Phi-Fic Chapter 149 The Maid Bound by Rules
Chapter 149 The Maid Bound by Rules
Two little girls standing nearby were staring intently ahead, their faces full of excitement.
The little girl named Qingmiao was particularly lively and energetic. She laughed so hard she almost fell over, bending over as if she was about to burst out laughing: "Miss, you're amazing! How did you guess that the Prime Minister would let it go so quickly? But... will he secretly take revenge on us this time?"
What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener. Qingmiao's casual remark caused a sense of fear to rise in Qinghe's heart.
Actually, Qinghe wasn't afraid of getting hurt herself; she was truly worried about the Madam and her young mistress. At that moment, her worried gaze fell directly on Yun Juan.
Yun Juan naturally sensed the concern and worry emanating from the person beside her.
This feeling was so familiar to her, just like those moments in modern times when she fought side by side with her friends and cared for each other.
So she smiled slightly and comforted them, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way, what's there to be afraid of? Don't you trust me yet? Let me tell you, I'm a demon who crawled out of the depths of hell, and I feed on evil people. Anyone who dares to act recklessly in front of me, hmph, I'll skin them alive and tear them apart, and let them taste my power!"
Although Yun Juan's words sounded quite frightening, they did not frighten the two loyal young girls in front of her at all.
On the contrary, they felt that the young lady appeared even more heroic and admirable at this moment.
"As for why Yun Ting would let this go so easily today? Hmph~" Yun Juan snorted coldly, her voice carrying a chill that sent shivers down one's spine.
At the same time, a highly sarcastic smile appeared on her lips, a smile that seemed to contain endless contempt and disdain.
Qingmiao watched her young mistress cautiously. Her beautiful face was now covered with frost, making people afraid to approach her easily.
Qingmiao smacked her lips, but didn't dare say anything. She just stood there quietly, listening to Yun Quan's next analysis.
"Yun Ting is a selfish person. Selfishness has become a habit for him. In his eyes, no one can stop him from pursuing his career. As the saying goes, 'If someone gets in his way, he will kill them; if someone gets in his way, he will kill them!' Anyone who gets in his way, no matter who they are, will be eliminated without hesitation. And what he values most is always his own interests! Even sacrificing his dearest daughter is nothing more than a common occurrence for him."
At this point, Yun Juan narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.
Clearly, she had an extremely thorough understanding of Yun Ting.
Then she continued, "Yun Rong is still useful to him now."
After all, Yunrong was his beloved legitimate daughter, whom he had carefully raised and nurtured, and she was also a renowned talented woman.
Mention the name 'Yunrong' and everyone in Kyoto will know it.
In this way, Yun Rong naturally became a trump card in Yun Ting's hands, a stepping stone that could help him unite with the princes.
It would be such a pity to let Yunrong die in the power struggles in the backyard.
After all, she hasn't yet realized her full potential!
So how could he so easily abandon Yun Rong, such a crucial pawn?
Qingmiao blinked her big, innocent eyes and nodded as if she understood, while Qinghe stood silently to the side, her head bowed and not saying a word.
Yun Juan felt a surge of pity and indignation for her mother, and thought to herself, "Back then, wasn't my mother also used in the same way?"
That man used any means necessary to climb the social ladder by associating with his mother's family, and with their influence, he gained a foothold and rose to fame in Kyoto.
However, once he gained power, he betrayed them, attempting to bring the Wei family down from their pedestal so he could dominate the region himself! What an ungrateful and despicable man!
Thinking of this, Yun Juan turned her thoughts to the woman her father was keeping outside.
In her opinion, her father, Yunting, would never support a useless woman for no reason.
Perhaps that woman holds some important leverage over my father, forcing him to obey her every word;
Or perhaps the two of them are birds of a feather, colluding with each other, plotting together some unspeakable conspiracy.
Just as Yun Juan's thoughts were racing, she suddenly realized that she had been so focused on talking to the two of them that she had forgotten that the steaming hot meat buns she had just bought were now cold.
So she quickly waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop talking! If we keep dawdling, the meat buns we bought will get completely cold! Come on... come sit down and eat with us!"
As she spoke, Yun Juan waved warmly to Qing Miao and Qing He, gesturing for them to sit down and have a meal together.
Seeing this, Qinghe hurriedly waved her hand and declined, "No, no, no... This is absolutely unacceptable! Miss... We are merely servants, how can we be qualified to eat at the same table as our masters! Such behavior is truly improper!"
Yun Quan originally came from the modern era, and the educational philosophy she received has always been that everyone is equal, regardless of status or wealth.
Therefore, she didn't really care much about the so-called distinction between superior and inferior people in ancient times.
Moreover, Yun Juan found the habit of those people kneeling and kowtowing at the drop of a hat extremely troubling and annoying.
Whenever she sees this scene, she can't help but shake her head and sigh.
Unable to persuade the two of them, Yun Juan could only speak sternly, "If you two continue like this, then go back to your mother's!"
Her words conveyed an unquestionable and irresistible authority.
Upon hearing this, Qinghe turned pale with fright and quickly reached out to grab Qingmiao beside her, making a move to kneel down together.
However, Yun Juan reacted quickly and stopped them.
Yun Juan frowned slightly and said with a hint of helplessness, "Oh dear, that's not what I meant! I just meant that there aren't so many formalities and strict rules here, so you don't need to be so cautious and apprehensive!"
Normally, Yun Juan is an impatient person, but given that these two little girls are quite well-behaved and sensible, and have performed quite well, she made an exception this time and spent more time explaining to them.
Moreover, these two girls were carefully trained by their mother, and she didn't want to let her mother down.
The only thing Yun Juan couldn't accept was that these two girls were too bound by formalities and rules.
