Kong Zhi looked at Cai Ruo Mu and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Cai Ruomo just stared coldly at Niu Mei.
Niu Mei lowered her head and remained motionless.
Kong Zhi patted the snow on her head again and said to Xuanyuan Yu, "Hurry and help your young miss to the house to clean up."
Xuanyuan Yu promised.
Kong Zhi then said to Niu Mei, "Don't just stand there. Help your young lady back."
Niu Mei kept quiet for a while. He then walked over to Cai Ruo Mu under her murderous gaze. Feeling uneasy, he gently held Cai Ruo Mu's hand.
Cai Ruomeng hit him.
"Hey, you are all here!"
Xuanyuan Yu raised her head and realized that it was the Second Young Master, the Third Young Master.
Xuanyuan Yu was startled and hurriedly lowered her head.
Wang Guanli looked at Xuanyuan Yu and his heart skipped a beat as well.
The third young master walked in and smiled at Cai Ruo Mu. "What's wrong with this Miss Cai? Why is she dressed like this? Is she celebrating the first snow of the year?"
Hearing this, Cai Ruo Mu couldn't wait to find a hole to hide in. How could she let him see her in such a sorry state? He glared at Niu Mei again. That damned girl, he definitely wouldn't let her off when he got back.
Niu Mei couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably as she received the murderous gaze from Cai Ruo Mu. She knew very well what kind of method this young miss was, don't think that her words were pleasant to hear. Being together with her for a few years, if she didn't know what temper she had, she wouldn't have lived until today. Suddenly, he felt that the winter was not that cold anymore, because his heart was even colder.
Kong Zhi was still beautiful and said, "Second brother, is third brother going to where mother is?"
"Big brother, sister-in-law." The two of them shouted in unison.
"Yes, I just didn't expect to meet you here and see such a funny scene." As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
Cai Ruo Mu couldn't help glaring at him.
"Third Brother is still so fond of joking. You two maids better hurry and take Miss Cai to change her clothes."
"Yes." "No," replied Niu Mei from Xuanyuan Yu and walked back with Cai Ruomeng.
Looking at Xuanyuan Yu's departing figure, Wang Jianli could not help but feel mixed emotions in his heart.
Wang Shouyu was also looking at Xuanyuan Yu's figure. When he turned around and saw the look in Wang Jianli's eyes, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that his second brother —?
"Eldest sister-in-law, you don't need to help that woman. I don't know why, but I feel like it's very fake when I see her. It's very fake, so much so that I can pretend to be fake." Third Young Master scratched his head as he thought.
Kong Zhi couldn't help but laugh as well. "You … You don't know why, but every time Miss Cai came by, you would treat her with such disrespect …"
"It's not that I don't like her, but she's too fake." The third young master shook his head speechlessly.
"You don't have to care about him, he has never liked Cai Ruo Mu since he was young." Wang Shun Yu spoke without any warmth in his voice as he walked forward.
Wang Jianli also pursed his lips and walked forward.
Kong Zhi looked at their figures and pursed his lips. She clearly saw their expressions just now. It wasn't just Second Brother, even Shun Yu had feelings for that maid. He had never used that kind of gaze to look at anyone, including me.
The third young master looked at Kong Zhi with an uncomfortable expression before shaking his head coldly, "Sister-in-law, don't mind me."
Kong Zhi quickly regained his composure. "If you do mind, then what else is there to mind?" Where do you say that? "
The Third Young Master lowered his eyes as well. "I was overthinking it."
Cai Ruomeng was supported by Xuanyuan Yu and Niu Mei on her left and right until she couldn't see them anymore. Then, she opened them up with all her might and looked at them angrily, "Alright, you two. "You are the maids that I chose, and yet you treat me like this. How dare you! It seems that I will really have to teach you a lesson. Otherwise, you really wouldn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
Niu Mei kneeled down with a teary voice and said, "Miss, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I didn't know what happened just now, I was just pushed from the back and hit Miss. I really didn't mean it!"
Cai Ruomuo harrumphed coldly, "The maids of the palace are very well-mannered. "Who would push you for no reason?"
Niu Mei began to cry again, "I don't know who pushed me, but I was fine. I don't know who was the culprit. I purposely bumped into Miss." As he spoke, he looked towards Xuanyuan Yu, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Xuanyuan Yu lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes, unable to see her expression.
Cai Ruomo couldn't help but take a few extra glances at Xuanyuan Yu.
If she didn't speak now, wouldn't it feel like she was easy to bully? If he was accused wrongly now? Didn't he become a little white mouse? Yes, the best way now was to counterattack, counterattack, and counterattack. Xuanyuan Yu had done the same.
Xuanyuan Yu raised her head with clear eyes. "Yes, it was someone who pushed her just now."
When Niu Mei heard her words, her crying voice also became softer. She did not expect Ye Ci to answer.
Xuanyuan Yu said neither rushed nor slow, as she said, "I saw the young mistress' maidservants just now. "Niu Mei had purposely leaned against the eldest young master and even shook his hand. When she bumped into the young lady, she was prepared to pounce on the eldest young master, but the eldest young master dodged and later threw the young lady to the ground."
