"What are you doing? Get out of my way. This madam wants to see the Third Young Miss."
"Furen… Please forgive this servant… This servant cannot let you go out."
The servant lowered her head. If she would allow Xiao Lou to leave her courtyard, she would be punished by their Laoye[1]. So, even if the servant wanted to, she could not allow their Furen to leave and visit their Third Young Miss.
*slap!*
"You dare to block this madam's way?! How dare you!! Did you eat leopard's guts? Get out! Move away from the door and let me leave!"
Xiao Lou pushed the servant away from the door and tried to go out. When the other servants saw that Xiao Lou was really planning to leave, they immediately obstructed her way.
When Xiao Lou saw that the servants were trying to block her path, she roared and raised her hand to slap the nearest servant in front of her.
*slap!*
"Impudent! You shameless servants!! This madam is the one managing the entire residence! You dare deny my authority?! What?! Do all of you want to be sold away in a brothel or do all of you want to be killed?! This madam is going to the Third Young Miss. Move away and let me leave!!"
Xiao Lou glared at the five servants standing in front of her. She once again tried to move forward, wanting to go out of her inner room but the five servants once again tried to block her way.
"F-Furen..please quell your anger… pl-please listen to this servant. T-This servant was ordered by Laoye to n-not allow Furen to leave the courtyard.. F-Furen, Laoye is currently angry at Furen and Furen should not do things that would intensify L-Laoye's anger."
"This madam does not care!!! This madam only wants to see the Third Young Miss and wants to find if the Third Young Miss is okay. Move!! Do not let this madam to say it trice!"
Xiao Lou was now fuming mad. Her eyes bulged with anger and her pretty face was very red. She moved her feet, trying to advance her steps but unfortunately, she was once again blocked by the five servants.
"Please Furen… Please return inside."
The five servants kneeled. They were still at the inner room's door, occupying the entire way and not allowing Xiao Lou to pass through.
"AAHHHHH!!!"
Without any other choice, after throwing a fit, Xiao Lou could only return inside the inner room. She went to the nearest table and wiped all the things on top of it.
*clank!*
*clank!*
*clank!*
All the tea cups fell on the floor and broke into pieces. One shard bounced and swiftly moved towards Xiao Lou, scratching her face. Blood started oozing on her cheeks.
"Furen!!"
The five servants who were ordered by XuanLi to detain Xiao Lou was startled when they saw that she was bleeding. Even the mama and other Xiao Lou's servants panicked frantically when they saw that there was a huge cut on her face.
"Quick! Call a physician! Call a physician!"
The mama ordered one of Xiao Lou's servants while she went towards Xiao Lou and hastily wiped the blood on her cheeks while trying to press the wound in order to stop the bleeding.
But instead of being grateful, Xiao Lou seemed like she had not notice that she was bleeding. She glared at the mama and slapped her hands that was trying to press the wound her cheeks.
"Stay away! Do not touch this madam!"
The mama, being old, could not withstand Xiao Lou's force and fell on the ground which was full of broken pieces of tea cups.
"Aaaaccckk!"
The mama could not help but scream when she noticed the pain in her palms. She found out that some of the broken shards cut her palm and entered the flesh. Too bad, Xiao Lou only stared at her as if she did not care that the mama was wounded because of her.
"LEAVE!! ALL OF YOU LEAVE!!!!"
Xiao Lou roared while not caring that the blood on her cheeks had already trickled from her face down to her neck, staining her dress.
"F-Furen.. let us take care of you wound first."
One of her maids wanted to help Xiao Lou but she only pushed the servant away.
"Why aren't you leaving?! Just because this madam is grounded, you are now trying to rebel and won't even listen to this madam's words anymore?!"
"This servant is asking forgiveness."
"LEAVE!! I SAID LEAVE, ALL OF YOU!!!"
Without any other choice, all of the servants inside Xiao Lou's inner room left, including the five ones who were ordered by XuanLi, and only leaving Xiao Lou alone inside without anyone attending on her.
When all of the servants had already left, Xiao Lou started crying.
'Why? What went wrong?'
Xiao Lou could not help but think deeply. Her plan was supposed to be perfect but something went wrong and everything started moving out of her control. Her daughter's reputation, although she was still viewed as a victim, had turned bad because her body had been seen by some male guests. She, the dignified wife of the prime minister and the female master of the entire prime minister's residence, had to lower herself and act like a crazy person in order to hide the fact that everything was their scheme and to save her daughter.
Xiao Lou gnashed her teeth as she stared at the distance.
'It was all that bitch's fault! That's right! That bitch, XuanRong is definitely the one who destroyed all of our plan!'
"…. XuanRong…. Someday, I, Xiao Lou, will definitely kill you and feed your body to the dogs!"

XuanRong was already feeling awkward. Luckily, they had already arrived at her courtyard. Since her courtyard was very far from the main hall, the commotion at the Thousand Li courtyard had not yet reached her own courtyard and the servants were still acting normal.
Xu Fei Yi effortlessly avoided all the servants outside the room. He jumped through the window and entered the outer room while still carrying XuanRong. Since XuanRong left a while ago in order to attened her own coming of age ceremony, none of the servants were inside the outer and inner room.
When Xu Fei Yi entered the outer room, he nonchalantly marched towards the partition connecting the inner and outer room as if he was very familiar of the layout of XuanRong's personal room.
"Err… We are already here… you can.. you can now put me down.."
XuanRong spoke but Xu Fei Yi did not respond to her words. She felt like she was speaking in air.
When Xu Fei Yi entered the inner room and saw the large bed, he did not stop his steps and went towards it. When he arrived at the bed, he slowly and carefully placed XuanRong on it. XuanRong sat on the bed and raised her head to look at her benefactor.
"T-Thank you for carrying me here.. I----."
"You are not allowed."
"Huh?"
XuanRong was unable to understand Xu Fei Yi's words. She thoughtlessly stared at him. Her lips were slightly parted with each other, making her look foolish but adorable. All the anger inside Xu fei Yi's heart vanished completely when he saw her stupid expression.
Looking at the delicious delicacy in front of him, Xu Fei Yi's throat tightened. He could not help but stare at XuanRong's pinkish lips. It looked like a petal of a flower. He had the urge to pluck and taste it.
Something was urging him to lower his head and capture XuanRong's lips….
Without any second thought, Xu Fei Yi followed his instinct.
XuanRong's eyes widened when her benefactor suddenly lowered his head and captured her lips.
