The Fierce Illegitimate Miss

Chapter 52

When they went into the room, General Yu and Mu Shi looked at each other and sat across from each other, worried.

Everyone had seen Lord Xu's performance today and the two masters of the Yu house were no exception. They really didn't expect that Yu Ling Long, the troublemaker, would provoke His Royal Highness Xu, and they didn't expect that the dignified prince would be so different. He didn't like the many noble and elegant daughters, but he liked their fierce Yu Ling Long. For ordinary people, this may be a great happy event, but in the Yu household, it was hard to guess if it was happiness or misfortune.

Let's not talk about Yu Ling Long's unconcealed hostility towards Yu Mansion. Let's talk about Prince Xu instead. He had always acted unexpectedly. Today he said he liked Yu Ling Long, but if Yu Ling Long offended him tomorrow, then disaster would be imminent in the Yu household. If you have offended His Royal Highness Prince Xu, you could have your belongings confiscated and your bloodline destroyed!

Even more frightening was that with Yu Ling Long's temperament, this kind of thing was likely to happen soon. The two of them sat in silence with the same thought in their minds: how can this catastrophe be avoided? After thinking for a long time, Mu Shi made a suggestion in a low voice "Master, how about we expel Ling Long from the house?" Besides, she was the daughter of a concubine who was not even listed in the family records. It did not matter to the Yu household whether they had such a person.

General Yu's bull-like eyes glared, and he looked at Mu Shi fiercely "Women look at it like this! Look at the way Lord Xu treated that girl today. What would he say if he came to see Yu Ling Long and she was not in our house? How would you explain that to Lord Xu?" Mu Shi didn't dare to speak immediately.

General Yu said so, but he actually still had another thought in his mind. In case Lord Xu really fell in love with Yu Ling Long and took her into his house, regardless of whether she was a concubine or a maid, as long as she was favored by Lord Xu, then the Yu household could follow along. If Yu Ling Long was really driven out, then there would be no hope.

General Yu thought for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a solution. He thumped the table with anger. He raised his eyes to see Mu Shi sitting on one side with her neck curled up, and he couldn't help but angrily say "How did you become the first wife? Even the girl's education is not good!"

Mu Shi really couldn't complain, why did he blame her again? If it wasn't for General Yu who had taken a fancy to some dancer from the Western Regions and then gave birth to a daughter like Yu Ling Long, would today's events be happening? Besides, she gave birth to a daughter but did not accept her to teach her, and now she has developed into a wild girl. How was she to blame? She thought like this in her head, but Mu Shi didn't dare to say it, so she lowered her head to hide her dissatisfaction. She said in a low voice, "Master, don't be angry. Let's think about it slowly."

Where does General Yu have such patience? He waved his big hand and said irritably, "You are in charge of the affairs of the inner house. You should find a way!"

Mu Shi was taken aback. Before he waited for her to say anything, General Yu had already walked away. Looking at General Yu's back, Mu Shi was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand!

How could he throw down such a mess and expect her to clean it up!?

Mama Cui walked in quietly, picking up the broken shards on the ground, and comforting her "Madam, don't be angry. The master is such a short-tempered man. Regarding the Fourth Lady, let's find another way."

Mu Shi thought of the recent sullen things, and for a while, she was angry and hateful "What way? This girl is unmoved by force and persuasion, what do you want me to do?" She let her subordinates beat Yu Ling Long, but then was beaten by Yu Ling Long; she let the kitchen poison her, but was beaten again by Yu Ling Long; she taught Yu Ling Long as her mother, but she was still beaten relentlessly by Yu Ling Long!

No matter what Mu Shi did to deal with Yu Ling Long, she would have one trick: a beating!

She gave Yu Ling Long money, and they took all the orders; she gave Yu Ling Long head ornaments, but she didn't think it was enough. Not only was it not enough, but she didn't even have a word of thanks! What should she do with such a fierce woman?

