Chapter 1194 – So Poor That You Do Not Have A Surname
The other half of the servants that were left outside displayed excited and happy expressions of disbelief.
“Madam is awake! That’s great! Madam is finally awake! The heavens have eyes…”
Yin Xiu’s expression instantly changed.
She was standing outside and did not enter because she did not want the heavy musty smell of death from within the room to affect her baby.
Her words and actions earlier were just a display for the rest.
Over the past few years, she had only managed to acquire the loyalty of half of the servants. The other half were mainly old servants who were still loyal to the Madam.
As for her statement about Madam requiring peace and quiet. That was just nonsense, but even though it was nonsense, she has had to repeat it often.
When Yin Xiu heard that voice, she jumped in shock as well.
Woke up? How is it possible?
Yin Xiu could no longer care about the musty smell and entered the room to take a look!
‘Really awake? Although she is as skinny as a ghost, she can get off the bed and wear her clothes. Her expression is also calm, with no signs of sorrow or happiness.”
Yin Xiu felt that things were turning south, “Madam, you are awake? You lazy girls, why did you not inform me that the Madam is awake. Is this how you do your job?”
Madam w.a.n.g slowly wore the outer robe, covering herself properly. The robe was extremely loose, making her look as though a strong gust of wind would blow her away. However, this did not obstruct her aura of being the main wife of the household.
“Is there a need to raise your voice for any reason? Where is the propriety? What are you standing there for? Why are you still not helping this Madam wear her clothes?”
In a large household of high standing, it was widely accepted for the concubine to serve the main wife.
Yin Xiu subconsciously followed the orders and approached, but after some pondering, she replied, “Madam, Yin Xiu is currently pregnant.”
Madam w.a.n.g threw a cold glance at her before replying, “A mere concubine can still be sold away without informing the Master of the house, regardless if they were pregnant or not. Yin Xiu, this Madam has escaped the jaws of death, it is time to settle some scores.”
Yin Xiu has had her way for several years, how could she stomach such impudent words? Her face turned ugly instantly, she thought to tear off this farce and stage a confrontation now.
That was when Yin Xiu noticed that those old servants had silently stood behind Madam w.a.n.g by now.
She could only grit her teeth, “Madam, there is no need to speak so harshly. You have just recovered from a severe illness and still require more rest. What if you have a relapse or this recovery is just temporary? You will not be able to do anything.”
“I initially did not believe that you were the culprit. Yin Xiu, your family used to be so poor that you do not even have a surname. Your siblings at that time came to our w.a.n.g Family to beg for food. I pitied your plight and decided to take you in as a maid so that you will not continue to starve. Yet you eventually climbed into the Master’s bed! I had wanted to sell you off, but you made a severe vow that you did not do it willingly and was actually forced by the Master. I saw that you were going to use your death to prove your innocence, I pitied you again and gave you a t.i.tle. You even told me that you will use the rest of your life to serve me… So this is what you are showing me now…”
After Madam w.a.n.g’s words, the people that were loyal to Yin Xiu felt embarra.s.sed; half of them moved away from Yin Xiu.
……
When Huan Qing Yan saw this, she felt impressed. Madam w.a.n.g had just woken up after falling sick for a long time, yet she was able to achieve the upper hand the moment she woke up. This shows that she had been very competent in handling the affairs of the estate in the past.
Looking at the situation, Huan Qing Yan believed she would not need to intervene.
She also did not like to intervene in the affairs of other people because her hands were already full with her own matters.
After leaving behind some Well Water to Madam w.a.n.g, Huan Qing Yan also gave her a few medicinal food recipes good for nouris.h.i.+ng the body and left.
Madam w.a.n.g did not ask her to stay as well, she wanted to use this moment when her mind was still well to deal with the w.a.n.g Family’s root of the trouble.
