"How dare you! You lowly servant girl dare to... dare to hit Mother Chen!" someone shouted, their voice as sharp as a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Su Chen looked toward the source of the sound and saw about a dozen women, all dressed similarly in dark blue coarse cloth clothes. However, the one in the lead was clearly wealthier and wore a plain silver hairpin in her hair.
It seems that the people who came are in cahoots with the one who fainted.
Su Chen just smiled and didn't bow, acting as if she hadn't heard or seen anything.
This laugh infuriated the leader, who pinched his hips and said sourly, "Tsk, just a lowly servant girl from Dongqiu Kingdom, does she think life is still the same as before? In our Xidong Kingdom, you must abide by our Xidong Kingdom's etiquette! Women are born lowly!"
"What?" Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle. "Aren't you a woman?"
The leader, not expecting her to talk back, was furious. Pointing at Su Chen's nose, he cursed, "I uphold propriety and virtue, how can I be as vulgar and uncouth as you! You don't look like a woman at all!"
Su Chen was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, so she dusted off her hands and headed out.
Unexpectedly, before he could even step out the door, he was surrounded by this group of people.
"What, you think you can just leave after hitting Mother Chen?" The woman in the lead smiled wickedly, glanced at the people around her, and shouted, "Beat her!"
The fight broke out, and Su Chen didn't hesitate to join in.
These people were clearly trained; their fighting skills were far superior to those of Chen's mother from before. Moreover, their numbers meant that Su Chen was genuinely unable to escape for a time.
Just as the battle was in full swing and neither side could gain the upper hand, a clear bell rang in their ears.
Before long, a woman said in a soft, coquettish voice, "Stop it, all of you!"
The group of people around them obeyed and immediately stopped.
Su Chen, who had been holding on until she was breathless and exhausted, collapsed to the ground, completely drained of her strength.
"You, come with me," the woman with the soft voice said.
Su Chen struggled to lift her head, and the first thing she saw was a pair of bare jade feet with golden bells tied to their ankles, which were rustling in the wind. Next was a dark red veil, and then her gaze went up to see the face of a beautiful woman.
This beauty was extremely alluring, with a pair of fox-like eyes, and her hair was tied up in a bun, which made her face appear even whiter.
Su Chen was stunned. Let alone men, even she, a woman, wanted to... cough cough.
When the beauty heard no response from Su Chen, her arched eyebrows furrowed.
Su Chen then realized what was happening, immediately forgot the pain in her body, and used her hands to push herself up and responded.
The beauty turned away without saying another word.
Seeing her like this, Su Chen followed directly, ignoring the complicated looks from the people who had just fought with her.
The two men walked through a porch, knocked on the door of a side room, and came out several women who looked to be in their forties or fifties.
The beautiful woman pushed her forward and then instructed the women, "Wash her clean."
The women all bowed and agreed, then pulled Su Chen into the bathtub.
Su Chen: ? ? ?
In the Crazy Dog Striking System...
However, the reason why the dog system is called the dog system is because it is sometimes very dog-like.
Su Chen couldn't move her, so he had no choice but to lie there like a corpse in the bathtub.
After a while, they took her out again, used a cloth that looked like sandpaper to wipe her whole body clean, and then covered her with a pink gauze dress that matched the room's style.
"So... they're all dressed?" It looks like these people are about to leave.
One of the women said irritably, "You're all dressed."
"Oh." Su Chen nodded softly, tightening her collar even more.
After everyone left, Su Chen could only cross her arms and observe her surroundings.
