She usually maintained a gentle demeanor, but the servants would not treat her any more intimately because of it.
Now, feeling both angry and anxious, with a hint of inferiority in her heart, she suddenly snapped, "Shut up, donât you think I can see for myself?"
The servant glanced at her, said nothing, and quietly withdrew.
An Yan, scolded early in the morning and seeing her daughter in this state, had no mood to eat breakfast.
She didnât let the servants help, and with some difficulty, supported her daughter to the second-floor bedroom to clean up.
It wasnât until she left that the few servants in the house began to chat.
"Sister Li, donât take it to heart, sheâs that kind of person..." Someone quietly comforted Sister Li, who was just scolded.
They were all hired when Liu Qinghe was still around and have been here for several years, watching Chong Yuji grow up.
Shortly after the familyâs matriarch left, Mr. Chong brought this one into the house. She even brought a girl about the same age as the Miss.
These middle-aged women, well-versed in all the dramatic stories of wealthy families, instantly imagined a tale of love and hate.
In peopleâs hearts, there is always a sense of closeness or distance, and in this regard, the An mother and daughter naturally suffered.
Not to mention, they both had an identity that couldnât be seen in the light of day.
Although the servants outwardly said nothing, they couldnât bring themselves to feel close to these two women.
If An Yan could have maintained her gentle image, it would have been fine, but now she canât hold it together, acting like a madam, making the servants look down on her even more.
Sister Li shook her head lightly, "Just a woman with no status following Mr. Chong, does she really think sheâs become Madam Chong? The eldest young lady is still here! And for all the time sheâs been here, Mr. Chong has never mentioned giving her a title, yet she dares to act with airs?"
As Sister Li spoke, the others covered their mouths and laughed.
The logic was solid.
With the eldest young lady present, these two mother and daughter, whatever stunts they tried to pull, would have to see if the eldest young lady would agree!
Sister Li recalled An Wenâs appearance just now and couldnât help showing a look of disdain, "Did you see how Miss An looked just now? I saw hickeys all over her neck and she reeked of alcohol. As far as I remember, she doesnât even have a boyfriend."
Another person chimed in, "If my daughter dared do that, Iâd break her legs!"
"..."
They chatted idly for a bit before dispersing.
...
Gu Shengyin finished breakfast with her grandfather and the others. With nothing to do, she took the Wolf King from her grandfatherâs house for a walk.
The Wolf King wasnât actually a wolf, but a majestic big dog.
The Wolf King, standing, was as tall as Gu Shengyinâs chest, with fierce eyes and sharp teeth. It was said to have wolf lineage and could easily scare a bunch of kids to tears.
However, the Wolf King was very fond of Gu Shengyin. When she held its leash, it was obedient and not a bit aggressive.
Gu Shengyin took a walk with the Wolf King, and as they passed a small path, the Wolf King suddenly became agitated.
Its body crouched low, growling in a certain direction, clearly showing signs of facing an enemy.
At the same time, the sound of barking came from the opposite side.
Gu Shengyin focused her eyes and saw a figure holding a leash as well.
Seeing the dog, Gu Shengyin understood why the Wolf King reacted that way.
A Tibetan Mastiff.
