C16 The Servant Girl Xiaotao Who Wanted to Climb Her Father's Bed!

"Dad, when I got home yesterday, I saw the Second Concubine wearing Mom's favorite pink pearl necklace," Yuvyuv said, glancing at the maid standing by the door, who was loyal to the Second Concubine. Without hesitation, she spoke up.

"And Dad, I remember that necklace was a birthday gift you had specially made for Mom one year. You had it custom-made, and her name is engraved on the pearls."

Bang!

"That woman dares to wear something so precious? She's asking for trouble," Ye Mingyuan shouted, slamming his palm against the wall before storming out in anger. As he reached the door, he paused, remembering his precious daughters inside.

Turning back, Ye Mingyuan tried to calm his fury, not wanting to frighten his daughters. "Nianci, Erya, stay in the room. I'll get back your mom's dowry."

His heart ached seeing his two sweet daughters looking so wronged. How could anyone dare to bully them while he was still around? Did they think so little of him, the head of the household?

Second Concubine, was it? No one would save her today.

Ye Mingyuan left, fuming with anger.

It took a moment for Ye Nianci to process everything. She quickly turned to her sister. "Yuvyuv, did you really see the Second Concubine steal Mom's dowry?"

"No, Sis," Yuvyuv replied, already off the bed and pulling her sister's hand. Shaking her head, she hurriedly tugged her sister along. She couldn't miss the show. It would be a shame to arrive late and miss the excitement.

"What? Yuvyuv, you lied to Dad?" Ye Nianci was shocked. She couldn't believe her sister had the nerve to say such things.

Panicking, she tried to hold her sister back to get the truth. "Yuvyuv, tell me honestly, were you lying to Dad just now?"

"If you're making things up, Grandma will definitely help the Second Concubine come back and deal with you."

Ye Nianci had always been gentle and honest, never daring to lie in front of her elders. Ye Yuvyuv, pulling her sister along, laughed carelessly, "Sis, I never said I was lying."

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at the doorway, where Xiaotao, the maid serving the Second Concubine, stood frozen in fear. In her past life, this maid had always tried to cozy up to Dad!

Too bad I was there to stop her.

But this time around?

Ye Yuvyuv suddenly changed direction, turning her head with a calm smile, "Xiaotao, aren't you coming along? The Second Concubine stole my mom's dowry, and you're her personal maid. Aren't you going to testify?"

Xiaotao jumped at the sound, quickly waving her hands, "Fifth Miss, our lady didn't..."

In the family, Ye Yuvyuv was the fifth child. Everyone except her father, who called her Erya, referred to her as Fifth Miss.

"Silence, Xiaotao. The lady of this house was my mother, and she's long gone."

"The only ones left serving my father are a few concubines. Who are you calling 'lady'? Xiaotao, you've got some nerve, daring to call my father's women whatever you please. Do you want to be sold off?"

Thud.

Maid Xiaotao, terrified, quickly knelt, "Fifth Miss, I was wrong. My tongue slipped. Please forgive me."

Ye Yuvyuv raised an eyebrow, "Look at you, so scared. Get up, Xiaotao. I was just teasing you. Did you really think I was that scary?" Ye Yuvyuv suddenly let go of her sister's hand, walked over, and kindly helped Xiaotao up from the floor.

Xiaotao widened her eyes in disbelief, feeling both surprised and flustered. She looked at the Fifth Miss, who had always been the undisputed authority in the household, cherished by the master, and dismissive of everyone else.

At that moment, Xiaotao felt a mix of anxiety and nervousness. She tried to pull her hand back. "Fifth Miss, I'm just a humble servant. I can get up by myself."

Ye Yuvyuv didn't stop her, releasing Xiaotao's hand with a knowing smile. She gazed directly at Xiaotao, her eyebrows slightly raised in amusement, as if appraising her appearance. "Xiaotao, now that I look at you up close, you're really quite pretty. Compared to the Second Concubine, you're much more attractive and youthful."
