Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 548 Intending to Surrender

Qiu Ye silently spilled the beans, even managing to pull the wool over Wufu’s eyes.

She had been paying close attention to this matter and noticed that neither Madam Zhou nor Qiu Xiang had mentioned it to the young lady. Madam, well, it would be fine if she didn’t say anything, but Qiu Xiang? Not telling the young lady? Wasn’t that keeping secrets from her?

Although the household was run by Madam, Qiu Ye knew that Wufu was the real decision-maker. She surely wouldn’t permit such secrecy, yet Qiu Xiang had remained silent—hmph!

Qiu Ye was particularly dissatisfied with Qiu Xiang, who had risen above her. Despite joining earlier, she was assigned the rough tasks and only later promoted to a second-class maid. Meanwhile, Qiu Xiang became the Chief Maid by Madam’s side as soon as she arrived, and now she was gaining more and more of Madam’s trust, practically her confidant, which infuriated her.

In terms of talents, she didn’t lose to Qiu Xiang at all. Why was she a second-class maid while Qiu Xiang was first-class? And even worse off than the maid Hongyu.

Hongyu had been with the young lady for a long time, and that was acceptable, but now, two new maids had arrived and were also attending to the young lady, both as Chief Maids, while she...

What really prompted her to act were the changes after the young lady’s recent outing. She had come back as if she had struck it rich, and even Hongyu became tight-lipped, giving nothing away. Inquiring about the young lady’s matters proved futile.

She could accept the young lady’s tighter control over her people, but clearly, those close to the young lady were regarded higher in the estate. Just look at Hongyu; a single outing improved her attire significantly and she got a lot of new jewelry, all gifts from the young lady. The same was true for Purple Jade and Jadeite.

Qiu Ye became anxious. At sixteen, she had to think about her future, and serving by Madam’s side didn’t offer much prospects.

As for the young lady, Miss Yunying wasn’t married, was acquainted with the County Magistrate, and there was also the Ninth Master. Qiu Ye observed from the side and understood that the young lady might very well receive favor someday. If the young lady were to rise, could she perhaps catch a little bit of that fortune?

While Qiu Ye was calculating her own moves, she failed to see the increasingly icy look in Wufu’s eyes.

"What do you want?" Wufu suddenly asked her.

Qiu Ye was taken aback.

With a slight smile, Wufu said, "You’re coming to pledge yourself to me. What do you want?"

She was smiling, but the smile didn’t reach the depths of her eyes and instead revealed disgust.

Qiu Ye was elated, oblivious to the real sentiment, and bit her lip before kneeling and saying, "Miss, I wish to serve by your side."

"Oh?" Wufu’s eyes narrowed. "Isn’t it good enough by Madam’s side? Although you are just a second-class maidservant right now, by Madam’s side, there is only Qiu Xiang as the Chief Maid. I was planning, in a few days, to add more people to Madam’s side and promote you."

"Madam is good, but I would prefer to serve the young lady, from whom I can learn more and broaden my horizons," Qiu Ye’s eyes gleamed.

Wufu remained silent, her eyelids lowered. freёwebnoѵel.com

Seeing this, Qiu Ye became restless and uneasy.

"It seems you are dissatisfied with the arrangements I have made for you!" Wufu laughed with a hehe.

"Miss?" Qiu Ye’s eyes widened, and her heart began pounding.

Wufu’s gaze was cold and so was her voice, "You come to me with this talk, does Madam know about it?"

Startled, Qiu Ye suddenly looked up, her lips trembling, "Miss..."

"Madam doesn’t know, what about Qiu Xiang? Does she know?" Wufu pressed on.

Qiu Ye’s heart skipped with each question, rendering her speechless.

"You are a second-class maid by Madam’s side, talking behind her back like this to me, what does this behavior constitute?" Wufu pressured, not allowing for any retreat.
