I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Jia Cheng looked at Yingchun, who was only accompanied by a maid and a nanny, and thought to himself that Mrs. Wang had been living a comfortable life recently, and it was time to expose the evil things she had done.

As long as the fact that Mrs. Wang treated Yingchun harshly was exposed, it would not only help Yingchun, but also make Mrs. Wang suffer.

Jia Cheng is a petty person who never misses any opportunity to strike the enemy.

Jia Cheng raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile. He pretended to be concerned and asked, "Second sister, why did you only bring so few servants with you today? Where are the other maids?"

You have to know that as the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, she must have at least three or four maids serving her every time she goes out, in order to appear respectable.

Looking back to the past, when Yuanchun was at home, she had to be accompanied by at least two first-class maids, two second-class maids, and several little maids, and a nanny, before she could go out.

Even though the Rongguo Mansion no longer has its former glory, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse after all.

Yingchun should at least be like Lin Daiyu, with four maids and a nanny around her.

Yuanchun's pomp and circumstance actually indicated the decline of the Rongguo Mansion.

Looking back to the past, when Jia Min was in her boudoir, the scene was truly spectacular!

Every step she took, there would be seven or eight maids following closely behind her, and two maids serving her carefully. She was truly a spoiled child.

But now it was Yingchun's turn, but she only brought two people with her.

Although Yingchun was born out of wedlock, she was at least the daughter of a first-rank general. In terms of status and position, she was more prominent and noble than Yuanchun, the eldest daughter of a fifth-rank official.

It doesn’t matter whether the woman is born of a legitimate or illegitimate family. The most important thing is to see what position her father holds.

Yingchun has a higher status than Yuanchun, but no one pays attention to her, so she has become a poor little thing.

The people who served Yingchun were all arranged by Lady Wang when she was the housekeeper, and Lady Xing had never taken care of them at all.

Later, when Mrs. Xing became the housekeeper, she devoted all her attention to Jia Cheng and paid no attention to this concubine's daughter.

She already disliked those concubines, so how could she care too much about the little illegitimate daughter born by an concubine?

But now Jia Cheng wants to meddle in other people's business and expose Mrs. Wang's vicious heart.

Jia Cheng then pulled at the corner of Mrs. Xing's clothes, blinked his clear eyes, and asked innocently: "Madam, why is there only this one maidservant around my second sister? Where are the others?

This is too irresponsible. If outsiders knew about this, they would laugh at us, the Rongguo Mansion, for not being able to control our servants.

These slaves are bullying their masters. They don’t even follow their masters when they go out. They might even be lazing around in the house.”

Mrs. Xing hugged Jia Cheng lovingly, pulled him out of Jia She's arms and held him in her own arms.

She rubbed Jia Cheng's fair face with care and loved her son's little adult look.

"Shuanbao, you are right. Those servants who betrayed their masters should be punished. Look at you, at such a young age, you can still seek justice for your sister. You are worthy of being my son."

Jia She was also full of praise, as if everything Jia Cheng did was worthy of praise.

Yingchun's face turned pale and her body trembled slightly. She felt very ashamed. She was incompetent and could not control the maids in the house.

Those maids were all extremely arrogant. Except for Siqi who truly cared about her, the others either used their connections to serve elsewhere or got married.

Mrs. Wang didn't pay much attention to Yingchun, so she didn't give her a maid in time.

At present, there are only two or three kittens serving in Yingchun's room, but they all have bad tempers and none of them regard Yingchun as their master.

There were even people who withheld Yingchun's monthly salary, making life very difficult for her as a young lady.

When Siqi heard Jia Cheng's righteous speech, she felt particularly relieved and decided to punish those disloyal servants.

Siqi mustered up the courage to stand up and started to complain.

"In reply to Third Master, there are only four maids serving in Second Miss's room now, and there is a maid sweeping the yard, and there is no one else."

Jia She became a little angry when he heard this. Although he looked down on Yingchun as his daughter, he would not allow her to be bullied by others.

So she ordered Mrs. Xing, "Check what's going on in Yingchun's courtyard? Why are there so few servants?"

Mrs. Xing nodded in agreement. Even if Jia She didn't say anything, if Jia Cheng spoke up, she would investigate what was going on in Yingchun's courtyard.

Nanny Li bit her lip and lowered her head, but her angry eyes kept looking at Siqi from time to time.

