Chapter 241 - That Shameless Hussy!

Chapter 241 That Shameless Hussy!

Ling Er’s expression suddenly changed. Her beautiful face instantly twisted in fury.

“How dare you!” She stared viciously at Tangxia and screamed.

“Ha,” Tang Xia snorted. “There isn’t anything that I don’t dare to do. Aren’t I a used rag like what a certain someone just said?”

Ling Er knew that Tang Xia was threatening her, and she was so angry that her chest heaved continuously, while her tiny face flushed red from the suppression.

“Tsk tsk tsk.” Tang Xia shook her head and a strange smile appeared on her face. When Ling Er saw that, she could feel a cold, chilly sensation crawling up from her soles.

“Ling Er, say, did you have this same expression when you were rolling on the bed with that man who snuck into the mansion?”

That chilling sensation surged straight to her brain!

Ling Er’s face, which was originally red, because of her deep intakes of breath, instantly darkened. She widened her eyes and looked at Tang Xia incredulously.

“What did you say?” she asked. “I don’t know what you are talking about!” Ling Er continued to force herself to put on a strong front, although she was feeling faint inside. She glared at Tang Xia.

“What am I talking about? Madam Ling, are you sure you don’t know?”

Tang Xia continued to smile as she spoke. However, in the eyes of Ling Er, Tang Xia’s smile was not simply an eyesore. It was like a sharp blade that pierced her heart. Her hands clutched tightly at the corner of her clothes, and cold sweat broke out on her palms, and even drenched the corners of her clothes.

“Madam Ling, if you do not want anyone to know about it, then don’t do it. This time, I was the one who caught the man. But next time, if he continues to behave out of place like this and sneak into the mansion, who do you think he will be caught by?”

Tang Xia took a step forward and patted Ling Er’s face pitifully, with a regretful look on her face.

Ling Er’s teeth bit hard into her lips. She was afraid that Tang Xia had hidden something sharp in her hands, in order to destroy the face that she had always been proud of.

“You… why are you helping me?” she asked in a shaky voice.

“Help you?” Tang Xia felt as if she heard the greatest joke in the world. “Oh my god. Little girl, you’ve just contracted the punch lines for my entire year.”

Ling Er did not know what the words “contract” and “punch lines” meant, and she looked at Tangxia quizzically.

“Ling Er, Ling Er. You should know that Zhong Ze has never doted on me. Will he believe me if I were to tell him directly that I caught your lover?”

Tang Xia gnashed her teeth as she said this. She felt her frustration building up when she thought about being beaten up by that bastard, as well as how that mentally retarded Zhong Ze chose not believe her.

Since Zhong Ze did not believe her, she would use this incident to scare Lin Er. Perhaps there could be some unexpected gains!

On the other hand, Ling Er also meticulously spelt out what Tang Xia meant.

Tang Xia meant that if she did not mention that cursed man this time round, but if he disregards his own life and flips over the wall again the next time, there would be a high chance that he would be discovered by the master.

If the master found out about him and Tang Xia were to tell the master that she had caught the man previously, she, Ling Er, would be doomed beyond redemption.

She could not allow this to happen!

“Ling Er, the heavens are watching everything that you do. I am kind enough to help you to cover up your unfaithfulness this time round. You might not be so lucky the next time round!”

“God is fair. You’ve messed up big time this time round. Next time, maybe God will also want to mess up big time on you to regain some dignity!”

Ling Er instantly turned deathly pale from fear.

Tang Xia seemed to anticipate the everchanging expressions on Ling Er’s face. She was finally able to release the pent up anger in her heart. Before Tang Xia left, she did not forget to remark sarcastically, “Look out for yourself, the most favorited mistress madam of the master of the Zhong Mansion!”

Right after Tang Xia stepped out of the door, she heard the sound of a resounding crash behind her.

Even without looking, Tang Xia already knew that Ling Er must have smashed all the things that could be destroyed in her house, in order to produce such a loud sound that would startle the universe and move the gods.

Tang Xia returned to her courtyard in high spirits. She sat in a chair and pretended to taste the tea. “By the way, Bi Luo, where is the man whom we caught yesterday? Bring him over. I want to interrogate him!”

Bi Luo shrugged and began to stutter.

Tang Xia frowned and instantly sensed that something was not quite right. She slammed the table. “Bi Luo, I said to bring that man over. I want to interrogate him!”

Unexpectedly, Bi Luo suddenly fell to her knees and knelt on the ground. Her teary eyes looked down slightly and she said in an aggrieved tone, “Madam, that man is no longer in our courtyard!”

“Where did he go!” Tang Xia cursed silently. “A big, living person could not just have evaporated into thin air!”

“He… he…”

“Speak up!” Tang Xia slammed the table again. She already had a vague answer in her heart.

“He was taken away by the master!” Bi Luo was now on all fours, and she kowtowed repeatedly.

As expected!

Tang Xia cursed Zhong Ze’s generation of ancestors in her heart, and she commiserated with herself for having the greatest misfortune to have such an incompetent pig of a teammate.

Tang Xia’s heart felt doubly tired. She stood up and went back inside to take a short rest. However, the moment she laid down, she felt that there was something about the position of her pillow, that did not seem right. She quickly pulled the pillow away and discovered that the letter of divorce, which she had hidden under the pillow, was gone!

She did not give up and continued to feel about under her pillow.

Nothing!

Zhong Ze had taken back her letter of divorce!

Tang Xia felt a silent glee in her heart. Fortunately, Zhong Ze was a mummy’s boy and she had the backing of the Old Madam, who was the best person in the entire Zhong Mansion who could control Zhong Ze. She was very lucky indeed.

