The Fortune of Rebirth: The Counterattack of the Princess-Chapter 11: Subduing the Boy
Proofread by Yin Jing
Yan Ling was waiting inside for Liyi to bring people in, but she suddenly heard a noise from outside the yard. Yan Ling thought about it, then she got up and went out.
There are a lot of people around the gate of the yard. Yan Ling can't see the situation clearly from the outside. Noticing that Yan Ling comes out, everyone subconsciously quiets down and retreats towards both sides, which makes Yan Ling see the situation there.
A boy about 15 or 16 years old is being pressed on the ground by several servants. The boy seems to be hurt on his face, but he still struggles without saying a word.
Although Yan Ling doesn't know what happened, she thinks the young man is very interesting. It will be good if she brings him under control. Of course, if he can be tamed.
"My lady." When Liyi finds out that Ling came, she hurriedly comes to Ling.
"Liyi, what happened?" Yan Ling is strict.
Obviously, the so-called severity doesn't aim at Liyi, but to establish a prestige in front of the new servants. She cannot be treated like a soft touch in front of another group of servants.
Sure enough, seeing Yan Ling so majestic, the servants settle down, and they don't look at Yan Ling as secretly as they did just now. Yan Ling takes back her eyes with satisfaction and waits for Liyi to reply.
"This new servant tried to run away, my lady. He has just been stopped by the servant." Liyi naturally knows what Ling wants to do, and her tone is more respectful than usual.
Yan Ling is a little surprised. Those who were sent by the servant-seller should have been well trained, and surely they would not make such a mistake. This boy is very interesting.
"Let him go." Says Yan Ling lightly.
"My lady..." A servant who is pressing the boy is a little hesitant.
Yan Ling frowns slightly, and Liyi says, "Why do you have so much nonsense? Just do what Miss Ling said."
Yan Ling nods with satisfaction and looks at the servant with a smile, "If something goes wrong, I will be responsible for it. Don't you think I have such a right? "
"No matter what you want to say, I am not willing to be your slave!" The boy in the room stares at Yan Ling.
Yan Ling smiles, then changes her expression and says to him ironically, "Do you think you have the right to say this to me? You are just the fish on the chopping board now. You can be slaughtered by anyone. "
The boy lowers his head and clenches his fists, but he couldn't refute. Although he spoke in such a stubborn voice, it was a lack of self-confidence.
He has to admit that Yan Ling shows her natural temperament just sitting there. Because he feels oppressed, he wants to take the initiative. As a result, Yan Ling's words made him despair.
"In your words, no matter what you want to do, now you are a servant bought by our prime minister's house. You can't even escape. What do you think you can do? "
Yan Ling pretends that she doesn't see the boy's clenched fist and still forces him to answer.
"Being your servant, can you help me to do what I want to do?"
The boy is indeed a wise person. He knows that Yan Ling will not say that to himself in vain. However... If it's just like this, it's far from enough!
Yan Ling reaches out her long fingers, knocks on the table, and says slowly: " Do you think you have the right to say that to me now? "
With that, Yan Ling stands up and walks toward the door. When Yan Ling is about to open the door, she hears a "poop" behind him.
Yan Ling doesn't turn around, but she smiles. She stops and waits for the boy to speak.
"I'd like to be your loyal servant, my lady. I just hope that when I have the ability to do what I want to do in the future, my lady, don't stop me." The eyes of the kneeling boy are clear, and his young but scarred face shows a resolute expression.
Yan Ling smiles and says slowly, "of course, I will not stop you. If you can show your usefulness, maybe I will give you a hand then."
This boy's name is Nan Yan. Yan Ling is too lazy to change his name, so he will still use it later.
Having found the person she wants,Yan Ling doesn't carefully select other servants anymore. She asks Liyi to find some clever ones. They don't have to be too smart, but they need to be reliable.
Liyi's work is satisfactory to Ling. Although there are many servants sent, there are only four more people left besides Nan Yan.
The two little girls look smart and honest, but they don't seem to have any personal characteristics. The other two teenagers, one is strong and the other looks smart. Yan Ling looks very satisfied, so she asks Liyi to train them.
After arranging the five people, Yan Ling specially orders Liyi to send some medicine to Nan Yan. If he needs a doctor, just ask for one in her own name.
Liyi comes back soon but still looks angry after delivering the wound medicine, which makes Yan Ling laugh.
Finding that Liyi secretly looks at her, Yan Ling pretends not to see her and drinks tea. Sure enough, after a while, Li couldn't stand it.
"My lady!" Li calls out discontentedly.
"What's the matter? Who provoked my housekeeper? " Yan Ling laughs.
There were few people in the yard at first, but now there are more, and they are all handed over to Liyi, who seems to be a young manager.
Liyi is a little embarrassed. She pouts and says with puffing cheeks, "You are making fun of me, my lady. And... That Nan Yan, he's too unscrupulous! "
Yan Ling is now clear. It was because of Nan Yan. In other words, the reason why Yan Ling let Nan Yan leave is that this young man, whether in terms of his temperament or anything else, is not like an ordinary slave.
Ling guesses maybe it is because of the decline of his family or the persecution that leads him to such a bad situation. Yan Ling wants to bring him under her control because she thinks he will be a great help in the future. Another reason is that Yan Ling wants to see how good he can be.
"What happened? It looks like that boy's original family will not be too bad. It's inevitable that he is a little arrogant. Maybe his family falls. You take care of him." Yan Ling says seriously.
Liyi was a little angry at first, but after listening to Yan Ling's words, she suddenly stops. After all, she is a soft-hearted girl. In addition, Nan Yan is of the same age as the younger brother and sister in her family, which makes her feel distressed.
Yan Ling naturally knows what Liyi is thinking and pats her on the shoulder.
"I don't want you to make do with him. No matter what he used to be, now he is a servant here. If he needs to be taught, he needs, otherwise we will be both embarrassed by him."
