Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

39 Team villainess had gained another member Part I

Bai Yu was ordered by her mother to kneel in her residence for one shichen as punishment. Yue Mei wanted her to reflect on her mistake. ‘You’re the daughter of the senior chancellor, but your behavior toward Rui Wang wasn’t of a noble lady at all’. Her mother must be talking about her argument with Ouyang Feilong.

Ah...Bai Yu could only hang her head and accept the punishment.

The slender form of Bai family’s first miss was kneeling in her bedroom without a word of protest. A maid from the main house, ‘Xiao Chang’, who was assigned by Yue Mei to monitor the first miss also could not help but pity her.

The first miss Bai Yu had always been impeccable in public. It was only when she was with her mother and brother that she would lower her guard and act childish, calling rare smiles to the first Furen and first master’s faces.

But when in front of the royals or other nobles, their miss would be graceful and reserved. She could maintain her manners even toward Qin Wang who she had been hopelessly in love with for so long.

The scene where she argued with the Wangye, who was not only known for his military prowess but also had close ties with the Emperor, surprised everyone. Their first miss Bai Yu who had been brought up to become the perfect Qin Wang Fei acted like that toward a royal. It was natural that the first Furen would punish her.

‘You should hurry to bed after you finished kneeling. Tomorrow you’ll have to write me a copy of ‘Noble Lady Virtues”

After half a shichen had passed, Bai Yu was sitting quietly while crying internally. She knew that she had been rude toward Ouyang Feilong all this time, but she also did not know why she could never control her temper when he provoked her. She was just acting like the loving older sister while in front of the mansion, but then she lost her control right after she met Rui Wang who knew her true nature. When she was in front of him, she would act on her former life’s personality every time.

Bai Yu in her former life was an only child, so she was quite self-centered and a little wicked. Furthermore, she was born rich, so with her mother’s passing and her father’s indifference, she ventured into the world alone.

.....

She was also in the entertainment circle. Even when she was sensible enough not to get to the point where she became a public enemy, she still had enough wickedness to deal with others within the industry. Otherwise, she would not end up being called the number one villainess!

No matter in what circle, in which life, wearing masks and hiding thorns among flowery words were Bai Yu’s expertise. She was adept in both retaliating and enduring when in front of others.

But the first time she met Ouyang Feilong, the first thing he said was calling her a fool. It was vastly different from the roundabout way of speaking others in this world had used, so Bai Yu immediately revealed her darker side and became the great general’s bickering partner since the beginning. And that habit endured up until now.

Moreover, every time they met there would be only the two of them, so no one else had heard how they argued with each other. The result was that they forgot themselves when they were in front of others. Bai Yu had to accept that she did not know when it really began, but every time Ouyang Feilong started using his sharp words, her patience would lower to an unprecedented level.

It was just the matter of fighting fire with fire!

It was probably because she went to the temple and stay at that village for too long right after transmigrating into this body. While there, she acted according to all her thoughts and whims. Even though she still maintained her graceful image in front of others, she had much more freedom than when she was at the mansion. Bai Yu rarely listened to Xiao Xi’s nagging when she tried to stop her. She mainly relied on the original body’s memory to understand the culture, but truthfully, she did not try to understand it to the point of accepting and adopting it.

She was herself, the transmigrated villainess who came from a different era from the original Bai Yu who grew up in this culture and tradition. Nevertheless, it was an undeniable truth that now they were the same person, and she had to adapt, sooner or later.

When she starred as Bai Yu in the series, she could do it perfectly. She could be the elegant first miss, the refined beauty who hid wickedness behind the gentle image. She could do it all! But that was merely a role that she played by the script. When the director said ‘cut’, she would be able to leave and go home being herself. It was not the same this time.

The new Bai Yu had to live here her whole life, and she had to accept that the manners of women in this era were different. No matter how high her adaptability was, it would not make her immediately change her whole mindset.

This time she was not careful, so Ouyang Feilong could not be solely blamed for her mistake. She was also at fault. She forgot that she was no longer in the former world, so she could not bring her former personality here. Not all of them.

She did not want to lose herself, her former life’s self, and at the same time, she also did not want Yue Mei to lose her daughter, the original Bai Yu. Because of that, she had to do her very best, better than the best of her every villainess role before this, so that she could both be ‘Original Bai Yu’ in the former life and ‘Bai Yu as she should become’. This was her new role. It was the role that she had to play for the rest of her life.

Now that she could sit down and contemplate, Bai Yu realized that transmigrating into playing the villainess in real life was not easy at all.

“Miss, stand up, please,” Xiao Xi said to Bai Yu after communicating with Xiao Chang, whom she was close with, through eye contact. They would not report to the first Furen if their miss stood up before the time was up, because they could not bear to see her being punished at all.

Xiao Xi’s miss had always been an obedient and capable young lady. No matter what the first Furen taught her, she could flawlessly follow. It was her own fault that she could not take care of her miss well enough. Since she herself also got carried away by the freer life at the village where there was no competition with other maids, it then resulted in both her and her miss forgetting to maintain their manners.

“Mother said I have to kneel for one shichen,” Bai Yu said calmly. Even though it was a statement, she looked at Xiao Chang like she was waiting for an answer.

“I will return to the main house after one shichen and report to first Furen that miss has kneeled for the full duration, then immediately went to bed.” Xiao Chang understood the gaze from the first miss, so she answered according to what the other person wanted to hear.

“Good.” Bai Yu immediately stood up. She was a Buddhist, so she was used to kneeling to pray for a long time. It was actually not a big deal for her at all, but she did think it was unnecessary to kneel for one shichen when she had already reflected on her mistake. Xiao Xi interrupted at the perfect timing, and that maid was also sharp. Bai Yu’s mood was better again.

“What’s your name?” She poured tea for herself and asked for the maid’s name while Xiao Xi cleverly started massaging her legs.

“My name is Xiao Chang, miss.”

“What’s your duty in my mother’s residence?”

“I help assist Xiao Jun jiejie.”

Ah. So she was an assistant to her mother’s personal maid.

“Do you want to be my personal maid?”
