Chapter 10 The Maid Who Took Advantage of Her Power (1/2)

Ning Xueyan looked out and saw that Qingrui was back.

She was another first maid of Ning Xueyan, but in fact, she was one of Madam Ling's people. She usually relied on Madam Ling's influence and had bullied Ning Xueyan much.

Whatever happened in Bright Frost Garden was always known by Madam Ling's side first, and that was all because Qingrui was trying to curry favor with her.

It could be said that this Qingrui was put in Bright Frost Garden by Madam Ling to monitor Ning Xueyan. She likely also had something to do with Madam Ming's death.

There was something odd about Madam Ming's death.

”Of course I have something to do. The first miss gets married, it's an important issue. I have to help her. Unlike you, you can also rely on the Second Madam to be lazy.” Qingrui, dressed in a beautiful new satin dress, looked disdainfully and sneered at Mother Han, who was covered in coarse linen and white cloth.

”Qingrui, how dare you say that!” Mother Han was trembling with anger as she cursed in rage.

”Give your fire a rest, Madam, you're also so old. What kind of temper do you have so early in the morning? The Fifth Young Lady needs to get up, and you should go serve her now!”

Qingrui lifted up her head. With Madam Ling backing her, she was not afraid of Mother Han, so she twisted her waist to walk toward her room. She did not want to come if the First Madam urged her.

She was just a dying thing that kept consuming medicine. What was so important about it?

Ning Xueyan stood silently at the window, watching Qingrui's brilliant red skirt disappear around the corner. Only then did she raise her voice and call out, ”Mother Han.”

Hearing Ning Xueyan's call, Mother Han, not caring her anger toward Qingrui, hurriedly put down her things and went in. ”Young lady, do you want to have breakfast? Please wait for a moment. Qingrui is not here today. Qingyu went to fetch it. She's a little late.”

Ning Xueyan's food had always been taken from the kitchen by Qingrui, but this food was often replaced by her. Madam Ming was ill and Ning Xueyan was cowardly. How could she argue with Qingrui because of this?

”Madam, have Qingrui get the noon meal.” With her thoughts turning, Ning Xueyan had come up with a countermeasure, and a cold smile appeared on her pale face.

This issue could perhaps break Madam Ling's reach into Bright Frost Garden. If Madam Ling suffered losses this time, she would never let it go. So, she should start at a faster pace and take advantage of Madam Ling's business...
