Just as Xiao Shu'er was feeling dizzy and disoriented, everything went black before her eyes, and something fell from the sky and covered her head.
She thrashed about in panic, screaming, "Who are you? Let me go! Do you know who I am? If you treat me like this, I'll tear you to pieces!"
Chang Lili had already taken the rope and quickly tied Xiao Shuer's hands and feet together, and also tightly secured the sack.
After binding Xiao Shuer into a dumpling, she ruthlessly pushed her to the ground and clapped her hands.
Xiao Shu'er continued to curse: "Which blind fool dares to treat me like this? I will definitely exterminate your entire family and wipe them out!"
Chang Lili shuddered upon hearing these terrifying words.
She had no intention of actually doing anything to Xiao Shu'er; if she were to kill her to silence her, it would mean the execution of her entire family.
Her bright, intelligent eyes darted around playfully, and she gave Xiao Shu'er a mischievous smile.
She ran some distance before shouting in a mournful voice, "Princess! Are you alright? Who are you? Let her go! How dare you kidnap the current princess?"
He spoke so vividly and emotionally that Xiao Shu'er, who was lying on the ground and completely disoriented, actually believed him. She shouted in the direction of the voice, "Chang Lili, was it you who did this?"
Chang Lili said with great acting skills, "Princess, this time it really isn't me. This person looks sleazy, with shifty eyes and a face full of sluts, and yellow teeth. Have you offended someone again? But don't worry, I'll go back to get reinforcements right away. There's no time to lose, I'm going right now!"
Hearing Chang Lili describe the person's appearance, Xiao Shu'er, who was staring blankly at the dark figure in front of her, subconsciously imagined it for a moment, and then she couldn't bear it anymore.
How ugly must someone be to look like that? Although she was arrogant and domineering, she had never made enemies with someone that ugly!
She thought about it for a moment, then felt like she was about to have a nightmare, and screamed in terror, "No! You can't leave! You stay here! Do you hear me, Chang Lili!"
As if afraid that Chang Lili would run away, Xiao Shu'er's urgent voice even carried a hint of pleading.
Chang Lili covered her mouth, almost bursting into laughter.
This is truly gratifying! Although I've messed with Xiao Shu'er before, I've never disgusted her like this before.
She thought Xiao Shu'er was afraid, which was why she wanted her to stay, but then she heard Xiao Shu'er say viciously, "Great hero, don't arrest me. I'm worthless, and I have no grudge against you. If you want to arrest someone, arrest her. She's Meng Yuxiu's favorite concubine, his most favored maid. Think about it, what kind of person is Meng Yuxiu? If you arrest this maid, Meng Yuxiu will obediently listen to you!"
Xiao Shu'er stopped, but heard no sound. She continued to embellish her story, saying, "What I said is true. That maid is more valuable. If you let me go, I will definitely not cause you any trouble! I just spoke without thinking and said the wrong thing."
She continued talking to herself, unaware that Chang Lili was already standing in front of her, looking down at her and listening to what she was saying. She half-squatted down, gritting her teeth and making a gesture as if to punch or slash at her.
After Xiao Shu'er finished speaking, she still didn't receive a response, so she became suspicious and wanted to question and scold Chang Lili in the direction her voice came from.
Chang Lili rubbed her hands together, grinned, and let out a long howl before lunging at Xiao Shuer.
Xiao Shuer suddenly felt a barrage of punches and kicks raining down on her.
"Ahhh! Help! Who is it? Is it you? Chang Lili! Help!" Xiao Shu'er screamed in agony as she was beaten, but no one answered her cries for help.
Chang Lili was ruthless in her actions, but she never slapped Xiao Shu'er in the face. She didn't want Xiao Shu'er to appear in front of everyone with bruises all over her face, as that would probably cause too much trouble and make things difficult to handle.
She struck again and again, delivering blows with such gusto that it was incredibly satisfying. Xiao Shu'er's screams were truly gratifying.
As she hit her, she cried out, "What are you doing? You're hitting the princess! Let her go! Or I'll fight you to the death! You'll get what's coming to you if you treat her like this!"
The unseen Xiao Shu'er genuinely believed that Chang Lili was locked in a battle of wits with some ugly monster, but in reality, she was still being beaten until her whole body was burning with pain.
"Chang Lili, you useless thing!"
Although Xiao Shuer was still scolding her, Chang Lili didn't feel angry at all; on the contrary, she felt even better.
After hitting her for a while, she got tired and stopped, but then stepped on Xiao Shuer's face.
Xiao Shu'er finally caught her breath. At this moment, being treated like this, she could only gasp in pain and couldn't care less about being angry and cursing.
Chang Lili lowered her voice, pretending to be a man, and said mysteriously, "You still want to deceive me? It seems that what those wronged souls said is true. Our princess is indeed such a treacherous and vicious woman."
Thinking of the ugly appearance Chang Lili had described, Xiao Shu'er's heart sank. She trembled and asked, "Who...who are you?"
"I am an envoy from the underworld, here specifically to find you, Princess. How dare you try to deceive me and use the maids of the General's Mansion to escape?" Chang Lili rubbed Xiao Shu'er's face with her foot, her voice almost cracking with pleasure.
"You...you're talking nonsense! Don't think that just because you're ugly you can pretend to be a ghost!" Xiao Shu'er's voice betrayed her fear.
Chang Lili sneered and said leisurely, "If it weren't for the evil ghosts in the underworld crying out for justice so loudly that King Yama sent me to teach you a lesson, I wouldn't have had to come to the human world. King Yama said that you should remember this lesson and not to bully others by relying on your status as a princess in the future. Otherwise, I will come to teach you a lesson again. You'd better watch yourself."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly let go of her foot, but Xiao Shu'er was already somewhat confused after being tossed around like that.
She said she didn't believe it, but she was terrified inside. As the saying goes, if you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night. But Xiao Shu'er did have countless lives on her hands.
Could it be some blind lackey who actually went to complain to the King of Hell?
Chang Lili looked at the rope on Xiao Shuer's body, took the rope hanging on her horse's back, and tied Xiao Shuer up tightly.
With nimble hands and feet, she climbed up the tree by biting one end of the rope, and jumped down from a thick branch. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, her descent suddenly slowed down, and Xiao Shu'er on the other end of the rope let out a wail as she rose into the air.
Chang Lili happily circled the tree twice, securing the rope tightly.
Having accomplished her mission, she clapped her hands and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Then, as if waking from a dream, she looked at Xiao Shuer hanging from the tree and exclaimed, "Princess! How did you get hung up in the tree? What happened? Why did I faint? Don't worry, I'll go get someone right away!"
