Chapter 19: Revenge must be taken personally

According to the Xu family rules, if any children do something wrong, they must kneel alone in the ancestral hall for two days, during which time they can only drink water and are not allowed to eat.

Xu Minmin had been punished for two days and was now exhausted, lying on the mat, cursing Xu Rongrong in her heart.

The door creaked open, and Xu Minmin breathed a sigh of relief: "I can finally go out! I'm going to kill him when I get back..."

Before she could finish her words, she was gagged and put into a sack.

Xu Rongrong handed Luo Shu a ruler and gestured with her lips, "Beat her."

Luo Shu's hands began to tremble as he held the ruler, but when he thought about the suffering he and the young lady had endured during this period, anger rose in his heart and he showed no mercy.

After being beaten forty times, Xu Rongrong left with the two girls.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Luo Shu's hands were still shaking: "Miss, I'm afraid the Third Miss will hate us even more."

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Get ready and go pay your respects to mother."

In Rong'an Courtyard, Xu Liu was having her forehead rubbed by a maid, feeling upset.

These days, nothing related to Xu Rongrong made her happy.

She originally wanted to let the little bitch die of illness, so she allowed her third daughter to stop the people from Wutong Courtyard.

When the time comes, she can just say she doesn't know anything, and at most Xu Chaoqian will nag her for a while. Who can do anything to her as the mistress of the house?

But who would have thought that the bitch, even though she was so severely burned, could still hold on until someone from Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion arrived.

Now, the little bitch was fine, but her own daughter was in trouble. What kind of place is the ancestral hall? It's dark and damp inside, with no sunlight!

Just as she was thinking about it, Madam Ping came in and reported, "Madam... the eldest lady came to pay her respects, holding a few Buddha's hand fruits in her hands."

"No!" When Xu Liu heard the name Xu Rongrong, her head hurt even more.

Madam Ping advised, "Madam, you should go see him. The master is still angry, and the third young lady left the ancestral hall in the evening. Why bother giving people something to talk about now?"

Xu Liushi remembered that Xu Chaoqian had indeed lost his temper with Xu Rongrong over her illness over the past two days, so she frowned and replied:

"Please come in."

After Xu Rongrong came in, she bowed and then presented the Buddha's Hand Fruit with both hands: "I heard that Madam has had a headache recently. I asked the palace doctor and found a few Buddha's Hand Fruits for Madam to relieve her headache."

Xu Liu nodded, exchanged a few words of greeting, and wanted to send the person away.

But Xu Rongrong suddenly became interested. She simply sat down and first talked with Xu Liu about how to make bergamot into spices. Later, she talked about the strengths and weaknesses of Mrs. Wang and the interesting stories of Miss Li. In a blink of an eye, the whole afternoon passed and the lights were lit in Rong'an Courtyard.

Her sudden closeness annoyed Xu Liushi, and she was just trying to find an excuse to send her away when a voice suddenly cried out from outside Rong'an Courtyard: "Mother, make the decision for me."

Xu Minmin rushed in with a flushed face. Her hair was disheveled, and her face and body were covered with red marks. There were several broken spots that were bleeding.

"What happened to Minjie?" Xu Liu hugged her daughter in distress.

Xu Minmin's face was already red from crying, and the tears and scars mixed together, it was shocking to see.

She saw Xu Rongrong sitting beside her and yelled at her, "Xu Rongrong, you bitch! How dare you go to the ancestral hall and commit murder?" After she finished yelling, she was about to rush up and tear her apart.

Seeing this, Nanny Ping quickly hugged her around the waist and said, "What's wrong, Third Miss? Talk to Madam if you have something to say."

Xu Liu was also frightened by her little daughter's frantic behavior: "Minjie, what's going on? Mother will take care of you!"

Xu Minmin pointed at Xu Rongrong and roared, "That bitch was the one who brought people to beat me up while I was in the ancestral hall. She beat me up like this!"

Tears mixed with blood made it look even more miserable.

Xu Liu's eyes were red with anger, and she glared at Xu Rongrong with gritted teeth: "Rong Jie'er, why did you bully your third daughter?"

Xu Rongrong patted her chest, clearly frightened. "Min Jie'er said I went to the ancestral hall and beat her. Did you see what I looked like?"

Xu Minmin spat, "You shameless bitch! You used the sack trick to trap me. How could I possibly see your face? But besides you, who else in this mansion would dare to hit me?" "When was Sister Min beaten?"

"Just now! After you left, my girl Yuxin went to the ancestral hall and rescued me."

Xu Rongrong rubbed her forehead and uttered a soft "oh," "Sister Min has wronged me. My daughter and I have been staying with Madam for the entire afternoon. How could we possibly go to the ancestral hall and commit a crime?"

"..." Xu Minmin choked and looked up at Xu Liu.

Xu Liu said stubbornly, "She did stay here for over an hour and never left. Sister Min, did you get the time wrong?"

Xu Minmin was a little confused: "I can't remember wrongly. As soon as the person who hit me left, Yuxin went to the ancestral hall to look for me and rescued me."

After saying this, she glared at Xu Rongrong unwillingly, "It must be you! Who else in this mansion would do such a thing!"

Xu Rongrong spread her hands helplessly and stood up. "Then it's up to Third Sister to figure it out for herself. See who else she's offended. Luckily, my wife is here to testify for me today, otherwise I really can't explain it."

After she finished speaking, she smiled and bowed to Xu Liushi, "Madam, you will take care of Sister Min's affairs. I will take my leave now."

Under Xu Minmin's unwilling gaze, she left gracefully with Wen Yao and Luo Shu.
