Chapter 40: Confrontation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The servant immediately revealed a pained expression. He was firmly stepped on and could not move at all.

The scene in front of them stunned everyone. No one expected the servant to make a move without a word, nor did they expect the servant to fail.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Yu Wan.

They didn’t sympathize with the servants of the Bai Manor. They believed that the Yu family was innocent. However, this girl’s skills were too fast. They-they didn’t even see how she moved before the servant was trampled on the ground by her, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.

“What an audacious wild girl! She actually dares to commit such atrocities in the Bai Manor!” Mrs. Bai shouted furiously.

Uncle Yu and Yu Feng’s expressions darkened.

“Get lost!” Mrs. Bai flicked her sleeves and shouted. Although Mrs. Bai did not come from a good background, she was, after all, the matriarch of the Bai family. Yu Wan was a little village girl who had no background and no backing. She would not easily take her seriously.

So what if she had some skills? She did not believe that the Bai Manor could not control a wild girl!

“What are all of you waiting for? Hurry up and find the guards!” Mrs. Bai coldly ordered the maidservant at the side.

Only then did the maidservant recover from her intense shock. She looked at Yu Wan in horror. That pair of cold eyes made the maidservant’s heart skip a beat. “Ma… Madam… do you think…”

Mrs. Bai said impatiently, “Just go when I tell you to! What nonsense are you spouting!”

The maidservant did not dare to be negligent and took small steps to invite the guard.

The guard came quickly.

At this moment, the servant who was trampled on the ground had already fainted. He didn’t know if it was Yu Wan who stepped on him or if it was him who had frightened himself.

“Madam.” The head guard bowed to Mrs. Bai with cupped hands.

The corners of Mrs. Bai’s lips curled up smugly. She pointed at Yu Wan and said, “You guys, arrest her!”

The leader of the guards looked at Yu Wan and said with difficulty, “Madam, they were invited into the manor by Young Miss. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for me to rashly arrest them. May I ask Madam, what exactly did this young lady do?”

The guards at the manor were quite clear. The father and son trio secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Bai was a little unhappy. Since Bai Tang invited them into the manor, they didn’t dare to arrest her. Did they still have her in their hearts?

“You mean… I can’t order you around anymore?” Mrs. Bai asked sarcastically.

The leader of the guards said nicely, “That’s not what I meant. I…”

“That’s enough.” Mrs. Bai “magnanimously” interrupted him. “I understand that this is your duty. I might as well tell you that she stole the Bai Manor’s congratulatory gifts and injured a servant in the manor. Do you think… she should be arrested?”

“This…” The leader of the guards looked at the unconscious servant on the ground and then looked at the mountain of gifts. For a moment, he was hesitant.

Mrs. Bai felt a little humiliated. “The thieves have already entered the house. If you don’t help catch the thieves, what’s the use of the Bai family hiring you!”

“Mrs. Bai, we’re the ones you want to smear your reputation with. Why make things difficult for the guardhouse?” Yu Wan sighed softly.

“Who smeared your reputation?” Mrs. Bai straightened her back and asked.

Yu Wan said, “You keep calling us thieves. What did we steal?”

Mrs. Bai said, “Of course it’s these congratulatory gifts!”

Yu Wan said neither too fast nor too slow, “Since Mrs. Bai insists that these are the Bai Family’s congratulatory gifts, then why don’t we ask Mrs. Bai to bring over the list of gifts for today and discuss with everyone to see which guests send these gifts?”

Mrs. Bai immediately choked.

“What? Mrs. Bai doesn’t dare?” Yu Wan asked lightly.

Mrs. Bai’s eyebrows twitched, but she cleverly ignored Yu Wan’s words. “I say, little girl, have you really not seen the world, or are you pretending not to? There are so many guests that came to the Bai Manor today, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to count the number of congratulatory gifts they have sent in three days and three nights…”

“Then count them for three days and three nights.” Yu Wan interrupted her calmly. “It’s best if we invite the people from the yamen as well as the people from the Capital. Let everyone be the notary and see if we have stolen anything from the Bai family.”

“You…” Mrs. Bai’s face turned red. “Who do you think you are?! Do you think I would give you the list when you said you wanted to check?”

“Since Mrs. Bai is unwilling to investigate, then I can only go and invite Miss Bai. Mister, I’ll have to trouble you to bring a message to Miss Bai. Tell her that we have something to discuss with her here.” Yu Wan’s last sentence was directed at the head guard.

Mrs. Bai glared at the guard. “How dare you!”

“Why wouldn’t she dare?” Bai Tang walked out from behind the crowd.

The moment she saw Bai Tang, Mrs. Bai’s expression changed.

“Miss Bai,” Yu Wan greeted.

Bai Tang walked to Yu Wan’s side and took a list from Steward Ding who was accompanying her. She said to Mrs. Bai, “The details of the birthday banquet are all here. If you can’t read, I’ll get someone to read it to you. Or do you want to read it yourself?”

Mrs. Bai’s face turned green with anger from the rude words.

“Sister Bai, we didn’t steal anything.” Little Bruiser walked over quickly.

Bai Tang said, “I know. I believe you guys.”

Now that the list had been brought over, Mrs. Bai would be thoroughly shamed if she continued to cause trouble.

“If you insist on protecting these little thieves, then continue to do so! I don’t care about the matters in this manor anymore!” Mrs. Bai said coldly and left angrily.

“Everyone, disperse,” Miss Bai said to everyone. She did not forget to instruct Steward Ding beside her. “You’ve worked hard for the entire day. Remember to reward them well for me.”

Upon hearing that there was a reward, everyone stopped watching the fun and went to the accountant’s room with Steward Ding.

Bai Tang looked at the Yu family guiltily. “I’m sorry. We’ve wronged you.”

Yu Wan said, “We should be the ones apologizing. Sorry for troubling you.” Not everyone had the guts to fall out with their own family for the sake of a few outsiders, even if the other party was a stepmother who did not get along.

Bai Tang said, “I’ve heard enough good words today, so don’t stand on ceremony with me. It’s getting late. I’ll arrange a carriage to send you back.”

Yu Wan smiled. “Thank you.”

“What about you?” Yu Feng asked.

Uncle Yu glared at his son. “It’s Old Master Bai’s birthday. Of course, Miss Bai has to stay and celebrate with her father.”

Miss Bai revealed a rare shy smile.

“Miss, Master is looking for you.” Bai Tang was about to arrange a carriage when a servant serving Master Bai came over.

Bai Tang looked at Yu Wan and said, “Wait here. The carriage will arrive soon.”

Yu Wan nodded. Bai Tang and the servant went to see Old Master Bai.

Not long after, several carriages arrived one after another. Three were used to pull goods, while the other two—

Actually, one carriage was enough for them.

Yu Wan paused and thought of something. She walked to the last carriage and gently lifted the curtain. She saw Bai Tang sitting in the carriage.

Bai Tang, who was high-spirited a second ago, looked like a child who had been wronged. Her back was stiff and her hands were holding onto her handkerchief tightly. Her eyes were red and large drops of tears fell.
