The Legitimate Miss Returns With Honor - C56 Kowtow

CaiYi was completely stunned. How could Yang Liu’s slap be comparable to a normal girl’s hand strength? In just a few moments, half of her face had swollen up. In addition to the lost teeth, she was in so much pain that she almost cried.

She was originally a servant girl by Gu Beitang’s side. Who wouldn’t give way to her in the mansion? Now that she was ordered by the Zhen family, coupled with the fact that she looked down on Gu Jinzhu, she naturally had an arrogant attitude.

She didn’t expect that this young miss would actually dare to order someone to hit her. In front of so many people, she fell to the ground miserably. For a moment, she felt as if she had lost all face.

Her cheeks were in pain, but she was afraid of being beaten again. She covered her face and cried, “Eldest Miss, this servant came under orders as well, and the punishment was also from the madame. The lady was not happy, so she just wanted to vent her anger on this servant.

Gu Jinzhu said with a smile that was not a smile, “What a sharp tongue. Do you think I’ve punished you wrongly? “Willow —”

However, before Gu Jinzhu could say anything, CaiYi screamed and frantically covered her face, shaking her head with all her might, “Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss, this servant was wrong. Please forgive this servant …”

She was crying so much that tears flowed down her face and her hair was in disarray. Her previous arrogant attitude had long since disappeared.

Gu Jinzhu said indifferently, “I will naturally take care of my little girl. Although you are the little girl of my second sister, you are also a servant of the Gu household. I see you also kneeling here to reflect on your mistake, so it won’t be too late for you to return to your second sister’s place after you know the rules.”

As soon as she said this, she knelt down with a thump and kowtowed. “This servant is willing to accept your punishment, and please give me a new name as well.”

She was still very angry a moment ago, but now that she saw that CaiYi had been beaten, she finally let out a long breath. Since she didn’t want to leave any clues for the girl, she willingly accepted her punishment and asked to change her name.

A girl in green quietly retreated. After a while, she came back with a cushion. She put it on Bee’s knees.

Cai Yi covered her face in complete shock. She didn’t think that she was originally here to deliver a message and give the Blue Luan Institute a good look. How come in the end, she had to kneel here as well?

She was kneeling on the cold, hard stone floor, wearing only a thin dress. Even if she wanted to protest, she didn’t dare open her mouth now.

Gu Jinzhu had no interest in watching them kneel down. She instructed the willow tree to watch them as she turned around and entered the house with Yun Xiang following behind her.

Magpie and the other maidservants had originally come to watch the show, but seeing the commotion, they all had their mouths wide open in shock. Magpie’s face paled, and when he thought back to how he had been cocky in front of his eldest daughter, he couldn’t help but feel his legs go weak.

As time passed, the sun was getting brighter and brighter. CaiYi’s face was in extreme pain and her eyes were starting to faint from the sun. When she saw Bea kneeling in the shade of a corner with a cushion under her knees, looking incredibly relaxed, she felt extremely humiliated and angry. She thought that she must make a good confession in front of the Second Miss, but she didn’t dare move because of the tall girl who was guarding her.

Gu Jinzhu returned to the back room and changed into a thin summer dress. Yunxiang took off the hairpin on her head and gently stroked her smooth long hair with a comb.

Old Lady Wang came in and said with a forced smile, “Miss, that Cai Yi is Second Miss’ little girl after all, don’t you …” “It’s fine if you give her a little punishment, but after so long, the second lady’s face won’t look good …”

Gu Jinzhu’s expression didn’t change as she raised her brows slightly, “She has offended her superiors, and her words have offended them. I was just punishing her on behalf of my second sister. She won’t blame me.”

“Ugh …” “Yes.” Lady Wang didn’t dare to say anymore and withdrew herself.

While carefully cutting her hair, Yun Xiang said with some worry, “Miss, since you’ve punished Caiyi today, Second Miss will definitely bear a grudge. How about we let her go back now, so that there won’t be any more problems in the future?”

Gu Jinzhu said indifferently, “Do you think she won’t bear a grudge if you ask her to go back now? Since he had already offended the other party, he might as well go all the way through! If we don’t beat down the arrogance of these unruly slaves, they will think that we are being casually bullied! ”

“Today, it’s all thanks to Yang Liu. She’s usually depressed and eats a lot. I didn’t expect her to be so useful at such a critical time.”

Gu Jinzhu also nodded with a smile. The people assigned to her courtyard were either arranged by the Yao family or were unfavoured in the Gu household. This Yang Liu had a pure mind and was a good person.

She remembered the green figure who had quietly handed the mat to her and asked, “What about Xiao Cui? What do you think? ”

Yun Xiang also laughed. “I was just about to tell Miss about this. This servant sees that she’s a rare, meticulous, and dependable person. She’s usually quiet and does things meticulously, and she’s much better than that magpie and Qiqiao.”

From the start, she had never intended to put it to good use. However, this Xiao Cui had an ordinary appearance, and normally did not speak a word, but it was hard to tell what kind of character she had.

She pondered for a moment, then asked, “Have you found out where she came from?”

“According to what the old woman guarding the door said, Xiao Cui was not the son of a family, she was bought from outside. She first served in my wife’s room, but my wife felt that she was not good-looking, so she reduced her to a third-class girl and sent her directly to the kitchen.”

Gu Jinzhu nodded. If she bought it from outside the clan, she could relax a little. Without the complicated background inside the clan, she would have no scruples when using it.

Now that he thought about it, it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with it. The most important thing was still this girl’s character. If she really was a good person, she might as well use it to promote her.

“Just watch for a while longer. If she really needs it, bring her up here.”

Yun Xiang nodded, then said, “That’s right, young lady. Xiao Cui works efficiently in the kitchen and doesn’t have many people to talk to. If she isn’t Madam’s person, then we can let her take care of the stove. She’s much better than that old missus Wang.”

Gu Jinzhu remembered what had happened with the firewood and said indifferently, “I’ll leave it to you.”
