Chapter 139 - Clean Up Her Courtyard! (1/2)

The next day, Yao Ling felt refreshed and ready for a new day. When she was going to go to the matriarch's courtyard for her morning greet, Xiao Yu gave her a piece of good news. Liu Li already did her revenge and she helped Yao Ling clean up her courtyard by removing two maidservants at once.

”How did she did it? Yao Ling asked curiously. Although she knew that Liu Li would give her a benefit, she didn't know exactly how she did that. That's why she felt curious about what Liu Li had done to the maidservants.

Xiao Yu grinned. ”Young Mistress, she's indeed ruthless. However, because this move is for our benefit... I really applaud her.” What Xiao Yu said was correct... As long as her foul tactics weren't used against them, Yao Ling actually should praise her because of her wit.

Yao Ling yawned lazily and once again asked Xiao Yu, ”So... what did she do?”

”This morning... I found out that two of our maidservants were gone. I guessed that that was the move that Young Mistress kept saying before. That's why I asked around to find out about what's going on when they didn't show up for duty this morning,” Xiao Yu said.

”Are they Qiu Qiu and Qiu Ling?” Yao Ling asked while smiling.

”Young Mistress guessed correctly! They were the one who answered the matriarch's questions back then!” Xiao Yu said excitedly, but she suddenly frowned, ”But Liu Li is indeed vicious. They had no choice but to answer with the truth. After all, the one who asked the questions was the matriarch herself. If they lied, the consequences were also dire if a servant lied to the master. They could be beaten along with Liu Li!”

”Yeah, but as I told you before, she isn't in the right state of mind. My mother once told me about a person with this type of condition. This kind of person has lived through so many bad experiences, thus they had a weakness toward kindness and happiness. Once she feels that someone gives him/her care and affectionateness, she will definitely feel indebted. I bet once she felt that way towards Concubine Wan, however, in reality, Concubine Wan didn't treat all of her servants nicely. That's probably the reason why Liu Li got her second master and changed her loyalty, but now... she is also abandoned by them,” Yao Ling explained. ”She probably will seek a new master.”

Xiao Yu's face lit up. ”Ah... no wonder! By showing her kindness around her downfall time, Liu Li will feel indebted to Young Mistress!” Xiao Yu exclaimed.

”En... sooner or later... she will come to our side,” Yao Ling said. ”However, you also need to be careful. Once she is triggered or she feels that she was being abandoned or treated badly, she would retaliate with the same vengeance.” Liu Li had a type of mental illness and even though she could be used, they still needed to be careful around her. She was in luck because Mother used to tell her a thing or two about mental illness in order to let her be careful when she met a person like Liu Li. She used to complain that it was a useless thing to learn, but Yao Ling never knew until now that it was a really helpful knowledge.

In this type of household, she needed to have a strong mental ability to see through people's intention and calmly judge a situation. She already paid attention to Liu Li since the first time she met her. In a glance, she knew that Liu Li was the mastermind behind Concubine Wan's behavior. If she didn't pay her any attention, she probably wouldn't realize her current state of mind.

”Yes, Young Mistress. Qiu Qiu somehow was found in bed with a man and she's currently outside with that man, waiting for Young Mistress' judgment. She's still in disarray state at the moment. Fortunately, Young Master has gone to Lin Fu --- or else, he will see a disgusting sight,” Xiao Yu said. In her mind, Young Master and Young Mistress is the perfect couple. She didn't want Young Master to see another woman's body other than her Young Mistress!
