Chapter 827: On Cloud Nine (1)
When the maid came in, Ling Tianya was breastfeeding Tiny Rice Ball in the washroom attached to the main living room.
All of the baby supplies were still in the nursery. Although Ling Tianya had pleaded several times for them to bring them some items for Tiny Rice Ball, she was rejected every time.
“What do those villains want now?” Madame Ruan asked with annoyance when the maid came in.
The maid was loyal to the family, so she spoke to Madame Ruan respectfully, “Old Madam, Qin wants Young Mistress to…”
“To what?” Madame Ruan frowned at the mention of Qin’s name. She had a bad premonition about this already.
Everyone else’s expression hardened as well, Qin hated everyone in the mansion, especially Young Mistress. Ling Tianya never treated Qin with respect and she had previously banned Qin from entering the premises altogether. If Qin hated Madame Ruan the most in the family, Young Mistress was second on the list.
Hesitantly, the maid said, “Qin wants Young Mistress to serve them dinner…”
The maid was put in a tough spot as well. Young Mistress had always been kind to them. She always greeted them politely, and she never once looked down on them. Young Mistress always called them hard-working folks who traded every drop of sweat in exchange for every penny. She always respected everyone in the villa, no matter their positions. She only judged someone by their character, never by what they owned.
Obviously, Qin wasn’t someone who deserved any respect.
Although they felt bad for Young Mistress, they had no choice. They had to obey Qin’s orders. They were weak and powerless here…
“They want the Ling girl to serve them?” Madame Ruan was boiling with anger now. “How dare they?”
Ruan Qishan’s expression was dark. He was angry too. Ling Tianya was his daughter-in-law, how could she go serve them dinner?
“No, no!” Wang Yazhi couldn’t handle that sort of humiliation either. “Tell Ruan Guosheng that he can kill us if he wants to, but we will never be humiliated this way! When Zeyan is back, he will most definitely avenge us! Anyway, I wouldn’t let Yaya go serve them. I won’t allow them to treat her this way!”
Although the maid didn’t wish for Ling Tianya to go as well, she had no choice but to plead. “Old Madam, Master, Mistress, Young Mistress has to go…”
“How could you…” Wang Yazhi was glaring at the maid now. She was at a loss for words as anger bubbled over her.
The maid didn’t want them to misunderstand her, so she quickly explained herself. “Qin said that she would stop supplying water and food to all of you if Young Mistress refused to go. She also threatened that she could do however she pleased to all of you even though she couldn’t kill you… She said that she was in charge of your fates now.”
The maid was anxious as she watched Ruan Qishan’s reaction. “Master, never mind about the adults, but Young Master is still so young… What would happen to him if she really cuts off water and food?”
Ruan Qishan and everyone’s expression changed with her words.
She was right. What would happen to Tiny Rice Ball if all sustenance was cut off? He was still so small and so vulnerable. Ling Tianya was still breastfeeding at the moment, so she needed all the nutrients she could get…
“Also,” the maid continued, “Qin also said that she would kill Uncle Zhong immediately if Young Mistress still refused to obey her orders…”
The maid choked up at the mention of Uncle Zhong. Although Uncle Zhong was the butler of the mansion, he was more like their own grandfather to all of the servants in the mansion. None of them wished for anything bad to happen to Uncle Zhong. They didn’t want him to be killed.
