Chapter 572 - You Think I Don’t Have a Temper? (1/2)
Elderly Lady was so infuriated that her chest kept heaving. She pointed at Qiao Mu while uttering “You” for half the day. Even though she wasn’t able to form a complete sentence, her eyes were still fuming so much that they threatened to spit out flames.
“On what basis can you sell me off? On what basis? I’m Old Madam’s servant!” Donghe’s eyes involuntarily glowered while her arms were restrained by the two boy servants. She struggled continuously, causing her head of pearl and jade accessories to slacken. She truly cut a sorry figure with her disheveled hair.
Hearing this, Qiao Mu’s belly full of anger instantly exploded, and she ruthlessly kicked Donghe’s body, which directly sent her flying out from the two boy servants’ grasp. The servant girl Donghe collapsed to the ground heavily, a b.l.o.o.d.y wound opening up on her head from when it smashed against the thick stone tiles.
The surroundings were absolutely silent. The group of servants stared with fear and trepidation at the outraged Eldest Miss, feeling as if a huge palm had gripped their hearts. They were so terrified that they couldn’t even breathe properly.
“On what basis can I sell you?” Qiao Mu shouted harshly. She then turned to Steward Chang Zai and roared, “Go bring me her indenture contract! At once!”
“Yes yes yes!” Chang Zai hastily gestured to several boy servants with his eyes.
The group then swiftly bolted for Longevity Court.
Since she said that she was Old Madam’s servant, then her indenture contract would certainly be inside Longevity Court.
Old Madam watched on blankly as that group of boy servants carried out Qiao Mu’s order, running unpretentiously to her Longevity Court to search for the indenture contract and not caring for their principles at all. She was so angered that her chest kept heaving, and she was practically unable to breathe.
Before long, several clever boy servants ferreted out the indenture contracts, and they handed the thin stack to Eldest Miss.
“Do you see, your indenture contract is now in my hands! You’ll live only when I let you live, and you’ll die if I want you to die!” Qiao Mu brandished the indenture contract in her hand. It scared the servant girl Donghe, who had shrunk into a ball on the floor, into scrambling and crawling towards Elderly Lady. She wailed repeatedly, “Elderly Lady, save me, Elderly Lady, Elderly Lady, save me.”
Even though the servant girl Donghe was crying while trembling, she made sure to maintain her image of a tear-stained beauty, her charming eyes still sending coquettish glances. When she saw Elderly Lady was preoccupied with taking deep breaths and didn’t say anything, she then raised her head towards Qiao Zhongbang, bawling as she crawled in his direction. “Master, Master, save me!”
