Chapter 2100: Chapter 2100: Having an Extremely Glib Tongue
âYou twoâŠâ
âAuntie Ting He, are you busy?â
Ting He was about to instruct two maids on several matters, but her words were interrupted by a voice.
Turning her head, she saw a face she very much didnât wish to seeâWang Huaâer, the maid beside the third Miss Xue Manyu, who was referred to as Sister Hua by the other maids in Miss Manyuâs courtyard.
This maidâs cultivation level wasnât up to par, but she had quite the slick tongue, managing to coax Miss Manyu, an insufferably arrogant young lady, into obedient compliance.
âSo itâs Miss Wang. Do you have business in Madamâs quarters?â Although her face carried a smile, her eyes were as indifferent as could be while she inquired, looking at Wang Huaâer.
Wang Huaâerâs mouth twitched slightly, knowing that Auntie Ting He did not favor her, but she was not afraid.
âAuntie Ting He, I heard youâve been seeking servants to head to Reflection Cliff to take care of the third Miss. I wonder, have you found anyone willing to go?â she asked first.
She was sure no one would be willing to go to Reflection Cliff; the days spent there were far from comfortableâutterly miserable, in fact.
Apart from her, probably no one else within Tufeng Sect would be willing to go, right?
âThe austerity of Reflection Cliff is understandable, and itâs only natural for people to be reluctant to go. Miss Ting He, IâŠâ
Just as she was about to proudly declare that Auntie Ting He likely hadnât found anyone, and that she herself was willing to go, she heard Auntie Ting He speak.
âTaking care of the third Miss is an honor for everyone; who would be unwilling to go?â
âWhat?â
Wang Huaâer thought she had misheard and couldnât help blurting out a question.
Who would be willing to go to Reflection Cliff? Were it not for her intent to curry favor with the third Miss and wait for her return from Reflection Cliff to be treated as a sister, she wouldnât be willing either.
âAuntie Ting He, what are you saying? Are there people willing to go?â
How could she believe it? It must be a lie from Auntie Ting Heâshe had rushed over as soon as she caught wind of the search; how could anyone be less enthusiastic about going than her?
However, upon seeing the other two maids beside Ting He, she suddenly understood.
It must be these two maids who were willing to go to Reflection Cliff to tend to the third Miss, right? She knew these two; they were the ones who usually served Madam Xue and were most obedient to her orders.
To make her believe that these two maids were going to serve the third Miss?
Of course, she wouldnât believe itâtheir true intention was more than likely to harm the third Miss.
âAuntie Ting He, how can we trouble two sisters with the matter of the third Miss? They are needed to serve Madam, after all. I have always served the third Miss and am most familiar with her care. Why not let me go instead? It isnât good to divide Madamâs servants between two places.â
Her mouth twitched slightly as she looked at Auntie Ting He and said.
Although she knew it was unlikely Auntie Ting He would heed her, she still had to say it; even if she ended up not going to Reflection Cliff, she wanted everyone to know that she had tried, but no one was willing to let her serve the third Miss.
That way, when the third Miss came back, she would still have an explanation.
âSister Huaâer, what kind of talk is that? It is exactly because Madam cares for the third Miss that she is sending us to serve her. Your words seem to imply that Madam, as a mother, doesnât care for her own daughter,â said one of the maids standing behind Auntie Ting He, her smile not reaching her eyes as she looked at Wang Huaâer.
âThat⊠Sister, you misunderstand my meaning. I did not say that.â
Wang Huaâer inwardly cursed. Was this person intentionally twisting her words to provoke the Madam into blaming her?
