"Alright, Miss!" Upon hearing that someone had called again, Xique happily placed the tray in her hand into Lin Shuang's hands and strode towards Chen Ziying.
As she walked, she swung her arms to warm up, looking like she was about to get into a fight.
Having experienced the magpie's power before, Chen Ziying trembled in fear and hid behind Shang Chuyue, crying out, "Sixth Princess..."
"You dare!" Shang Chuyue stood in front of Xi Que and Chen Ziying with an imposing air.
She was used to being arrogant in front of her servants and thought that Xique was nothing more than a dog of the Ninth Princess, a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. She believed that as long as she was assertive, Xique, this dog of a servant, would be afraid.
To her surprise, Xique didn't fall for her act at all. She reached out and lifted Chen Ziying up like a chick, grabbing her in her hand and, without any warning or prelude, slapping her repeatedly across the face.
After the twenty slaps ended, Chen Ziying's head was swollen like a pig's head again. Only then did Xique throw the dazed Chen Ziying on the ground and say, "My young lady said she was going to hit you. Do you think it's useful to hide? Even if you can hide for a day, you can't hide forever. I, Xique, may not have any other skills, but I remember very clearly whoever I'm going to hit. Whoever deserves a beating, I'll beat them back sooner or later!"
"You! You dog of a servant, how dare you! You dare to commit violence without saying a word in front of me, the princess!" Shang Chuyue was so angry that she trembled all over.
She had never encountered such a fierce servant before!
“Our young lady once said that villains die from talking too much. So we bandits must strike first, and then talk, hmph,” Xi Que smugly rolled her eyes at Shang Chuyue.
Seeing that Shang Chuyue also had a face that looked like she deserved to be beaten, he asked Ji Fengyao for instructions: "Miss, in my opinion, this one also needs to be beaten to behave, otherwise she will think she can fly to the sky."
Shang Chuyue: "!"
"Hey, she's a princess, it's not appropriate for you to lay a hand on her," Ji Fengyao said with a smile.
Shang Chuyue was so angry at Xique that she almost fainted. After hearing Ji Fengyao's words, she was about to say that she knew what was good for her.
But Ji Fengyao said again, "However, I am her elder, and it is only natural for elders to instruct juniors."
After speaking, Ji Fengyao reached out and pulled Shang Chuyue forward. With a few swift strokes, she tore off all of Shang Chuyue's headdress and all her ornaments, leaving her with not even a single silk flower.
After she stripped Shang Chuyue of all her ornaments, the two palace maids beside Shang Chuyue finally reacted, both shocked and furious: "How dare you! You actually dared to steal things from the princess!"
Shang Chuyue was also shocked. Her lips trembled, her eyes reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Ji Fengyao placed all the odds and ends she had taken from Shang Chuyue into the tray in Bai Lu's hands, her bandit-like demeanor exuding an air of arrogance: "Didn't she say herself that we bandits can't live without robbing for a day? The lesson I want to teach the princess today is: don't slander others casually, because you never know if the bad things you casually say might one day happen to you."
"Out of consideration for your junior status, I'll offer you another piece of advice, Princess. My principle is 'never to suffer a loss.' If you want to slander me, you'd better be prepared for my revenge; if you want to eliminate me, you'd better not be afraid of death!"
As for Chen Ziying, who had just been pulled up from the ground, Ji Fengyao didn't even glance at her, and strode away with her head held high.
Watching the arrogant strides and smug backs of the mistress and her servants, Shang Chuyue and Chen Ziying were filled with rage.
