Kapitel 10: "You've Changed Mei!" 2
Bang*
Bai An hid the door behind her as she faced Ming Xia, her daughter, "Don't you have anything to say?"
She shouted, her voice loud enough to be heard by the maids and servants outside.
With a swollen face, Ming Xia kept silent, biting her lips so hard that blood was already starting to show.
Seeing this side of her daughter, Bai An already felt exhausted.
Sighing, she just angrily sat down as she lamented, "Every single day is drama after drama, I'm getting too tired of this."
Standing up, she said angrily, "But didn't I warn you Xia, I told you countless times to stay away from those two sisters… they are wicked girls who only want you to suffer, you shouldn't even talk to them, talk less or hit them!"
Bai An stated, as Ming Xia then spoke out, "Then what do you want me to do ma? Stay quiet and watch them insult me? Mother, I'm not like you.. I can't keep quiet and watch myself getting looked down upon, after all I am the first miss of this family.. I have as much right to discipline them as anyone else!"
She shouted, as Bai An was just about to give her another slap on the face but stopped mid air.
"You stupid child! I thought that after all these years you would finally understand what position we have in this house. Yes, you are the first miss but only by name. You have no stand in this house or power. The only people you can rely on to survive is your grandmother and your father!"
"The old Madame is getting sick, so soon she would write her will and if you keep letting yourself get tricked by Ming Ciao and Ming Mei then forget about seeing your name appear in her will, you won't even get to marry a decent man.."
"But why mom? Why is it so… why do we live like our entire life depended on such a single word? You're father's wife, yet you are treated like a concub-"
"Enough! Don't let me repeat myself Xia, you must stay away from those Ming sisters and do your best to win back the favor you have with your grandmother, it's the only way you can survive and not end up like me!"
Saying that, Bai An then turned as she then left as Ming Xia slightly collapsed on the ground.

Meanwhile, I was being dragged by no one other than the villainess sister, 'Ming Ciao'
"Ah.ah..ahh.. ouch! That hurts," I exclaimed as she was tightly holding my hands.
"No speak!" She shouted as she folded her hands, her eyebrows raised and her sharp gaze fixed on me.
"What do you mean by that? S–speak? What should I speak about?" I asked nervously like I didn't already know the reason she dragged me here.
"You've Changed Mei!" She said with a slight frown.
"Changed? How?" I asked.
"Don't act smart with me you little squirrel , I'm your elder sister so I can't be fooled by you! Tell me, why did you suddenly bring Jin Ling to the family dinner and take his side like that?"
She dropped the big question as I just froze slightly.
What did she expect me to say? That I wanted to live so I have to make her husband not hate me!
Sigh! Why do things keep getting this complicated? I guess I should have planned things out well.
First of all, I changed unexpectedly which would make people in the family and household suspicious, especially my sister.
I must win the male lead's heart without letting anyone notice my change but that would be a little challenging.
Forming a smile, I wrapped my hands around Ming Ciao's arms as I said while escaping a laugh, "Ah! Me? Take his side? Oh c'mon, Jai Jai you know that I'm not that type of person.. he's a lunatic, why will I take the side of a lunatic? You are mistaken."
"I told you that you can't fool me, I heard from my maids that you even defended him from getting punished! Now explain that?"
She said as I sighed internally, what the hell? Couldn't those stupid maids keep things to themselves?
How did she hear of it? Sighing, I came out with another lie.
"Oh! You mean what happened the other time, ah! Don't dwell on it sister.. I was only just smoothing the phase of my plan," I said as I robbed my hands slightly.
"P-plan? What plan is that?"
"Oh my dear sister, all I'm trying to do is make him feel slightly loved and cared for so that he can worship me all his life and then, bang! I'll accuse him of something no one would ever think could have happened and send him into exile and of course my main goal is to free my beautiful sister from this marriage!"
I said as Ming Ciao immediately smiled in happiness. I totally got her in her good spot, after all there was something she wanted more than anything in this world and that was to be free.
From this marriage, from her parents, from grandma and from her title as 2nd Miss.
She wanted to go to a place where she could live in peace with her lover who was unfortunately of low birth.
It's sad but even though some hated her for always bullying the male lead and being an unfaithful wife, I still pitied her in some way.
She just wanted to be free to love whoever she wanted whether rich or poor but the high level of hierarchy and discrimination in this world was one of her biggest obstacles.
Folding her hands, Ming Ciao then nodded, "Good, good, once the plan is in motion.. inform me and I might just spare that filth of a husband at a glance, I have to go now.. get back gl your residence!"
She said as she then patted my head and walked away and with her gone, a slight sigh escaped my lips.
"Phew! That was close!"
Meanwhile, unknown to me that hidden just a few meters away was Jin ling as Dao Li then said, "Young master, see.. I knew it, that cunning fox will never change, all this is part of her plan to frame the young master.. we should never believe her or trust her!"
He said as Jin Ling's expression was unreadable as always, "Let's get back to work!"
He said coldly as he turned around to leave, his thoughts and feelings buried deep inside.
