Even the masters didn't dare to wear mourning clothes over their fancy clothes, but she, a little girl, dared to do so. It showed how badly she treated Madam Ming and Ning Xueyan. Anyone in the manor dared to bully her. People only knew that there were two eldest and second daughters in the Lord Protector's Manor, but they didn't know that there was a fifth daughter.
The two came over and put down the teapot and food basket in their hands. The old maid poured a cup of water. Qing Rui took it, squatted down and handed it to Ning Xueyan. She was a filial daughter. She had been kneeling all morning and hadn't even drunk a sip of water. But looking at the cold tea, she had no appetite.
"Miss, you must be hungry. Don't worry. It's good for your health to eat with your saliva." There were outsiders here. Qing Rui would still take Ning Xueyan's identity into consideration. Her words sounded very warm, but with the cold tea, it sounded extremely sarcastic.
Ning Xueyan glanced at her coldly and didn't take it. Then she looked at the dishes brought out by the old maid and found that there was no heat at all. She asked with a faint smile, "Is this for my health? You deliberately brought it in cold?"
The late autumn weather was already chilly, not to mention the gloomy weather today. Just standing there without moving already made one's hands and feet cold. Such a bowl of 'warm' water would probably freeze one's internal organs. The original body had always been weak and sick. If one were to eat such cold food often, even if one wasn't sick, one would still get sick.
Qing Rui didn't expect that the Fifth Young Lady, who had always been timid, would make trouble. She was stunned for a moment and raised her head to meet Ning Xueyan's dark eyes. She was inexplicably flustered, but immediately calmed down and smiled, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry? You're not in good health. The doctor told you not to eat overheated food.
You can't eat overheated food. But you can eat cold leftovers! What a group of snobbish and eloquent servants!
"Kneel!" Ning Xueyan frowned and said sharply.
Qing Rui was really shocked, but she wasn't afraid. She didn't kneel down and shouted her grievance, "Fifth Young Lady, what's wrong with you? Second Madam is gone. I know you're in a bad mood, but you can't vent your anger on me. Otherwise, how can we serve you?"
Hearing Qing Rui's complaint, the old woman following behind immediately laughed. She pointed to the three dishes and one soup on the side and said, "Miss, you are really angry today. It is your body that is not suitable for you to eat hot food. We did not deliberately neglect you."
The two of them echoed each other, saying that Ning Xueyan was looking for trouble.
The commotion was so loud that Ning Lingyun turned her head and put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand. With a disapproving expression on her face, she sat on the stool and watched the commotion with a smile.
Ning Xueyan looked around. The other maids and old women present all looked like they were watching a show. No one stood up to speak for Ning Xueyan. They even looked at Ning Xueyan with disdain. No wonder no one cared about Madam Ming's death. How many people in this mansion really treated them as their masters?
However, she was no longer the Ning Xueyan who was bullied by others!
A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. Without saying anything, Ning Xueyan raised her hand and gave Qing Rui a hard slap. Qing Rui couldn't react for a moment and fell to the ground in shock, unable to say a word.
"Who set the rule to let the master eat cold food?" Ning Xueyan's face was cold and she scolded in a stern voice.
Qing Rui was frightened by Ning Xueyan's momentum. She only felt that Ning Xueyan in front of her had an indescribable momentum. She covered her face and stared at her blankly, unable to react for a moment.
"Serve another set of food and go down to receive ten strokes!" Ning Xueyan frowned and said.
At this moment, Qing Rui finally regained her composure. Remembering that she was First Madam's servant, she immediately became bolder. Sitting up, she straightened her neck and said, "Young Lady said that if you want to change, you can change, and if you want to beat people, you can beat them. This servant just doesn't understand. Did Young Lady eat gunpowder today? Why are you acting like a torch? Second Madam just died, and you're already humiliating this servant like this. However, even if Young Lady wants this servant to die, you have to let this servant understand why you're punishing this servant.
She said the word "die", completely ignoring the fact that Madam Ming was still lying in the mourning hall and Ning Xueyan's heartache for losing her mother. She seemed frivolous and rude.
As soon as Qing Rui's voice fell, they heard a stern shout from the door, "What do you mean by die? Someone, take this lowly servant away and slap her 20 times."
Everyone turned around and saw Old Madam standing at the door of the mourning hall with a livid face. Qing Rui didn't expect Old Madam to appear at this time. She was so scared that she trembled and knelt down.
