Hearing that she was still so arrogant, Boss Dao looked at Zi'an with a dagger in his hand, "Miss, give your orders!"
Zi An sat there calmly, and said, "Little Knife, start from her face, cut it one by one, until she speaks."
The servants were all watching outside. Lan Yu had a very high reputation in the mansion before. Ever since the housekeeper Xia Quan was burned to death, she had been in charge of the servants in the mansion.
Although she was arrogant and domineering, and acted arbitrarily, because she was a member of the old lady's family, no one dared to offend her, and no one dared to say a word even if they had resentment. Now that she was beaten all over her body, everyone cheered in their hearts.
Lan Yu and Xia Quan have different ways of doing things. Xia Quan is not a good-for-nothing either, but he knows how to use both kindness and severity on his servants. So even though the servants know that he is cruel, they have no complaints against him.
Lan Yu's misfortune is truly a relief to the people.
However, everyone was shocked after hearing Zi'an's order. They didn't expect that the eldest lady would be so cruel. Those who had looked down on Zi'an before also changed their views.
Boss Dao stepped forward with a dagger in his hand and chuckled, "Aunt Lan Yu, right? Sorry for the offense!"
He raised his sword and the knife flashed in front of Lan Yu.
Before Lan Yu could come to her senses, she felt a chill on her face, followed by a burning pain. She reached out and touched it, and her hand was covered in blood.
"You are so cruel, you will get your retribution!" Lan Yu yelled angrily, and kept dodging backwards, hoping that Xia Wan'er would protect her.
Xia Wan'er didn't expect Zi'an to not give her any face at all and dare to treat Lan Yu like this in front of her. She couldn't help but get angry, "Xia Zi'an, don't go too far. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss for two servants?"
Zi'an ignored Xia Wan'er and continued to stare at Lan Yu, "Will you tell me or not?"
Lan Yu shrank back, but still insisted, "I said I don't know. If you have the ability, go find it yourself. You hurt me today, and the old lady will definitely not let you go."
"Whether I hurt you or not, your old lady will not let me go." Zi'an raised his hand, signaling Boss Dao to continue.
Boss Dao stepped forward, grabbed Lan Yu and dragged her out.
Xia Wan'er kicked him and said angrily, "You little slave, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? You're asking for your life."
Boss Dao dodged to the side, let go of Lan Yu, grabbed Xia Wan'er's arm and dragged her out, throwing her outside the yard.
Boss Dao has no class concept. He only recognizes the one who feeds him. Since Xia Wan'er is preventing him from carrying out Zi'an's orders, he will not show mercy.
Xia Wan'er was so angry that her face turned blue. She had never been beaten up like this by a servant in her life. She immediately jumped up and pointed at the servants and said angrily, "Are you blind? You are standing there watching me being bullied. Catch him. I want to see how hard his head is."
The servants did not dare to disobey Xia Wan'er's order, so they had to go in. Zi'an glanced at them coldly and said sternly, "Back off!"
She had a cold and majestic face, and with the Grand Princess present, no one dared to step forward for a moment.
Xia Wan'er stamped her feet and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go find grandma right away."
On the other side, Boss Dao slashed Lan Yu's face again. Bright red blood flowed down her cheek, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
Amid Lan Yu's screams and howls, Zi'an said coldly, "Xiaodao, chop off her fingers!"
Lan Yu was trembling with fear. Although the second young lady went to find the old lady, she was afraid that she would be dead by the time the old lady arrived.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Lan Yu finally gave in and shouted while crying.
Zi'an looked lonely and cold, "Speak!"
Lan Yu cried and said, "Xiaosun is in Zuiyue Tower, and as for Guiyuan, she should be in the wild outside the city now."
"Zuiyuelou?" Chen Liuliu jumped up, rushed over and slapped Lan Yu twice in the face. "That's Qinglou, you old slave, I don't want your life, how dare you treat Xiaosun like this?"
After the beating, he kicked again.
Chen Liuliu was originally a martial artist, and he kicked Lan Yu in the abdomen with great force. Lan Yu choked and passed out.
Murong Zhuangzhuang's face was also full of anger, but saving people was the most important thing now, so she immediately ordered her people to go to the wild areas outside the city to collect longan. As for Zuiyue Tower, she had to go there in person.
"Zi'an, come with me to Zuiyue Tower." Murong Zhuangzhuang said.
When Zi'an saw her expression, he knew that Zuiyue Tower was not an ordinary place. Even the current Grand Princess was so afraid of it.
Before leaving, Zi'an told Dao Lao Da, "Watch here. Without my order, not even a fly can come in, and no one is allowed to leave."
"What about this one?" Boss Dao pointed at Lan Yu and asked.
"Throw it out!" Zi'an looked at it with disgust.
"She's just getting away with it like that?" Chen Liuliu asked Zi'an in disbelief.
Zi'an sneered, looking at Lan Yu's trembling body, how could it be so cheap? No, it won't.
But first, let her go back to the old lady to scare the tigress.
Boss Dao picked up Lan Yu and threw her out. After she was thrown out, the servants dared to approach her and sent her back to the old lady's room.
The old lady originally thought that Zi'an was just giving a minor punishment and a stern warning, but when she heard what Xia Wan'er said, she thought it was an exaggeration. What about beating and cutting the face? She didn't think Xia Zi'an would dare to do that. After all, Lan Yu was hers.
But when she saw the servants helping Lan Yu back, she realized that Xia Wan'er was not exaggerating at all.
"Come, call the doctor!" The old lady was really concerned about her own people. When she saw Lan Yu's appearance, all her previous anger was transferred to Zi'an.
Lan Yu knelt on the ground crying, "Old Madam, please make the decision for me."
Cui Yu helped her up, holding back her tears, and said, "How can you be so cruel, young lady? You are only a teenager, but you are so cruel. What will happen if you really marry into the palace?"
"Where is she?" the old lady asked sternly.
"I couldn't bear the torture and confessed." Lan Yu cried, "Now she has gone out with the Grand Princess."
"Grandma, although she is not here, Yuan and the servant who did it are still here." Xia Wan'er said hurriedly.
The old lady looked up at Xia Wan'er and couldn't help but said angrily, "You too, why did you bother her for no reason? It would be fine if she didn't bother you, but you still bothered her. She is now a poor woman, whoever provokes her will be in trouble."
"Grandma, isn't it because of her, the Crown Prince, that he distanced himself from me? How can I swallow this?" Xia Wan'er said aggrievedly.
She felt that her grandmother was becoming more and more cowardly. How majestic was she in the past? Now she was so timid that she even hesitated to deal with Xia Zian.
The old lady said coldly, "The prince is alienated from you, it's your fault. You shouldn't have joined forces with Liang and Ximen Xiaoyue to drag the prince into this. The Grand Tutor is already very angry about this matter and has put pressure on your father."
Seeing that the old lady kept criticizing her and didn't send anyone to arrest Dao Lao Da and Yuan, Xia Wan'er stamped her feet and said, "Grandmother, are you afraid of Yuan? If you are afraid, you can leave Yuan alone and just arrest that boy."
