Chapter 592: Chapter 598: Madam is Mighty
The scene that just unfolded at the entrance wasn’t only known by Su Wenyue, but even now, everyone in the mansion was aware of it. They were all loyal servants of Su Wenyue and naturally couldn’t stand anyone offending their Madam. They couldn’t give Zhou Yao and her servant a friendly face. Had it not been for the concern of damaging their reputation and fearing people might think the servants at the Han Mansion lacked manners, they really wanted to ‘take care’ of Zhou Yao and her servant properly.
“It’s utterly outrageous, she’s nothing but a merchant’s daughter, and she thinks she can turn into a phoenix from a crow just by marrying General Han, and actually making our Miss wait for her!” That servant girl, knowing her Mistress’s temper and seeing her Mistress’s displeasure, quickly spoke up without considering the consequences, knowing that if her Mistress couldn’t vent, she would definitely take it out on her later.
After Zhou Yao’s servant girl finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire living room chilled, everyone looking at Zhou Yao and her servant with hostility. Xiao Xi glared at the two of them as if flames were about to burst from her eyes, but she ultimately held back from saying anything. She realized it would be lowering her own standards to stoop to the level of these two.
Zhou Yao and her servant felt uneasy under the gaze of Han Mansion’s servants but, having already spoken, Zhou Yao didn’t actually think there was anything wrong with what her servant girl had said. On the contrary, she felt somewhat relieved. She expected that these servants wouldn’t dare to do anything to them, given her connection to the City Lord Mansion. Even though she wasn’t particularly esteemed there, she was still one of their people. She had faced similar situations before and was inwardly fearless.
“What’s wrong, little girl, why do you look so peeved? Who has upset our Xiao Xi?” Su Wenyue looked at Xiao Xi as she entered and said with a smile.
“Madam, you have no idea how arrogant that Miss Zhou is. She dared to speak ill of you and said such awful things—calling you, well, just her haughty air makes one can’t help wanting to teach her a lesson. And the look on her face when she mentioned General—it was smitten; she must be harboring some indecent thoughts. She doesn’t even look at herself in the mirror; with her conduct, how could our family’s General ever spare her a glance? She’s overestimating herself.”
“Knowing that she’s overestimating herself, then why get so angry? It’s not worth it if you make yourself sick over it. Xiao Xi, I thought you had become more composed.” Su Wenyue said this without any other implication, just that over the years, Xiao Xi had indeed become more mature, and her behavior today was somewhat like regressing to the past.
“Madam, it’s not that I want to be angry, it’s that woman’s speech that’s so infuriating. She belittles you with every word, and one can’t help getting angry upon hearing it.” The thing Xiao Xi couldn’t stand the most was anyone speaking ill of Su Wenyue.
Su Wenyue naturally knew why Xiao Xi was so angry on her behalf; the girl was fiercely loyal to her. It was only matters concerning herself that could evoke such strong emotions in Xiao Xi. The warmth in her heart surged. “She is but an irrelevant woman. Even if she has said something, there’s no need to take it to heart. If you’re still angry, how about I vent for you?”
“Madam, that’s not right for you to say. It’s about taking vengeance for yourself. That brazen woman dares to covet your Husband. She must be taught a lesson, so she knows not to mess with us!” Xiao Xi spoke while waving her fist energetically.
“Well then, I had intended to keep Miss Zhou waiting a bit longer, but since our Xiao Xi is so eager to relieve her anger, let’s go.”
