Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 769 Another Bad Idea

Bai Shao stood there with her body cold, looking at the silly and crazy appearance of Nanny Ping and Shan Cha, her hands shaking uncontrollably.

It’s over. Could it be her turn next?

She is still so young, she doesn't want to become a fool or a lunatic!

In the past, Gu Qianhan was very polite to his sister-in-law Meng Yunlan, and never lost his temper with the maids and nannies around Meng Yunlan. People outside said that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and whoever dared to offend him would be humiliated by him.

But those who served Meng Yunlan never thought that Gu Qianhan was so cold, because they occasionally offended him, but as long as he knew that they were Meng Yunlan's people, he would let them go without even scolding them.

But unexpectedly, Meng Yunlan's face is no longer useful now, because Gu Qianhan now cares more about the face of the second young master's wife.

Nanny Ping and Shan Cha had not offended Gu Qianhan at all, yet they were taken away by his men and forced to drink some secret medicine!

This time, she was lucky and did not follow Meng Yunlan, so she escaped. What about next time?

The more Bai Shao thought about it, the more frightened she became. She even had an urge to run away!

But it was impossible for her to escape, as her indenture was still in Meng Yunlan's hands, and she had nowhere to escape to.

The only thing she could do now was to stop offending Shen Wantang, so that she wouldn't die without knowing how.

Bai Shao slumped to her knees and said in a tearful voice, "Madam, the Second Young Master has changed. In his heart, the Second Young Master's wife holds the highest status. You'd better not go against her, or else the Second Young Master will do something undecided!"

"Snapped!"

Meng Yunlan raised his hand and slapped Bai Shao in the face, knocking her to the ground.

"What the hell! You're just a slave, and you dare to lecture me?! Who said Shen Wantang has the highest status? What status can she, a concubine's daughter, have?!"

Bai Shao hurriedly covered her face and climbed up: "I dare not! I know I am wrong!"

Meng Yunlan usually appears gentle and tolerant to others and would not hit anyone easily, but whenever she hits someone, it means she is extremely angry.

Bai Shao was so frightened that she quickly explained, "I was worried that you would suffer a loss against the Second Young Master's wife. After all, you are honest and kind, not good at those intrigues. And the Second Young Master's wife is scheming and good at tricking the Second Young Master into standing up for her. The situation is very unfavorable for you!"

Meng Yunlan said coldly, "She, Shen Wantang, is nothing but a person who relies on her good looks to temporarily confuse Qianhan."

"No matter how talented Qianhan is, he's still a man, a man who has never touched a woman before. Now that he's just started having sex, it's normal for him to be attracted to women."

"It's just women, there are plenty of them! Since Shen Wantang is against me in every way, I will find Qianhan someone who dares not to oppose me."

"Everyone in this Duke's Mansion must listen to me! Qianhan must listen to me, and his woman must listen to me too! No one can get past me!"

Seeing that she was so determined to do what she wanted and refused to listen to advice, Bai Shao felt hopeless for a moment.

She could almost foresee that her future would be not much different from Shancha's.

She has been with Meng Yunlan for many years and knows that she has a strong desire for control. If anyone does not give her face, she will try every means to humiliate the other person.

In the past, she had indeed never encountered any powerful opponents, because she was not stupid and would not cause trouble for people with higher status than her. She would only humiliate those who were not as good as her, so she had always been smooth sailing.

But now, it was obvious that she was no match for Shen Wantang. It was just that Shen Wantang's status and position were indeed inferior to hers, so she didn't take Shen Wantang seriously at all.

At first, she just didn't want Shen Wantang to give birth to the child before her.

She was strong-willed in everything and took it for granted that the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion must be born by her, so she wanted to prevent Shen Wantang from giving birth - to make her overworked, to let her get caught in the rain and catch a cold, to make her relationship with Gu Qianhan worse. In short, Meng Yunlan would do anything to prevent Shen Wantang from giving birth.

But as things have developed to this point, Meng Yunlan not only doesn't want Shen Wantang to have a baby, she also wants to control her brother-in-law Gu Qianhan. Her brother-in-law no longer respects her. How can she tolerate this?

"Bai Shao!"

Bai Shao shuddered: "The servant is here!"

"Go call Qiao Zhiyu over here. She eats my food, lives in my house, and even pays for her mother's medical treatment. Now, it's time for her to repay me!"

"Yes, I'll go call my cousin right away!"

Although Bai Shao thought that Meng Yunlan's idea was another bad one, she didn't dare to say anything more and immediately went to call for help.

It is better to let Qiao Zhiyu bear Meng Yunlan's anger than for her to bear it herself. She has heard the saying that it is better to let a fellow Taoist die than to let herself die!

Soon, Qiao Zhiyu arrived.

As soon as she entered the door, Meng Yunlan hit her on the head with a tea bowl.

But Qiao Zhiyu knew Meng Yunlan too well, and was prepared. He turned his head and dodged.

The tea bowl fell to the ground with a sharp sound and broke into pieces.

Shancha, who was standing by, was already acting crazy, and after being frightened like this, she started screaming like a madman.

Nanny Ping was even more dumbfounded. She looked at the broken porcelain on the ground, picked up a piece, and scratched her neck with it foolishly.

Qiao Zhiyu was shocked by this horrifying scene: "Cousin, what happened to them?!"

Meng Yunlan waved his hand at Bai Shao in annoyance: "Hurry up and take them away! They're just an eyesore here!"

Bai Shao quickly called someone in and dragged Nanny Ping and Shan Cha out.

After the door closed, Meng Yunlan coldly asked Qiao Zhiyu: "Who told you to wear this dress? Didn't I tell you to throw it away? How dare you disobey me?"

Qiao Zhiyu knew very well that Meng Yunlan threw the tea bowl at her just because she didn't listen to her and wore the beautiful royal blue and gold brocade dress that Shen Wantang gave her.

However, she had already prepared an excuse: "Don't be angry, cousin, I really have nothing else to wear, so I have to wear this."

"My cousin only had one set of clothes sent to me. I thought I wouldn't be leaving the yard tonight, so I washed the one she sent me, thinking I'd quickly dry it and wear it tomorrow."

"I didn't expect my cousin to ask me to come over so suddenly. I couldn't come to see you in wet clothes, so I had to make do with this."

Meng Yunlan looked at her unkindly: "Cousin, are you blaming me for giving you too few clothes?"

"No, no, cousin, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that."

"You'd better not have any. I gave you clothes to wear, but if you are not grateful to me and even blame me, then I will have no choice but to kick you out of the Duke's Mansion. After all, I dare not keep such a white-eyed wolf around."
