Chapter 243 - Chapter 243: Chapter 252: Eager to Give It a Try (2/2)
Su Wenyue still had a cold smile, looking disdainfully at Li Bonian: “To become a man like you is truly a failure. If you are not afraid of losing face, go ahead and make a fuss. But I won’t admit to it. How could we, a few weak women, do anything to Master Li? The truth is Master Li coveted my beauty and, failing to coerce me, deliberately sought to frame me!”
As Su Wenyue spoke, she glanced at the servant girl standing aside, who seemed to wish she could shrink away and disappear, worried that she might be called to testify. Su Wenyue wasn’t worried about the servant girl’s testimony, after all, the girl was from the Li family and naturally lying due to the master’s orders would be quite normal.
Li Bonian did not expect Su Wenyue to be so shameless: “You woman, you are despicable and shameless, daring to act but not admit!”
“The pot calling the kettle black. Compared to Master Li, what I do is trivial at best, perhaps a bit shameless but not nearly as sinister and cruel!” After that, Su Wenyue left with her servant girls.
Li Bonian was filled with hatred, but he no longer had thoughts of dealing with Su Wenyue’s servant girl. After all, Su Wenyue had made it clear: she would not admit to anything, there were no witnesses present, and if he made a fuss, he would gain nothing but embarrassment. However, the more this happened, the more determined Li Bonian became to possess Su Wenyue.
The reason Su Wenyue stood so strong now, Li Bonian concluded, was that she did not believe his words. Once things change and Han Yu runs into trouble, Su Wenyue certainly wouldn’t have the same attitude, and he would have plenty of opportunities to win her over.
“You little minx, just wait and see. Once I’ve got you in my grasp, you’ll see what’s coming to you!” Li Bonian wiped his mouth, only to realize that the servant girl had hit him hard. Just a couple of slaps had caused his lips to bleed. No wonder it felt so painful—it probably didn’t look so good either. Li Bonian glared at the shrinking servant girl, warning her not to speak of the incident, before returning to his own courtyard. He wouldn’t dare to go out before the wounds on his face healed; otherwise, wouldn’t he be laughed at?
After leaving Li Mansion, Ah Qing could see that Su Wenyue and Xiao Xi both seemed undisturbed by the earlier events, which made her anxious. She hadn’t openly attacked an Imperial Court official before. After all, Imperial laws were clear, and even if she really wanted to strike, she couldn’t do it openly, especially since her mistress had always instructed her to act in secret.
“Madam, is it really okay for me to have slapped an Imperial Court official just like that? Won’t Master Li come after me for trouble?”
“Don’t worry, it will be fine. Do you still have doubts when our mistress deals with things?” Xiao Xi had blind faith in Su Wenyue; besides, in her eyes, slapping a nasty person like Li Bonian really wasn’t a big deal. As the Miss said, without any witness, it didn’t count. The testimony of Li family’s servant girl would be false.
Seeing Ah Qing with a worried look, Su Wenyue thought this girl really needed to toughen up. Not like Xiao Xi, who would have been excited to have done more bad things under her direction. Didn’t you see how eager Xiao Xi was when Ah Qing slapped Li Bonian, wishing she had been the one to do it?
“Ah Qing, have you lost your mind? We just left Li Mansion, and we didn’t meet anyone. Why worry about it? As long as we didn’t do it, no one can wrong us. Put your heart back in your stomach.” Su Wenyue winked, and Ah Qing suddenly felt that she was truly making a big deal out of nothing.
