Although Xiaoqiao was unhappy about having to take the old woman back, she still had to obey her mistress's orders! She pouted, glared fiercely at Lin Yuxin, and thought to herself, "Wait till we get back, you'll be sorry!"
Xiao Qiao stepped forward and reached out to help Lin Yuxin with a look of disdain. Lin Yuxin didn't care who helped her, as long as someone was there to help her!
So Lin Yuxin tilted her body and fell onto Xiaoqiao, causing Xiaoqiao to stumble and almost lose her balance.
Xiao Qiao's face changed, and she gritted her teeth. This old hag was still so heavy-hearted!
As Lin Yuxin fell towards Xiaoqiao, Fang Fangfei quickly withdrew her hand, subtly wiping it behind her back, clearly disgusted.
Let's go!
Xiaoqiao whispered something in Lin Yuxin's ear through gritted teeth.
"Ouch! This old woman can't walk anymore!! My legs! They hurt so much!! Young lady, why don't you carry me on your back? Otherwise, I'll be in so much pain before I even get to the City Lord's Mansion!! Ouch! It hurts so much!!"
Lin Yuxin had no intention of leaving just like that, and she lay on Xiaoqiao's body and started wailing again.
"You old hag, don't push your luck! Or you'll go in and never come out alive!!"
She was furious; how could she expect her to carry her? Why didn't she just die? She tried to throw the old woman to the ground, but after struggling for a while, she couldn't get her off.
She was so angry her face turned green. Is this what you call acting like she's going to die? That's more than a young person's strength!!
For a fleeting moment, Xiaoqiao felt that she and the young lady had been deceived!
"Oh dear!! That little brat brought this old woman into the City Lord's mansion, only to kill me? What a vicious heart she has!! I'm not going, I'd rather die on this street, I'm not going to the City Lord's mansion!! Oh dear! The City Lord's mansion treats human life like dirt!!! The City Lord's young lady is a heart of stone!!!"
Lin Yuxin was threatened and immediately became unhappy. Her body slid down like a boneless snake, and she sat on the ground, wailing again.
The surrounding people were initially impressed by the understanding nature of the young lady of the city lord's mansion when they saw the old woman being taken to the mansion to recuperate. They also envied the old woman's good fortune, thinking that being able to stay in the mansion for a few days was a blessing earned over many lifetimes.
Before she even left, she overheard them saying they were planning to take her inside and kill her?
This is outrageous! My moral compass started overflowing again, and I immediately launched a new round of condemnation!
"Oh my! Is this true? Miss Fang brought the old woman into the mansion so that she wouldn't leave alive? That's too vicious!"
"I don't know? Maybe it's true?"
"Oh my! I never expected Miss Fang to be this kind of person? Who would dare marry her in the future? She could die anywhere in her family and no one would even know! It's terrifying!!"
The last trace of a smile vanished from Fang Fangfei's face. She stepped forward and slapped Xiao Qiao across the face, scolding her:
"Smack!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and take the old woman back home for treatment! Can you afford to take responsibility if her condition worsens?"
"Miss! Miss, I was wrong. I will take this old woman back to her residence right away."
Xiaoqiao was stunned by the blow. Her mistress was usually gentle and kind. Although she knew that her mistress was not such a simple person, she never expected that she would hit her today.
It was clear that the young lady was truly angry, and Xiaoqiao was somewhat frightened. After all, no matter how proud she was, her indenture was still in the young lady's hands, so she quickly begged for mercy.
Then Xiaoqiao hurriedly squatted down and said to Lin Yuxin in a humble voice:
"Grandma, I was just talking nonsense. I beg you to forgive me. I will carry you back to the manor for treatment right away."
As she spoke, she turned her back and let Lin Yuxin climb onto her back.
Lin Yuxin raised an eyebrow, looking at the back of the person squatting in front of her, and then at the city lord's young lady standing in front of her with an inscrutable expression.
These two, master and servant, are quite interesting!
"Oh! It's alright now that you've explained it, don't be angry! I'm not an unreasonable person, oh, thank you for your hard work, young lady!"
This time, Lin Yuxin was no longer coy. She changed her previous dramatic demeanor and climbed onto the small back with a smile.
Xiao Qiao was almost unable to breathe from the weight, and after a while, she slowly carried Lin Yuxin on her back and then walked laboriously toward the City Lord's Mansion.
Lin Yuxin winked at the two people, one big and one small, not far away, signaling them not to follow her, and then comfortably lay down on Xiaoqiao's back to sleep.
Fang Fangfei gritted her teeth as she watched Lin Yuxin's retreating figure, her eyes filled with murderous intent, completely devoid of the gentle and charming demeanor she had shown just moments before.
Several people who hadn't left yet witnessed this scene were startled, and seemed to understand something, but dared not say anything more and walked away with their heads down.
Fang Fangfei flicked her sleeves and left as well.
Lie Yan and Cheng Tinghao were left standing there, dumbfounded.
"Um... Ninth Prince, has the Princess Consort always been this willful?"
Lie Yan stared blankly at Lin Yuxin and the others' retreating figures, unsure whether to follow them or go back to get reinforcements.
"You'll get used to it. Your sister's ideas are a bit unusual!"
Cheng Tinghao glanced in the direction Lin Yuxin left, then looked away, his gaze towards Lie Yan filled with pity.
Lie Yan understood instantly. She pursed her lips, feeling a pang of longing to return to her camp on the border of Xia Kingdom and the Northern Frontier!
"Let's go back! Let's go back and tell Brother Li first!"
Cheng Tinghao spoke again in a low voice, then turned and walked towards the inn.
"Aren't you going to protect the princess?"
Lie Yan was puzzled. Didn't the Ninth Prince and the Princess have a good relationship? Why wasn't the Ninth Prince worried at all when the Princess was in danger?
"It's good enough that my sister doesn't bully others! Let's go!"