Niu Mei's face immediately flushed red. She clearly had not expected Xuanyuan Yu to say it so bluntly. She immediately became embarrassed, "Y-you're lying. You were the one who pushed me and insulted me."
"Hur hur. I'm talking nonsense, I'm not talking nonsense. You can ask the young master and see what the client thinks. " Since it's useless to endure it, I'll just beat you to death. Let's beat you up until you have no chance to turn the situation around.
Niu Mei panicked and tried to think of a way out, "Today you will be touring the garden with Eldest Young Master. Who knows if he will be helping you?"
Xuanyuan Yu laughed even more happily than before, "Heh, First Young Master, he is the Eldest Young Master of the clan and I am only a maid from the Cai Mansion. Don't tell me that you think the dignified Eldest Young Master of the Duke's Mansion will join hands with a young maid like me to bully a young maid like you? He said it again. Even if the eldest young master's words couldn't be trusted, could the maids behind the eldest young mistress not see it? "
Niu Mei's face turned pale. She was too concentrated on her battle qi that she forgot about the maidservants behind the eldest young mistress. If they were complaining, then what about him? Thinking about that, his face turned pale.
Seeing her dejected expression, Xuanyuan Yu's smile became even more wicked.
Looking at her, Cai Ruo Mu said indifferently, "Go back and change your clothes first!"
"Yes, miss." Both of them answered respectfully.
Returning to the house and looking at her reflection in the mirror, Cai Ruomu couldn't help but look at her delicate face. After a while, she slowly opened her mouth and asked, "Am I beautiful?"
Niu Mei, who had combed her hair for Cai Ruo Mu, was stunned. She smiled and said, "Of course I'm beautiful, Miss is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."
"Is that so?" Cai Ruomeng asked sarcastically.
"Yes, Miss is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Besides, we're outside the city, and Miss is the most famous one. How about that?" Niu Mei said innocently.
"Since I'm so beautiful, then all of you have grown wings and flown into the sky." With that, Cai Ruomeng stood up with the hairpin in her hand, and approached Ox-Plum with each step.
Niu Mei backed away in fear as she looked at the hairpin in Cai Ruomeng's hand.
Cai Ruo Mu approached her step by step. "What, you're scared? Why didn't I see you scared just now? Didn't you want to try to win the second young master's favor as well?"
"I don't dare, this servant doesn't dare!?" Niu Mei was almost crying. There was no way out now. She pressed her back against the wall and looked at the hairpin in front of her. She really didn't know if the Miss would be able to pull it off. After all these years, the number of maids that had been tormented by her were countless.
"You don't dare, but I see that you dare …" As he spoke, the corners of his eyes narrowed, and the bloodthirsty aura grew even stronger.
"Miss, this servant really doesn't dare. Today, I was pushed by little Jia Cai on purpose. This servant really didn't do it on purpose." As he spoke, tears began to flow down his face.
Cai Ruomeng's eyes moved when she heard the two words' Jiayi '. She? A crazed smile appeared on his face. "I won't let her off easy either. I won't let anyone who dares to try to harm a good brother get away easily."
Niu Mei was scared. She was truly scared. For many years, she had never seen this kind of crazy smile, one that could destroy everything, on a little miss.
Cai Ruomeng drew circles on her face with the hairpin, and said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't let her get away with it. I definitely won't!" With that, he fiercely stabbed the hairpin into her shoulder.
Niu Mei bit her lips to prevent herself from making a sound.
Cai Ruomeng looked at her with satisfaction, then threw the hairpin on the ground. "You'd better listen to me honestly and pack yourself up. That hairpin is yours now."
Niu Mei bit her lips. Her face was green, and her body was covered with sweat. Blood had already seeped out of his shoulder. However, he endured it and said, "Many thanks, Miss." As he spoke, he picked up the hairpin.
Xuanyuan Yu watched from outside the curtain. His eyes widened in shock, and he vanished into thin air.
Cai Ruomo walked out arrogantly, sneering at Xiajia who was standing outside watching the snowflakes. "What a great mood!" Anyone who didn't know would think that it was the daughter of that family. "
Xuanyuan Yu did not turn around.
Cai Ruomeng suddenly raised her hand, "Who do you think you are? "You are just a lowly servant girl, what right do you have to be arrogant in front of me? I can kill you with a single word, do you believe me?"
"I believe you." Xuanyuan Yu turned around and said affirmatively to her.
"My life is in Miss's hands. Miss wanted to pinch me to death, just like pinching an ant. I've never doubted myself, I've always been doing my best, I just want to survive."
"I know. "I know you want to survive. As long as you want to stay in the Cai Mansion, I know you have no ambition. You just want to survive." Cai Ruo Mu also said affirmatively.
Xuanyuan Yu puzzledly asked, "Then why did you —"
"Because you are not obedient enough, I want obedient servants. You shouldn't act on your own initiative. If I want you to live, you live. If I want you to die, you die. As for you, ever since I came to the manor, I felt that you had lost control of yourself. You are not the ugly girl that I am at my mercy. "
"I am. I always have been. I have never denied that my master was you. I beg you, please don't drive me away. " As she spoke, Xuanyuan Yu once again pulled her hand.
