The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Although Yue Niang was a maid before, Madam You treated servants well and never mistreat her harshly. In fact, she had never really suffered any hardship.

Even though she had always heard people say that the fighting in the inner house was dangerous, she had never actually seen it.

When I was brought into the Yao family this morning, I finally understood what those ladies used to say, "There are more women, more gossips."

Yue Niang has not had a good time these days. Although Master Yao spends all his time surrounded by flowers, there are too many women in the Yao Mansion. Each of them has her own strengths and is dressed up gorgeously, which makes her pretty appearance look dull and boring.

In the first few days, Master Yao still remembered her, but after being seduced by other concubines several times, Master Yao simply forgot about her and ignored her.

Yue Niang looked around her bedroom. Although it was bigger than the previous room, it was so empty that it made people feel cold.

"Auntie, dinner is here"

There was a gentle knock on the door, and a little maid assigned by the housekeeper walked in slowly, carrying a dish and a meal.

The rules in the Yao Mansion are numerous and strict, and even the maids' behavior is extremely harsh. Compared with the relaxed environment of the You Mansion, it is a world of difference.

The girl didn't dare to look up at her master. She lowered her head, carefully placed the food, and stood aside.

Yue Niang stood up with the help of the bed frame and slowly sat down at the square table. Just as she was about to pick up the bamboo chopsticks to pick up some food, she saw the food on the plate and became so angry that she threw the chopsticks away and reached out to overturn the food and threw it on the ground.

"ah!"

The porcelain pieces broke and the food juice splashed onto the maid's feet, causing her to step back and scream.

"What do you call it? Is this the meal you brought? A plate of vegetables to feed the rabbits? Is this how the steward in your house works?"

Yue Niang turned up the volume and pressed her with such force that the little maidservant was frightened and started crying.

"Aunt, what the kitchen gave you... is... these, not me..." The little maid explained while crying softly, but was frightened by Yue Niang and fell to the ground.

"Stop crying and go away!" The whimpering sound made Yue Niang upset. She felt even more aggrieved and angry, so she ordered the little maid to go out.

Standing in the room, Yue Niang looked at the mess on the floor. She was still hungry, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She kicked away the chair, stood up and walked out the door.

There were many people in the kitchen of the Yao Mansion, and the smell of steaming and cooking was mixed together, making the smell a bit choking. Yue Niang was irritated by the smell of chili spices and coughed twice. She covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and walked in to look for the kitchen manager.

"Hey, auntie, this kitchen smells strongly of smoke. It's not a place you can enter with your noble body. Please go back!" The steward inside saw it and bowed respectfully towards Yue Niang. His courtesy was very considerate, but the meaning of his words sounded full of sarcasm in Yue Niang's ears.

"Manager Fang, the food delivered to my room a few days ago wasn't great, but it was still acceptable. But today's food is even worse than the servants'."

Yue Niang was so angry that she spoke without thinking. After she finished speaking, she looked at the expressions of the people around her and then realized that her words were offensive.

But the words had been said, and the anger was accumulating on her face, so she had to continue to save face.

The steward thought that Yue Niang was not even born a maid, but she had come to the master's house and become a concubine. Not even two days had passed, but she was already using her master's power to teach them a lesson.

He still looked respectful, and seeing Yue Niang's face flushed, he smiled and said in a friendly way: "Oh, how could that be? Maybe the waiter put the dishes in the wrong place and sent the servants' dishes to your room."

"There are so many people in the kitchen, it's really messy when it's busy. Please forgive me. I'll make a few dishes for you and send them over. How do you think?"

No one would believe this. The servants' meals and the concubine's meals were not cooked on the same stove, so how could they be delivered wrong? Anyone with open eyes could tell the quality of the dishes, so how could they be delivered wrong?

But they are all excuses!

But since she had won the favor of the steward, Yue Niang's expression softened. She knew that she had just arrived and it would be difficult to make enemies by being too conspicuous, so she decided to quit while she was ahead.

"Well, I won't bother about this matter. Manager Fang, please pay close attention in the future to avoid sending the wrong thing again!"

Yue Niang adjusted her temples, turned around to leave, and bumped into Hong Ling, the maid who came to put the dishes away.

"Ah! There was a time when Aunt Yue condescended to come to the kitchen? We servants thought that Aunt Yue was too arrogant and would never have anything to do with us again after she was freed from slavery!" Even though Master Yao did not stay at Yue Niang's place these days, Hongling's hostility towards Yue Niang did not diminish.

She was accompanying Madam Yao that day and was the second person to see how Yue Niang seduced Master Yao.

She was a seductive woman by nature, but the lady actually allowed her to enter the mansion. In her opinion, Yue Niang should be beaten to death in You's house!

"Snapped!"

As soon as she finished her sarcastic words, there was a gust of wind and Hongling was slapped in the face.

The tray and porcelain bowls were broken all over the floor. Hong Ling put her hand on her swollen and painful face and stared at Yue Niang in disbelief:

"You...you dare to hit me? I'm the head maidservant beside the young lady, how dare you hit me?" The words started to tremble, and then got louder and louder, and more and more angry as they spoke.

"I am the master now. Even though you are by the young lady's side, you are still a maid. You said that the Yao Mansion attaches great importance to rules. How can I, as the master, not beat a maid like you!" Yue Niang was not stupid. Since she was so angry that she hit someone, she also had reason to argue.

Besides, there were so many servants coming in and out of the kitchen door. If she was submissive and afraid of Hongling today, anyone would be able to bully her in the future.

"You dare to hit me? You dare to hit me?!" Hongling kept repeating this sentence, her eyes becoming more and more resentful, and she couldn't control herself and rushed forward to tear Yue Niang's hair.

"Ouch! Hongling! Aunt Yue! What are you doing!"

"Hey, if you have something to say, just talk it over, don't hit me!"

The kitchen was in chaos, with people fighting and trying to stop the fight.

In the study room at the other end, Master Yao was sitting next to the young lady, asking for her opinion cautiously.

The young lady took the scroll and read it. After a while, she raised her eyes and talked to Master Yao, saying, "How difficult is this? He is in our house now. We can just make up a crime and throw him into my uncle's prison. He will definitely reveal something after being tortured."

Upon hearing this, Master Yao's eyebrows twitched, as if he remembered something, and he moved a little further away from the young lady without leaving a trace.

“But, if we really find out something, and if the people above us find out about the torture, wouldn’t we be offended…My uncle means…” Fearing that improper handling would bring disaster to County Magistrate Yao, Master Yao hesitated and looked back.

He was not worried about the man's life, but was afraid of the harsh criticism from County Magistrate Yao after things went wrong.

"If you do nothing and just keep me here, what use is there for Lord Yao to have you?" Throwing the scroll in her hand on the bamboo couch, Madam Yao stood up, walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

"Madam..." Seeing the lady's cold face, Master Yao was obviously a little scared. When he was about to ask something else, he suddenly heard the maid's anxious report outside the door:

"Madam, Master, something bad has happened. Hongling and Aunt Yue are fighting in the kitchen! Please go and take a look!" The little maidservant panted and spoke very quickly in one breath, leaning against the door frame and breathing heavily.

Young Master Yao was worried about important matters. He thought it was a serious matter, but it turned out to be just a family dispute.

Her heartbeat slowed down and she frowned unhappily. Just as she was about to scold the reckless maid and leave, she was interrupted by the young lady who was drinking tea nearby.

"This kind of trouble hasn't happened in your house for a long time. It's quite strange. Lead the way. I'll go take a look."

"Yes!" The little maid immediately lowered her head and responded.