Mama Cui thought for a while and said tentatively "The servant girl heard that the Fourth Lady went to buy a girl a few days ago. How about you give the Fourth Lady a few servants?"

Mu Shi got a headache with anger, and said without thinking, "What is giving her maids going to do? You think I don't have enough money for her?"

Mama Cui smiled and said "Silver is a dead thing, but a person is a living thing..."

Only then did Mu Shi come back to her senses. Yes, in her duel with Yu Ling Long, she had been losing and missing the opportunities. If a few of her people were placed in Pinlan Garden and Yu Ling Long was monitored, to her, there were benefits without harm. Having mastered Yu Ling Long's movements, Mu Shi was naturally able to adapt to the changes, and would not be restrained in anything. In doing so, it can be regarded as an explanation to General Yu, and she will not be said to be a shameless concubine child.

Mu Shi was determined. She nodded and said, "Go pick a few clever girls and send them to her. Remember, I want family-born children." Family-born children were the children of servants in the family. For such a girl, the families' sales contracts are in the hands of Mu Shi, and they are naturally absolutely loyal to Mu Shi.

She didn't believe that, for this daughter of a concubine child, she could do anything!?

Looking at a row of four uniformly dressed maids in the yard, Yu Ling Long's inky pupils swept over them, but her pearly eyes shone with a hint of chill "This is all for me?"

Mama Cui nodded and laughed with her "The lady said that the Fourth Lady has been in the house for a while, and there is no decent maid by her side. She ordered me to pick a few smart girls to work for the Fourth Lady. The Fourth Lady can rest assured, all these girls were born in the family, and they were all raised to be servants."

Halfway through the conversation, Xuan Cao and Ling'er glared at Mama Cui with anger. How could she say there was no decent maid beside Yu Ling Long? What they are two? Are they very different? Due to Yu Ling Long's presence, neither of them made a sound, and even the stubborn Ling'er could bear the sullenness.

Yu Ling Long didn't seem to hear the contempt of Xuan Cao and Ling'er in Mama Cui's words. Yu Ling Long's gaze was only on the few maids, seeming to look at them, but also not. The four maids bowed their heads obediently, and all of them looked pleasing to the eye.

Mu Shi was picking maids for her, how could she be so kind?

Yu Ling Long sneered slightly, and she specifically gave her the children of servants. It was really 'attentive'. Did she want to fight with the lady? That lady will fight you to the end!

"They look good, then..." Yu Ling Long took the teacup brought by Xuan Cao, rinsed her mouth, and continued, "...leave them."

Mama Cui was unable to contain her joy, but she didn't dare to show it. She lowered her head and said respectfully "As long as the Fourth Lady like them, it's not a waste of Madam's kind—" Before she finished speaking, Yu Ling Long had already asked, "Since the girls are for me, where are the contracts?"

Although she didn't quite understand ancient things, she knew that if her people's destiny was in the hands of others, then these people would definitely not do things for her sincerely.

Mama Cui was taken aback. This Fourth Lady was really not a fool! "This...the contracts is in the hands of the lady..." After being swept away by Yu Ling Long's beautiful eyes, Mama Cui fell silent unknowingly.

"Since you sent me girls, you have to show some sincerity, don't you think?" Although Yu Ling Long's words did not show power, they still made Mama Cui cold and sweaty.

"Yes, yes. Maybe the lady has forgotten. I will go back to remind the lady." Mama Cui replied again and left Pinlan Garden as if running away.

Looking at the four maids who were still standing in the yard, and then glancing at the enraged Xuan Cao and Ling'er on the side, Yu Ling Long couldn't help but smile. "Xuan Cao, come and train them. I'm tired. Ling'er, help me into the room." After saying these words, Yu Ling Long got up and left.

The stiff expression on Xuan Cao's face could not help but relax. The young lady didn't even ask the names of these maids, but she gave them to her directly, indicating that the lady did not value them, and her most trusted ones were Xuan Cao and Ling'er.
