8 A Little Girl (2/2)

She sat on the chair at the end of the hall and ordered YuLi to get refreshments.

”Da XiaoJie, this old servant is glad that you came. This old servant thought that Da XiaoJie couldn't find the way to the center hall and almost ordered someone to bring you here.”

Housekeeper Wang's words were full of worry but XuanRong could hear the hidden insults.

'Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Housekeeper Wang ah, you are still the same. After rebirth, do you really think that I'm still the same XuanRong who could only grit her teeth and suffer in silence? After what you have done in my previous life, do you really think that you can escape my claws? Heh.. let's see if you can still talk like that later. Seems like you already forgotten that you are just a servant brought by Xiao Lou to manage this manor.'

The manor in Lu Shan was very small, only two square li[4]. It would be very impossible to be lost in a very small manor unless someone was not intelligent enough to remember the location of every hall and courtyards.

XuanRong smiled as if she was unable to decipher Housekeeper Wang's hidden words. She sighed in sympathy, her voice was full of self-blame as she stared at Housekeeper Wang.

”This Lady did not expect that all of you are already waiting for me. This Lady is very ashamed to let Housekeeper Wang do everything on your own. It pains This Lady to see Housekeeper Wang work so hard and neglect your health. Look at you! You are starting to lose your hair! Ayeee.. such a pity..”

Housekeeper Wang's face turned red then green when he heard the suppressed laughter coming from the servants standing behind him. He was already half-bald, making him look older than his current age. He knew that behind his back, some people were laughing because of his appearance. After being ridiculed in front of many people, his breathing became erratic due to anger, making him grit his teeth until his face turned violet.

”Since This Lady is already living in Lu Shan for a week, This Lady thought that it's time to face reality and be a responsible Young Lady. So, This Lady will help you manage the manor and let you rest so that you can restore your health to its peak. Zou mama is also old like housekeeper Wang, so This Lady will personally manage everything starting today and won't let both you suffer anymore.”

When Housekeeper Wang heard XuanRong's words, he could not help but scoff and rebuke her.

”Da XiaoJie, this old servant has been managing the manor together with Zou mama since you were young and knows that it is a very difficult and tiring task. How can a small child like Da XiaoJie be able to manage the manor peacefully? Please, think carefully, Da XiaoJie. Da XiaoJie should just relax during your stay here in Lu Shan and leave everything to this old servant.”

Even if Zou mama already informed him beforehand about XuanRong's threat, Housekeeper Wang was not a pushover and wouldn't easily agree being threatened by a little girl.

'Even if you are the Eldest Young Miss, you were banished here personally in the suburbs by Master. It only means that you don't have any weight in Master's heart. Holding an empty title, can you force me to submit to you? Hehe.. Quit dreaming. Here, I am the law.'