She laid limply on the bed and felt very gleeful! Subsequently, she heard another sound and in one flip, she rolled from the ground to the bed.

That was the scene which Bi Luo saw when she came in. Madam lying flat on the bed with a pillow in her arms, and a look that seemed to indicate that there was no meaning left in anything.

“My Madam!” She rushed over straight away. “Don’t take things too hard!”

Tang Xia turned her head stiffly to one side, with a vacant look in her eyes and she looked so pitiful.

“Madam…”

“Bi Luo…”

Both of them cried out simultaneously. However, right after Bi Luo addressed Tang Xia, she did not speak anymore. She merely listened to the soft murmurs of Tang Xia’s doubts and grievances.

“Bi Luo, what am I lacking in comparison to Ling Er? Why doesn’t Zhong Ze like me? It’s alright if he doesn’t like me, but why does he treat me like this?”

Tang Xia truly did not understand. When she came to this world, all she saw was complete darkness and she did not have the memory of the original owner. She was not aware of anything.

Bi Luo gritted her teeth and stood up to close the doors and windows in the room, before she walked back to Tang Xia.

“Madam…” She hesitated for a moment, and wondered if she should tell her madam about the incident.

When Tang Xia saw her hesitant look, her heart felt even more anxious, and she could not resist but urged her, “Hurry and speak!”

When Bi Luo finally spoke when she saw Tang Xia’s anxious look, “Madam, there were actually rumors in the mansion that you were the one who caused the death of the original Madam Cheng.”

“Madam Cheng?”

Bi Luo’s eyes widened and she gave her an incredulous look. “I meant Madam Cheng Lingsu! The original wife of the master! Madam, don’t you remember?”

Tang Xia shook her head, a blank look on her face. She really had no idea.

“Everyone said that you are a viper-hearted woman, and that you caused the death of the original First Madam for the sake of her status and honor!”

“What?”

Tang Xia felt that her head was full of question marks, and she looked at Bi Luo with eyes filled with incredulity.

Bi Luo quickly expressed her loyalty. “Madam, I have never gossiped with those little maids!”

“Madam is such a gentle person who could not even bear to step on an ant. How could you have caused the death of Madam Cheng, for the sake of usurping the position of the First Madam! I absolutely believe in your innocence!”

Tang Xia nodded her head stiffly.

There was too much information and she needed to digest them properly.

Bi Luo still felt that Tang Xia did not believe her, and she continued to stare grievously at Tang Xia and said, “Madam, you must believe in me! I really did not gossip with them!”

After listening to Bi Luo, Tang Xia knew that this little girl probably misunderstood something.

She nodded her head and said, “Don’t worry, I believe you. You can take your leave. I want to be alone.”

Bi Luo silently heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that based on Madam’s gentle temperament and how she was always sharp-eyed and observant, she would not malign her!

However, when she saw how Madam’s mind seemed to be somewhat unhinged, she knew that those rumors must have been a big blow to her. She could not help, but feel sorry for Tang Xia.

When Tang Xia saw that she was still not going to leave, she thought that Bi Luo was probably still worried about her.

She sighed. “Bi Luo, I’m really fine. You can take your leave first!”

Bi Luo bit her lip when she saw how Tang Xia insisted that she leave, so she obediently left.

Before closing the door, she did not forget to add, “Madam, I’ll be standing guard outside. You can call me directly if there’s anything. I’ll be able to hear it.”

Tang Xia acknowledged this, and spaced out as she continued to lie on the bed.

The atmosphere instantly quietened down, but Tang Xia was restless!

She tossed and turned in bed. Eventually, as she found it hard to calm down, she sprang up in bed and changed her clothes before she went out.

Bi Luo was standing guard at the door, and she noticed that her Madam had changed her clothes, and could not help but ask, “Madam, where are you going?”

“To eavesdrop!”

Tang Xia replied, without turning back.

While Tang Xia felt that there was nothing wrong with her own actions, she was still going to eavesdrop on a private conversation between Zhong Ze and his beloved mistress. She hid behind two tree branches outside their courtyard.

Inside the house, Ling Er could not help but whimper, as if she had suffered great indignance. “Master… Sobs… Master, you must seek justice for me!”

Zhong Ze listened to Ling Er’s cries, as he sat at the side.

“I have never let Sister Ning down in any way, but she actually barged into my room and accused me… of having an affair with another man!”

Ling Er already was an outstanding beauty with her willow-like eyebrows and lips which looked like cherry blossoms. She was truly a classical beauty. Now she was a weeping beauty. Tears rolled from her eyes ,but did not trickle down, and watching her made one feel pity for her.

Tang Xia felt that if she was a normal man, she would not be able to withstand this beauty’s offensive, and would also not be able to control herself.

She silently waited for Zhong Ze to reach out his hand to wipe her tears and say to her in a soft, gentle tone, “Don’t cry, Ling Er. I believe you.”

However, Zhong Ze replied in a cold voice, “Say no more!”

Tang Xia, who was under the window, was stunned and so was Ling Er, who was crying hard.

“Stop talking.” Zhong Ze repeated, and as he spoke, he stood up to get ready to leave.

Ling Er could no longer hold back her tears. When she saw Zhong Ze stand up and walk over to the door of the room to prepare to leave, the dissatisfaction in her heart reached its peak.

“Master! Have you forgotten how Sister Lingsu died?”

“Oh! That shameless trouble stirring witch!”

Tang Xia secretly cursed in her heart.
