Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With

Xin'er and Granny Ye bid farewell to Su Yun Chu and left Xia Guang Courtyard together. Xin'er and Granny Ye chatted and laughed all the way, appearing very close.

A short while later, Xin'er returned to Granny Ye's courtyard with her. She chatted with Granny Ye for a while before leaving the courtyard.

Xin'er carried a large basin of clothes to the pond to wash them; she had only washed more than half of them. Madam Liu sent someone to find her. The person glared at Xin'er aggressively and said angrily, "Xin'er, Madam is looking for you!"

After hearing this, Xin'er paused and looked at the person who spoke so aggressively. It turned out to be Hongye, the head maid of Madam Liu.

Then, Xin'er said in a low voice, "Sister Hongye, look, I haven't finished washing my clothes yet. Let me finish washing these clothes first before I go to see Madam."

Upon hearing this, Hongye glared angrily at Xin'er and sneered, "Xin'er, you've got quite the grand entrance! Is washing your clothes more important than Madam's business? Do you expect Madam to come and invite you personally? Or do you want Madam to wait for you to come?"

After hearing this, Xin'er looked at Hongye and whispered, "Sister Hongye, Xin'er didn't, Xin'er wouldn't dare! Then Sister Hongye, let's go over now!"

"Hmph, that's more like it. You're smart to know what's good for you!" Hongye looked at Xin'er with a stern face.

Xin'er quickly wiped her hands and followed Hongye to Liu's Qingya Garden. Hongye looked at Liu and respectfully bowed, saying, "Madam, I've brought Xin'er to you."

After hearing this, Madam Liu waved her hand, signaling Hongye to leave. Once Hongye was gone, Madam Liu looked coldly at Xin'er and demanded sharply, "Xin'er, tell me the truth: where did you go this morning? Who did you meet?"

After hearing this, Xin'er paused, looked at Liu Shi, and said tremblingly, "Reporting to Madam, I went to see my master, Granny Ye, this morning and had breakfast with her."

"Then, I chatted with my master for a while, and then I went to the pond to wash clothes. After that, Sister Hongye came to me and said that Madam wanted to see me, so I followed Sister Hongye to see Madam!"

Liu took a sip of tea, looked at Xin'er, and said with a slight smile, "Xin'er, is that really the case?"

After hearing this, Xin'er looked at Madam Liu, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Madam, that's indeed the case. Everything Xin'er said is true, please believe me!"

Upon hearing this, Liu flew into a rage and threw the scalding cup of tea she was holding at Xin'er. The boiling tea splashed all over Xin'er's body, immediately causing numerous blisters to form.

Xin'er's face was also cut by shards of porcelain, leaving a large, bloody gash. Blood was still flowing from her face, making her look particularly terrifying and gruesome!

At this moment, several maids serving Liu were terrified upon seeing this! One of the slightly bolder maids stepped forward, looked at Liu, and knelt down to plead, "Madam, Xin'er is so badly injured! Please let her go and apply some medicine first?"

After hearing this, Madam Liu paused, looked at the maid who had spoken, and said coldly, "Anyone who pleads for Xin'er again will suffer the same fate as her!"

Upon hearing this, the maids serving Liu all shut their mouths tightly and stopped speaking, fearing that they would suffer the same fate as Xin'er.

Upon hearing this, Xin'er burst into tears. She had offended Liu Shi, who was vicious and extremely hypocritical, and naturally wouldn't give her a kind look.

Immediately, Xin'er crawled towards Liu Shi, grabbed her trouser leg, and cried, "Madam, Xin'er really didn't lie to you, every word is true! Madam, please let Xin'er go! Xin'er is willing to be your slave."

Upon hearing this, Liu broke free from Xin'er's hand, stood up, walked up to Xin'er, and slapped her hard several times.

The slap was so forceful that Xin'er's face quickly became red and swollen, looking quite frightening.

Liu looked at Xin'er, sneered several times, and angrily cursed, "Xin'er, you wretched servant! You never tell the truth, do you?"

After hearing this, Xin'er looked at Madam Liu and said tremblingly, "Madam, what Xin'er said is the truth. You must believe Xin'er!"

Upon hearing this, Liu looked at Xin'er and questioned her sternly, "Xin'er, you wretched servant! Where did you go today, and who did you meet?"

After hearing this, Xin'er paused, looked at Madam Liu, and said in a low voice, "Madam, I went to see my master, Granny Ye, and I also saw you today!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu instructed Granny Ji to fetch Granny Ye. Granny Ye accompanied Granny Ji to Qingya Garden, and upon seeing Madam Liu, immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "This old servant greets Madam!"

After hearing this, Liu looked at Granny Ye and said in a low voice, "Granny Ye, please stand up and speak!" Granny Ye thanked Liu and stood up.

Madam Liu glanced at Granny Ye and asked in a deep voice, "Granny Ye, answer me truthfully: where did Xin'er go today, what did she do, and who did she meet?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Ye looked at Xin'er and saw that her face was severely swollen, with a large, bloody gash. Granny Ye was immediately filled with heartache at the sight!

Then, she looked at Madam Liu and said in a low voice, "Madam, Xin'er came to my courtyard to see me this morning, and we had breakfast together. Then, we chatted for a while, and then she went to do the laundry."

After hearing this, Liu paused, looked at Liu, then at Xin'er, and said coldly, "Xin'er, Granny Ye, do you think I, the proper mistress of the Su family, am just a figurehead? There are my spies everywhere in the mansion. What you say and do cannot escape my sharp eyes."

Upon hearing this, Xin'er and Granny Ye were immediately deflated, unsure of what to say.

Liu looked at Xin'er with a cold face and said with a sneer, "Xin'er, do you think that just because you've grabbed onto the eldest young lady, I can't do anything to you? You're underestimating my methods!"

Immediately, Madam Liu sternly ordered the servants, "Guards, take Xin'er away and lock her in the woodshed. No one is allowed to bring her anything, nor are they allowed to let her out, until she realizes her mistake."

Before long, several maids and servants came up and dragged Xin'er to the woodshed.

Seeing this, Granny Ye glanced at Xin'er, who was being dragged away, and knelt down to plead, "Madam, this old servant begs you to have mercy and spare Xin'er this time!"

After hearing this, Madam Liu glanced at Granny Ye and said with a sneer, "Granny Ye, don't plead for her! I haven't even held you accountable for deceiving me yet. Alright, you can leave now, and don't say another word!"

After hearing this, Granny Ye had no choice but to bid farewell to Madam Liu and leave Qingya Garden.
