From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Chun Tao's shrill voice rang out outside the woodshed: "Bi Yao! Come out and get to work! The sun's already high in the sky!" Bi Yao had been awake for a while; she hadn't slept much all night, having been thinking about Liu Fu and Jiang Yao's conspiracy.

She rubbed her sore shoulders and slowly walked out of the woodshed.

Chun Tao shoved a pile of heavy tools into Bi Yao's hands with a look of disgust: "Trim all the flowers in the garden today, and hurry up! If you miss lunch, you'll be starving!" Bi Yao looked at the pile of tools, which was taller than her, and smiled slightly: "Okay."

The garden is large and there are many flowers; this work cannot be completed in a short time.

Chun Tao was clearly trying to give her a hard time.

Bi Yao wasn't annoyed; she silently began to work.

Despite her slender build, she moved with surprising agility and efficiency.

Not long after, Jiang Yao, accompanied by a group of maids, walked over gracefully.

She spotted Bi Yao working diligently at a glance, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"Oh, isn't this our Jiang family's new maid? What, after spending the whole night in the woodshed, haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Jiang Yao deliberately walked up to a patch of flower seedlings that Bi Yao had just planted, raised her foot, and stomped on it hard.

The delicate flower seedlings were instantly crushed and broken into several pieces.

The surrounding maids covered their mouths and snickered, waiting to see Bi Yao make a fool of herself.

Bi Yao put down her tools and calmly walked up to Jiang Yao: "Second Miss, these seedlings may be small, but they are still the property of the Jiang family. If the old lady finds out that you are trampling on them so carelessly, she will probably be unhappy."

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, not expecting Bi Yao to say that.

She originally intended to make Bi Yao kneel down and beg for mercy, and then humiliate her severely.

Bi Yao's current composed demeanor made her feel like she had punched cotton.

"You...you dare threaten me?" Jiang Yao said, her voice trembling with fear.

Bi Yao smiled faintly: "Second Miss, you flatter me. I'm just stating the facts."

Jiang Yao glanced guiltily at the maids around her, then at the flower seedlings she had trampled, gritted her teeth, turned around, and flung her sleeves away: "Hmph! Let's go!"

Watching Jiang Yao and her group leave, Bi Yao's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

She bent down, straightened the trampled seedlings, and gently patted off the soil.

At that moment, a furtive figure appeared at the garden gate; it was Liu Fu.

He looked at Bi Yao, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes...

"Why is she still laughing?" he muttered to himself.

Liu Fu squinted, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.

This girl, she didn't cry or make a fuss, she could even laugh?

Is it...

What did she know?

A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He thought of the silver he had embezzled; what if this girl found out...

No, we have to strike first!

He smiled sinisterly, carrying a bucket of dirty water to the path that Bi Yao had just cleaned. With a "splash," the dirty water splashed everywhere, and the once clean ground was instantly turned into a mess.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, it slipped." Liu Fu apologized insincerely, but his eyes were full of malice.

Bi Yao looked up at him, her eyes as clear as a deep pool, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

She said nothing, silently picked up the broom, and started sweeping again.

Liu Fu watched her busy figure, a smug smile appearing on his lips.

You little punk, trying to mess with me?

You are still young!

Back in the woodshed, Bi Yao pulled out a pile of old, worn-out clothes.

These were all left behind by the original owner, and had long been discarded by the other maids out of disgust.

Bi Yao's eyes lit up; these were all treasures!

She picked up a needle and thread, skillfully disassembling, piecing together, and sewing old clothes. Before long, exquisite little ornaments were born: lifelike dolls, brightly colored hair accessories, and delicate sachets...

The other maids were all envious when they saw the little trinkets Bi Yao made, and they all gathered around to ask her for advice.

Bi Yao also generously shared her skills with everyone.

For a moment, the woodshed was filled with laughter and cheerful chatter.

Chun Tao hid in a corner, watching Bi Yao being surrounded by everyone, her eyes red with jealousy.

Why!

Why is such a lowly maid so popular?

In the stillness of the night, Bi Yao carefully put away the small ornaments she had made, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

It seems that the first step in establishing a foothold in the Chiang family has already been taken.

She blew out the oil lamp and was about to rest when suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a shrill voice: "The old lady wants to check the rooms! Everyone, pack your things!"

Bi Yao was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at a wooden box under the bed...

The news of the old lady's surprise inspection swept through the Jiang family compound like a gust of wind, causing chaos among the servants who scrambled to hide their personal belongings.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chun Tao slipped into Bi Yao's woodshed and stuffed a glittering gold bracelet into a wooden box under Bi Yao's bed.

This bracelet is Jiang Yao's treasure. If it's discovered, Bi Yao will be in deep trouble!

She hid outside the door, seemingly already picturing Bi Yao being caned, and felt a surge of secret pleasure.

But who is Bi Yao?

For a seasoned transmigrator like her, these little tricks were child's play.

She had already noticed Chun Tao's furtive movements and discreetly moved the bracelet into her sleeve.

As soon as Chuntao left, she immediately slipped into Chuntao's room and stuffed the bracelet under her pillow.

perfect!

Jiang arrived in a grand procession with a large entourage of servants, causing chaos and destruction wherever they went.

When she entered Chun Tao's room and lifted the pillow, the gold bracelet was revealed!

Chun Tao froze on the spot, her face paler than if it had been plastered with lime.

"This...this...this isn't mine!" she stammered, but the more she tried to explain, the worse it got.

Jiang was no pushover; she immediately ordered her men to drag Chun Tao away and give her a good beating!

As Bi Yao listened to Chun Tao's screams in the woodshed, she silently gave herself a thumbs up: Serves you right for framing me! You've really messed up now!

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

A servant sneakily approached Bi Yao, his face full of grievance: "Sister Bi Yao, that old bastard Liu Fu has withheld our wages again!" Bi Yao's eyes lit up, and an idea came to her: "Go tell the master that..." The servant immediately understood and ran to the master's study to complain.

As expected, Liu Fu was severely reprimanded by the master. Bi Yao silently hummed a little tune in her heart: I love how you can't stand me but can't do anything about it!

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

Jiang Yao wasn't one to give up easily. She couldn't swallow her anger and started plotting how to get back at Bi Yao.

Her eyes lit up, an idea came to her, and she ran off crying to find Mrs. Jiang...

"Grandma, you must do me justice!"
