Hearing the sound of glass breaking, Huo Qingyuan shrieked in agitation and glared at Yan Jinyi with hatred in her eyes.
"Yan Jinyi, you mad woman, what are you doing!? That suitcase contains my custom-made skincare products that are worth millions of yuan. Can a poor miser like you afford to pay for it!?"
"Even the best cosmetic products can't change the ugliness under your skin," Yan Jinyi chastised, revealing her domineering aura. She made her way up the staircase and looked down at Huo Qingyuan from above. "Since I'm still the second Young Mistress of the Huo Family, it's my duty to clean up those scums that will damage the pride of the family. "
'Scums?'
'This woman called me a scum!'
Huo Qingyuan's delicate face was red with anger, and her knuckles popped loudly when she clenched her fists.
"When I get into a fight, even men will fear me. Don't think that I won't dare to hit you just because you're my brother's wife."
Yan Jinyi laughed out loud as if she had heard the greatest joke ever. Staring at Huo Qingyuan with disdain in her eyes, she said, "You're already such a wayward brat at the age of nineteen. What's going to become of you when you get older?"
She then stared at the butler who was standing outside the door because he did not dare to enter.
"Uncle Zhang, supervise Huo Qingyuan and make her copy the 'Admonitions for Women' ten times. She won't get to eat until she finishes copying them."
The butler immediately nodded.
Staring wide-eyed at the butler who was walking towards her, Huo Qingyuan looked at Yan Jinyi who was humming a tune while making her way upstairs. "Uncle Zhang, who's the master of this family?"
Fearing that Huo Qingyuan would anger Young Mistress further, the butler hurriedly tugged Huo Qingyuan's shirt and said, "Miss Huo, just copy them since Second Young Mistress wants you to. Listen to me, or else you will be the one losing out."
The housekeeper said while pushing Huo Qingyuan towards the study. He even thoughtfully prepared some paper and a pen for her, after which he used the computer to find the original text of the 'Admonitions for Women'.
"There are still more than two hours before dinnertime. Copying it ten times is not much. If you focus on doing it, you will finish it soon."
Zhang Guoquan had been the Huo Family's butler for more than twenty years and he was an authoritative and impartial butler who had been keeping everything in order.
Why did he suddenly...
"Uncle Zhang, are you being threatened by Yan Jinyi? How did she threaten you? Let me know and I'll help you take revenge!"
Yan Jinyi respected the elderly and doted on children.
However, she was hot-tempered and was really unbearable because she would hit others all the time!
Holding onto the paper and pen with trembling hands, Zhang Guoquan said, "Second Young Mistress is quite a nice person. Just do what she tells you to. Since she wants you to copy this, do it quickly, lest you get in trouble."
Huo Qingyuan refused to give in.
Appearing visibly upset, she asked, "What benefits did she give you? I'm the daughter of the Huo Family while she, Yan Jinyi, is just an outsider that our Huo family doesn't want to acknowledge. Does she really think she can do whatever she wants just because she married my second brother?"
"Miss, that's your..."
"Enough, I've never been humiliated like this before. Who is she to make me copy the 'Admonitions for Women'?"
Zhang Guoquan was about to say something when Yan Jinyi suddenly appeared at the door.
She had already changed into a finely made dress, and was now leaning lazily against the door frame, with a toothpick in her mouth.
Although she was dressed demurely, she gave off the vibes of a hooligan.
"Uncle Zhang, don't bother wasting your breath on her. I've already said that she won't get to have dinner until she's done copying it. Since she doesn't want to eat, leave her be."
Zhang Guoquan looked at Huo Qingyuan and saw her glaring at Yan Jinyi with a look of resentment. Shaking his head, he walked out of the study.
Huo Qingyuan had been showered with love and spoiled by her family since she was a child and was indeed a little hot-tempered. He thought that Yan Jinyi might be able to discipline her and make her change.
