100 The Victim (1/2)

Hearing the servant's words, Xiao Lou knew that it was the signal she was waiting for. She had been planning everything ever for a month and finally, everything was starting to happen according to plan.

”What are you saying? Impudent! Don't you know, that by saying those things, you are tarnishing your Da XiaoJie's reputation?”

Xiao Lou slammed her hand on the table and stood up. She appeared quite angered by the servant. Her chest was moving up and down heavily as if in any moment, she would faint due to anger. Looking at Xiao Lou's angered face, the Furens could not help but nod. Indeed, the servant's behavior was a bit atrocious. The servant was lacking any sense of propriety which made Xiao Lou reprimand her in front of the Furens and Young Maidens. If something went wrong, it would not only tarnish Eldest Lady Xuan's innocence, but it would also bring shame to the Prime Minister's Residence.Some Furens could not help but reassess Xiao Lou's attitude. Xiao Lou looked like she genuinely cared for XuanRong.

Xiao Lou looked at the Furens and Young Misses present and lowered her head. ”Please forgive this Madam for making you see this kind of problem. It is this Madam's fault for not properly managing our courtyard and being unable to teach our servants correctly, allowing you to witness such shame. Please do not think deeply and continue enjoying the rest of the evening. Rong'er must be playing pranks and is only hiding somewhere. Ai. This naughty child.”

Xiao Lou's words made the rest of the guests agree with her.

”Xuan Furen, that is normal for children. Although Eldest Lady Xuan was now a fully-grown woman, she was still a child by heart.” Ji Furen was the wife of a second rank official. Ji Furen liked to curry favor with Xiao Lou and would sometimes indirectly ask her to help her husband's career a couple of times. Whatever Xiao Lou would say, she would blindly show her support.

That kind of person, how could Xiao Lou not know her intention? But Xiao Lou never rebuked her and would even allow Ji Furen to ride her coattail[1]. It was not bad to have someone who was willing to be used.

”Indeed, Rong'er is still a child. Too bad, although I was the one who raised her, it seems like in that child's heart, I do not occupy a single place. She must have thought that I was trying to steal her mother's position and my over indulgence towards her was only a pretense... but I only truly hoped that she would grow up happy.”

Ji Furen opened her mouth and consoled Xiao Lou.

”Xuan Furen, please do not think that way. Eldest Young Miss is still a child. This Madam knows that someday, Eldest Young Miss will understand Xuan Furen's thought.”

”Ai. I do hope so.” Xiao Lou sighed. She counted lowered her eyes and counted the time when the servant arrived at the hall.She thoughtthat it should be enough. Xiao Lou then glanced at the servant who was kneeling on the floor.

”Why are you still here? Someone!! Why is nobody dragging this servant away and beat her senseless? Grab her and beat her ten times using a wooden paddle.” Xiao Lou waved and signaled the mama behind her to bring the servant away.

”Yes,this old servant will immediately bring her away. May Furen quell your anger.”

When the servant saw that one of Xiao Lou's mama started walking towards her, she knew that it was the time for her to act and ask forgiveness. When the mama arrived in front of her,trying to grab her hand, the servant tried to escape from the mama's grip and kowtowed.
