When she was kneeling in front of them, Liu Yan looked totally different. Infact, she resembled a refugee!
Ms. Fang suddenly realized what had happened. She snorted slightly and then sneered.
Qiao Xuan gradually understood too. She cursed inwardly that it served her right.
Ms. Niu seemed to have spared no efforts to torment Liu Yan. She must have ripped Liu Yan’s clothes and given her what Shao Meiling had already worn out.
It could be seen clearly what life Liu Yan was leading when she was working for the second section of the family.
Evil always received revenge.
“Alright, just stop crying! What rules do you have by crying so loudly in front of your master?” Qiao Xuan said calmly.
Liu Yan’s cry stopped suddenly, but she continued to sob. “Okay, Second Miss, okay!”
She was no longer as arrogant as before.
Second Miss was going to be her savior. She had realized that it completely depended on Second Miss whether she was going to be rescued from where she was now.
Qiao Xuan did not want Ms. Qiao and the others to see what she looked like currently. So she smiled at Ms. Fang. “Mom, this servant doesn’t seem to be in a good condition. I will take her somewhere else and ask her what is going on, so that she doesn’t dirty the room.”
Ms. Fang nodded. “Okay, do as you want.”
Then she sneered. “It serves her right! She was arrogant, lazy and always greedy for food!”
Qiao Xuan laughed. “True, otherwise she would have continued to assume that everyone is as friendly as our family!”
Qiao Xuan ordered Liu Yan to get up and took her to her wing-room.
Liu Yan, who had found the wing-room so terrible earlier, believed that it was her safe bay at this moment.
Liu Yan soon kneeled down and cried. “Second Miss, please, I am sorry, please take me back!”
The second section of the family was so horrible that she never wanted to go back there.
The first day she arrived there, she was ordered to get changed by Ms. Niu, who said that a servant did not deserve to have such good clothes.
But those were not good clothes at all. They were just made of cotton.
She had been sneering at them for being so narrow-sighted that they had never seen anything good. She could not help but look down upon Ms. Niu, who slapped her right on the cheek. She felt her ears buzzing, and had to obey whatever Ms. Niu said from then on.
Ms. Niu and Shao Meiling as well as the other members of that family kept ordering her to do all kinds of work, as if they had never ordered anyone before.
What was more, she was overloaded with all kinds of housework.
It included laundry, cooking, wood chopping, fire starting, dish washing and yard sweeping…
Apart from that, she was instructed to serve them tea, do massages and dig the ground in the yard with a shovel.
If she failed to do anything, she would be scaled, beaten and slapped on the face.
Just one day before, Shao Meiling suddenly got annoyed and started to kick her. She was pushed to the ground and constantly kicked, before Shao Meiling finally stopped. She suffered so terribly that she just could not get up.
The moment she got up, Ms. Niu ordered her to start the fire and cook.
Moreover, she was starved.
She was fed only light porridge every single day.
She did not even have a piece of pickle!
Ms. Niu said that she was just a slave who deserved nothing more than porridge.
Only then did she realize how happy her life had been when she was working for Second Miss, who gave her decent food.
She was asked to sleep in the straw pile during the night, and had mosquito bites all over her body. She felt so itchy that she could not fall asleep at all.
But that did not excuse her to rest the following day.
She had to get up and continue to work. She had never understood how difficult life could be before this.
Ms. Niu was very tricky, and kept her eye on her throughout the day. Her room was locked overnight, and she could not escape even if she wanted to.
