The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 373: The Servants Courting Death

The maid who had been slapped twice hurriedly pleaded, “I misspoke just now. Please give me another chance, Missy. I promise I won’t do it again.”

“You two have to cause trouble every time I come and you two have never had a good ending, yet you still don’t remember. Tell me, why is this necessary?”

“I can spare you.”

She pointed at the one in pajamas. “Clean the courtyard and then kneel in the courtyard for two hours. We’ll forget about this then!”

The servant was furious and was about to speak when Feng Qin interrupted, “Not happy? Alright, that’s it then. I’ll tell Grandmother what happened here later.”

“No, no, no. I’ll kneel!” The maid gritted her teeth.

“Then do it.”

“I’ll go change first!”

“Why are you changing? It’s almost nine o’clock and you’re still wearing pajamas. I’m sure you like to wear pajamas. Just wear it like this! If you really want to change, go ahead. There’s no need to kneel then. Just wait to be punished by Grandmother.”

“…” The servant glared at Feng Qin, wishing she could punch a hole in her.

“I’ll go do it now!”

Feng Qin looked at the maid who had been slapped twice. “You, go to the kitchen to help my mother first. After we have breakfast, you can clean the entire building!”

The maid was angry, but she did not dare to disobey.

She snorted and turned to leave, not even caring about the melon seeds and plate on the ground.

Feng Xiangxiang naturally heard such a huge commotion in the kitchen. She didn’t even take off her apron when she ran out, afraid that Feng Qin would be bullied.

When she ran out, Xi Fengling was walking towards Feng Qin and saying, “Since they don’t know the rules, why didn’t you change them?”

Looking at Feng Qin’s attitude, Xi Fengling knew that she had taught these two maids a lesson in the past. They had been taught a lesson and yet they still misbehaved, so why should she keep such people around?

Since the Feng Family still needed Feng Qin, the Feng Family would definitely agree to her changing servants.

“Sister Fengling, you might not know this, although it’s easy to replace them, I don’t know what kind of people would be sent to replace them. Although these two people are a little unruly, from the fact that they haven’t learned their lesson after being taught a lesson by me time and time again, I know that they don’t have any brains.”

“This kind of person only dares to show off but doesn’t dare to really do anything to harm my mother and me. I don’t often stay in the Feng Family, but my mother has to live here. Replacing them would only make me feel happy for a moment, but what if the bold people who replaced them bully my mother when I’m not around…”

Xi Fengling understood what she meant. These two servants were only putting on airs.

However, regardless of whether they were only putting on airs or not, a servant who put on the airs of a master and woke up later than the mistress, and sitting leisurely and munching on melon seeds while the mistress was working, couldn’t be retained. She could not tolerate servants who were rude to the mistress and guests! action

Or rather, it was impossible for Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Qin to continue staying in the Feng Family!

No matter why she abandoned her back then, she had to get them out of the Feng Family!

Feng Xiangxiang came out and was about to ask what was going on when she saw Xi Fengling.

She was so nervous that she couldn’t speak. She held her apron tightly and her eyes turned red as tears almost flowed out.

She couldn’t stop crying when she heard Feng Qin’s words.

“Qin’er, Mom is useless. I’ve implicated you.”

“Mom, why are you saying this? You’re not useless. You’re very good.”

If her mother was really useless, how could she have protected her until her adulthood? However, her mother was alone. She couldn’t win against a huge power like the Feng Family.

Xi Fengling’s grip on the gift box tightened when she saw the woman standing at the door.

The woman looked to be around 45 years old and looked a little haggard. However, no matter how haggard she was, she still had a gentle temperament.

She was very gentle and looked very motherly.

In terms of looks, she looked more like this woman than Feng Qin.

No wonder the Feng Family reacted so strongly to her.

Seeing that Xi Fengling was looking at Feng Xiangxiang and Feng Xiangxiang was also looking at Xi Fengling, Feng Qin seemed to be unable to control her emotions after seeing them like this.

Yan Jinyu stepped forward and smiled brightly, “Auntie, sorry to disturb you.”

Her voice called back their thoughts.

Feng Xiangxiang hurriedly wiped her tears and forced a smile. “I’m sorry. I lost my composure.”

“Qin’er mentioned you to me before you came. You’re Fengling and Jinyu, right?”

The two of them nodded.

Xi Fengling stopped looking at Feng Xiangxiang and retracted her gaze.

No one could see the emotions in her eyes.

However, Yan Jinyu, who knew her well, knew that she wasn’t the usual her.

However, it was understandable. After all, this was the first time she had seen her biological mother in her life. How could she not feel anything?

Not to mention Meimei, even she had high hopes for Fu Ya in her heart when she knew Fu Ya’s attitude towards her.

Yes, up until now, she was finally willing to admit that she had expectations for those two people deep in her heart.

Unfortunately, they had utterly disappointed her.

“Meimei, didn’t you bring a gift for Auntie?”

It was one thing for her emotions to be affected, but as one of them, Yan Jinyu didn’t want to see Xi Fengling sad, so she decided to remind her at the right time.

Xi Fengling reacted and looked at Yan Jinyu first. She instinctively looked for her most trusted person when she was uneasy and nervous.

Yan Jinyu smiled at her before Xi Fengling retracted her gaze and walked towards Feng Xiangxiang with the gift.

“Auntie, this is our first meeting. I hope Auntie will like this gift.”

Feng Xiangxiang only wanted to look at her and she didn’t know what she was doing. She had already taken the gift when she finally reacted.

She quickly said in a panic, “You don’t have to be so polite. Auntie is very happy to see you two.”

“This… Auntie didn’t even prepare any greeting gifts for you guys, so I’m really ashamed to accept your gift.”

“Mom, Sister Fengling gave you a gift. Open it and take a look.” Feng Qin didn’t mean anything else. She just wanted to take a look. If the gift was too expensive, they couldn’t accept it even if Xi Fengling was her sister.

If Xi Fengling was her sister, they would have owed her, so they naturally couldn’t accept her expensive gift. If Xi Fengling wasn’t her sister, they couldn’t accept it either.

Moreover, if the gift was too expensive, the Feng Family would snatch it away. It would be the Feng Family who would benefit from it.

Feng Qin didn’t want that to happen.

Feng Xiangxiang received Feng Qin’s gaze and understood what she meant.

She quickly opened the gift.

It was not gold or silver jewelry, but ginseng!

It was a huge one. Even if she had never seen one before, Feng Xiangxiang knew that this ginseng was at least 100 years old.

This was no ordinary gift.

They might not even find a way to buy it even if they had money.

“This… This is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

Feng Qin was also shocked. “It’s indeed too expensive. Sister Fengling, we can’t accept this gift.”

Xi Fengling was about to speak when the servant in pajamas who was sweeping the floor rushed over and snatched the gift box from Feng Xiangxiang’s hands. “What’s this? Ginseng? Such a big one?”

“This ginseng must be 100 years old, right? How can you accept such an expensive thing? I have to hand it to Old Madam for safekeeping…”
