Chapter 652: Slap
What she got in response was Ye Mo bending over and taking off her shoes, then his, before he dragged her onto the bed.
“My wife, I want to sleep with you no matter what!”
Seeing how he could not care less, Liu Duo got so angry she could not find the right words.
How could there be anyone so shameless, so thick-skinned?
She turned to the side with her back facing him and shut her eyes, choosing to block communication with him. He could do whatever he pleased.
Downstairs, Ye Liu engaged in conversation with Dongfang Ming while Ye Ling practiced writing on the side. The youngest brother would contribute his opinion every so often.
Ye Yang was giving Hei Xiaomeng a bath by the well.
Hei Xiaomeng was quite obedient. It just stood there, not budging, while Ye Yang gave it a good wash.
“Yang, how big do you think Hei Xiaomeng could grow to?” Li Wazi observed the wet dog from the sidelines and asked out of curiosity.
Usually, a Mastiff could grow to be much bigger than a common dog.
Ye Yang scrubbed the fur around its neck. “Don’t know.”
They had never raised a Mastiff before, how would they know? No one else in the village had any large-sized dogs. For one thing, the dog itself was very expensive, and for another, they had to be fed with large quantities of good food. Not everyone could afford it.
On the other end, Wang Xiangyun had returned to town. Her tears had not stopped flowing, and she had not taken her lunch.
“Miss, let’s go back to the capital, alright?” Little Tian helped wipe away her tears. She felt pity for her.
Her lady had cried over Dongfang Ming so many times. Despite knowing that feelings could not be forced, she hated Dongfang Ming for being so ruthless and not even giving her lady a chance. He would avoid her every single time!
Having unraveled her acupuncture points, Wang Xiangyun just sat there in a daze, not moving, not speaking.
Little Tian sighed. Even she felt a little tearful. She said to her lady, “Miss, I know it’s probably not my place to say this, as a servant, but please forgive me. Miss, I think you should forget about Mr. Dongfang. Doesn’t he intend to cancel the engagement? Why don’t we do that before he does? With your looks and your intellect, there’s no way you can’t find a good husband. You shouldn’t have to go through this kind of pain.”
She had wanted to say that for a long time, but because of her status, she had kept it in. But now, she could not hold on anymore.
Immediately after that, there was a slap.
Blood trickled from the corner of Little Tian’s mouth. This was surprisingly the first time Wang Xiangyun had ever punished her.
“How impudent! Have I been too good to you? Have you forgotten who you are? How dare you say such things?” Wang Xiangyun glared at her, obviously ruffled.
Little Tian instantly knelt down and continued fearlessly, “Miss, I know I am just a servant. I am not qualified to say these things. But I can’t bear to see you so unhappy. Mr Dongfang may be a wonderful man, but judging from the way he treats you, I doubt he has feelings for you. If he did have any, he wouldn’t bear to see you cry. Miss, set yourself free, alright?”
Wang Xiangyun was aware of all that and more. She got up, walked towards the window and gazed upon the bright sun in the sky, but her heart remained gloomy.
“You may leave. I want to be alone.”
Little Tian observed her lady’s lonely figure as she stood up and wiped away the little bit of bloodstain by her lips. “Miss, for the sake of your health please have something to eat. Your lunch is still warm.”
And then she turned towards the door.
When she came to the exit, Wang Xiangyun spoke up. “Get some medicine for your cheek and mouth.”
Little Tian could hear the apology in her voice. Eyes lined in tears, she looked back at Wang Xiangyun, who had her back towards her. Little Tian whimpered in acknowledgement of her orders.
She knew Wang Xiangyun had slapped her because her lady had let her disappointment override her thoughts. But if this was what she, as a servant, had to do to stop her lady from abusing herself, she was willing to be slapped a few more times!
