The True Heiress in Exile: She's Ruthless and Unhinged

Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...

Chapter 22 I was born and raised without much manners.

Xu Jinhuan thought for a while and said, "According to the information we have so far, there is a bandit informant among the constables. I heard you call him Xiao Li today."

Upon hearing this, the head constable flew into a rage. "It was him? If our master hadn't discovered it in time, wouldn't we have all been caught in a trap by them from the inside and outside!"

Xu Jinhuan nodded and continued, "Let's not alert them yet. Have a few constables search the area to see if there are any cellars."

"If a real fight breaks out, let the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled hide inside first. That way, we'll be less constrained and can fight more freely."

The head constable carefully remembered Xu Jinhuan's instructions, but after hearing the last sentence, he looked at his master's thin back with some suspicion.

Is it really about fighting freely, or being beaten freely?

Sigh, how could he think of his master like that? It's really wrong of him!

The head constable touched his nose haphazardly and quickly changed the subject.

“Master, shouldn’t we remove the shackles from the men in the exile team so they can also contribute? Otherwise, we constables alone might not be able to protect everyone.”

Xu Jinhuan nodded and gave the head constable an approving look. "Of course, but it's not the right time yet. If we tear it down now, it will let our inside accomplice know that there is a problem."

The head constable nodded in sudden realization; his brain was indeed not as good as his master's.

Xu Jinhuan glanced at the head constable, feeling helpless. He had never met him before and thought he was a cold and ruthless official, but it turned out he was a simpleton.

"Silly boy, ah, no, we've been chatting for so long and I still don't know your name. How should I address you from now on? Don't call me master anymore, just call me boss."

The head constable scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and his憨憨 (simple and honest) smile made the scars on his face look even more ferocious.

“Okay, boss, my name is Xie Datou. My dad said it’s a lucky name, and I don’t need to carry an oil-paper umbrella on rainy days. You can just call me Datou from now on.”

Xu Jinhuan suppressed a laugh and coughed lightly. Was this big-headed father really saying this to fool the child? It was a nice surname, but it turned out to be paired with such a name.

Xu Jinhuan pondered for a while and then shared his thoughts.

"Big Head, find a few trustworthy people, like this..."

Hearing this, Xie Datou's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly in praise, "Boss, you are truly a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan wiped away non-existent cold sweat. This guy was great in every way, except for his exaggerated style of praising people. Where did he learn that from?

It seems somewhat familiar...

Xu Jinhuan shook his head, banishing the unrealistic idea from his mind. After giving a few more instructions, he left Xie Datou's room.

Xu Youyou, who had been observing from the corner, saw Xu Jinhuan come out so quickly, and her face showed a mocking expression again.

She stepped forward and looked Xu Jinhuan up and down. "Second sister, I never knew you had such tricks up your sleeve. You even managed to fool the head constable."

"But you really have the guts to do that. Don't you feel nauseous in bed with me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan snorted coldly and slapped him across the face.

"Xu Youyou, is that ball around your neck filled with nothing but yellow waste and water? Do you think everyone is like you, wanting to take every man they see into bed?"

Xu Youyou covered her face, her anger rising to the top of her head. She had long forgotten Xu Jinhuan's fighting prowess. She reached out her hand, wanting to slap him back as stylishly as he did.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinhuan had already noticed her movements, grabbed her outstretched hand, and in a few swift movements, completely rendered her unconscious.

"Xu Jinhuan, what are you doing?" Xu Youyou looked at her arm, which had lost all feeling, with a mournful face, and was furiously helpless.

Xu Jinhuan replied with a smile, "What else can I do? Of course, I'll slap you!"

After saying that, she focused on slapping Xu Youyou's face, which she cared about most. She slapped the left side first, then the right, aiming for an even distribution so that neither side would be spared.

"stop!"

A man's voice suddenly reached their ears.

Tears welled in Xu Youyou's eyes as she looked expectantly at the person who had arrived. When she realized it was Xiao Li, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Why isn't it the head of the constables? They should bring him out and see for himself. He likes these kinds of bullying, trashy women!

Little Li had no idea what Xu Youyou was thinking. If he did, he might really abandon this cash cow and let her suffer a bit before he came back.

"You're the Second Miss Xu, right? I remember you're Miss Xu's younger sister. How could you, as the younger sister, hit your older sister? Is this the Xu family's upbringing?"

Since it wasn't time to rejoin the team yet, Xiao Li chose to try to persuade them with words.

He originally thought that with his status as a constable and these words, he would surely be able to make Xu Jinhuan apologize to Xu Youyou with a face full of shame.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinhuan slapped Xu Youyou again in front of him.

"Smack!"

This slap not only landed on Xu Youyou's face, but also inadvertently slapped Xiao Li's face as well.

Silence speaks louder than words.

Xiao Li subconsciously touched his face and inexplicably felt that it was indeed swollen...

"I'm just a natural-born person, I've never had any manners. I hit people when I want to hit them, and I curse people when I want to curse them. Who do you think you are, meddling in my business?"

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, he shook his slightly reddened hands, feeling that his body was still too weak and he needed to practice more. He thought that if he fought more people, his hands would probably stop turning red.

Xiao Li was amused by Xu Jinhuan's words. He never expected that such a rebellious girl would infiltrate among these young ladies. He subtly sized up Xu Jinhuan's figure and appearance.

I'm not so angry anymore.

With such a figure and looks, if the madam were to train her properly, she would definitely be the most beautiful courtesan.

Xiao Li's mind raced, and his smile grew increasingly warm.

"Oh dear, Miss Xu, what are you saying? I just can't stand seeing sisters arguing..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door not far away opened, and Xie Datou, the head constable, looked at the three of them with a surprised expression.

"What are you all standing there for? Xiao Li, weren't you assigned to watch over Lao Liu and Lao Wang? What are you doing here?"

After Xie Datou finished speaking, he looked at Xu Youyou suspiciously, and then at Xiao Li.

Seeing Xie Datou's gaze, Xiao Li feared that Xie Datou might think he was like Lao Wang and the others, and had tied him up as well, which would delay the organization's plans.

He immediately smiled and explained, "Boss, I just went to take a leak and heard people arguing. I came to break it up."

Xie Datou nodded and then raised his chin. "Alright, I see these two have stopped arguing. You should go do what you need to do."

Xiao Li smiled humbly, but his face turned cold as soon as he turned his head. That damned Xie Datou, once the helpers arrive, he'll make sure all that's left is Xie Datou!
