Zheng Huaiyu seemed a little annoyed: "I have already greeted you respectfully, why do I need to repeat it again?"
Aunt Zhang replied firmly, "Because the young lady's attitude is not sincere, we need to start over."
Zheng Huaiyu widened her eyes and felt angry. How could she possibly greet Gu Qinlan sincerely!
Nanny Zhang continued without reservation: "Even if the young lady is unwilling in her heart, she must not let anyone see it on the surface. This is what is called not giving others a handle. If the young lady is lucky enough to step into Kyoto in the future, if she writes everything on her face, I am afraid that she will be plotted against at any time."
Zheng Huaiyu was speechless and could only suppress his unhappiness and try again.
Although this time is an improvement compared to the last time, it still seems stiff and lacks naturalness.
Aunt Zhang announced expressionlessly: "Please try again, young lady."
Zheng Huaiyu was getting a little impatient: "What do you want to do to make this happen? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
Nanny Zhang suddenly took out a ruler from her sleeve and said, "Young lady, stretch out your hand."
Zheng Huaiyu was shocked and quickly hid his hands behind his back: "Just redo it, what's there to be afraid of!"
So, she swallowed the humiliation and knelt down to bow to Gu Qinlan again.
This time, the movements were much more standardized.
But Nanny Zhang was still not satisfied.
Gu Qinlan interrupted with a smile: "Okay, let's stop here today. It's impossible to learn it all in one go."
Zheng Huaiyu felt relieved.
After they left, Fu Yujiao smiled and commented: "This Madam Zhang's methods are really as good as they were in the past."
Hongye also echoed: "Indeed, evildoers need evil to deal with them."
Gu Qinlan shook her head and smiled, thinking to herself, I wonder how long Zheng Huaiyu can hold on.
There was a loud bang——
Zheng Huiyi angrily threw the vase to the ground, fragments flying everywhere, and the maids and servants around her were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Huan Qing trembled as he tried to comfort her: "Calm down, young lady. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
The girl's temper has become increasingly violent recently, making the servants miserable.
Although the girl would not vent her anger on them, who would dare to slack off when the master was in a bad mood?
Zheng Huiyi paced back and forth in the room: "Go and call Gu Qinlan! I want to see her!"
Huan Qing patiently advised: "Miss, your throat has not yet healed, so you should not speak too hard, otherwise it will be troublesome if you hurt your throat in the future."
Zheng Huiyi roared angrily: "I'm almost dying, why should I care about my voice! Go call someone!"
Huan Qing almost cried: "Miss, Madam said she won't come. Madam, she still..."
Zheng Huiyi's eyes were sharp: "What else did she say?"
Huan Qing did not dare to look up, his voice trembling: "Madam said... let you face the reality. Now she has the final say in this mansion. If you continue to refuse to cooperate, she will keep you imprisoned until the prince returns."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huan Qing mustered up the courage to suggest: "Girl, maybe... you can try to learn the rules..."
"What? You want me to learn the rules?!"
Zheng Huiyi lost control of her emotions: "You also think I need to learn rules? You also think I'm rude?!"
Huan Qing quickly shook her head: "Absolutely not, I just feel that the current situation is not favorable to the young lady, so it is better to adopt a delaying tactic for the time being."
Zheng Huiyi, who was furious, suddenly stopped and asked, "A delaying tactic?"
Huan Qing nodded repeatedly, his approval evident in his words: "Indeed, Miss, the Duke of Duan's Mansion is now completely under the control of the Madam. A direct conflict with her would only bring humiliation upon ourselves. It is better to show weakness temporarily and let her relax her guard. In this way, Miss, you will not have to suffer the pain of imprisonment any longer. When the Crown Prince returns to the mansion, we will settle this old account with that woman."
Zheng Huiyi still seemed somewhat reluctant, and deep down she was extremely resistant to it.
Seeing that she did not refute fiercely, Huan Qing immediately seized the opportunity and comforted her gently: "Miss, you don't have to think that this is giving in to her. This is just a temporary solution. Endure your anger for a while, and you will have long-term peace. Once the prince returns, he will definitely support you. You and the prince are brothers from the same mother. Even if she is very cunning, the prince will not sit idly by and watch you suffer injustice."
Zheng Huiyi pondered for a long time, frowning, and finally spoke slowly: "What you said does make sense. Then let's do as you say. I will temporarily pretend to be friendly with the merchant girl and wait for my brother to come back. No, he doesn't even need to come back in person. As long as those letters fall into his hands, her glorious days will come to an end!"
Huan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really worried that she would not be able to complete this difficult task.
That’s right, persuading Zheng Huiyi to surrender is a mission, and this mission was given to her by Gu Qinlan.
Time goes back to the previous day.
Huan Qing knelt in front of Gu Qinlan tremblingly, her voice trembling: "I pay my respects to you, Madam. What do you want me to do?"
She was filled with fear. Her young lady had fought hard with the lady, but she was always at a disadvantage. She was worried that the lady would take the opportunity to attack her loyal maids. Once they were eliminated, the young lady would be isolated and helpless in the mansion, and could only let the lady manipulate her.
Such a thought made Huan Qing's face pale as paper.
However, Gu Qinlan just smiled softly: "Why are you so nervous? Do I look like a fierce monster?"
Huan Qing quickly shook his head: "No way, Madam is beautiful, dignified, gentle and charming, the most stunningly beautiful person I have ever seen."
Gu Qinlan laughed out loud: "You are such a sweet girl. Don't be nervous, I didn't ask you to come here to make things difficult for you. In fact, I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"help?"
Huanqing was full of doubts. The entire Prince Duan's Mansion was now controlled by the Madam. Why did the Madam still need help from a little girl like her?
Gu Qinlan explained: "I asked you for help because I hope you can convince your young lady."
Huan Qing was even more confused. Wasn't this lady always at odds with their young lady? The young lady had already been defeated, so what else did the lady want to do?
She couldn't help but blurt out: "Madam, although I am just an insignificant servant, I am definitely not a mean person who changes with the wind! Madam, don't waste your time, I will never betray my young lady!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huan Qing immediately realized her mistake and was horrified. How could she survive after openly contradicting the lady like this?
This thought made her face paler and she could hardly support herself in the kneeling position, but she gritted her teeth and did not beg for mercy.
Gu Qinlan restrained her smile and said, "You are a loyal girl, much more courageous than your master. Don't worry, I don't want to alienate you from your master, nor do I intend to harm you. To be honest, I don't like the people around your lady, including her, because you are all too mediocre."
Gu Qinlan continued, "I asked you for help because I hope you can convince your young lady to learn the rules. You know your young lady's rules. She is not even as good as those girls from small families, let alone being compared with the ladies from wealthy families."
"She is already of marriageable age. How many wealthy families do you think would be willing to accept her with her personality and manners?"
