âYou wish!â Xing glanced at the basket of vegetables, âLady Mo, what you committed is theft. Although you only stole vegetables from the Fang Mansion, the Master hates theft the most. If he finds out, heâll have you beaten with dozens of planks which could cost you half your life!â
Lady Moâs face turned pale upon hearing this, âXing, I just left some vegetables for Brother Xiao, do you really need to make things so hard for us?â
âHmph. Who asked you to go around being so promiscuous? I wanted to have a good time with you, but youâre not willing!â Xing said, âWith such a great opportunity, how can I not let you suffer a bit.â
If it were any other time, Lady Mo wouldâve reluctantly agreed to his request. However, in front of Xiao Yishan, it wasnât appropriate to act so indecently. She turned to Xiao Yishan and said, âBrother Xiao, please help me and put in a good word for me. After all, I saved these vegetables just for you. Surely, you canât just watch me being beaten with planksâ¦â
Xiao Yishan didnât want to harm anyone either, âYour name is Xing, right? Just let it go. Thereâs no need to make things hard for a woman.â
âIf she didnât take things for granted before, and go around being shameless, I wouldnât let her off when I finally got a chance!â Xing said sternly, âCome with me to see the Master!â@@novelbin@@
He reached out to grab Lady Mo, and she struggled, âI donât want to go!â
He initially wanted to drag Xiao Yishan too, but after seeing his imposing figure and intimidating facial expression, he was afraid he would get punched and thus, didnât dare to do so.
âWhat happened?â A female voice timely interjected in the conversation.
Looking up, Lady Mo saw Li Rongâer, the young Ladyâs attendant, who was always a kind person. Lady Mo hurriedly explained, âRongâer, please help me talk to Xing! I just saved some vegetables for Brother Xiao, but Xing insists on taking me to see the Master. As you know, the Master despises theft, and I will be beaten with dozens of planks, leaving me half deadâ¦â
âNot only did Lady Mo steal, but she also committed adultery with Xiao Yishan!â Xing said angrily, âI will expose this scandal and ruin this pair of despicable lovers!â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting? Lady Mo and I have nothing to do with each other!â Xiao Yishanâs face turned livid.
Xing didnât believe him, âYou say thereâs nothing, but I saw it with my own eyes! Would people believe you or me if I tell themâ¦â Gathering his courage to say this, Xiao Yishanâs rage-stricken face sent shivers down his spine. If it hadnât been for someoneâs request, he really wouldnât want to offend him.
Li Rongâer was also afraid that Xiao Yishan might resort to violence and quickly spoke up, âXing, I trust Brother Xiaoâs character. Heâs not that kind of person. As for Lady Mo stealing some vegetables for Brother Xiao, letâs just forget about it.â She took out one tael of silver and handed it to Xing, âHereâs some money for you, consider it a little token of appreciation. Just pretend you didnât see anything, alright?â
Xing weighed the silver in his hand and said, âThis wouldnât work for anyone else. But for Sister Rongâerâs sake, Iâll let it slide.â
He let go of Lady Moâs hand, muttered a few curses, and then left.
Lady Mo grumbled, âXing is such a greedy bastard.â She glanced at Li Rongâer, âAnd you, our salary is only two hundred cents a month, and you spent one tael. Weâll have to work for free for four months! I almost forgot, youâre the young Ladyâs attendant, the head maid, earning three hundred yuan per month, a hundred more than me. Still, youâll have to work without pay for a long timeâ¦â
âItâs better than you being beaten with dozens of planks,â Li Rongâer said, âhalf a life wouldnât be saved by one or two taels of silver.â
Lady Mo finally stopped talking, âFine, itâs given. Thanks!â
