Chu Yiyi's anger, which had spread from the Xu family to the Chu family, showed no signs of abating.
"Fool, can't you see me? Are you blind or have a broken leg?"
Because she was angry, Chu Yiyi walked very fast. At the corner of the corridor, a maidservant was unable to avoid her and bumped into her.
Chu Yiyi was knocked back two steps, and the maid behind her caught her in time.
The little maid was knocked to the ground with a loud thud.
She didn't even have time to cry out in pain. Knowing that the person she bumped into was her young mistress, the maid was terrified and knelt down with a thud.
"This servant, this servant..."
She was already scared, and after Chu Yiyi's scolding, she couldn't even speak clearly. She hung her head and didn't dare to look up.
Seeing the little maid trembling, Chu Yiyi felt even more frustrated.
Why weren't those damned servants so subservient back when we were at the Xu family's house?
"Take him away and sell him. Don't keep him in the manor and pollute my eyes."
Normally, such incidents would only result in scolding or beatings, but today Chu Yiyi suffered a humiliation at the Xu family's house.
Because the Xu family refused to sell their servants, Chu Yiyi insisted on selling her own family members to vent her anger.
"Miss, I didn't mean to," the maid finally said.
"Miss, I will be careful in the future. Please don't sell me off. Spare my life."
The maid kowtowed to Chu Yiyi while her lips trembled.
Maids like them, who were sold off for making mistakes, were rarely bought back by other wealthy families.
I'm afraid you'll make another mistake and upset the family, which would ruin the reputation of the childcare business.
Therefore, most of them would be bought by others to be wives or to do all kinds of hard labor, and they would not have enough to eat and would often be beaten.
Even worse, she might be sold to a brothel, but neither of those options were what she wanted.
Chu Yiyi kicked the maid's head away, her face full of disgust. "Take her away right now!"
The old woman waiting nearby rushed forward and dragged the girl away. The girl tried to beg for mercy, but the old woman covered her mouth.
Her wide-open eyes revealed boundless fear, and the servants around her broke out in a cold sweat.
Although I don't know why Miss is angry, she is in a bad mood, so I must not provoke her further.
Otherwise, these old folks might have suffered quite a bit too.
After the person was taken away, Chu Yiyi stepped into the courtyard.
Along the way, the maids and servants all kept their distance, lowering their heads to minimize their presence.
I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I might offend a lady and end up being sold off.
As soon as she entered the room, Chu Yiyi couldn't hold back and started smashing things.
While the items in her room weren't exactly priceless, they were certainly quite valuable.
In an instant, all the vases, ornaments, and jade decorations were shattered into pieces.
When Madam Chu arrived, she saw her usually well-mannered daughter acting like a shrew, smashing things and shouting.
Her neatly combed hair was now quite messy, and some fragments were still clinging to the hem of her skirt.
She looks nothing like the eldest daughter of the Chu family now. If others saw her like this, they would laugh their heads off.
"Yiyi!" Madam Chu's voice finally calmed her down.
The grievances he had suffered outside finally found release when he saw Madam Chu.
"mother."
Madam Chu wanted to say a few words to her daughter, but Chu Yiyi's eyes reddened as soon as she opened her mouth, and she collapsed into Madam Chu's arms.
"My son, what's wrong with you?" The scolding that was about to come out turned into deep concern.
"Mother, sob sob sob." Chu Yiyi was extremely aggrieved and began to cry while leaning against Madam Chu's arms.
"What happened? Who bullied you?" Madam Chu's heart broke when she heard her daughter crying.
Chu Yiyi felt ashamed and wronged by what happened today. No matter how Madam Chu asked her, she just cried and didn't say anything.
Madam Chu was so anxious that she had no choice but to ask the maidservant beside her to explain the whole story.
"Outrageous!" Madam Chu was even angrier than Chu Yiyi after hearing this. "They simply don't respect the Chu family at all."
If Chu Yiyi hadn't been nestled in her arms, Madam Chu would have slammed her hand on the table twice.
"What is the Xu family? How dare they humiliate my eldest daughter, the Chu family, like this?"
"I thought Xu Yi was a good person, but I was wrong about him."
Hearing Xu Yi's name, Chu Yiyi cried even harder, "Mother, I said before that Xu Yi was arrogant, but you insisted that we didn't know each other."
“I humbled myself and went to see him several times, but he not only didn’t take it seriously, but eventually kicked me out of the Xu family home.”
Just as Fu Man'er was lost in thought, Xu Yi directly told Chu Yiyi to see the guest out.
