章 1700: There Was No Such Thing As Not Being Allowed To Beat A Woman

"Alright." Ling Lihua did not force it when she heard this.

Chu Jiu followed the servant and went to the front hall.

It was not too long before she returned looking quite pale.

"What's wrong?" Lu Tingchen quickly went forward to hold her when he saw something wrong with the look on her face. The veins on his forehead throbbed as he said in a deep voice, "Did Ji Lingxiu bully you?"

Chu Jiu calmed down when she heard this and darted him a look. She had no doubt that if she answered 'yes', he would head out and give Ji Lingxiu a beating.

In his eyes, there was no such thing as not being allowed to beat a woman.

"What exactly happened?" Ling Lihua got up to ask as well.

Even the Dowager Duchess, who was about to doze off while seated, said anxiously when she saw this, "Jiu, don't be afraid. I will be the first to take action against her if Ji Lingxiu bullied you."

Lu Hetian looked at her with concern as well.
