The servant looked at the smooth pebbles and felt a dull ache in a certain part of his body. The lake water suddenly turned icy cold. He swallowed hard and said, "Miss Chu, I don't understand what you're saying."
"You don't understand, do you?" Chu Jinjin nodded, and the next moment, she smashed the pebble in her hand hard on the servant's head.
Blood instantly spread across the lake.
Several screams rang out.
Chu Lanlan was shocked, Yang Minjing and several maids were terrified, and the loudest screams came from the servants.
Chu Jinjin pressed down on his head, her slender, fair hands seemingly possessing the strength of cast iron, slowly pushing the struggling servant into the water.
Li Yulu and several young ladies rushed over upon hearing the noise, and were immediately terrified.
The elegant artificial hill and lake have turned into a scene of hell, with servants struggling desperately, their blood gushing out as if boiling.
Li Yulu's voice trembled and cracked: "Chu Jinjin, are you crazy? What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Chu Jinjin casually released the servant and said coldly, "You ask me what I'm doing? I should be asking you that."
In this era, it's incredibly easy to ruin a young woman's life.
Just like how she was divorced on the second day of her marriage, just like Chu Lanlan who escaped this calamity.
If it weren't for her, if Chu Lanlan had fallen into the water, there would definitely have been servants already arranged to rescue her. In that case, Chu Lanlan would have been soaked in front of everyone, and even if nothing had happened, her reputation would have been ruined.
Given the Yang family's reputation, this marriage is highly likely to fall through.
Even if Chu Lanlan remarries in the future, she can only marry someone of lower social standing.
The servant surfaced, panting heavily like a broken bellows, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Chu Jinjin.
The rumors were indeed true.
This woman is even more ruthless than a bandit!
He had no doubt that Chu Jinjin would kill him.
"Are you awake now?" Chu Jinjin raised her eyelids, her voice icy cold, as if from hell. "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
The servant shuddered, almost wanting to shrink back into the water for a moment, feeling safer that way. He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Chu, I really don't know what you're talking about. You heard it yourself, Miss Yang asked me to find the net. I... I didn't do anything. I don't know where I offended you."
Li Yulu quickly understood the situation and gradually calmed down, her face darkening: "Chu Jinjin, what do you mean? This is not the Chu family home, nor is it a bandit's den. You can't act so recklessly here."
"Well said." Chu Jinjin kicked the servant back into the water, patting the water droplets off herself. "What if I weren't here today?"
The current situation is that the servants did not bump into Chu Lanlan, and nothing happened.
Just as the servant said, he simply slipped and fell as he passed by.
But Chu Jinjin didn't want to reason with her.
These people are unreasonable.
A woman in white standing next to Li Yulu said disdainfully, "Miss Chu, you're overthinking things. No one wants to harm your sister."
Chu Jinjin glanced at her: "What if it were you?"
Nothing really happened, but everyone knows what will happen.
Chu Jinjin stepped forward and said in a low voice, "If you were knocked into the water and rescued by a stranger, would you still be able to say such things?"
The woman's expression changed slightly, but she remained defiant: "You're worrying unnecessarily."
“Miss Chu, he is a servant born into my mother’s family and has been loyal for many years. He would never do such a thing as you described.” Li Yulu changed her tone and said earnestly, “However, what you said makes sense. But what happened tonight was due to my lack of consideration.”
As she spoke, she knelt down and said solemnly, "I apologize to you and Miss Chu. As for this servant, I will hand him over to my mother to deal with. If he really has ulterior motives as you say, she will definitely give my sister an explanation."
Chu Lanlan pulled down Chu Jinjin's sleeve and secretly gave her a wink.
This should be considered a good result.
They were in someone else's home, and there was no evidence.
"Remember, one concession will only embolden the enemy." Chu Jinjin patted her shoulder. This was a lesson learned from countless near-death experiences in the apocalypse. If we don't pursue this today, there will be another Li family tomorrow, another with unknown schemes and tricks.
What she had to do was beat them to death, until they thought they were tough enough to hurt someone again.
Li Yulu frowned: "Third Miss Chu, what do you want to do? How about you beat this servant to death to vent your anger?"
The servant was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "Miss, spare my life!"
This wasn't just a casual remark; a lackey's life is worthless, and keeping the peace is more important.
Chu Jinjin waved her hand: "Why would I kill him? He's just a pitiful pawn."
In that short time, almost everyone who had attended the flower-viewing banquet had arrived. They were all whispering among themselves, and it was impossible to hear what they were saying, but judging from their expressions, they were basically all on Li Yulu's side.
Li Yulu felt more confident and said calmly, "I apologize to you, and you can deal with this servant as you see fit. Miss Chu is still not satisfied. Do I have to jump into the water to be satisfied?"
It's as if she's the one who's been wronged.
Chu Jinjin had already made a plan: "No need for that. You're delicate and precious, so you can just use your wits."
Li Yulu: "Chu Jinjin, you..."
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously. You can take it as a compliment to your intelligence." Chu Jinjin wasn't good at arguing, but she would do things unpredictably. "How about this, I'll call a few people and beat them up to vent my anger."
Li Yulu: "......"
The woman in white, unable to bear it any longer, yelled, "You shrew!"
“That’s right, I’ll remember you.” Chu Jinjin gave her a deep look, then turned and kicked the servant. “If you want to live, take me to the guards’ quarters.”
