Chapter 24: Vent the anger on his maid and beat up Aunt Zhang!
The night is as dark as ink and the moonlight is as bright as a silver thread. After Lan Xiyue finished bathing, she was wrapped in a light gauze, with water droplets still on her hair, just like a lotus leaf slightly wet with morning dew, fresh and refined.
Chuchun held a dry handkerchief and gently wiped her long hair that looked like a waterfall. Her eyes were full of admiration: "Miss, your hair is really beautiful, so thick and smooth. It's really enviable."
Chu Xia was busy making the bed nearby, her hands and feet nimble, her mouth chattering non-stop: "Our young lady has been a beauty since she was young, with skin as white as snow and eyes as beautiful as a painting. But later... well, Second Young Lady instigated her to wear heavy makeup every day, which actually obscured our young lady's natural beauty. In my opinion, Second Young Lady is jealous of our young lady's beauty!"
Lan Xiyue heard this and rolled her eyes slightly, a faint smile curling up at the corner of her mouth, "I was really stupid before!"
Chuxia stuck out her tongue. The young lady was so nice now. She didn't get angry when she said these things. If it were in the past, she wouldn't dare to speak like that.
Seeing this, Chuchun was secretly glad that the young lady had finally come to her senses, but she seemed to have something to say, but was hesitant.
She glanced at Lan Xiyue's reflection in the bronze mirror. Her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Chuchun took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage: "Miss, that..."
Lan Xiyue noticed something strange about Chuchun and turned to look at her. "Just say what you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"
"Miss, Madam Liang has been having a very hard time since you kicked her out of the mansion. Last time, when I went out to buy food, I ran into Madam Liang selling vegetables on the street. After asking her, I learned that after being kicked out of the mansion, Madam Liang returned to her hometown. The men in her family go to the gambling house all day long. Every time they lose money and come back, they beat Madam Liang."
After Chuchun finished speaking, she felt very nervous. The young lady hated Ma Liang so much before, but now she saw that the young lady was different, so she dared to say it today. Ma Liang was actually very good to the young lady, but she often said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not like the way the young lady dressed.
The young lady liked the Crown Prince so much before, so naturally she couldn't stand hearing Nanny Liang talking like this around her all day long, which is why she got angry with Nanny Liang.
Lan Xiyue was stunned when she heard this. Madam Liang? She tried to recall it in her mind. Madam Liang, the original owner's wet nurse, had cared for her since she was a child, treating her like her own daughter.
However, three months ago, because Nanny Liang kept complaining in front of her that she didn't dress well and would not please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the original owner got angry and drove her out of the Marquis' Mansion.
Lan Xiyue sighed softly, "I'll go and fetch Nanny Liang myself tomorrow. She's only doing this for my own good, but I shouldn't have treated her like this."
When Chuchun heard this, her face instantly lit up with joy: "Miss, are you serious?"
Lan Xiyue nodded, "Of course it's true. I was blinded by greed before, so I couldn't see who was truly kind to me."
Chuchun's heart ached, and her eyes reddened slightly: "That's great, Miss. Before, Chuxia and I didn't dare to tell you about Madam Liang because we were afraid you would be angry. Now that you finally figured it out, we are really happy for Madam Liang and Miss too."
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly, "From now on, you don't need to hide anything from me, just speak frankly."
Uiharu nodded, "Yeah."
Lan Xiyue looked at the two girls and said, "You two should go down and have some rest."
"Miss, your hair is not dry yet."
Lan Xiyue took the handkerchief from Chuchun's hand and said, "I can do it myself."
"Then Miss, wait until your hair is dry before you rest, otherwise you will have a headache tomorrow."
"good."
Chuchun and Chuxia then left the room and closed the door.
Lan Xiyue was holding a dry cloth in her hand and carefully wiping her wet long hair.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and she muttered unconsciously, "It was really troublesome for women in ancient times to have such long hair without a hair dryer."
After an unknown amount of time, Lan Xiyue put down the dry cloth in her hand, looked at the cold and beautiful face in the mirror, and a resolute smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She called softly, "System, exchange for night clothes."
"Ding Dong! Exchange successful." The system's voice sounded in my mind, with a hint of mechanical indifference.
Lan Xiyue reached out and took the black nightgown, and she quickly put it on.
System: "Master, you can only feel so happy if you exchange it for a nightgown."
Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes upon hearing this and said unhappily, "Nonsense! A nightgown is only ten points. Of course I'm happy with it. If everything in the mall was that cheap, I wouldn't be so stingy."
Upon hearing this, the system fell silent and pretended to be dead... The things in the mall were not set up by it.
Lan Xiyue had not forgotten what Chu Xia said about the housekeeper who slapped her.
Lan Xiyue casually tied her long hair into a ponytail, left the room and rushed towards the kitchen.
In the night, her figure was looming, like a black lightning.
On the other side of the chef is where the kitchen maids and nannies live.
Lan Xiyue moved over quietly.
The housekeeper's surname was Zhang, and at that moment she was happily counting the change in her hand.
These small changes were the rewards given to her by her madam in the past two months. She planned to ask someone to take them back tomorrow and give them to her son who was about to get married.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Aunt Zhang was startled and held the silver in her arms. She thought it was the kitchen maid and was about to scold her when she saw a masked man in black standing at the door.
She was about to scream when Lan Xiyue came to her like a ghost and accurately sealed her mute acupoint with a silver needle.
Nanny Zhang widened her eyes in horror. She tried to stand up and run away, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and the silver coins in her arms fell to the ground.
Lan Xiyue looked at her panic-stricken expression and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She rubbed her hands and said, "If you bully me, I will beat you until you cry for your parents, so that you will know why the flowers are so red."
Lan Xiyue pounced on Aunt Zhang like an agile cheetah. Every one of her moves hit Aunt Zhang's painful points, and every blow made Aunt Zhang's face twisted in pain.
Lan Xiyue is proficient in medicine, so she naturally knows how to hit someone in the most painful way without leaving any marks.
Nanny Zhang felt as if her whole body was falling apart and the pain was unbearable.
She wanted to struggle and resist, but in front of the masked man in black, all her efforts seemed futile.
Aunt Zhang's face was full of pain, and her mouth opened and closed, begging for mercy.
Lan Xiyue snorted coldly and thought to herself: I told you not to act arrogantly all the time, and I have the capital to be arrogant and domineering. How dare you, a servant, bully my people? I'll beat you up until you feel sore.
Nanny Zhang's eyes were filled with despair and fear, as if she saw the god of death waving at her.
Nanny Zhang fell to the ground in pain, groaning weakly. Lan Xiyue stopped beating her after she felt satisfied. She picked up the silver coins on the ground, kicked her a few more times, and then left in a swagger.
