Chapter 186: Chapter 184: Mid-Autumn Temple Fair: People Rounder as the Moon Shines Brighter (Part 1)
Yesterday, there was also a ruckus in the old house all night long.
Di Ruoning’s mind was not at ease, and with her failure to plot against Liu Sisi, she fell sick; naturally, she vented her anger on the people around her.
The one who bore the brunt of it was naturally Ms. Ma, the servant they had bought.
Yuan Mengbai spent half the night rambling with Elderly Mr. Di in the main room. When he saw that it was getting late, he finally headed towards his room.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached the doorway, he saw Ms. Ma running out of the room in tears.
“What’s the matter? Who upset you?”
Yuan Mengbai hurriedly stopped her.
Ms. Ma looked at him and quickly wiped the tears from her face: “Old Master! Madam…”
As she spoke, her tears streamed down again!
“Did Madam bully you again?” Yuan Mengbai was also helpless.
His use of the word “again” was because this kind of incident had happened more than once or twice already!
Just as Ms. Ma was about to speak, an angry voice came from inside the room: “What’s going on? Are you 41-year-olds still trying to act like a little girl tattling?”
As her words fell, a figure suddenly appeared at the doorway; if it wasn’t Di Ruoning, who else could it be?
Di Ruoning leaned against the doorway and coldly stared at the two people, as if she wanted to kill them with her eyes.
Ms. Ma dared not say any more, quickly wiping away her tears and running away.
Yuan Mengbai tried to call out but didn’t know what else to say, so he sighed, walked to Di Ruoning’s side.
“Ruo Ning, you really need to change your temper. Although Ms. Ma was bought by us, she is still human. Scolding her to the point of crying is not right. I think…”
“Oh! Yuan Mengbai, are you planning to defend her or what?”
Di Ruoning had no intention of being tactful at all.
She stretched out a finger and tapped Yuan Mengbai’s chest: “Don’t forget, everything in your home, food, clothing, and expenses are all given by me, Di Ruoning! What do you think you are? Daring to speak to me like this?”
“I! … Ruo Ning, I’m just saying this for your own good, do you really need to speak so aggressively?” Yuan Mengbai was also angry and couldn’t help but question her.
“Hehe! It seems you’re getting bolder now.”
Di Ruoning chuckled a couple of times, her face full of laziness: “If you, Yuan Mengbai, really have the ability, either go out and earn some money for me, or properly serve me. Maybe, if I think your performance is good enough, I don’t mind giving you a few extra taels of silver to spend! Yawn—I’m so sleepy.”
Without waiting for Yuan Mengbai to respond, she went straight back into the room.
“You? You! You…”
Yuan Mengbai was so angry that he clenched and unclenched his fists, looking extremely furious. In the end, he still couldn’t bring himself to barge into the room and have a heated argument with her.
Instead, he quietly turned around and walked silently to the other end.
On the right wing, a figure naturally saw the whole scene without missing a beat.
Waiting for Yuan Mengbai to leave, she quickly sneaked into Di Ruoning’s room and immediately showed an ingratiating smile.
“Little Sister, hehe… Little Sister, you haven’t slept yet.”
It was obvious that she was just trying to make small talk!
