Chapter 540: Little Tail
Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Little Tail
Liu Sisi seemed indifferent, as if talking about a very ordinary matter.
“Yes, Madam!”
Old Cheng not only didn’t feel any disgust at this matter, but with great interest, he stepped forward to grab the other party.
“How dare you! If you dare hurt yours truly, I will make sure you can no longer stay in Liuping Town! Try it if you don’t believe me!”
The middle-aged man’s legs were trembling, yet his attitude was like a cooked duck – still stubbornly unyielding in the face of death.
“Do it! Whichever finger pointed at I the Madam, I want it to never straighten again!”
She couldn’t really be blamed for this, as she had amassed quite a lot of anger since last night, and at the moment, she was just looking for someone to vent on. He just happened to present himself.
Wasn’t this just seeking punishment?
“Yes!”
“You bandits and robbers! Don’t do this! Help, help! Ah…”
The screams of the middle-aged man kept getting louder and louder, attracting passers-by to look inside through the opened main entrance, only to scatter and flee the next moment.
That’s too vicious!
It’s hard to believe that such a seemingly weak woman could be so cruel!
Not to mention the people outside, even Ms. Zhao, who had crawled out from the house, hurriedly retreated.
This version of Liu Sisi was too terrifying!
As she thought of how she had bullied Liu Sisi in the past, Ms. Zhao’s heart trembled. Liu Sisi wouldn’t treat her like this, would she?
She suddenly recalled the experience of being trapped in the inner room with her mouth sealed. She felt incredibly lucky!
Only now did she truly see Liu Sisi for who she was.
When Old Cheng finally let go of him, it was exactly as Liu Sisi had said: whichever finger had pointed at her was now broken.
With the so-called ten fingers connected to the heart, the middle-aged man had already fainted when Old Cheng laid hands on him.
“Splash water on him!”
Liu Sisi’s tone remained calm from beginning to end, without a hint of agitation.
Old Cheng casually fetched a basin of water and poured it directly over the man’s head.
The temperature of the spring morning was still quite low. As the water splashed down, the man shivered back to consciousness and let out consecutive sneezes.
“You said you wanted to teach I the Madam a lesson, didn’t you? Tell me, how do you plan to teach me a lesson?”
Liu Sisi’s words were like a death curse. The middle-aged man shuddered all over. No longer concerned about his drenched body and injured hands, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
“Madam, please spare me! It’s my fault, I was wrong. I won’t dare do it again. Stay in this residence as long as you like. I won’t do it again.”
“The way you say it, it’s as if I the Madam care about your little silver. When we signed the lease, we wrote it in black and white. Naturally, I will move out when the lease is up. You must not try to besmirch I the Madam’s reputation. Do you understand?”
Liu Sisi’s smile was incredibly gentle, and her wet eyes were especially mesmerizing.
The middle-aged man shivered uncontrollably.
“Yes, yes, yes… Whatever Madam says is right. I, I won’t dare to do it again.” How could he dare to disagree?
“Oh! Since you admit that you are a lowly person, I the Madam won’t dwell on this matter any further. Go on!”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
The middle-aged man hurriedly responded and finally left the residence.
The intense pain from the injuries on his hands made him unable to hesitate any longer. He quickly ran towards the clinic.
Just you all wait! Just wait until I come back to settle things with you!
Liu Sisi naturally didn’t take this man’s thoughts to heart. Even if she did, she wouldn’t regard him as a threat. She casually waved toward the hidden spot: “Send someone to teach that man a lesson and make sure he doesn’t cause any trouble.”
It seemed as if a gust of wind blew from the hidden spot, and the surroundings soon returned to silence.
Liu Sisi also put the matter behind her, tidied up, and prepared to go out.
As she was about to step out of the room, she looked down and saw Di Xuan, who had not gone to the village school. Instead, he stood there, with a serious expression on his face.
Although Liu Sisi didn’t want to say anything, she thought for a moment and turned around: “No matter what ideas or prejudices you have about me, the one who most wants your father to return safely is me!”
After saying that, she didn’t wait for Di Xuan to speak and strode out of the courtyard, heading to the carriage parked at the doorway.
Old Cheng moved quickly. As soon as Liu Sisi and Ms. Gao got on the carriage, the horse whip was raised, and the carriage sped off.
Outside, Liu Zhi’er was greeting the customers. Seeing Old Cheng driving the carriage past, he hurriedly called out loudly, but the carriage sped past too quickly, causing Liu Zhi’er to feel desolate as he returned.
Today’s destination of the carriage was the same as yesterday’s, directly heading to the official residence in the county. Once there, Liu Sisi leisurely strolled around inside.
Inside the official residence, people were still busy working, and Liu Sisi’s arrival didn’t affect them.
Liu Sisi didn’t mind either. She slowly walked forward until she reached the hall before casually entering.
The foreman in charge of the explanation immediately followed her in.
Once inside, Liu Sisi glanced around at the surroundings before turning her gaze to the foreman.
“Miss.”
“How is the progress of the matter?”
“Miss, please rest assured. The tunnel is more than halfway completed. We estimate that by tonight at the latest, we will reach the underground where your brother-in-law is being held and rescue him.”
“Good! Excellent! Just remember to be discreet and make sure there are no spies from the other side mixed in. Let’s go. We should leave before the people outside get suspicious.”
“Yes, Miss.”
As Liu Sisi walked out, she asked, “has there been any recent news from the heir?”
“The heir said that everything is going smoothly and for Miss to rest assured.”
“That’s good.”
As the two talked, Liu Sisi had already stepped out of the front hall.
“The construction of this official residence is not bad. We have to ensure that it is both high-quality and on-schedule. The Old Master did ask me to supervise carefully before he left. You workers must not be lazy. I will not deduct any of your wages, but if I find any more incidents of cutting corners like just now, I will not let it slide!”
Liu Sisi gave another round of remarks before she finally got back on the carriage.
This time she didn’t go to the wine-house or the Silver Pavilion. Instead, she strolled around the South City for a while, walking and stopping along the way, causing the few small tails behind her to have a hard time keeping up.
Finally, as dusk approached, she got back on the carriage and headed home.
“Madam, the little tail behind us seems to have stopped following.”
Ms. Gao lifted a small gap and looked back. She was gradually getting used to Liu Sisi’s temperament and knew when it was appropriate to speak.
