Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Yaoyao had never expected Beitang You to lose his temper like this. She was reminded of how the palace guards and maids were ordered around by the maid-in-waiting, and they did not really manage to harm her. So, she pointed at the maid-in-waiting and said to Beitang You, "You can show mercy on the others besides her. The rest of them didn't do anything to me. Every order was given by this palace maid who wanted to punish me. The others were only following her orders."

Beitang You turned his gaze toward the maid-in-waiting when he heard this and said in an icy-cold voice, "This is my Palace. When did a servant like you be allowed to make decisions here? Who do you think you are to decide what to do with my important guest?"

"It's not what you think, Your Majesty. Please don't listen to one side of the story. I did not do anything." The face of the maid-in-waiting turned ghostly pale as she quickly moved forward on her knees while defending herself.

"There is no need for further explanation when you have done a bad deed. Men, take her away," Beitang You ordered grimly.

Two palace guards immediately came forward and dragged the maid-in-waiting away.

The color was lost from the maid-in-waiting's face as she began shouting in a panic, "You can't treat me this way, Your Majesty. I've been by your side for so many years. I've been dutiful even if I did not give great contributions. Your Majesty…"

Beitang You gave the palace guard a look. The palace guard gave a start and quickly gagged the maid-in-waiting, and dragged her away.

Before she was dragged off, she stared daggers at Yaoyao. The hate was intense and it was difficult to ignore.

Yaoyao noticed it, but she was not afraid.

She had never been one to offend another, but that did not mean she would act mercifully when she was bullied.

Yaoyao did not feel bad at all for the maid-in-waiting's punishment. That maid had brought it onto herself.

If this was some other girl and not Yaoyao, who knew Light Body Skill, that girl might have ended up dead.

Beitang You gave Chen Jin a look.

Chen Jin understood the order and retreated silently.

"I bet you're hungry. Let's have breakfast first." The scary look in Beitang You had disappeared and he turned to give Yaoyao a warm look as he held her dainty hand naturally.

Yaoyao was still thinking about the maid-in-waiting and did not notice this. When she heard his words, she followed him into the room without a word.

As they watched the Emperor leave with the others, the rest of the palace maids went weak and fell to the ground. Cold sweat had caused their dresses to be soaked.

After that experience, they felt like they had just survived a near-death experience.

Yaoyao had just taken a few mouthfuls of food in the room when she was reminded of something. She lifted her eyes and looked at Beitang You. She asked curiously, "Why did you choose to believe me just now? What if I was maligning that maid?"

From what she had heard from that maid-in-waiting, she seemed to have served by Beitang You's side for a long time. Yet, he had chosen to punish that maid-in-waiting based only on Yaoyao's words.

Even though Beitang You did not clarify what was the maid-in-waiting's punishment, Yaoyao knew that she would most likely not survive.

Beitang You put some food into her bowl. He was worried she would overthink this and he explained gently, "That maid is actually in charge of daily minor responsibilities in Serenity Palace. She doesn't stay by my side often and is just an unimportant palace maid. Compared to her, I'm naturally more willing to believe your words. Besides, there isn't any reason for you to malign a palace maid. Alright, stop thinking about this and finish your food."

Yaoyao still felt something strange after listening to his explanation.

Why would he need to explain this in such detail to her?

Just as she was questioning this, she heard him say again, "There are no palace maids serving by my side."

Yaoyao blurted, "Really? My royal brother doesn't like palace maids serving him personally either."

At this point, Beitang You looked deeply at her and said pointedly, "I would never allow another woman near me besides my wife."
