~ REFUSE TO ADMIT HER MISTAKE ~
Mu Yunyao stood where she was with her eyes slightly lowered . Hearing these words, she raised her head, and with clear eyes, she said with a stubborn expression, “Cousin, you can do whatever you want . If you want to beat or punish me, do whatever you want to . ”
Meng Yanran laughed coldly, “Cousin Qingwu, did you heard it all? I came to visit her with the good intention of telling her about some of the Capital’s local customs and traditions . Who knows if she doesn’t appreciate my kindness, instead used this method to harm me? If my legs get scalded, what should I do from now on?”
Su Qingwu’s frowned even more tightly . He turned his head to look at the nearby maidservants . “You are here as well . What’s happened to her? Tell me in detail . ”
Su Yuyi suddenly raised her head . She didn’t expect her brother to ask the maid again after she repeated the whole story . Did he not believe her?
At this time, the two maidservants were still trembling with fear, but they knew what they should say and what not to say . Their words were similar to what Su Yuyi had said, “ . . . The three Young Misses were drinking tea together . When the tea was served to the Eldest Miss, nothing happened . It was just that when the tea was sent in front of Young miss Meng, the tea suddenly spilled all over . . . ”
Mu Yunyao suddenly spoke up, “Cousin, what’s the point of asking them? They all obeyed Miss Meng’s orders and dared to attack me directly . If it weren’t for Cousin’s sudden entrance just now, I wouldn’t have been able to answer your question right now . I would have been pressed down on the ground and slapped in the face!”
Su Qingwu’s eyes were calm and tranquil, yet a sharp light flashed in them . “As servants, you dare to make a move on your Young Mistress? You don’t have to remain in the Su family anymore . ”The two maidservants quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, “Eldest Young Master, we all listen to Miss Meng’s orders . We don’t dare to do anything with Miss Meng even if we had ten thousand times the guts, but Miss Meng has repeatedly requested that we, as servants, have no right to resist . We can only obey her orders . ”
Su Qingwu looked towards his attendant . “Shut their mouth and pull them down . Don’t let them talk nonsense when they go out . ”
“Yes, Young Master . ”
The two maids directly gagged and dragged down, but Mu Yunyao’s footsteps were slightly uneasy as she moved and stood in the same place .
At the sight of this, Su Yuyi couldn’t help but bite the tip of her tongue, her expression very unsightly .
Meng Yanran was reluctant and unforgiving, “Cousin, my legs already scalded, can’t I punish Mu Yunyao? Elder Cousin naturally knows how important a pair of legs is to a girl . I will definitely seek justice for this matter . If Cousin does not negotiate, I will directly go to find Aunt and Uncle!”
Su Qingwu looked at Su Yuyi . “Have you invited a doctor?”
“I’ve already sent someone to fetch him . He’s probably on his way right now . ”
“Miss Meng, please do not be impatient for now . First, ask the doctor to look at the most important part of the injury . Yunyao is new here and not clear on the rules for the first time . If there is something that offends you, I am here to apologize on her behalf . Please forgive her once for the sake of my Su family . ”
Meng Yanran looked at Su Qingwu in disbelief, and the resentment in her eyes became more intense . “No! If she does something wrong, she will get punished! Cousin, you weren’t such a protective person in the past!”
Mu Yunyao walked straight in front of Meng Yanran and looked at her coldly, “Miss Meng, there’s a limit to the amount of noise you’re making . Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
“Yunyao!” Su Qingwu frowned disapprovingly . “Apologize to Miss Meng . ”
“On what basis?” Mu Yunyao’s expression turned even more unconvinced . “Miss Meng, according to what you said, the tea get spilled and scald your legs . How do you want to punish me?”
Meng Yanran’s voice was icy cold, “If my legs scalded, they will inevitably leave scars behind, and I will be affected by this for the rest of my life . Since you hurt my legs, you will compensate me with something of equal value!”
Mu Yunyao sneered, “Then, according to what you’re saying, you want to hurt my legs to compensate you?”
As Meng Yanran looked at Mu Yunyao’s expression, the hatred in her heart grew even more intense . She actually couldn’t control her emotions and blurted out, “Not bad! Since you injured my leg, you will naturally use your leg to compensate me!”
“Little Sister Yanran!” Su Yuyi quickly stepped forward and took Meng Yanran’s arm . It was a bit too much . No matter what, Mu Yunyao had just returned to the Su residence as the Old Madam’s granddaughter . It would be fine if she were to punish her a bit and ruin her reputation, but if both of her legs became damaged, then it will be Su’s family who will get blamed .
Meng Yanran did not seem to hear Su Yuyi’s hints and stared fiercely at Mu Yunyao . “Do you really think that after coming back to the Su family, you can do whatever you want and have a superior status? Don’t forget, you are just a clothes seller and tea seller . Your roots are also rotten . Even if you’re wrapped in gold and jade won’t be worth a fortune . ”
“Little Sister Yanran, you’re so confused because you’re in so much pain . Why did you start talking nonsense?” Su Yuyi was slightly annoyed in her heart . Although Meng Yanran was usually arrogant and domineering, she knew what she should do and would not let things get too ugly . However, today, every word was a blow to the heart, and the Su family will get implicated . If this word reaches in her father’s ears, even she would inevitably suffer too!
Su Qingwu’s face darkened . Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mu Yunyao suddenly pull Meng Yanran up, “Miss Meng, you have to have a limit to pretend to be crazy and play dumb! You said your leg damaged? Fine, prove it to me . If it really is damaged, then I will compensate you with my leg! If your leg is fine . Today, you must give me an explanation . Even if I am just a commoner, I will not let you sully my reputation for nothing!”
Just as Meng Yanran stood up, she felt her legs as if they got cut by knives, which caused intense pain . Her voice abruptly changed, “Mu Yunyao, you slut, I’m going to kill you!” As she said that, she raised her arm and sent an attack towards Mu Yunyao .
Mu Yunyao lifted the tray in her hand and heavily knocked it on Meng Yanran’s hand . “I’m from the countryside, but I know the rules and the etiquette . It’s my first time I’ve seen a lady from a noble family like Miss Meng!”
Meng Yanran had used all her strength to hit Mu Yunyao, but who would have thought that when the tray collided together, her entire hand would swell up instantly . It felt as if the bones in her hand were broken, and the pain was particularly heart-piercing: “Ah, it hurts!”
Mu Yunyao directly walked to the table where the tea was brewing, picked up the sand pot filled with hot water, and placed it in front of Su Qingwu . “Cousin, this sand pot is specially made . I heard from Cousin that it could keep the temperature of the water unchanged for an hour, right?”
Su Qingwu nodded his head, “This tea set specially made . It is made especially with two layers . It can indeed maintain water temperature for an hour without changing . ”
“That’s good . Since I made the tea just now, it has only been half an hour . The water’s temperature in the sand pot should not have changed much . Cousin, please take a look . How did I use this water here to scald someone?” After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she immediately lifted up the sand pot and poured the water inside it onto her palm .
