She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Unlike the attitude toward Wong Qiao, Anshun’s Household was now behaving very unrighteously. Without uttering a word, they simply knelt down and then beckoned the two maidservants before retreating far away.

Ye Xinyan was so stunned she was at a loss for words. This nanny and maidservants... were they still her people? Wasn’t Anshun’s Household part of the noble and prestigious household of the Great Xia Dynasty, and wasn’t she, at the very least, the granddaughter of Duke An? Was there a need to be so obsequious and act based on others’ expressions?

Moreover, this also involved an issue of loyalty. Her people should have been ready to stand by her side in the face of any power, regardless of life and death, and act according to her attitude, right? How could they leave her aside and take orders from a former husband who had turned against her? Was this the way to handle things?

With Jiang Yifan watching from across, Ye Xinyan could only blink away her anger and helplessness, calming herself with the thought: at least, when the two maidservants left, they had glanced at her, slightly saving her face.

As for what to do when she got back... Should she punish them by making them stand in the corner? Or dock their allowances, or lock them up without meals? Or perhaps give them a taste of each?

Jiang Yifan looked rather unhappy, but his tone was passable when he asked in a gentle voice, "You’ve been standing here for quite some time. Is there something troubling you that you can’t decide on?"

Ye Xinyan, unable to suppress her irritation at Anshun’s Household, replied, "Nothing. There’s just been a lot going on these days, and I wanted to be alone for a bit, nothing else."

Jiang Yifan seemed not to have heard her, and continued, "Does it have something to do with Wong Qiao, or perhaps Second Miss Zhou?"
