Madam Cen immediately composed herself and patted Xu Wanying's hand, saying gently, "Chunlan is a bit naive. I'll definitely teach her properly later. You rest first. I'll come see you again later."
"Mother, what are you saying? My sister-in-law has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. There is no better person in the world than her. Please don't punish her because of me, or your daughter-in-law will not stand for it." Xu Wanying said softly and gently, sounding like a little girl pleading.
Here we go again! This mother-in-law is such a schemer; every word she says is a trap, trying to get me to fight with Li Chunlan!
Li Chunlan's physique is twice my size. If I could beat her, I would have done it already!
When Cen Shi saw Xu Wanying's gentle and soft demeanor, her expression softened a bit. However, the thoughts that followed revealed a completely different attitude from Xu Wanying.
Immediately, Cen's expression froze on her face. However, before she understood what the system had said, she couldn't directly lose her temper. She could only try to restrain herself, say a few words, and leave.
"Cuizhu, are you alright? Come here quickly so I can see you." Xu Wanying called Cuizhu over and told her to roll up her trouser legs.
"Your knees are all red from kneeling. You don't need to serve me today. Go back to your room and rest for a couple of days. I'll have the kitchen make you some chicken soup to help you recover. Also, it's cold today, so I'll have the maids make you some knee pads. They'll keep you warm and make it easier for you to kneel next time."
"Hongmei, bring me the bruise cream, I'll put some on her."
Cuizhu didn't cry when she was asked to kneel. She was only allowed to get up after kneeling for most of the hour, and she still had to stagger in to serve. But now, seeing her master caring for her so gently, she couldn't hold back anymore, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Master, it's my fault for being useless. This Purple Gold Blood Stasis Removing Ointment is quite valuable. You should apply it to your head to avoid leaving a scar. It's a waste for me to use it." Cuizhu kept backing away.
However, she couldn't escape it in the end and was pulled over by Xu Wanying, who ordered several maids to hold her down and had Hongmei carefully apply a thick layer of ointment to her.
"Enough, enough! My knees will heal without medicine. You mustn't use this precious stuff; it will shorten my lifespan..."
Seeing her wailing and crying, Xu Wanying couldn't help but chuckle, "Go ahead and use it. You really think this is some kind of Zijin Hemorrhoid Removal Ointment? It's just a fake product that the Jiang family brought over to deceive people. None of them care whether I have a scar on my forehead or not. They're just saying nice things!"
Having been bedridden for over a month, she had already seen through many things in the Jiang family mansion.
Demons and monsters are everywhere.
