The Marquise almost spat out blood. Her body trembled as she stared at Xiao Zi Xuan. Of course she knew what her servants did, but she only wasn’t bothered. She assumed that those girls would not take away too many things, but who knew that they would make such careless mistakes.
She originally thought that Xiao Zi Xuan would not dare to turn hostile in front of her and would let this matter pass. Who’d expect Xiao Zi Xuan to come finding trouble right now, especially using such a way.
”Old Mistress, please have mercy, we didn’t do it,” With a swoosh, the few servants by the side kneeled and begged for mercy. If they had known that things would turn out like this, they wouldn’t have dared to do so even if they were beaten to death.
They were exposed to expensive things before, but without knowing why, they ended up feeling greedy upon seeing the Young Master’s items.
Xiao Zi Xuan looked at the few servants kneeling on the ground. Very good, it seems like everyone’s present.
”Drag them out and flog them all to death. Kill whoever dares to obstruct,” Xiao Zi Xuan stared ferociously at the few women. It was their fault that her poor child ended up in that state.
”Yes, Princess.”
Was the Marquise able to stop them? No matter what, the few servants deserved to be punished. It would be an embarrassment to the Ling Residence if news about the embezzlement were to spread and a child was seriously ill because of that. The family’s face would be thrown.
Xiao Zi Xuan looked to the other side with a faint smile: “Why? Mother-in-law, do you wish to obstruct?”
”Xiao Zi Xuan, don’t go overboard,” The Marquise had a pale expression. She never imagined Xiao Zi Xuan to be so hard to deal with.
Xiao Zi Xuan laughed loudly: “Me going overboard? Who was the one who went overboard? Beat them.”
Hearing the sounds of pleading from the servant girls and nannies, Xiao Zi Xuan was filled with waves of bloodlust. It was their fault, it was because of them.
Soon, miserable screams could be heard from outside, there was even a faint smell of blood and sounds of pleading. Their voices caused the Marquise to frown and her face was pale without the slightest trace of blood.
Xiao Zi Xuan stood at the entrance as she looked at the scenery outside expressionlessly.
She wasn’t a kind person to begin with, but she really liked her child. If someone made her child cry, she would not hesitate to kill those related to it.
The voices of those servants gradually faded. After confirming that they were dead, Xiao Zhi Xuan left with her people, leaving a stubborn sight of her back to the Marquise.
When the Marquise eyes accidentally saw the sight outside, she fainted from shock. When Ling Luo finally arrived at the scene, he couldn’t help but furrowed his brows. What’s all this?
Matters in the Ling Residence quickly reached the ears of Ning Meng Yao and Qiao Tian Chang.
When she heard that Xiao Zi Xuan’s child had recovered from a high fever but would have problems with his intelligence in the future, the hand Ning Meng Yao used to hold the teacup began trembling.
She furrowed her brows. She hated Xiao Zi Xuan. The moment she knew that she had lost her child, she had the thought of sending Xiao Zi Xuan’s child to accompany hers, but she did not do so in the end because the child was innocent no matter what.
But the child right now had been ruined by his own grandmother. How ridiculous.
”What are you thinking about?” Seeing Ning Meng Yao in a daze, she seemed to have thought of something, Qiao Tian Chang couldn’t help but frown What is this silly girl thinking about? Almost as if she has a load on her mind?
Ning Meng Yao placed her teacup down: “It’s nothing, I just feel that things are impermanent,” Xiao Zi Xuan’s child became seriously ill. Similarly, she had also experienced the feeling of heartache. Ning Meng Yao did not plan to pursue the debt owed to her.
”Why do you care?” Qiao Tian Chang didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry seeing her say such things for the sake of a child.
Ning Meng Yao glanced at Qiao Tian Chang: “Do you think we should continue?”
”What do you think?”
Ning Meng Yao gently shook her head: “I’m not sure either, I’ve always wanted the Ling Residence and Xiao Residence to suffer just like the Qiao Family, but no matter what we do, our child isn’t coming back.”
”You’re having such thoughts because of Xiao Zi Xuan’s child?”
”Yes,” Ning Meng Yao nodded. She did not hide her thoughts from Qiao Tian Chang.
