12 Family Punishmen (1/2)
When An Jinxiu rushed to the small parlour, the servants outside the parlour still did not let her in. They said that it was Madam's orders and that no one in the mansion was allowed to see An Yuanzhi.
”Scram!” An Jinxiu shouted angrily and walked inside. She didn't think that the servants would dare to touch her.
The servants guarding the door truly did not dare to touch An Jin. They retreated one step at a time. Finally, they were forced into the small parlour by An Jin.
”Sis?” An Yuanzhi was in the parlour. He had already heard the argument between An Jin and her servants. When he entered the hall, he hurriedly called for An Jin. His voice was urgent. If word were to spread that a young miss of a great clan was quarreling with a male servant in the manor, would his older sister still have a good reputation?
When An Jinxiu saw An Yuanzhi, she felt her vision darken. Luckily, Zi Yuan was behind her and helped her up.
”Sis!” An Yuanzhi was still shouting at her. ”Hurry up and go back. Don't worry about me.”
An Yuanzhi had his hands tied behind his back, and he was kneeling on a pile of rubble. His knees were also tied, and he couldn't even stand up.
An Jinxiu was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She looked at the sharp edges of the stones. What was the difference between kneeling on these stones and kneeling on them? One saw blood, one did not have to see blood?
”Second Miss.” Seeing that Qin's Family two mama had walked up to her, they pretended to bow towards her and asked, ”Why have you come? Madam has ordered that no one is allowed in here. ”
(T/N: Mama) – a form of address for an elderly female servant.)
”No one can enter?” An Jinxiu said coldly, ”Then are you humans or ghosts?”
The two of them were the Qin family's trusted aides, and they had always looked down on the shu-born, An Jin, who was fawning on the Qin family. Hearing An Jinxiu's words, they sneered and said, ”Second Miss is angry, so you don't need to send any orders to the servants. This is Madam's order.”
”Get out of the way,” An Jin said as she let the two women pass.
In her previous life, she had helped the create a Fifth Prince to take over the world. She wasn't even afraid of killing people, so how could An Jinxiu be afraid of hitting them? These two slaps were so loud that everyone in the hall could hear them.
The two servants each received a slap to the face. They were stupefied and stood there motionlessly for a long time.
An Jin pushed the two old ladies away and ran to An Yuanzhi. ”How are you?” An Jinxiu asked An Yuanzhi while squatting down and pulling at the rope that tied him. The rope was very tight, and even his clothes were stuffed into An Yuanzhi's flesh. She pulled at it a few times, but was still unable to untie it.
”How can we live on like this!” The two matriarchs in charge recovered their wits and began crying as they lay on the ground. They were afraid of the Qin family and weren't afraid of An Jin.
”Sis!” An Yuanzhi was extremely anxious. It looked like things were about to get out of hand. ”Just go back and look after mother. I'll be fine after kneeling down for a while.”
”I won't let you suffer any grievances with me around.” An Jinxiu ignored the two wailing servants. She only cared about An Yuanzhi, ”Does your leg hurt?”
”I'm fine,” An Yuanzhi said.
An Jinyi didn't care about the distance of men and women anymore. She lifted An Yuanzhi's robe and saw that both of his knees were soaked with blood. The two red lumps of blood almost made An Jin heart bleed. She suddenly turned around and looked at the servants standing in the parlour. Apart from Zi Yuan, she looked at them one by one, as if she wanted to memorize their appearances.
Although the servants were all men, they were all shocked by the venomous glare from An Jinxiu. Unknowingly, they retreated a few steps back.
