Things Are Going To Become Interesting

Long Jia followed the attendant.

Long Jia thought that she would be staying in an abandoned courtyard where there will be no servants. Where it would be desolate and she would have to tend to her needs. What greeted her was a beautiful, well-tended courtyard with not even a single speck of dust. It far exceeded her expectations.

She glanced at the servant and asked in disbelief " I will be staying here?!" she couldn't hide her shock. The servant stopped and answered expressionlessly " Answering to Wanfei, The Prince said to bring you here." He opened a door to a room and said "This is your room. Your dowry maids have been told to come after some time."

Long Jia nodded and went inside. The servant closed the door.

She sprawled on the bed and heaved a long sigh. Now she just had to deal with the spies of her mother and she could relax in true sense. She took a short nap to overcome her fatigue and forget the horror, shopping gave her.

A knock interrupted her rest.

Long Jia rubbed her eyes and stretched her body. She looked out. The moon had already replaced the Sun. She permitted them to enter and all her dowry maidservants came in. Long Jia was not too strict about courtesies and formalities, but she demanded respect and loyalty which these servants would not be able to provide.

She did not want to avenge the previous owner of this body but also did not want herself to be left in the claws of the enemies.

"Do you know why you have been summoned?" Long Jia asked the maidservants standing before her.

"No." One of them replied haughtily. Let's see how long this haughtiness lasts, Long Jia thought.

"You all have been dismissed from your duties as my attendants. My mother did not give me your slave contracts thus you all are to be sent back to the prime minister's mansion. All of you are to go back by tomorrow morning. If I see any of you tomorrow, the consequences will be dire. Your complaints are not to be taken into consideration." Long Jia said in one breath. She exuded an air of superiority which almost suffocated everyone in the room.

Still, the maidservants held no fear towards her, they were more scared of her mother. They showed obedience on the surface while mocking Long Jia in their hearts.

Long Jia knew what was brewing inside their head, still, she gave them a chance to escape her brutality. She looked towards the servant who showed her her way and brought all the servants, "You are to ensure that my orders are followed willingly. If anyone disobeys, flog them fifty times and throw them in the slums."

Her order immediately made the scheming hearts of the maidservants back out. Long Jia might be powerless but the servant sure wasn't.

The servant bowed his head in obedience and said: "This servant obeys Wangfei."

Long Jia smiled and dismissed them. She laid on the bed and smiled.

Long Jia went to sleep with only one thought in her mind, things are going to become interesting.
