Chapter 536 - Mutual Slaps (2/2)

What a good-for-nothing.

The group of people listened to Concubine Mei’s maidservant recount the incident on the way to the garden’s snow gazebo.

“Everything was fine at the beginning. The madams and misses were all harmoniously admiring the blossoms and the snow near the snow gazebo.” That little maidservant trembled after being glared at by the master and continued, “It was the talisman patrician family’s Miss Mu who said that it was boring and suggested having a beast fight.”

Beast fighting was a game that aristocrats played for amus.e.m.e.nt in their idle time.

Of course, they didn’t use their own mystic beasts to fight. They would normally fight with small or young beasts, and the two small beasts would basically end up covered in injuries and on the brink of death.

While pa.s.sing by the garden after drifting out of the kitchen, Qiao Mu got attracted by the wails of the small beasts.

When she arrived, the two small beasts were already at their limits after tearing into each other.

Nonetheless, it was obvious that Miss Mu’s beast was a cut above, so it was her win!

Therefore, the chagrined Third Miss of the Marquis of Placation’s Estate, Xu Mingzhu, was so infuriated that she took out her sword to hack at her small beast that had lost.

Qiao Mu was enraged when she saw this happening, and she ran over to stop Xu Mingzhu, giving her a sound slap while she was at it.

And then it all went south from there!

As our dear Qiao Mu was still invisible at the moment, Third Miss Xu thought that this slap was Miss Mu’s handiwork, so she immediately turned around and mercilessly returned a slap to Miss Mu’s face.

Miss Mu was stupefied and didn’t expect Third Miss Xu to be such a sore loser. She couldn’t stifle her anger and immediately pounced over to smack Xu Mingzhu back.

The two people promptly engaged in an all-out brawl—you hit me, I hit you. They were not of a benevolent ilk, and it frightened Concubine Mei into crumpling onto the ground. “My goodness, don’t fight, stop fighting! Quickly send for the master, hurry!”

It would have been better if she hadn’t yelled. The moment she did, all the gooseb.u.mps on Qiao Mu’s body were triggered, threatening to pop off. Wasn’t this that unfaithful voice she heard from the window that night when she was scouting out the Qin Estate?
