Chapter 166: Teaching a Lesson (3) (1/2)

Upon recalling the insults he had thrown at Chu Lian earlier, Ah Cai started to tremble. The face that had been full of fighting spirit earlier was now completely ashen pale in fear.

Two bailiffs took the bound Mrs Wang and Ah Cai off the hands of the manservants.

Suddenly, a puddle appeared on the cyan floor tiles, followed by a terrible fishy stink. When Wenqing looked down, she realised that the crotch of Ah Cai’s pants were soaked…

He had actually peed himself in fright.

When Manager Wang saw Ah Cai’s state, shame flooded his being. He glared at Ah Cai angrily; this was all that idiot’s fault!

Manager Wang had just gone to the gambling dens and lost some money. Afraid that Mrs Wang would find out, he had entered sneakily through the back door and bumped into Ah Cai when he was bringing out the dishes to the main hall. Ah Cai had cooked up this plan to get Manager Wang to bring over some bailiffs they were familiar with to scare Chu Lian and have her cough up more money.

Who would have thought that they would shoot themselves in their own foot!

Of course Manager Wang was filled with hatred!

The bearded bailiff came over to Chu Lian eagerly and bowed at the waist, “Does Honoured One have any other orders?”

Chu Lian didn’t bother speaking with the leader. Instead, she turned to Wenqing and said, “Bring me the account books from the counter.”

Despite feeling the embarrassment of getting ignored, the bailiff didn’t dare to voice any complaints. The gap in their statuses was too great. Furthermore, judging by the ability that the maidservant had showed just now, he didn’t dare to underestimate them. Even if this young madam hadn’t shown off her imperial identity, the five of them wouldn’t have been a match for that one maidservant.

When he thought of that, the curly bearded leader appeared even more respectful and humble.

Manager Wang startled when he heard Chu Lian’s command.
