Chapter 81: A Venomous Handmaid Bullying the Mistress (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

”Granny, there's blood all over you. Why don't you go back and change clothes? I'll stay here watching him,” Little Leaf was also standing beside the bed. She hadn't recovered from her injured fingers yet so she wasn't able to help with the treatment.

Grandma Medicine had just stopped the bleeding for Wilderness Murong and her clothes were splattered with blood, and so were the clothes of Cloud Murong and a couple of handmaids.

Cloud Murong also noticed the blood on Grandma Medicine, ”Mother, you should go back and change clothes. Both I and my Second Mother are here, so there's nothing to be worried about. Everything will be fine.”

Hearing this, Concubine Qu, who was standing at the side, walked forward and dragged Grandma Medicine to her feet, ”elder sister, Yun'er was right. Your clothes are too dirty. Just go back and change your clothes. I got this.”

Displeased with her rudeness, Little Leaf frowned.

But Grandma Medicine hurriedly stopped her.

Much as she was concerned about Wilderness Murong's condition, she wanted to spare Cloud Murong any awkwardness. No matter what, he had been regarding Concubine Qu as his natural mother over the past forty or fifty years, so he must be having a tough time dealing with the sensitive relationship between them.

”All right, then. I'll go back first. If you need me–”

”Little Jing, walk her back,” before Grandma Medicine could finish her sentence, Concubine Qu winked at her personal handmaid who was standing beside her.

Seeing her hint, the handmaid walked up to Grandma Medicine. She seemed to be supporting her but was actually dragging her with great force, which gave Grandma Medicine pain.

Seeing this, Little Leaf was so angry that her face changed, meaning to ran up to her.

”Granny... ”

But Grandma Medicine shot her a warning glance and stopped her, ”Little Leaf, stay here and help granny take care of grandpa!”

Little Leaf was very angry, but these days, her granny had repeatedly told her that no matter what happened, they had to put up with it.

However, these people had been bullying them all along. Little Leaf felt that they went too far.

It had been only a few days, but a lot of bruises had appeared on granny. Little Leaf was both distressed and angry.

But her granny still didn't allow her to tell anybody...

”Your Lordship, Elder Mistress, I'll walk the Venerable Mistress back to her room,” Little Jing slightly bent her knees in front of Cloud Murong and Concubine Qu to pay her respect and then ”assisted” Grandma Medicine to walk towards the doorway.

She was heavily pinching Grandma Medicine's arm, and the latter furrowed her brow in pain.

”Venerable Mistress, be careful. This threshold is tall. Watch your step,” Little Jing said in a somewhat brittle voice in front of a threshold at the gateway of a courtyard. They had left the inner chamber and were out of Cloud Murong's sight.

Secretly, Little Jing gave Grandma Medicine a hard pinch on the arm and then kicked Grandma Medicine's leg while she was in pain.

Grandma Medicine directly fell over, as if she had been tripped by someone.

”Thud!”

”Er!”

Grandma Medicine fell to the ground with a muffled thud and uttered a groan.

Standing in front of the threshold, Little Jing gave a grim smile, 'This damn old woman dares to groan?'

She walked forward and ”accidentally” stepped on Grandma Medicine's hand. Under the heavy strain, the sound of a bone breaking was heard.

Grandma Medicine broke out in a cold sweat due to the sharp pain, trying to withdraw her hand.

But Little Jing pretended that she didn't see it, a sneer on her face, ”Old woman, why are you still on the ground? You want someone to raise you to your feet? Tsk, tsk. You really think you're the Venerable Mistress of the Murong family? You should have looked into the mirror more often. You think you deserve it?”

This old woman was like a thorn in Elder Mistress's flesh. Elder Mistress had ordered her to snatch at every chance to make this old woman's life miserable.

As the personal handmaid of Concubine Qu, this Little Jing naturally knew some ruthless tactics.

Seeing that Grandma Medicine was trying hard to suppress the pain and that there were beads of cold sweat all over her forehead, Little Jing felt an evil pleasure and trod even harder.

But at this moment.

Sharp-eyed Little Jing noticed that in the distance, a group of people were walking in her direction.

The sneer on her face instantly disappeared and she affected an air of humbleness.

”Venerable Mistress, are you okay? I told you this threshold was tall and reminded you to watch your step. Why were you so careless?” saying this, Little Jing raised Grandma Medicine to her feet with an affected concerned look.

”Are you hurt? It's my fault. I should have supported Venerable Mistress... ”

Followed by a group of relatives, the Third Uncle, whose name was Sword Murong, saw this scene the moment he arrived at the courtyard, frowning.

”What happened?” the Third Uncle said in a deep, highly commanding voice.

Before Grandma Medicine could speak, Little Jing respectfully bowed and replied, ”I'm guilty. I should have supported the Venerable Mistress. The Venerable Mistress fell over. I deserve the punishment the Venerable Mistress meted out to me.”

Hearing this, Sword Murong's forehead furrowed and darted a severe glance at Grandma Medicine. His face darkened when he saw the blood on her clothes.

”I heard that you treated Huang'er?”

”I did! Third Uncle!” Grandma Medicine respectfully answered Sword Murong, suppressing the pain in her hand.

However, the faces of those people behind Sword Murong darkened when they heard her answer. It seemed as if they went angry.

”You old woman. Murong family has already taken in you three freeloaders. What is it that you're still displeased with? What is it that you're up to? Why do you want to kill my Elder Uncle?”
