Chapter 586: A Beautiful Woman

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Previously, some of the people in Yu Jianjia’s courtyard had been sent to the manor, and some had been sold. Hui Xiang was a child who became a personal maidservant and served a master.

Unless she made a huge mistake and was beaten to death, such a maidservant could not be sent away.

It wouldn’t be good if someone who had served her master personally revealed any secrets about her outside and damaged her reputation.

Hui Xiang would reject a maidservant like that.

In the past two years, Ai Ye had been the only one by Yu Jianjia’s side. Her grandmother had originally wanted to choose a suitable maidservant to give to Yu Jianjia.

It was Yu Jianjia who did not agree.

Her grandmother did not force her, so she sent more people to serve Yu

Jianjia.

It was not a big deal to take in a maidservant. As long as she pa.s.sed her grandmother, it would be an easy process.

Xia Tao mentioned An Shou Hall again. “Yesterday, in front of Matriarch, Third Miss embarra.s.sed Concubine Jiang and prevented her from interfering in the matters of her courtyard. She even mentioned Eldest Madam Yang. Not only did Concubine Jiang hold back her anger, but she also set up a banquet to welcome Third Miss home tonight.”

Yu Youyao leaned against the couch. “I haven’t been home for a long time, so I have to take the opportunity to establish my authority in the residence. It’s only logical to start with the household manager’s concubine.”

Her methods were quick, but Yu Jianjia did not have to do this.

Even though Yu Jianjia was recuperating in the manor, the family did not treat her badly. Now that she had returned home, the servants did not dare to be negligent.

Didn’t she see that Concubine Jiang was in a hurry to prepare a banquet for Yu Jianjia?

However, Yu Jianjia was cold by nature and thought too much. It wasn’t that she couldn’t see or feel how well others treated her. It was just that this was not in line with her interests, needs, and ambition. Due to her vanity, she would feel that others weren’t treating her well enough. She was the cla.s.sic type of person who would resent others for their kindness.

It wasn’t exactly accurate to call her an ingrate.

Yu Jianjia’s personality was like that. No matter what, she had to be calculative and try to take advantage of the situation. She was always scheming and this included her friendships.

She was like this to Madam Yang.

Whether it was an ingrate, a wolf, or a real villain, they were not as terrifying

as—

A hypocrite!

Yu Jianjia was such a person. She disguised herself perfectly at all times, but she had all kinds of thoughts and schemes behind her back. She was wearing a sheepskin, so others did not know that she was actually a wolf.

As she was thinking, Chun Xiao came over to report, “Third Miss is here. She’s waiting in the reception pavilion.”

Yu Youyao’s expression darkened. “Go and freshen up!’

After rubbing her head, her hair was already dry. Liu’er’s hands were skillful as

she combed her young miss’s hair into a Feixian bun, revealing her smooth forehead. The hair at the back of her head was also tied up with a hairpin. The ta.s.sel pendants on it swayed lightly, like a real person. She was beautiful and n.o.ble.

The word “extraordinary” was the best description.

Thanks to her biological mother, Madam Xie’s beauty, the number one beauty in the capital was indeed worthy of her reputation.

Even Yu Jianjia, who was conceited about her appearance, felt a little ashamed.

She subconsciously pinched her handkerchief and bowed respectfully to Yu Youyao. “h.e.l.lo, Big Sister.”

“I’ve made Third Sister wait for a long time. Sit down and talk!” Yu Youyao returned the greeting and saw a submissive maidservant in a dark blue sleeved shirt standing behind Yu Jianjia.

It should be Bai Ye that Xia Tao had mentioned.

Noticing her gaze, Yu Jianjia said, “This is Bai Ye. She’s my new maidservant. Bai Ye’s ancestral grandmother used to clean Grandmother’s house. Later, after the First and Second Mansions split up, the residence sent a group of older old maidservants over. Bai Ye’s ancestral grandmother is one of them.” Yu Youyao looked at Bai Ye again and said, “She’s a well-behaved girl.”

The servants who had signed a death contract were in the hands of the main family. They had basic loyalty to their masters. The children of the family would serve them for generations, so they were basically entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

The servants who could be released were all servants who had signed a living contract.

Bai Ye’s grandma probably did the same.

However, with Bai Ye’s situation, it was probably impossible for her to be promoted to a maidservant. There were other reasons.

Indeed!

Yu Jianjia changed the topic and said, “Coincidentally, Bai Ye’s family is in the Liu Village under the hot spring manor. Her parents have pa.s.sed away, and she depends on her ancestral grandmother. Her ancestral grandmother is old and her health isn’t good, so she asked Bai Ye to sign a death contract and work in the manor. Bai Ye is used to serving her ancestral grandmother and knows some pharmacology. She also knows how to take care of others.

Seventh Aunt saw that she was smart and taught her a little, so she placed her in my house to serve her. Yesterday, I brought Bai Ye to An Shou Hall to visit Grandmother. Grandmother was also very satisfied with Bai Ye.”

Hence, she naturally mentioned the maidservant.

Yu Youyao understood immediately.

Bai Ye’s ancestral grandmother had a master-servant relationship with the Yu Residence. She also had a clean family background. Coincidentally, the hot spring manor was in the Liu Residence, so it was a rare fate.

After signing the death contract, Bai Ye was proficient in pharmacology and knew how to take care of others. Seventh Aunt was also very satisfied with her.

She was the most suitable person to serve Yu Jianjia.

In the past two years, Yu Jianjia’s health has been improving. The people serving her must have contributed greatly.

Under such circ.u.mstances, it was only logical for Bai Ye to be her maidservant.

“It’s rare to meet a girl you like. It’s also because you’re fated with her.” Yu Youyao smiled faintly. Yu Jianjia had brought her to her to take a look.

No matter what Yu Jianjia did, no one could find fault with her.

Yu Jianjia turned to look at Bai Ye and instructed, ‘Greetings, Eldest Miss.”

Bai Ye quickly walked out from behind Third Miss and knelt on the ground with a thud. She kowtowed three times to Yu Youyao. ‘Greetings, Eldest Miss.”

Yu Youyao said calmly, “Third Miss has a gentle and kind personality. Shes never harsh on the servants. Your Master is kind. You have to thank her for her kindness and serve her with all your heart. Don’t bully her and be arrogant.”

After what had happened to Lan Zi, Hui Xiang, and the others, as the big sister, she naturally had to teach the new Bai Ye a lesson.

Bai Ye hurriedly said, “My ancestral grandmother’s health isn’t very good. It’s because Third Miss is kind-hearted and hired a doctor to treat my ancestral grandmother. Eldest Miss, don’t worry. I’ll definitely not let you down and serve you well.”

Yu Youyao nodded. ‘Get up!’

After Bai Ye kowtowed to thank her, she stood up and retreated behind Yu Jianjia.

Yu Jianjia’s gaze darkened, and even her lips curled up slightly.

The maidservant changed her tea. It was clear and yellow, glossy, and fragrant. Yu Jianjia liked tea, so she subconsciously picked up a teacup and took a sip.

The maidservant changed her tea. It was clear and yellow, glossy, and cinnamon. After it entered her throat, she immediately felt mellow and refreshed. After the tea entered her stomach, she savored it carefully, leaving a wisp of cinnamon fragrance between her lips and teeth.

Even when drinking warm tea, it did not have a hint of bitterness. Instead, it was very refreshing.

It was very special..