She cursed in her heart, "This damn little bitch is so talkative. If the eldest lady goes to the second lady's room to investigate, she won't find out that she stole things." She was thinking about how she could explain herself.

Yingchun came to visit Jia Cheng, and although she only took a bottle of rose water, she gained a lot.

Siqi was even more satisfied, but Nanny Li was the only one who was trembling with fear, fearing that what she had done would be discovered.

The system was a little puzzled, [Brother Cheng, didn't you say you didn't want to take care of Yingchun's affairs? Why are you asking your mother to help now? Are you being hard on the outside but soft on the inside?]

Jia Cheng rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Tongzi, don't talk nonsense. I was just repaying her for a favor. I just said a few words."

Even if I didn't say it, Yingchun and Daiyu were getting along well and Daiyu would have noticed it.

As long as Daiyu told Jia Min that Yingchun's servants were neglecting their duties, Jia Min would start to meddle in their affairs.

I am now doing a favor and asking my mother to investigate Yingchun's affairs to gain a good reputation.

By the way, I'll bring up all the bad things that Lady Wang did when she was the housekeeper for everyone to see, to establish my mother's authority.

Isn't this the best of both worlds? I didn't help Yingchun at all, she just did it by the way.

With Yingchun's personality, she won't have a good life no matter how many maids are assigned to serve her.

She was completely spoiled by Nanny Li, and I don’t know if she is still worth saving.]

What Jia Cheng hates most is people like Yingchun, who can't seize the opportunities given to her.

In his heart, the maid Siqi is better than Yingchun. At least she knows how to seize the opportunity to gain benefits for her mistress.

But Yingchun could do nothing except shivering with a pale face.

If Yingchun took this opportunity to complain about Nanny Li, Jia Cheng would still look upon her with a higher regard, but in the end she said nothing.

Jia Cheng felt that this kind of wimp was of no value at all, and even when he tried to tiptoe around on him, his feet felt sticky.

In comparison, he had a good impression of Lin Daiyu.

Although the system asked him to save Lin Daiyu, he also took advantage of the system's love for Lin Daiyu to gain a lot of benefits.

Moreover, Lin Daiyu is a really good child. She is confident because she is with her mother. She speaks and acts cheerfully and generously. She is not as sensitive as she appears in the original book.

Sometimes Daiyu speaks directly and without much scheming, but sometimes she can consider the overall situation and take other people's feelings into consideration, so Jia Cheng does not feel tired when communicating with her.

As for Lin Daiyu's temper, Jia Cheng did not feel it. Maybe she took out her temper on Jia Baoyu.

After dinner, Jia Cheng was taken to Rongqing Hall by a maid sent by Grandmother Jia, while Mrs. Xing hurried to Yingchun's courtyard.

When she entered the courtyard, she saw a mess: the ground was covered with dirt and fallen leaves and no one had swept it; when she entered the room, there was no sign of the maids.

The tea in the teapot had already gone cold, and the teacups were placed randomly, some of them even had some leftover tea, making them look dirty.

Mrs. Xing was furious when she saw this, and ordered Siqi to call out all the lazy maids and interrogate them one by one.

After receiving the order, Siqi smiled happily and immediately ran to the servants' room and pulled over all the maids who were chatting or sleeping.

The maids looked unhappy and seemed to be quite resentful about being disturbed.

Mrs. Xing was furious when she saw these maids who were untidy and lazy. Without hesitation, she ordered the old women behind her to grab them and slap them hard.

Mrs. Xing listened to the maids begging for mercy and proudly flaunted her authority as the housekeeper.

After a severe interrogation, Mrs. Xing learned that these three maids were arranged by Mrs. Wang, and their parents were the managers of Mrs. Wang's farm!

This expected discovery made Mrs. Xing feel that she had caught Mrs. Wang's tail.

Mrs. Xing smiled at Yingchun, and a rare hint of kindness appeared on her originally cold and harsh face.

Then, pretending to be grief-stricken and tearful, she choked up and said to Yingchun:

"My poor child, you have suffered so much! It's all your fault, your cruel and heartless aunt, for finding you such unworthy servants to serve you.

But don't be afraid. I, your wife, am here to support you and will never let you suffer any injustice for no reason.

Humph, I will immediately arrange a few capable and reliable maids for you. As for these three hateful slaves, they will naturally receive the punishment they deserve!"

