Chapter 2101: Chapter 2101: Thought It Was for Sightseeing
She never intended anything of the sort; she merely wished to attend to the Third Miss herself. Why does it have to be so difficult? Moreover, when has the madam ever cared about the Third Miss like this before?
Even this time, it wasn’t out of concern for the Third Miss that the madam dispatched someone to attend to her, right?
Pah, what kind of attendance are we talking about? It should be called supervision, teaching the Third Miss a lesson, shouldn’t it?
Don’t act as if she knows nothing—she understands it all too well in her heart.
“I feel that Reflection Cliff is a place of hardship, and I cannot bear to see my elder sisters suffer. I am used to attending to the Third Miss, and I’m familiar with her habits as if they were written on the palm of my hand. Accompanying the Third Miss to Reflection Cliff, I will certainly be able to attend to her excellently.”
She explained.
Just as the two maids had received advice from Auntie Ting He, which was to discipline the Third Miss at Reflection Cliff and correct her arrogant behaviors, they overheard Wang Hua’er’s words and sneered immediately.
“Are you implying that we are less capable of enduring hardships than you?”
“As fellow maids and all serving our master, are you hinting to Auntie Ting He that, though we are destined to be maids, we have the heart of a mistress?”
Both of them confronted Wang Hua’er at the same time.
They thought about taking the job from her and providing good care to the Third Miss on Reflection Cliff, but whether they would agree to that was another matter.
The truth is, the Third Miss really does deserve a proper lesson, otherwise, who knows what trouble she could bring to the Tufeng Sect in the future.
By then, the entire Tufeng Sect’s reputation would be on the ground!
“I….”
Wang Hua’er opened her mouth, understanding in her heart that these people wouldn’t make things easy for her.
Originally she had wanted to fight for her position, but now it seemed impossible. After taking a deep breath, she looked towards Auntie Ting He, hoping to make a concession and plead to attend to the Third Miss at Reflection Cliff alongside the two maids.
She thought that with the contrast presented by the two others, if she could just show a small kindness to the Third Miss, wouldn’t that make the Third Miss immensely grateful?
The better for her, then.
“Auntie Ting He, why not allow this servant to accompany the two elder sisters to Reflection Cliff and attend to the Third Miss? An additional person means extra security, doesn’t it?”
“Heh.”
Auntie Ting He scoffed at her coldly.
“The Sect Master has punished the Third Miss to go to Reflection Cliff, do you think it’s for a pleasure trip? More security? The Third Miss is there to reflect, not to enjoy herself!”
Seeing Wang Hua’er’s lack of self-awareness, she did not mind speaking frankly. Did she really believe that whoever plead their case here could easily persuade her?
The madam had already given her orders; she did not believe that this maid, who could perfectly cajole the Third Miss, could be clueless about it all!
In the end, Wang Hua’er failed to achieve her goal; it was simply impossible to persuade Auntie Ting He to add her name to the list of those going to Reflection Cliff. Grinding her teeth, she could only think of another plan.
“No, I can’t just let this go, we must find the Third Miss.”
After leaving Madam Xue’s courtyard, she contemplated the whole way and eventually decided to take a risk by sneaking into the Ancestral Shrine to meet the Third Miss Xue Manyu and ask what to do.
If they waited until night, it would certainly be too late; she had no choice but to go to the Ancestral Shrine during the day.
Moreover, going during the day, when everyone might be resting, would give her a chance to sneak into the Ancestral Shrine, which wouldn’t be the case at night.
…
Inside the Ancestral Shrine, Xue Manyu was filled with resentment.
She murmured incessantly, cursing everyone from the disciples guarding the outside of the Ancestral Shrine to High Priest Demon Heart, and even to her own father.
