27: When I beat you, do I need to consider who you belong to?
Chuchun had no choice but to pull back the quilt and pull Lan Xiyue out of the bed.
Lan Xiyue rubbed her black hair irritably: "Chuchun, you'd better have something serious to do, otherwise I'll punish you."
"Miss, Madam Xiao has been waiting for you for almost the entire morning."
"Who is Madam Xiao? What is she doing here?"
Chuchun held her forehead helplessly, "Miss, Madam Xiao is Madam's trusted nanny, how come you don't even remember her? Madam specially sent her to teach you the rules."
Lan Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, a sarcastic smile playing on the corner of her mouth. "Ha! Didn't that good aunt teach me all the rules when I didn't know them? Why are you trying to teach me the rules again today? What are you up to?"
Lan Xiyue got up from the bed, walked to the shelf, and washed her face with cold water. The cold water droplets touching her skin instantly sobered her up.
After washing up, Chuchun hurriedly brought her clothes and helped her put them on, and then carefully combed her hair.
Lan Xiyue, wearing a light and elegant dress, walked out of the room lightly and came to the side hall.
When Madam Xiao saw her come in, she stood up and saluted with a serious attitude.
Lan Xiyue ignored him, walked over and sat down casually.
Seeing this, Madam Xiao frowned unhappily, but due to her status, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and said, "My lady, Madam has sent this old servant to teach you the rules."
Lan Xiyue only raised her eyebrows slightly, a cold smile on her lips: "I know the rules very well, I don't need Nanny to teach me again."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao frowned even more tightly, "If the young lady really understood the rules, she wouldn't have slept until almost noon."
Lan Xiyue sneered and said nonchalantly, "Why do you care about me?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao straightened her face and said sternly, "Of course, this old servant dares not discipline the young lady. I am only here under Madam's orders to teach her the rules. I hope she will learn well."
“What if I don’t learn?”
"Miss, Madam is doing this for your own good. As the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, you should understand the rules and etiquette. This will enable you to better deal with various occasions and people in the future and avoid making a fool of yourself."
Lan Xiyue raised her eyelids casually, "Chuchun, I'm hungry." Her voice was soft and lazy.
Upon hearing this, Chuchun immediately said, "Lunch is ready and warming up. I'll bring it to you right away."
Just as Chuchun turned around to leave, a palm suddenly slapped her in the face with such force that Chuchun staggered a few steps and almost fell.
Xiao Sui stood there with an angry look on his face, a barely perceptible sneer on his lips.
"How dare you! It turns out that the young lady has been led astray by you. How dare you, a slave, say "my, my" in front of the master? How disrespectful!"
Chuxia hurriedly stepped forward to support Chuchun, glaring at Xiaosui with an angry face.
Xiao Sui had been waiting for Lan Xiyue to get up for such a long time, and he had been holding back a surge of anger in his heart, just waiting for this moment to explode.
Lan Xiyue's face darkened instantly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her autumn-water eyes.
"Madam Xiao, who gave you the guts to hit my people on my territory?"
When Xiao Sui heard this, she sneered. She didn't seem to be afraid of Lan Xiyue's anger.
"This old servant is also helping the young lady to teach the servants who don't know the rules a lesson."
Lan Xiyue snorted coldly, "Chu Xia, go to the room and get this lady's whip."
Chu Xia glared at Nanny Xiao, turned quickly and ran towards the room.
Xiao Sui's heart tightened. Although this young lady was arrogant and unreasonable, she was confident that as the lady's confidante, Lan Xiyue would not dare to punish her easily even if she offended her. In the past, the young lady often tried to curry favor with her.
However, Lan Xiyue's eyes and tone at this moment made her feel a little uneasy.
Chuxia quickly ran back with the whip, "Miss, here!" She handed the whip to Lan Xiyue with both hands.
Lan Xiyue took the whip, stood up and whipped Xiao Sui.
The whip drew a sharp arc in the air, with a whistling sound, and instantly landed on Xiao Sui's right arm.
"Ah..." Xiao Sui screamed, hugged his arms, his eyes full of fear and anger.
"Miss...you hit me? I'm your servant." Her words were trembling and full of disbelief.
Lan Xiyue snorted coldly and lashed out with the whip a few more times, each one landing precisely on Xiao Sui's body.
Xiao Sui screamed in pain.
When the maids outside heard the noise, they all retreated. They all knew the young lady's temper. Once she got angry, it was like a storm and no one could stop her.
Chuqiu took a look inside, gave Chudong a look, and then ran out secretly.
Xiao Sui's screams gradually became weaker, her face was covered with sweat and tears, and her clothes were torn by the whip.
"Do I need to consider who you belong to before I hit you?" Lan Xiyue's words were full of sarcasm and provocation, as if she was telling Xiao Sui that no matter who she belonged to, no matter how powerful her backing was, in front of her, she was just an ant that could be trampled on at will.
Lan Xiyue retracted the whip, turned around, walked to the table and sat down, casually crossing her legs.
The old nanny Xiao Sui, who usually thought highly of herself, was now slumped on the ground in pain, groaning and gasping for breath, with tear marks on her face, looking particularly miserable.
"Miss... I am an old servant who has been serving you, Madam. You actually beat me like this for a lowly maid. I must tell you, Madam, to see how arrogant you are." Xiao Sui's voice was filled with tears and resentment.
Chuchun, who was standing aside, had a look of worry in her eyes. Although she was a maid, she looked at Lan Xiyue worriedly, fearing that the eldest lady would be punished because of the conflict between the eldest lady and Xiao Sui for her.
"Hidden maid? Madam Xiao, you are a servant yourself. Do you think you have the right to call her a humble maid?"
Xiao Sui's face turned pale when he heard this, but he still said with all his strength: "This old slave is valued by the Madam, so naturally this lowly maid can't compare with this old slave."
Lan Xiyue just sneered, "Bah! My Chuchun is not just a lowly servant, she's also my confidante, and even more so, an old servant like you can't compare to her. Let me tell you, if you want to complain, I don't even take it seriously, go ahead and complain!"
Xiao Sui's face became even uglier as he listened to Lan Xiyue's words.
Chuxia looked at Lan Xiyue with stars in her eyes. Her eldest daughter was getting better and better. She liked the current eldest daughter so much!
Chu Xia looked at Aunt Xiao lying on the ground, snorted softly, and thought to herself: "Serves her right!" Usually, Aunt Xiao relied on being the Madam's confidant to bully others.