They even bluntly told her not to come to the Xu family again, as no one in the Xu family welcomes her.
"I never knew it would turn out like this," Madam Chu said guiltily to her daughter. "It's all my fault for misjudging her."
After the last banquet where the Xu couple brought Xu Yi to see her, Madam Chu asked many people to inquire about Xu Yi.
The final result was satisfactory, although the daughter said she wasn't.
However, Madam Chu understood that she was not saying one thing but meaning another. She was used to being fawned over by everyone, and she would definitely feel uncomfortable if someone suddenly ignored her.
After probing a few times, Madam Chu realized that her daughter still had feelings for Xu Yi.
Of all the people who have come to propose marriage, I've never seen anyone make Chu Yiyi so interested.
More importantly, the couple were very satisfied with Xu Yi and the Xu family.
From Xu Yi and Liu Fang's perspective, they have two sons. If Xu Yi marries into the Chu family, the couple will have one more son.
Furthermore, the Xu family has only had male heirs for three generations. If Xu Yi could give the Chu family a male heir, then the Chu family's business could be considered to have been passed down.
Based on the above considerations, Madam Chu advised her daughter to get to know Xu Yi properly first.
Chu Yiyi is a great beauty, proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; Xu Yi is a man.
What man wouldn't like a beautiful woman, especially one with a very good background?
Therefore, Chu Yiyi reluctantly lowered her pride and went to the guard post to visit Xu Yi and bring him some things.
That was the first time she met Xu Yi. At that time, Chu Yiyi's affectionate gaze made Xu Yi secretly think that something was wrong.
So Xu Yi made things clear at the time, and when Chu Yiyi visited again later, Xu Yi refused to see her.
He wasn't one to drag things out. Whether this Miss Chu genuinely liked him or was just curious, he didn't want to have anything to do with Chu Yiyi anymore.
Unable to bear the setbacks, Chu Yiyi led her people to ambush the Xu family after several fruitless attempts.
Before even meeting the person, I saw the things I had sent out being ruined like this.
How could I not be angry? If I hadn't left without a servant, that beast from the Xu family would definitely not have survived until today.
“Mother, and that Fu Man’er who was adopted by the Xu family, she said a lot of things to humiliate my daughter today.”
Chu Yiyi raised her tear-streaked face and, choking back sobs, repeated what Fu Man'er had said.
"Fu Man'er?" Madam Chu had no recollection of this name.
But upon hearing that the Xu family had adopted her, she assumed she was someone of low social standing.
"Daughter, don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you."
“That beast from the Xu family must be beaten to death, and that adopted girl must come before you and kowtow to admit her mistake.”
Madam Chu had had a smooth and successful life for most of her life, so in her opinion, these were not big deals.
“Yiyi, that Xu Yiniang isn’t a good person either. Make him come to our house to apologize to you.”
"From now on, you should not associate with him anymore. I'll keep an eye out for better ones for you."
Madam Chu suddenly realized a problem: Xu Yi was too resourceful, and her daughter might not be able to control him.
What if she and her husband pass away in the future, and their daughter is bullied?
It seems I can only find someone with a gentle personality, someone my daughter can control.
Chu Yiyi was satisfied with the previous sentences, but she hesitated when she heard the last sentence.
Undeniably, Xu Yi is an outstanding individual in both appearance and character.
Xu Yi is the first man she has ever liked in her life.
"Mother, I..." Chu Yiyi didn't know what to say, even though everyone had said they didn't like her.
"Mother, I'm not reconciled. Xu Yi, why doesn't he like me?"
There are countless young men in Yun Town who are lining up to marry her, many of whom come from families with even better backgrounds than Xu Yi.
"Yiyi." Madam Chu gently wiped away her daughter's tears.
"You're still young. If he doesn't like you, he's blind. He'll regret missing out on a girl like you later."
"Listen to your mother, let's stop thinking about Xu Yi. When your father comes back, I'll talk to him."
"I will definitely avenge you." As she said this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Madam Chu's eyes.
She doesn't care if her daughter does something wrong; she thinks others should suffer the consequences. But if someone hurts her daughter, she wants to make that person suffer even more.
The Chu family has a certain network of connections in the town, and they also have business dealings with the Xu family's restaurant.
Tell Mr. and Mrs. Xu what happened today, and they should know the consequences of offending the Xu family.
What a Fu Man'er! What a beast! He hurt her daughter's feelings, and she'll never have a good life.
