40 Team villainess had gained another mber Part II
“Do you want to be my personal maid?”
Xiao Xi’s hands suddenly stopped. The puppy maid looked like she was about to cry, before realizing that she should ask for pity from her miss who she had served since before she could rember.
“Miss, miss please don’t fire . You can let Chang jiejie be your personal maid and tell to go cut logs, but please don’t fire . I promise I’ll be more careful. I won’t let you be punished again because of my mistake because I couldn’t take care of miss enough. I-”
“Stop!”
Xiao Xi closed her mouth. Her eyes were red like she could start crying at any mont.
“I just want Xiao Chang to serve . I didn’t say I’m going to fire you.” No maids had ever been able to endure Bai Yu’s temper like Xiao Xi could. Bai Yu would order them to be flogged and beat until Yue i stopped sending maids to serve her, for fear that the truth of her daughter’s character would be exposed.
But now the new Bai Yu had crossed over. That kind of mindless evil would not happen again with this Bai Yu. Also, she was the first miss of the senior chancellor, how could she have only one personal maid?!
“Miss...” Xiao Xi cried as she crawled to hug Bai Yu’s leg. “I thought you’re going to fire because I was the reason you got punished.”
Bai Yu sighed. “That has nothing to do with you at all.” It was all because of that commander general.
.....
“Then why would miss want jiejie to be your personal maid?” Xiao Xi wiped away her tears then moved closer to sit on the floor beside Xiao Chang who had been waiting quietly in front of Bai Yu.
“I saw you communicated with your eyes. Seems like both of you are quite close, so I think I won’t have to worry if I let you two help with important jobs.”
Bai Yu already expected that Xiao Xi would tell her to stand before the ti was up, while at the sa ti finding a way to conceal it from her mother. However, she did not think Xiao Xi would cooperate with Xiao Chang.
“What kind of job, miss.” Xiao Xi looked at her with wide eyes.
“Rather than that job, you should care more about whether your jiejie will co to serve or not.” Bai Yu was tired of her maid’s sense of priority.
“If it is miss’s wish, tomorrow I will ask for permission from the first Furen.” Xiao Chang answered obediently. There was no gladness or unwillingness in her expression.
This was what made Bai Yu choose her. In the future, she would need soone close who can help her. Xiao Xi was sotis too naive. She would end up becoming a weakness that Bai Hua exploited to destroy Bai Yu like in the series.
This ti, she needed a maid who was clever and knew manners well, soone who did not talk too much or too little, soone who knew how and when to act. If one day, the event in the series ca true and Xiao Xi was fooled by Bai Hua, there would still be Xiao Chang to watch over Xiao Xi. Furthermore, it looked like she was quite a few years older than Bai Yu and Xiao Xi.
“If you’re willing, then I’ll ask mother myself.” Bai Yu’s eyes t with the maid’s calm ones.
“I am willing, miss.”
Team villainess had gained another mber.
——————————-
“I’m very happy that miss gives Chang jiejie a chance,” her little Xiao Xi said while preparing Bai Yu’s bed after one shichen was over and Xiao Chang left to report to her mother.
“How many years is she older than you?”
“Five years.” Xiao Xi was one year younger than Bai Yu, so Xiao Chang must be four years older than her, aning she was now twenty-one.
“Does she have a lover?”
“None. There are many male servants who like Xiao Chang jiejie, but jiejie never shows interest in any of them. It’s very strange.”
Maybe Xiao Chang liked her big brother or her father, especially when her appearance was quite easy on the eyes. Bai Yu had to be vigilant because of this place’s society and culture. Maids in every mansion were all ambitious. If there was a chance, they would grab it and never let go, like how Bai Hua’s mother, Li Rong, quickly beca Bai Han’s concubine. She made the decision without caring who she might hurt.
It was possible because of Da Yang’s tradition that won who beca mistress to married n did not feel remorse. In the series, it was explained that Bai Han liked how Li Rong was understanding, unlike Yue i who never showed interest toward him, so he decided to make her a concubine without asking Yue i’s opinion. He thought that no matter what, Yue i would not care about him.
It could be said that Li Rong was like an anchor for Bai Han whose heart was broken by Yue i.
O love, just how many people would you hurt before you were satisfied.
“But, miss, I already have soone I like.” Xiao Xi interrupted Bai Yu’s thoughts.
“Who is it?”
“I like the general!”
“Which general?”
Bai Yu frowned. There were so many minor and major generals in this nation.
“The grand general, of course.”
Blargh!
“I’m going to bed.”
“Then I’ll put out the candles.”
The light from candles was extinguished and replaced by the moonlight. Bai Yu gripped the two-layered blanket that Xiao Xi carefully laid down to help protect her from the cold. The beautiful face was smiling under the dim silver light.
When Xiao Xi talked about Ouyang Feilong, Bai Yu could not help but recall the stern Wangye’s reaction. Even when half of his face was exposed, she could notice how his expression slightly changed when she intentionally said the famous phrase from a well-known sci-fi movie in her forr life to him.
First, his brows knitted together for a slight mont. Then, there was a huff sounded from his throat. And finally, Ouyang Feilong rode his horse away under the bright, round moon.
The next day Bai Yu woke up to get dressed since early morning. In the first few days that she transmigrated here, she had surprised her maids by rarely wearing elegant clothes.
But now she was both the new and original Bai Yu. And to be the eye candy villainess, beauty would be the first priority obviously!
“Miss, do you really want to throw all this away?” Xiao Xi asked her young lady who was concentrating on copying the ‘Noble Lady Virtues’, her newly appointed personal maid was grounding an inkstick beside her.
Today, miss let Xiao Xi dress her up so beautifully. Even when she added accessories to her hair, she did not take anything off like when they were at the village or before she went to the temple. Still, her miss insisted on wearing a dark blue dress woven with thick fabric that had light embroidery patterns, making it harder to stain. As for the dresses that had light and pastel color or those with embroidered flowers, her miss threw them all out. ‘Such a sha!’ Xiao Xi thought.
“You two can keep any dress you like. For the rest, give half of them to other maids in the mansion, and the other half donate them to villagers who were in need of clothes. It’s getting cold.”
If she were to give them to her half-sisters, they would surely think Bai Yu had laced the dresses with poison and never dared to wear it. It was an abundance of clothes, so she thought it was best to give it out to others who are less fortunate.
“But miss’s dress...”
“From now on, my clothes will have new patterns and styles. I don’t want these dresses that make look like every other lady in the capital.”
Bai Yu was a world-class villainess. Even though this kind of ancient Chinese clothing was beautiful, it was identical to those of typical noble ladies. It would be an insult to the pride of soone like her, who ca from the era of fashion. She had to look good with her own style!
Her father was more than wealthy. She did not need to worry about what she did with the money or how she used it. Bai Yu would design her own clothes and had them made new.
But! That would have to be after she finished copying this stupid book...The villainess wanted to cry out loud!!
