The servants silently prayed: "We are just following orders. If you are truly sent by your superiors, please forgive our offense..."
"Don't worry, Niannian won't blame you." The little boy looked at the fierce-looking servants, smiled sweetly, and said in his childish voice.
? ! !
The servants immediately stopped what they were doing, their expressions changed, and they looked at the little boy with awe. For a moment, everyone was frozen in place.
The little boy tilted his head, looking at the uncles with a puzzled expression, and said in his babyish voice, "Niannian keeps her word, so don't worry. Niannian isn't like that fierce, ugly older sister who's unreasonable!"
"Hurry up and do it! What, you think I'm just going to leave you alone?!" Chen Yuanxin's anger intensified upon hearing the little boy's words, and she sharply rebuked him, "Stop playing tricks! Even if a god descended to earth today, he couldn't save you!"
The little dumpling looked up at Chen Yuanxin, who was fiercely scolding the servants, and puffed out her cheeks angrily. Then, her ears twitched, her dimples disappeared, and she hummed, "Really?"
As proud as Chen Yuanxin was, she had always gotten whatever she wanted, so the little boy's disbelief made her feel deeply humiliated.
She stared coldly at the little baby, her fists clenched, the words forced out through clenched teeth, chilling and menacing, "Heh, I'd like to see how long you can keep up this arrogance!"
The next moment, screams rose and fell in the distance.
Wave after wave of increasingly shrill and terrified screams drew closer, reaching their ears in the blink of an eye.
"ah--?!"
Just as Chen Yuanxin was about to ask the maid what had happened, she heard the maid's shrill and terrified screams.
Startled by the piercing scream, her face changed drastically, and she instinctively covered her ears, withdrawing her hand that was about to lift the curtain.
But it was too late. Her hand lifted a corner, and through the gap, a hideous fang suddenly appeared in her vision.
The next moment, a gaping maw suddenly opened, almost touching the ground, terrifying all around. A deafening roar of a ferocious beast, like birds taking flight, seemed to shake the entire earth.
"Awooo—!"
The tiger roared and stopped, its roar sending all the servants surrounding the little boy flying.
The servants, no longer caring about the young lady's orders, fled in panic, scrambling and tumbling, filling the surrounding area with howling and wailing sounds.
However, the old women who had just been pushed aside by the servants were also frightened by the sudden appearance of the fierce tiger battle field. At least they did not feel the fear brought by the tiger's intimidation at close range.
Those ordinary people who came to watch the spectacle were also spared from the disaster.
Chen Yuanxin was worried that they would hear something they shouldn't, so she had the servants drive them all far away. Therefore, at this moment, the only ones who were truly being intimidated by Zhan Yu were the people from the Duke of Chang's mansion.
In an instant, the fortune-telling stall, which had just been surrounded by people, seemed to have vanished, leaving only the three little bundles of joy sitting on the stall and Chen Yuanxin screaming incessantly in the carriage.
The servants had all fled, and the old women had retreated to the other side of the crowd. As for the maids of the Duke's mansion, they had long been frightened and either ran away or fainted.
