Suddenly, a huge crowd of people appeared before him, and Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel surprised. He then frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Now that we are all Madam's people, it is only natural that we should serve Madam well."
It was Qiuyue who answered. As she spoke, she stepped forward, poured herself a cup of tea, and handed it to Li Chang'an, saying with a smile, "Please have some tea, Madam."
This was the first time Li Chang'an had ever encountered such an impolite maid, and he felt both angry and helpless.
But Qiuyue thought she was incredibly arrogant. She felt that even if she was a maid, so what? Even if she was a maid, she could still give her master a hard time!
Unfortunately, this time she encountered Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an raised his eyes, his expression indifferent, but his eyes revealed a chilling coldness as he stared straight at Qiu Yue.
Qiuyue felt her scalp tingling from the other person's gaze, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
"Since when can a servant make decisions for his master?"
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke in a cold voice.
Qiu Yue suddenly felt caught in a dilemma, and a cold sweat broke out on her back—the aura of the woman in front of her was really terrifying!
The next second, there was a loud crash, and the teacup in her hand was thrown to the ground and shattered into a pile of pieces, mixed in with the tea, making her look extremely disheveled.
It was Suzaku who made the move.
At this moment, Qiuyue was so frightened that she dared not breathe. She even sensed a near-death danger emanating from the woman in red.
My heart pounded with anxiety, and I couldn't help but berate myself for being so clever as to do something so stupid.
"Oh dear, this is really terrible! This was Madam's favorite tea set, and now you've broken one of them. What are we going to do?"
Zhuque suddenly spoke softly, glancing at Li Chang'an with a half-smile as she spoke.
The other person immediately understood and smiled slightly, replying, "Which hand did she use to hold the teacup just now? Since her claws are so unusable, she shouldn't use them. Hmm, I seem to remember that she used both hands to hold it."
Upon hearing this, Qiuyue trembled with fear. The other maids in the room were so frightened that they almost buried their heads in the ground. In addition to their fear, they couldn't help but curse Qiuyue in their hearts for being such a troublemaker and for taking it upon herself to bring them in to their deaths.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned extremely cold.
After hearing Li Chang'an's words, Zhuque smiled faintly and then said casually, "I also think what Madam said makes a lot of sense. Since it's useless, let's just discard it!"
After saying that, with a whoosh, Zhuque drew a gleaming dagger from her waist and then leisurely waved it in her hand.
Qiu Yue suddenly felt a cold light flash before her eyes. She couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly to look, and then she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she collapsed to the ground.
"Madam, do you want to cut off her fingers, or do you want to cut off her entire hand? If it's really necessary, I'll go get a different knife and just chop off her arm!"
As Zhuque spoke, she tossed the dagger in her hand into the air and caught it again. Her eyes kept glancing at the person on the ground who was still terrified, like a mouse seeing a cat. The smile on her lips became more and more obvious.
Upon hearing this, Qiuyue was so frightened that she almost fainted on the spot. With her face ashen as death, she trembled and began to kowtow to Li Chang'an and Zhuque, begging for mercy.
"Madam, spare me! Madam, spare me! It's all my fault, I was too clever for my own good, I'll never dare to do it again..."
Qiuyue slammed her head against the ground with loud thuds, and soon blood streamed down her forehead. Coupled with her ugly, dead-looking face, she appeared exceptionally miserable.
Li Chang'an stared at the man expressionlessly, thinking to himself, "Why didn't this man think about the consequences when he was so arrogant?"
Then, Li Chang'an winked at Zhuque, who was standing to the side, and said slowly, "Zhuque, let's do it, she's giving me a headache..."
The other maids present were also terrified. Some of the more timid ones even covered their eyes, afraid that they would see some bloody scene.
Upon hearing that Li Chang'an wanted Zhuque to take action, Qiuyue cried even more bitterly, kowtowing more and more frequently, until a small patch of ground in front of her was covered with blood flowing from her forehead.
With a swift motion, Zhuque casually tossed the dagger in her hand as if throwing dice. The dagger flew straight out and landed squarely on the ground between Qiuyue's hands.
If it had been just half an inch off, the dagger would have severed one of Qiuyue's fingers.
Seemingly not expecting things to happen so suddenly, Qiuyue stared blankly at the dagger between her hands, completely stunned, before rolling her eyes and fainting from fright.
Although the bloody scene they had imagined did not occur, the incident still left a considerable psychological scar on the other maids present.
They remained standing guard with their heads bowed, looking terrified, like sticks stuck in the ground.
"Why aren't you dragging her out? Do you really want to collect her corpse?"
Seeing the maids' trembling expressions, Zhuque couldn't help but frown and remind them. Then, looking at Qiuyue, who was already unconscious on the ground, she couldn't help but complain in her heart—with such a small amount of courage, they actually dared to be so arrogant!
I really don't know where she got the courage!
The maids were eager to escape this place, so they rushed forward and carried the person out. Then Zhuque called two of them back. Although they were terrified, they could only stay and hurriedly clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
Perhaps due to excessive tension, both maids who stayed behind to clean up cut their hands. But at this moment, they didn't care about their bleeding wounds. As if they didn't feel pain, they quickly finished cleaning up and then hurriedly ran away with the pile of broken porcelain shards.
This time it's finally peaceful.
Li Chang'an sat leisurely in his chair, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and exchanged a smile with Zhuque.
This matter naturally reached Qin Xia's ears very quickly.
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots! Useless trash!"
Upon hearing that things had not gone as she had expected, Qin Xia was so angry that she slammed her hand on the table and began to curse loudly.
Even Xing'er was secretly shocked. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but she never dreamed that Qiu Yue would be the one to suffer this time.