However, in fact, Mrs. Xing tried for a long time but couldn't squeeze out a single real tear. In the end, she simply gave up pretending to cry - after all, it was too tiring.

Then, Madam Xing ordered Wang Shanbao, the housekeeper, to take the three maids away for detailed interrogation and strictly ordered them to tell the truth whether Madam Wang had intentionally made things difficult for and abused her niece from the next room.

Before Mrs. Xing could find Nanny Li to question her, the clever and intelligent Nanny Li had already knelt down obediently and sensibly to express her absolute loyalty to Mrs. Xing.

She was originally a servant left behind by Yingchun's biological mother, and was not assigned by Lady Wang.

“Madam, I know how badly those maids sent by the Second Madam treated the Second Miss. If I hadn’t protected her, the Second Miss wouldn’t have lived to this age.

I know all the crimes of those people. I am willing to be a vanguard for the Madam and will take good care of the Second Miss in the future."

Mrs. Xing was very pleased with Nanny Li's understanding, so she let him go easily.

Siqi was a little indignant and wanted to expose Nanny Li's true face to Madam Xing. Her eyebrows were raised, and she showed her fierce attitude at such a young age.

"Madam, Nanny Li is lying. She always steals the second young lady's jewelry and sells it. She is not nice to the young lady and she always drinks and plays around with money."

When Nanny Li heard that her past was exposed, she was so angry that she wanted to tear her old man's mouth apart. She threw herself at Madam Xing's feet and cried in her defense.

"Madam, I am innocent. I was the wet nurse chosen by Aunt Ma for the Second Miss. The Second Miss grew up drinking my milk. How could I not feel sorry for her?

This little bitch who was struck by lightning was sent by the second wife to monitor me. She can't bear to see me doing well. If she gets rid of me, she can be the only one in charge.

Madam, please understand, I am innocent. The maid sent by Madam No. 2 did not give Miss a monthly salary. I sold my jewelry to buy things for Miss.

Siqi and Nanny Li were arguing with each other, and both of them said that they were good to Yingchun and wished they could kill the other.

Mrs. Xing watched the show with a smile on her face, while Yingchun was like a quail, not saying a word.

She felt ashamed when her servants scolded her in front of the eldest wife.

Mrs. Xing had seen enough of the show and did not say anything about dealing with Siqi or Nanny Li. She just told them to take good care of the Second Young Miss and then left leisurely.

As for whether Nanny Li is really good to Yingchun, what does it have to do with her? She didn't give birth to the child.

Mrs. Xing took the confession provided by Wang Shanbao and went to Rongqing Hall to complain to Lady Jia. Lady Jia was also very angry after reading it.

Yingchun is the young lady of Rongguo Mansion. Even if she is not favored, she is not someone that the servants can bully at will.

As a result, these maids and their families suffered. Mrs. Wang added some Buddhist worship tasks and reduced the daily vegetarian diet by half.

Mrs. Wang was so embarrassed by this unexpected disaster that her face turned green.

She was already hungry, and now the vegetarian food was cut in half. Mrs. Wang felt that she would starve to death sooner or later.

Mrs. Wang hated everyone in the first wife's house, and she hated Jia Cheng the most. Every time she was in trouble, Jia Cheng's shadow was there.

In the evening, Mrs. Wang called Zhou Rui's wife and asked her to find someone to kill Jia Cheng by any means.

All the nails in Rongguo Mansion can be mobilized, there is strength in numbers.

Mrs. Wang was no longer afraid of being exposed. She was almost starving to death and didn't want to live every day. If it weren't for her child, she would have pulled Jia Cheng and jumped into the well.

Eating vegetarian food every day made Mrs. Wang feel like she had no desire to live.

Mrs. Wang spent a lot of money to kill Jia Cheng. She told Zhou Ruijia, "As long as someone succeeds, they can get a large reward. I can make that person's wish come true."

Zhou Ruijia followed orders without asking any more questions, then went out with a gloomy face to find Wang Fu-ren's thorns and arrange tasks.

If it were in the past, when Zhou Ruijia was still Jin Chuan, she might have sympathized with Jia Cheng.

But now she is married to an old man who can be her father. She lives a life worse than death every day and her mind is twisted.

She wished that all the masters of Rongguo Mansion would suffer.
