Family at any time."
Qing Dai said, "Since Servant has followed me here, I have no intention of abandoning you. Without hesitation, she raised both his hands up to the candle flame. Seeing that the flame was about to engulf her scarred hands, Lian Si Yue blocked her hand and asked Jiang Xiang — —
"Servant, Servant …" Jiang Xiang seemed to hesitate. She closed his eyes and raised her hands, trembling, as he slowly approached the candle flame. When the flame was about to jump to her fingertips, a burst of heat hit her and she quickly retracted her hands.
After a moment, he clenched his teeth and once again reached out his hand.
Suddenly, she kneeled to the ground with a plop, kowtowing while crying and apologizing to Lian Si Yue, "Eldest Miss will atone for her sins, Servant and Big Sister Ding Xiang grumbled a few times yesterday, and said that I followed the wrong person, saying that Eldest Miss was clearly a direct descendent, yet she is so weak, causing us to suffer as well. Servant will never dare to do it again, never again."
Lian Si Yue placed the candle flame back onto the table, and looked at her coldly, saying, "If you are unwilling, I will let you go. If you decide to stay, you must not have any ill intentions towards me. It's good to be smart and smart in this deep courtyard, but the word I like most is loyalty. "
In fact, Lian Si Yue had already sensed that Jiang Xiang had an idea, and was using this opportunity to teach her a lesson.
"Yes, Eldest Miss has learnt his lesson. Servant will remember it." Jiang Xiang was scared to the point that she broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, this Eldest Miss is truly an unfathomable person, she had nothing to do these past few days, as though she was at peace with the world.
"Jiang Xiang, go and call Ding Xiang over. Qing Dai, bring me the jade that my father gifted me." Lian Si Yue already had a plan in her heart, so she instructed.
"Yes." Qing Dai turned around to go get the jade. With fear still in her heart, Jiang Xiang walked out to call Ding Xiang.
She played with it, she remembered that this piece of jade was given to her by Lian Yan Qing on her eighth birthday, and was worth a lot. At that time, she was still the daughter he valued the most, and her mother was not yet out of favour, but on her eighth birthday, her fate quietly underwent a huge change.
Lian Si Yue secretly held onto the jade, her eyes that were as deep as a black hole slowly revealed a cold aura.
Not long later, Ding Xiang came in, she walked to her side and said: "Eldest Miss, are you looking for Servant?"
"Yes." Ding Xiang took the ivory comb from Qing Dai's hands, walked to Lian Si Yue's side and started to comb her hair.
Lian Si Yue closed her eyes and did not speak the entire time. Standing by her side, Qing Dai and Jiang Xiang could not help but feel nervous, cold sweat trickling down her back. The two of them knew that Eldest Miss was about to make her move, but they did not know what she would do.
"Put this hairpin in your bun." Just then, Lian Si Yue took out a hairpin from the box and handed it over to Ding Xiang.
