Seeing Xue Wanxian so nervous about Liu Yiyi, Zhang's eyes flashed with some dissatisfaction.

"Xian'er, I heard from the servants in the mansion that you came back yesterday afternoon?" Zhang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke casually.

An Qingqian knew that Zhang was preparing to launch an attack to hold them accountable.

"Yes, mother, I came back yesterday afternoon. I wanted to visit you earlier, but after settling Yi Yi down, I felt very tired, so I didn't come in time."

When Xue Wanxian talked about what happened yesterday afternoon, he also felt a little strange. He was obviously fine. He traveled most of the time during the day and rested at night, so he was not that tired.

But I don’t know why, after settling Liu Yiyi down, I felt mentally sleepy and extremely exhausted. I didn’t even have time to take off my clothes and fell asleep next to Liu Yiyi.

He got up very late in the morning. He asked his maid Xiao Liu why she didn't wake him up earlier. However, Liu Yiyi said that she felt sorry for his fatigue from the journey, so she took the initiative and didn't let Xiao Liu wake him up.

"So that's how it is." Zhang nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she looked at An Qingqian.

"An, what's wrong with the maids in Mingde Courtyard? As the mistress of the mansion, you can't even teach the maids well. Why don't you wake up the Marquis earlier? What time is it now?"

What does this have to do with her? Zhang is really good at finding fault with herself.

She couldn't bear to blame her son, thinking she was easy to control, so she blamed everything on herself?

Humph, that depends on whether you agree or not.

"Boyun, who was the maid who served the Marquis in Mingde Courtyard yesterday? Call her over and ask her why she didn't wake the Marquis up in the morning to greet the old lady?"

An Qingqian's tone was stern and she suddenly reprimanded, which scared everyone.

Liu Yiyi even trembled all over and looked at An Qingqian in shock and fear.

Yesterday she seemed like an easy-to-control person, why did she suddenly become like this today?

"Yes, I will send someone to ask right away. This damn little maid is so unruly and should be punished." Bo Yun also spoke indignantly.

Seeing this, Liu Yiyi was about to say that it was not necessary, but Bo Yun took two steps at a time and ran out quickly.

Seeing this, Liu Yiyi felt a little uneasy. She didn't understand why such a big fuss was necessary just because Xue Wanxian got up a little late.

Xiao Liu was quickly brought over by Bo Yun.

"I greet the old lady, the marquis, and the madam." Xiao Liu came in and knelt down with a plop.

"You are Xiao Liu, right? You were the one who served the Marquis last night?" An Qingqian used the tea lid to stir the tea leaves. Her voice was not loud, but it was full of dignity.

"To answer your question, madam, it is me." Xiao Liu nodded repeatedly.

"You clearly know the rules of the mansion, so why didn't you wake up the Marquis in the morning to greet the old lady?" An Qingqian placed the teacup heavily on the table with a "bang" sound, which startled everyone again.

Yingyi noticed that Zhang, Nanny Chen, and Liu Yiyi trembled again, and she pursed her lips, trying not to laugh.

After being frightened twice in a row, Zhang glared at An Qingqian fiercely. Just as she was about to blame her, she was interrupted by Xiao Liu.

"In reply to Madam, I went to call the Marquis this morning, but Miss Liu said that the Marquis was too tired to disturb me. She also said that if I dared to wake him up, he would punish me with twenty strokes of the cane. That's why I didn't call the Marquis."

Xiao Liu lowered his head and spoke in a wronged tone.

Hearing this, An Qingqian raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xue Wanxian, then glanced at Liu Yiyi, sneering in her heart. Xue Wanxian hasn't even given her a status yet, but he's already showing off his power as a master?

Zhang became even more dissatisfied when she heard this, but she also knew that Xiao Liu was just a little maid. She must have listened to her and not woken up Xian'er because she saw that her son loved Liu Yiyi.

She glared at Liu Yiyi and was about to blame her.

Xue Wanxian saw that something was wrong and quickly said, "Mom, this is what happened. My son knows about this, and Yi Yi is thinking about him. This is none of Yi Yi's business."

Zhang paused, looked at Liu Yiyi deeply, and thought to herself that she was indeed a powerful person. She could make Xue Wanxian break the rules and speak for her.

"Xiao Liu, you are a member of the mansion, and everything should be based on the rules of the mansion. Nanny Chen, Xiao Liu will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane, and Mingde Courtyard will be replaced with a well-behaved maid."

If she can’t deal with Liu Yiyi, can’t she deal with a little maid?

The first time Liu Yiyi came to the mansion, she refused to let her son meet her. Wasn't this a clear way to intimidate herself?

Zhang naturally wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. How could she be scared by a little vixen?

"Madam, I am innocent. It was Miss Liu who forbad me to wake up the Marquis." Xiao Liu had never thought that she was just an innocent maid, yet she would be punished without reason.

"Mother, this is my son's business. Why are you scolding a little maid?" Even if Xue Wanxian was slow-witted, he realized that Zhang was unhappy and was doing it on purpose to show him.

"Okay, are you going to blame your mother for an irrelevant person?" Zhang became even more unhappy when she heard that Xue Wanxian dared to talk back.

"Mom, I didn't mean that." Xue Wanxian looked up at his mother.

"My lord, I really didn't mean it." Xiao Liu wanted to beg for mercy, but the maid came in and covered her mouth and took her away.

Liu Yiyi had never seen such a scene before and was shocked.

It is too harsh to be beaten with twenty sticks just for not waking up the master according to the rules.

However, Liu Yiyi knew in her heart that this incident was caused by herself. Moreover, although she was pregnant, Xue Wanxian did not give her any status, so she had no position to beg for mercy.

More importantly, she knew very well that the old lady was deliberately embarrassing her.

Liu Yiyi was very confused. Before this, she had heard Xue Wanxian mention that the old lady was a very gentle and kind person, and she didn't like An Qingqian very much.

She was the person her son loved and she was pregnant. She was beaten like this just because she didn't allow the maid to wake Xue Wanxian up. Isn't this too unreasonable?

An Qingqian looked at all this and couldn't help laughing in her heart. Zhang really lived up to her expectations and confronted Liu Yiyi from the very beginning.

Seeing that Xue Wanxian and Liu Yiyi both looked unhappy, An Qingqian was extremely satisfied.

It seems that this mansion will be bustling in the future.

Liu Yiyi is not a simple person. The reason why she swallowed her anger today was just because she had just arrived and was not sure about the situation in the mansion.

After a while, when Xue Wanxian gives her a status, this play will really begin.
