Donkey Egg and Cow Egg each carried a firewood stick, following Lin Huihui like guardian deities.
Xiuer was talking animatedly with He Yuyan's other maids.
"Give her a good beating!" As soon as Lin Huihui finished speaking, Donkey Egg and Bull Egg swung their sticks at Xiuer.
"Ah~" Xiuer was caught off guard and took two hard hits.
One stick hit her on the shoulder, the other on the leg, making her wince in pain and tears welled up in her eyes.
Lin Huihui was extremely arrogant and domineering: "Hit me harder! You insolent wretch! You're nothing but a servant who serves others, yet you dare to lay a hand on me, you're tired of living! Hit me harder, and you're not allowed to stop until I tell you to!"
"Ah, help! Help!" The sticks rained down on Xiu'er, who was only a fourteen-year-old girl. How could she possibly fight off two boys? She could only take the beating.
The other servants, seeing this, didn't react at first. After they realized what was happening, they tried to break up the fight. Lin Huihui grabbed one of the maids who was trying to intervene and slapped her: "You dog servant! I'm disciplining a servant, and you dare to interfere? What kind of person are you? Do you want to get beaten up too?"
Now no one else dared to pull her away, and they could only watch helplessly as Xiu'er was beaten.
A servant secretly went to report to He Yuyan.
He Yuyan was furious when she heard that Lin Huihui had led people to beat her maid!
Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Lin Huihui is blatantly slapping her in the face!
He Yuyan was furious and immediately rushed back to her own courtyard. Yuan Yajing was also surprised by what happened and quickly followed.
When they arrived, Xiuer had already fainted.
Seeing Xiuer lying on the ground like a dead fish, He Yuyan's eyes blazed with fury: "Lin Huihui, you country bumpkin, I'll make you pay with your life for Xiuer!"
"Hmph, she's nothing but a lowly servant girl. I'm the daughter of the county magistrate. What if I beat her to death? From now on, if anyone dares to disrespect me or bully me, I'll beat them to death!"
Yuan Yajing hadn't expected Lin Huihui to be so ruthless. Looking at Xiuer on the ground, she was afraid she was badly injured. Xiuer had been with He Yuyan for six or seven years and they had a very good relationship. This time, she was practically tearing He Yuyan's heart out.
Yuan Yajing, fearing He Yuyan's impulsiveness, tightly gripped her hand: "Granny Xu, quickly take her away and find a doctor to examine her."
Seeing that He Yuyan's eyes were red, Lin Huihui was overjoyed and left with Donkey Egg and Cow Egg, heads held high.
Lin Shikang soon learned about this and thought to himself that his daughter had acted very foolishly!
Normally, injuring or killing a few servants wouldn't be a big deal, but Xiuer's indenture is with the Yuan family. If she beats up someone the Yuan family gave to He Yuyan, wouldn't that be slapping the Yuan family in the face?
Who can prove that Xiuer committed insubordination at Linlang Pavilion? Ye and Xu are both from the Yuan family and He Yuyan's side. Are they going to testify for Lin Huihui?
If you really want to teach Xiuer a lesson, you should do it secretly, not so openly. He Yuyan managed to frame her without any witnesses, why can't she learn from that?

"That bitch, I won't let her get away with this!" He Yuyan clenched her fists, her heart filled with hatred. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? In the entire Ganning region, who didn't treat her with utmost respect?
"Alright, if Xiuer hadn't pushed her, none of this would have happened. Even if you two can't be friends, don't kill each other. Don't make things difficult for me."
"Mother, now it's your daughter who's being bullied!" He Yuyan roared.
"What are you yelling about? Who can bully you? It's all because of your scheme against her today. Let me tell you, if you ruin my relationship with your father, I won't let you off the hook!"
"Bah! A poor, incompetent county magistrate, does he even deserve to be my father?"
“So what if he’s poor? He may be poor, but he’s gentle and considerate. Ye Zhanyun is rich, but look at the life Ye Shanshan’s mother is living.” Yuan Yajing felt that Lin Shikang was her destiny, and she couldn’t help but smile when she thought about everything with Lin Shikang.
*
Lin Huihui caused such a commotion in the mansion that Madam Fan quickly learned the whole story. Although Madam Fan didn't treat Lin Huihui well because she was a daughter, she couldn't let an outsider bully her.
"How dare a mere burden bully our Lin family's legitimate eldest daughter? She's incredibly audacious and utterly ignorant! Go and summon that burden, Madam Yuan, and Master right now."
Hearing this, Granny Feng felt utterly disdainful. She saw that Lin Shikang's official rank was one level higher than Yuan Weimin's, but the Yuan family was far wealthier than the Lin family. It didn't matter who was trying to climb the social ladder.
However, Granny Feng dared not say this, as she was one of the people planted by the Yuan family to serve Madam Fan.
"Xiaoya, don't go. Granny Feng, and don't go to call Yuyan either. The child is probably still angry. I'll explain to my mother." Lin Shikang said gently.
“Mother specifically asked me and Yu Yan to go, it wouldn’t be good if we didn’t go, so we’ll go with you…”
“There’s nothing wrong with it. My mother has a bad temper, and she might say something nasty when she sees you. Just stay here and wait for me. I’ll be right back.”
Lin Shikang looked as if he was afraid she would be mistreated or wronged. Yuan Yajing felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey. She felt that she had good taste and good luck in meeting such a good husband.
When Madam Fan saw that only her son had come, she looked displeased, feeling that Yuan Yajing had already disregarded her since entering the house.
She demanded, "Where are Yuan and that burden person?"
"Mother, what do you mean by 'burden'? Don't say such unpleasant things. Since Xiaoya is already my wife, then Yuyan is a child of our Lin family."
