Everyone was scared by her scolding, but they still didn't dare to move forward. Ye Yuning secretly heaved a sigh of relief and pinched Fei Qing's palm.
Fei Qing understood and moved away a few steps, saying in a clear voice: "The Third Miss has always been a kind and generous person, wouldn't it be better to follow her than to follow Eighth Miss?" While speaking, Fei Qing pretended to unwittingly flick her sleeves, revealing the gold and jade bracelet she was wearing on her wrist.
Sheep fat white jade inlaid between the hollow gold threads, dazzling. This bracelet was even prettier and more noble than Ye Yujiao's!
Ye Yujiao's eyes immediately turned red, her expression sinister and ugly. A maid actually dared to have jewelry that was better than hers!
"Slut! You must have stolen my hairpin! " Ye Yujiao arrogantly shouted and struck another palm towards Fei Qing. Fei Qing coldly glanced for a moment and her body slightly shook, easily dodging the attack.
"Eighth Miss, although this servant is a servant girl, she will not be framed by anyone." You said that this servant stole your hairpin, what evidence do you have? When have I seen you? When did he make his move? How can you tell if it's a servant or not? " Fei Qing was stunned by Fei Qing's spouting.
"I don't care when you saw it. If I say it's you, then it's you!" Ye Yujiao said arrogantly.
Ye Yuning saw that she was clearly trying to reason with him, smirked, revealed a look of disdain, and said majestically: "Since you've come to such a conclusion, then fine, let us go to Pingjing garden for Grandmother to judge! If you can't say a single word, then I'll let you see! "
If it was before, Ye Yujiao would perhaps still be slightly fearful, but now, she was completely confident and knew what the situation would be like. She laughed mockingly, then turned and walked towards Pingjing garden.
Inside the Pingjing garden, the Old Mistress had just woken up from her nap and the maidservants had already set up camp when she heard a loud ruckus from inside the room. The old mistress frowned, looking displeased. "What happened now?"
Due to the ruckus in the second chamber these few days, the old mistress was already exhausted. Nanny Jiang quickly stepped into the room and reported: "It's the third miss and the eighth miss. For some reason, there was a dispute, and they said it was for the old lady to decide."
"Second room again!" The old man was so angry that the veins on his temples bulged, and his ruddy complexion turned ashen.
Nanny Jiang looked at the old lady's expression and sighed in her heart. However, she lowered his head and pretended not to see it. If the madame had dealt with the eighth young mistress impartially, the mother and daughter would not have been so arrogant and fearless.
Nanny Jiang naturally did not dare to say this out loud, and could only say it tactfully: "Third Young Miss has been staying in the Fragrant Garden recently, and she would occasionally go out to visit First Wife's dowry shop. I don't know why eighth young miss had a quarrel with her. "
The old mistress scoffed coldly. "You're looking for trouble!" You don't find my old bones hard enough, do you? It's just a small matter and you're bothering me! " Smacking the table, the Countess straightened up, scaring the maidservant behind her. With a flick of her hand, she tore off a silver thread.
"Useless thing!" The madame turned around and slapped the maidservant.
The servant girl dropped to her knees and did not dare to cry, much less touch her face as she begged for mercy with trembling hands. The old mistress was annoyed and chased him out with a wave of her hand.
Nanny Jiang saw that and could not help but think to herself, the old lady's temper had been getting worse recently, and the second house was indeed restless.
Since there was no one else in the room, Nanny Jiang could only step forward and help the Old Mistress tidy her hair up.
He combed his Eight Treasures bun, put on the purple embroidery Ling Xiao Hua wipe over his forehead, and then put in the hairpin. The old lady looked at it carefully in the bronze mirror, then nodded her head, and supported Nanny Jiang's hand as they walked out.
Outside, the servants stood on both sides, bowing their heads, Ye Yuning and Ye Yujiao faced off against each other.
"What are you saying! To think you two are even the young miss of Ye's Mansion. Is this how the people beside you teach you two? " The old mistress scolded him right away, right and wrong.
Ye Yuning glanced at the old lady, then closed her eyes and blessed her.
"Yu Ning pays her respects to Grandmother. Originally, she didn't want to disturb Grandmother's rest today, but Eighth Sister had barged into the Fragrant Garden without reason, claiming that Yu Ning's servant had stolen her things and was searching her house. Yu Ning really couldn't do anything about it, which was why she had no choice but to cause trouble at Grandmother's place. "
Hearing this, the old mistress raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Yujiao: "Is what your third young mistress said true?"
Ye Yujiao was not afraid of Ye Yuning complaining at all, she snorted: "Those people around Third Sis are not clean, I just want to retrieve my own thing."
Ye Yuning's mouth hooked up, and revealed a sarcastic smile, "If you touched my servant, it would be so spicy. Luckily Li's Mansion was willing to marry her, otherwise, Eighth Sister would not be able to marry so easily!"
"You! So what? "He's just a servant. As the master of the house, I'll teach him a lesson. Who dares to say no?!" Ye Yujiao said angrily.
"Do you really think I need you to teach the people in my room a lesson? Moreover, Fei Qing is not Ye's Mansion's servant, what qualifications do you have? " Ye Yuning spoke slowly, but his words were still logical.
Fei Qing stood behind her, her beautiful face had a distinct red mark.
Ye Yuning was rarely this angry in front of others, if not for Ye Yujiao being too excessive this time, she would not have caused this to happen. She knew very well that the madame could be as peaceful as she was last time.
As expected, the old mistress did not utter a word as she listened to their argument. Her left hand played with a string of buddhist beads, her expression indifferent.
It was true that the old lady was very annoyed with Concubine Qiao and Ye Yujiao, but when she thought of Qiao Yinkun, she suppressed her annoyance.
Just as Ye Yuning and Ye Yujiao were making a ruckus, Lady Wen and Concubine Qiao hurried over after hearing the news. After hearing that Ye Yuning had not lost out, Lady Wen patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Concubine Qiao did not want to be outdone, so she spoke up for her daughter: "Third Young Miss, you sure brought people together, isn't it just a maid? "Why bother the madame with such a small matter?"
Ye Yuning was disgusted when she saw it, and mocked: "Isn't it too frivolous for Concubine Qiao to dress this way to see the old lady?"
Concubine Qiao glanced at it, and indeed saw a flash of disgust in the old lady's eyes. But she didn't seem to care at all. She pressed down on her hair, and her smile was especially charming.
"Third Miss, I'm your elder after all, so I'll give you a few pointers today." The Eighth Miss is your little sister, so you should let her be. I think it's better to let that servant girl kneel down and apologize to the Eighth Miss. Concubine Qiao acted like he was magnanimous, but the words that came out of his mouth made Ye Yuning's heart burn with anger.
But without waiting for her to retaliate, Lady Wen suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Concubine Qiao, how dare you! You're a concubine, how dare you claim to be Yu Ning's elder? Is this how your Qiao family teaches their children? No wonder Yujiao's actions are like this, it's because she's affected by your concubine. The Qiao Family does not care about the seniors being bullied, but this is the Ye's Mansion! "
