Chapter 143 Tears are too hot
Li Ruanruan stood aside, holding her arm that was pinched and hurt.
Nanny Zhang glared at Li Ruanruan fiercely. Although she didn't hit her again, she would not let her off easily.
He immediately said, "Did you think I asked you to be the master? There is still so much work to do. Why don't you go get some water and wipe the floor clean. Make sure it's spotless."
Aunt Zhang said viciously, "If you can't finish wiping it, you won't be able to eat."
Li Runrun fetched a basin of water and knelt down to mop the floor.
She didn't wipe it very carefully, she was just pretending. They probably wanted to embarrass her and humiliate her, so they naturally couldn't bear to see her idle.
But she doesn't need to take it too seriously. Even if she does well, she won't have a good meal. She is too familiar with these methods.
They will not be nicer to her just because she is obedient and does well.
Before Liruanruan could wipe the floor twice, the basin was kicked over.
Nanny Zhang put her hands on her hips and pointed at her nose, scolding, "You lowly servant, do you really think you're the master? Have you forgotten how to work after not working for so long? You're so slow, how can you finish your work if you're lazy?"
Li Runrun's clean clothes were soaked by the dirty water. She took the copper basin and threw it in front of Aunt Zhang.
She stood up, with a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I'm done with this. At worst, I won't be fed. Miss Xu hasn't married yet, right? If you have the guts, just kill me, a concubine. My life is worthless anyway. My death is not a big deal, but the rift between the young master and your young lady is brewing. I don't know if it's worth it!"
Li Ruanruan went straight back to the ear room and kicked the copper basin hard when passing by.
The copper basin clanged against the ground, startling Aunt Zhang.
Then, Aunt Zhang seemed to be raging with rage: "How dare you! You think I can't deal with you, a little bitch!"
Nanny Zhang rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily, "Someone, drag her out and make her kneel down!"
Soon, a nanny and a maid came over, dragged Li Ruanruan to the yard, and pressed her down on the cold floor. Li Ruanruan was no match for their strength and was forced to kneel on the ground.
Nanny Zhang brought a basin of cold water and poured it directly at her. Li Ruanruan was cold from head to toe and shivered in such a cold winter day.
She hadn't felt this cold in a long time. She knelt on the ground, her breath turning into white mist. Her hair felt wet and froze into ice.
She raised her eyes with redness at the corners and stared at Aunt Zhang, but there was no sign of submission on her face. Instead, she smiled.
She looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "That's all you can do? Kill me if you dare. I just came today and I'm dead tomorrow. How good is that? If it gets out, how good will your young lady's reputation be?"
Aunt Zhang was so angry that she threw another bucket of cold water on her. Her soft smile became even more wanton and ostentatious: "What's the difference between you and the old maggots in the gutter? You only know these dirty tricks. Use them on me, come on, come on!"
Li Runrun struggled desperately, then she bit the hand of the nanny who was holding her down, and the nanny screamed miserably.
Li Ruanruan's mouth was full of blood from biting it, and she spat it out again.
Then she rushed forward, grabbed Aunt Zhang's head, dragged her into the water tank, and pressed her down hard.
Looking at Aunt Zhang's hands flailing helplessly in the air, Li Runrun lifted her up when she was about to drown.
Before Aunt Zhang could take a breath of cold air into her lungs, Li Ruanruan pressed her down hard.
This happened several times, and then she picked up Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang started crying and begging for mercy.
"I thought you were a good dog, but that's all you can do."
Li Runrun noticed the servant behind her reacting and rushing towards her. She pushed Aunt Zhang away and overturned the water tank.
Watching the water splashing all over the people who came up to hold her down.
She stood in the yard, wet, like a ghost that had just crawled out of the water, and smiled coldly.
She glanced at everyone present, then went back to the side room and locked the door.
Li Ruanruan was still very cold. She was shivering from the cold. She originally wanted to act gentler, but her repeated concessions were just a way for these people to get more than they wanted.
Just break up.
It doesn't matter if she goes to file a complaint against her. Once she returns to the Marquis' Mansion, the prince will protect her.
If he doesn't protect her, she will suffer again. Is there any taste or taste in suffering?
At least when she goes back, Ye Qiaoqiao can speak for her, so she won't die.
If you don't die, you can go back to the Marquis' Mansion to be punished. If you get sick or injured, there are medicines to treat it. It is better than getting sick or injured here and bearing it alone.
Just throw the jar away.
Li Runrun quickly took off her wet clothes, changed into clean clothes, and wiped her hair.
I was still shivering all over and felt a little pain in my lower abdomen.
Li Ruanruan covered it with her hand, thinking that her period was about to come.
But please don't come. Wait until she goes back. Otherwise, how will you survive here?
In fact, when I was a lowly slave, I often suffered such torture. My clothes were not warm at all, my hands and feet got frostbite in the winter, and I had to save firewood.
I didn’t feel cold at that time, and I had to get up early every day to work.
Now I have changed into warm and thick clothes, but I am still shivering with cold.
Li Ruanruan is funny. It is true that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
It's actually concrete.
Does that also mean that the prince took good care of her while she was with him?
Thinking of the prince, tears welled up in Li Ruanruan's eyes.
But no matter how well the prince raised her, he still sent her to a place like this to suffer.
Li Runrun used her cold hands to wipe the tears from her face, but she felt that the tears were very hot.
In fact, she knows a lot of things. If she agrees to the prince, she will live a good life.
But she couldn't think like that. In the beginning, it was the prince who pulled her out of the quagmire.
Moreover, she did not want to commit herself to the prince. She had no feelings for him. She only liked the Crown Prince.
That was her husband.
She treated him as her husband.
Li Ruanruan wiped her tears and opened the door.
The servants stared at her covetously, and Li Runrun glared back at them fiercely, as if she would fight them to the death if they dared to get close.
Li Runrun went to the kitchen, took some firewood, a copper basin and a fire starter.
She went back to the ear room, bolted the door, and skillfully lit the fire.
Someone came and knocked on her door, cursing at her, but Li Runrun didn't listen at all.
She warmed herself up all over, then took the damp, moldy and wet clothes and spread them on the tables and chairs to dry.
She moved a small stool and sat next to the brazier. It was so comfortable that her hands and feet were warm, and she fell asleep with her knees hugged.
When Xu Wan came back, Nanny Zhang told her everything.
Xu Wan was not angry after hearing this. She maintained a cold attitude and drank half a cup of tea while listening to what Aunt Zhang said.
Then he said: "I knew she was not a simple person, but I must establish her power."
