Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

After Li Xue fired the new boy, the doctors were also sent away politely. But her sudden intimidating behavior like that had stirred a storm in the house.

Although the old staff was patient to believe that Li Xue might have her reasons to fire the boy, there were many new recruits in the house who were not too familiar to her.

And they simply perceived her as the arrogant one given how she treated a poor guy. People were judgmental and people of such common masses were more skilled in that part.

"I had heard so much about her before, never thought she would be this kind of lady. How can she fire him just like that? Did she not know what struggle we have to go through to get this job here?"

"I don't know which kind hearted woman we have been told about, but let me tell you she is the coldest one I have ever seen."

"I have heard that she has recently come to know that she is a royal by blood. Maybe her royal title has made her arrogant."

"Rich people have got everything served on a golden platter, so they just don't want to understand how tough life actually is. She is also the same as everyone else."

"For Heaven's sake, she is just pregnant. What's so hype about that? Every woman becomes pregnant after marriage and morning sickness is common. Why does she have to pretend like she is carrying the weight of the whole world on her shoulders?"

"Because she is actually carrying the future of the family. And don't you know what big responsibility that is?" Suddenly an aged strict voice rang and every other went silent.

It was no other but Sister Margaret. While everyone was backlashing Li Xue, one of the old maids went to report it to her. Being the Housekeeper, how could she sit back and let these people do such offensive things?

As Sister Margaret walked closer, her eyes reprimandingly looked at the group who didn't even know the basic decorum of work. "What made you think that you can talk like that about our masters? Did you forget about whom you were talking about?"

"Sister Margaret, we were simply talking among ourselves."

One of the maids said but the old lady cut her words in the middle and said, "Talking among yourselves? Do you think you can do that? Did you even attain the training coming here or did you simply come to cut the so-called struggles you were boasting about?"

The maids were at once embarrassed. They knew the old lady's authority and at the same time they knew they were wrong. Now, they feared how the situation would end up. Because as they had said, they really didn't want to lose the job for which they have worked hard for.

"Sister Margaret, we were at fault. Please forgive us. We were just sympathizing with the boy. He is forced to leave the job when he has an old and sick mother to look after."

"Yes, Sister Margaret. We didn't want to talk back about Madam. But we were feeling bad for him. Can't we do anything to make him stay? He is really poor and needs to look after his old mother."

The maids said but Sister Margaret's expressions remained firm as if her heart has become all cold towards such people. "He deserved what he got. Haven't you all gotten instructions while coming here? The set of rules that you all needed to follow. How come acting out of the rules is not a punishable offense?"

Sister Margaret said. But the two maids were still not satisfied. Trying to make the old lady believe that they weren't wrong about Li Xue, one of them spoke again, "But Sister Margaret, if Madam ..."

But before they could hardly begin, they were shushed out by the sudden appearance of Feng Yi Lan. They didn't expect her to come but since she was already there, they could only pull their heads down in respect.

When Sister Margaret saw them like that, she slowly turned to look. Finding Feng Yi Lan there, she gave a bow to greet, "Second Young Miss!"

Feng Yi Lan didn't reply to her greeting. Instead, her eyes stared at the two maids as her lips curled up in a scornful laugh. "What are your two names?"

The maids were at once befuddled. Shaking their heads, they were ready to apologize when Feng Yi Lan simply chuckled and said, "Let it be. There will be no use of knowing the dead people's names."

Faces turned pale and immediately, the two went on her knees, "Second Young Miss, we are sorry, we didn't mean to speak out of our line. We are sorry. Please spare our lives. From today on, we won't say anything. Please don't kill us."

They begged, thinking that now not just their jobs were at stake but also their lives. But little did they know that their lives were never at the aim of Feng Yi Lan. Though their life could have been at stake if it had been Feng Shufen. But since it was not him, Feng Yi Lan could let them go easily. But that easy never meant she was kind, rather it only signifies that she has her own ways.

Her smile deepened as she saw the two girls down on her knees, "You know what your guy's problems are. It's not the poverty through which you have struggles but the mindset you made. You guys think yourselves so hardworking that the rest of the world apart from you becomes all incapable. And with such a mindset, even if a angel will come to save your life, you will take her as a devil after your life."

"And the same happened today. Being nice in her heart, Li Xue saved one of you, but here you guys are blaming her for being cruel and heartless. Do you think she fired a mere servant just to boost her arrogance?" Feng Yi Lan question but didn't wait for them to answer. "Heh! If she really wanted to punish him, she would have let my brother deal with it instead of speaking in between. If she would really have been cruel, in the name of firing, she would have let him go back to his struggles. She would not have transferred him back to work in the main mansion."

She said and now that they heard her saying it that way, the maids realize that they were missing the major thing in between. It was true the boy earlier was not totally fired. Instead, the lady transferred him back to the main mansion.

Feng Yi Lan gave a contemptuous smile as she spoke with great disdain. "But then again, there is where the difference lies. You guys are just too short sighted to understand these things. Or, you can say that you people are simply not capable enough to get this. So, what are you even doing here?"

Before the two maids could understand anything, she turned to look at Sister Margaret and ordered, "Sister Margaret, I think their struggles of life are too expensive for us, Fengs, to afford. Please dismiss them and send them back to their rightful places."

The maids panicked but it was already too late. Giving her words, Feng Yi Lan already walked away. While behind, Sister Margaret gave a nod of her head.
