The beautiful young woman had not said anything after being wronged by Li Shu, but the maids following her and Miss Yan Er could not help it. One of the maids, who had freckles on her face but was as proud as a hen, stood up, raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Shu with some disdain, and said mockingly:
"You are so rude, girl. Do you know who my wife is? I respect you by letting you call me sister. You are still talking nonsense here. You don't know what's good for you."
While this girl was ridiculing Li Shu, Miss Yan was torturing Zhu Ping'an with her eyes. Not only did this bad guy peek at her while she was bathing, he also unbuttoned his pants in front of her and made such a despicable gesture... He ruined her reputation for nothing... This kind of deep hatred cannot be easily resolved.
Zhu Ping'an naturally didn't dare to look Miss Yan in the eye. Although those things were all misunderstandings, it was Miss Yan who suffered the loss after all.
All of this reflected in Li Shu's eyes:
Shameless vixen, she actually seduced the stinky toad in front of me on the street! But luckily the stinky toad was not seduced, and didn't even look at her. Humph, luckily you didn't look at her, otherwise I wouldn't have made any delicious food for you on the boat.
Your master is shameless enough to seduce a stinky toad in the street, and you, a little girl, dare to ridicule me? !
Li Shu had never been pointed at by anyone, and had never suffered such humiliation, let alone being pointed at by a maid and ridiculed.
"Hehe... Madam, is this your girl?"
Li Shu smiled slightly, her pink lips slightly raised, her naturally beautiful face flushed, her watery eyes looked at the beautiful young woman, her breath was like orchids, her voice was as beautiful as a lark, sweet as honey, and she didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction at all.
The beautiful young woman nodded. Although she didn't understand what Li Shu meant by asking this question, she knew that this girl was indeed from the Yan family.
Miss Yan Er, who was beside the handsome young woman, also shifted her gaze from Zhu Pingan to Li Shu. At a glance, Miss Yan Er opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect that the girl next to Dengtuzi was so beautiful. She thought that her best friend Princess Anyang was already the most beautiful in the Ming Dynasty, but she didn't expect that the girl next to Dengtuzi was three points more beautiful than Princess Anyang. In addition to her natural beauty, the elegant and noble temperament of this girl was not inferior to Princess Anyang at all.
This girl must be Deng Tuzi's fiancée, the fifth lady of Linhuai Marquis's Mansion, Li Shu. Miss Yan Er had someone investigate Zhu Ping'an and found out that Zhu Ping'an had a childhood sweetheart who was engaged to her in the neighboring village. She was the woman of the third master's family in Linhuai Marquis's Mansion who was driven out of the house because of a woman and fell into the countryside. She was ranked fifth among the ladies of Linhuai Marquis's Mansion.
When I found out, I thought that the heaven had a good eye and let that lecher get his retribution by getting engaged to a country girl. But I didn't expect that this country girl was so beautiful and had such an extraordinary temperament. It was really a bargain for the lecher!
"Madam, I looked at you." Li Shu blinked.
"Ah?" The beautiful young woman couldn't keep up with Li Shu's pace and didn't understand why Li Shu suddenly said such a thing.
However, she soon understood what Li Shu meant.
"Slap." Li Shu's eyes were slightly cold as she calmly gave the two words to the person behind her. The tassels on her hair swayed as her face turned.
As soon as Li Shu finished speaking, the old maids following behind her rolled up their sleeves, not caring about the identities of the people in front of them, and directly passed by the beautiful young woman and Miss Yan Er, and went over to grab the girl with freckles on her face who was making fun of Li Shu. They slapped her in the face.
These old women were used to doing rough work in Shanghe Village and had strong hands. After a few slaps, they made the proud little hen-like freckled girl's hair disheveled and her eyes blurred, and she was completely stunned.
This little rascal is so bold that she dares to ridicule our young lady. She is so bold. From childhood to adulthood, our master has never said a harsh word to our young lady, and you dare to ridicule our young lady...
These old maids don't care who Miss Yan and the others are. Even if they know that Miss Yan and the others are from the Yan family, these old maids will still unswervingly obey the orders of their young lady Li Shu.
Not to mention that Li Shu's methods made them dare not hesitate at all, just the generous rewards Li Shu had always given made them unable to stop being obedient.
During their time at Linhuai Marquis' Mansion alone, they received a lot of rewards from Li Shu.
So, when they heard Li Shu say slap, these old women rushed forward, grabbing arms, pulling hair, and slapping faces. The division of labor was clear, and the cooperation was tacit. It was obvious that they had been working together for a long time and were very familiar with the process.
Of course. It wasn't a lot of hitting, just three slow motion hits with the left and right hands.
This is also what Li Shu had told them before. A slap in the face means hitting the dignity. It is enough as long as the meaning is conveyed. It does not matter how hard you hit, just knocking the other person's face to the ground is enough. Of course, it would be better if you could step on it a few times.
They had been with Li Shu for a long time, and they could understand her eyes to some extent. They knew whether to be gentle or heavy-handed.
"Little sister, you have done this before, right? When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first." The beautiful young woman looked at Li Shu solemnly and asked, with some embarrassment on her face and a somewhat gloomy expression.
Don't blame her. In fact, this would be the same for anyone. Your girl was slapped in the face by someone. Anyone would be embarrassed. As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner.
I originally wanted to give you a warning, but I didn't expect that I had just dismounted and before I could show my power, you had slaughtered me and stewed me into soup.
So, the beautiful young woman frowned and wanted to ask Li Shu for an explanation.
"But, I just looked at you. I told you so." Li Shu blinked and looked at the beautiful young woman with an innocent face, as innocent as a vegetarian little white rabbit.
Uh, I’m actually speechless.
At this time, the beautiful young woman realized what Li Shu meant by "Madam, I was watching you" which sounded very inexplicable. It was because of her saying that you should look at the owner before beating the dog. This girl is so scheming at such a young age. How was she taught to do this
This kind of girl is not easy to deal with.
I used to hear Lanlan often talk about the new top scholar Zhu Ping'an. Although she advocated for his killing, the beautiful young woman was an experienced person. Women often say one thing and think another. If she said that she had no interest in Zhu Ping'an, the beautiful young woman would not believe it.
I was originally thinking of talking to Dong Lou to see if I could do something about the Prime Minister's request to help Lan Lan.
But now it seems that things are far from being as simple as we thought. (To be continued.)
