Rebirth Of Revengeful Legitimate Daughter

Chapters 18 - 18

It looked like she was completely unaware of the affairs of the world, but the truth was that the Old Madam's mind was clear, no one could escape her sight, Ye Yuning did not want to lower himself to please the Old Madam, but he still had to be on guard.

With that in mind, Ye Yuning closed the book and turned to ask: "Are there any movements over there?"

Fei Qing nodded her head: "Just now, the two sect's wives came over. I took that little girl, Ye Xiao, back with Concubine Su."

Ye Yuning's eyes lit up, she then placed the incense down and stood up: Hurry up and help me change, let's go over to take a look!

The servant girl changed into a pea-green coloured peach-fitting jacket dress and put on a pink and white brocade dress. After changing her Jade Orchid Steps into a butterfly love flower golden hairpin, she brought Fei Qing out the door by herself.

Amongst Ye Shenghe's three concubines, Concubine Su was the youngest and most favored, thus she lived the closest to the main house. At that moment, Concubine Su's small courtyard was completely silent, only the sound of the wind blowing through the willow leaves on the treetops could be heard. Ye Yuning and Ye Yuning quietly entered the courtyard without disturbing anyone.

Inside the house, Concubine Su and Aunt Liu sat on both sides of the table, while the servant girl, Xiao Liu, knelt down in front of the hall.

"Why were you thrown out?" Aunt Liu was the first to speak.

A trace of resentment flashed across Little Leaf's eyes: "It was a girl called Xiang Er who framed me."

"Xiang Er?" Concubine Su and Aunt Liu looked at each other.

"Xiang Er belongs to the old lady. She was assigned to stay in the same room with the servant a few days ago. Auntie, you have to avenge this servant! "If I am thrown out like this, I won't be able to live any longer!"

Concubine Su did not mind Lil 'Ye's cry at all. She pouted and ordered his serving maid to take her away, then started to whisper to Aunt Liu.

"Lil 'Ye, this servant is always smart, how could she be kicked out? Could it be that Ye Yuning that brat noticed? "

Aunt Liu frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "No, it's not like you don't know what kind of person that girl is. How could she pay attention to such small matters? It should be just as what Lil 'Ye said, that the servant called Xiang Er set her up. "

"That's true, Ye Yuning and her mother are both as gentle as she is, there's definitely no way they would have such thoughts." Concubine Su raised her eyebrows, her tone full of disdain.

"She's merely a wet behind the ears little girl. If we join hands, do we have to be afraid of her?" Aunt Liu snorted, "The most important thing right now is, without Lil 'Ye, there's no way to find out what happened in Ye Yuning's courtyard. How do we investigate Lady Wen's inheritance?"

The matter regarding Lady Wen's inheritance was spread like wildfire. If not for the Old Master secretly ordering people to cover it up, Lady Wen's days would have been even worse.

Aunt Liu and Concubine Su had long coveted for Lady Wen's inheritance and thus joined hands. Aunt Liu also came to the main room everyday and tried every means to get on good terms with Lady Wen. Even her daughter, Ye Yuying, did the same. In her previous life, Ye Yuning had been tricked by the mother and daughter pair, which was why she ended up like that.

"It would be inconvenient to insert more servants here. I think it would be better to bribe the maidservants by her side." A plan formed in Concubine Su's mind.

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up as the two began to discuss who to pick.

"Forget about the two maids Fei Xiu and Fei Qing, these two were sent by the Li family. The indenture contract is over there too, they can't be used by us."

"Among the second tier servant girls, Bai Lan is quite active, we can give it a try." The two of them whispered to each other, and soon, they had an agreement.

What they did not know, was that all of these words had landed exactly in Ye Yuning's ears. Outside the house, after Ye Yuning heard what the two had said, a look of understanding flashed past her eyes.

Her guess was not wrong, the target of the two was Bai Lan. She did not waste her efforts to beat Bai Lan up! If it was before, Bai Lan would definitely have been bribed by the two of them, but now it was impossible. Ye Yuning made up his mind, and indicated for Fei Qing to bring him away.

Stepping out of the small garden, Fei Qing was extremely furious: Young miss, we cannot allow them to scheme like this!

Ye Yuning raised her head, and smiled: "Your young miss is not someone who can be squashed by others! Didn't they plan to bribe Bai Lan? So let's just go with the plan! "

Ye Yuning did not explain but continued to speak, "I didn't know that you actually knew martial arts, Fei Qing. Just now, we were able to enter without alerting anyone. "

Fei Qing scratched her face and said bashfully: "This servant's strength was great. After entering Li's Mansion, I learnt some fist and foot techniques, and was then sent by Mrs. Haitang to Miss's side."

Ye Yuning immediately understood. She had always wondered why Fei Qing, with her straightforward personality, would not be as calm as Fei Xiu, why did his foster mother allow her to serve him?

Her foster mother thought carefully, afraid that any mishaps would happen to her. This sense of camaraderie caused Ye Yuning's eyes to moisten.

How stupid had she been in her previous life to ignore them and instead get closer to those wolf-ambitious aunt Liu?

Ye Yuning took a deep breath, and decided to send a letter to his foster mother after he returned. No matter what, she would not disappoint anyone who truly cared for her in this life.

Be it Ye's Mansion, her parents, and the Fei Xiu and Fei Qing by her side, she would protect them all, and would not allow anyone to hurt them! Thinking about it, Ye Yuning's eyes flashed, and he took a deep breath.

Returning to the small courtyard, Fei Xiu brought along Bai Lan who had already washed up and stood outside the door of the inner room, waiting.

Ye Yuning shot a glance at Bai Lan, and saw that her expression had returned to normal, her eyes were sparkling with a different look, as if she understood the situation. It seemed that Fei Xiu had already told her about the situation.

"Bai Lan, follow me in. Fei Qing, watch the door. Fei Qing nodded her head vigorously, then stood outside the door like a door god.

leaned on the imperial concubine's bench, holding a blue and white porcelain cup, and took a sip of the honey water. The cold honey water had dispelled the heat, causing Ye Yuning's brows to loosen slightly as he looked at Bai Lan.

"Fei Xiu should have told you already, I have something that I need you to do." Ye Yuning started to speak with an unyielding tone that could not be changed.

Bai Lan was not used to Ye Yuning being unfamiliar with him, but when she heard Fei Xiu's words, she immediately knelt down: "This servant will listen to young miss's orders, I will not refuse to go through fire and water no matter what!"

Ye Yuning nodded slightly, extremely satisfied with her attitude. Of course she was also clear that Bai Lan's words were not sincerely meant for her, but because she was forced to add in Fei Xiu's enticement.

But it was enough for her.

"In a few days, Concubine Su or Aunt Liu will come looking for you secretly. At that time, no matter what they say, you will both agree to it and report back to me later."

Bai Lan did not hesitate and nodded.

Ye Yuning knew that she must have had some doubts, but she did not explain them. This golden hairpin was something that Lady Wen had ordered someone to create for her. The golden silk threads were extremely thin, sketching out a life-like butterfly that stood on a peony carved from Red Agate.

"As long as you complete this task, I'll give you this golden hairpin." Ye Yuning squinted his eyes and laughed.

Bai Lan stared at the Flower Butterfly hairpin, a greedy look flashed past her eyes.

There was no woman who didn't like such exquisite jewelry.

This golden hairpin was extremely exquisite, even within Ye Yuning's makeup box. Normal young ladies of the Shangguan family would find it difficult to own it, let alone a servant like Bai Lan.
