章節 18: Who Dares Offend You
Soon after the two of them returned home, the maid Xing'Er arrived at the Autumn Jade Courtyard.
She curvered the corner of the mouth into a mockingly cold smile. Then, with a penetrating manner, she said,
"Third Young Miss, the Minister left with the others and told me to inform you to make your own way over," said Xing'Er with a piercing voice and a cold, mocking smirk.
Liu Rushuang looked over at Xing'Er with a grave look on her face. "Do you not know that you must curtsy when you see me?" She asked in a chilling voice.
Xing'Er wasn't afraid of Liu Rushuang in the slightest.
Deep down inside, she figured that she was just a Young Miss who everyone disliked. Who knows? She might not even be the Minister's biological daughter.
On that thought, she replied with disdain. "If you're all that, then tell the Minister, tell Madam! Let's see who will stand up for you!"
Liu Rushuang let out an evil laugh, then raised her hand to softly claw Xing'Er's face. At the same time, she spoke with an oddly gentle voice. "I stand up for myself!"
"Ah... My face is burning! It's burning!" Xing'Er quickly raised her hand to gently touch her face. She suddenly kneeled over as her legs gave in from the searing pain.
"Serves you right!" Grunted Qing'Er coldly with pursed lips.
Xing'Er looked up at the nonchalant master and servant duo with her burned face and a pair of terrified eyes. Her face turned pale, then she hurriedly turned around and ran for it.
That was too scary! This Third Young Miss, is... is she even human? Was she actually stupid?
She remembered that the Third Young Miss rarely left the manor after she arrived half a year ago.
The thirteen year old Eldest Young Master and the eleven year old Third Young Master were of an age when they loved to have fun.
When they heard that everyone looked down on the Third Young Miss, and how stupid she was, they thought up ways to mess with her.
But in the end, for some reason, the Eldest Young Master was raped by a man.
Later, he couldn't handle the shame and committed suicide.
The Third Young Master encountered a poisonous snake on his stroll and unfortunately and fell off a cliff to his death.
Thinking about all this, Xing'Er's entire body shuddered.
Don't tell me this was all the Third Young Miss' doing?
After all, these incidents did happen one after the other ever since her return to the manor.
The more Xing'Er thought about it, the more frightened she became as she ran away in a panic.
She had to tell the Old Master and Madam so they can eradicate the Third Young Miss as soon as possible.
Otherwise, whose to say when she would accidently end up dead?!
Qing'Er watched as the flustered Xing'Er run away and shot her a ruthless glare.
A maid who kicks people around!
Liu Rushuang looked at the angry Qing'Er and thought she looked cute. She ruffled Qing'Er's hair.
"Milady, would you like me to kill that maid?" Respectfully asked a silver masked person dressed in black who had just walked in.
"Kill her," said Liu Rushuang flatly with her red lips.
Then, she continued to say, "There's a new aunt in the manor. Deal with her discreetly too."
"Yes," immediately replied the person dressed in black, before disappearing at the blink of an eye.
"Young Miss, there really isn't a single good person in the manor. The Eldest Young Master actually dared to drug you with an aphrodisiac, the Third Young Master dared to leave a poisonous snack in your courtyard, and those well-dressed aunts all have evil intentions. It's really not safe to stay here. Young Miss, when are we going to head back?"
Liu Rushuang ruffled Qing'Er's hair and smiled. "If all things go well, then we'll head back very soon."
Qing'Er let out an incredibly bright smile at the thought of going back. "Young Miss, I'll go fetch you some clothes," she exclaimed happily.
Qing'Er gave Liu Shuang a long elegant white dress to change into. Then, she combed her hair into a bun and added a white jade hairpin with tassels on the side. She looked completely chic and clean.
She knew that Liu Rushuang liked simple looks like these.
As expected, Liu Rushuang smiled at the mirror and complimented her in satisfaction. "Qing'Er, your skills are getting better."
Qing'Er's face turned red without warning and she giggled.
She didn't forget just how bad she used to be at this. Since then, she has carefully helped Liu Rushuang apply a simple coat of make up.
When she was ready, Liu Rushuang looked up and over at the direction of the imperial palace. "I won't marry into a place like that," she said with a dull voice.
"Yes, Young MIss. How could a man who has several concubines be worthy of you!" Said Qing'Er supportively with a smile.
Liu Rushuang grinned, as she spoke with a flat voice and a determined expression on her face. "Let's head out!"
