Anyone who had had any contact with Yao shi would not believe that Yao shi could be this violent.
Yao shi was suffering from severe hysteria and depression. If she went mad, she might lose her mind and do such a thing, but it was another matter.
At the moment, Yao shi was very sober and at the right mind, and her mood was also very calm. The slap she gave Concubine Ling was a slap with a purpose.
Yao shi's eyes were like torches as she said, "This slap is to pay you back for worrying my daughter."
As a mother, the thing she was most unwilling to happen wasn’t herself getting hurt, but rather being insulted and harmed in front of her children.
She wanted to protect her children from being hurt, be it physically or mentally.
The corner of Concubine Ling's mouth was covered with blood, which showed how hard Yao shi’s slap was.
Concubine Ling wiped the corner of her mouth with her finger, then looked at the blood at her fingertips and smiled mockingly, "Madame, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Yao shi responded in a cold voice, "In front of me, are you qualified to refer to yourself as ‘I’?”
Concubine Ling's eyes grew cold, and as though she was already too lazy to pretend, she laughed coldly and said, "Has Madame gone crazy? After serving the Old Madame all morning, you think you really are the mistress of the estate?"
Yao shi replied in a firm tone, "I don't think so, I am exactly the mistress of the estate, the legal wife carried into the Marquis Estate by an eight-bearer sedan chair. On the other hand, you think yourself as something else, but you're just a concubine in the end. Hitting you is also to discipline you. If you dare, tell on me then!"
Concubine Ling let out a sneer, asking, "Madame thinks I dare not?"
Yao shi looked straight into her eyes for a moment before she said, "You dare, but I also dare. You know best what you have done to me."
For the first time, Concubine Ling couldn't meet Yao shi's eyes. She turned her face away with a cold snort, "I don't understand what Madam is talking about?"
Yao shi’s gaze was fixed on her face as she replied, "It doesn't matter if you play dumb. The days are long. I will show you clearly that I didn’t fight with you, not because I couldn’t fight you, but that I'm too lazy to do so!"
Concubine Ling smilingly said, "Oh, I thought Madame didn’t value these things? What birthright, what fame and fortune, these are mere worldly possessions. This is what you said yourself, Madame."
Yao shi took a step forward and looked at Concubine Ling steadily, saying, "That’s right. I don’t value them, I don’t want them. But since you do, I decided not to give them to you!"
"You..."
Concubine Ling choked up.
It had to be said that Yao shi's last sentence really hit Concubine Ling's sore spot.
The position of the main wife that Yao shi was unconcerned of had always been the thing she dreamed of. Marquis Gu's favor, which Yao shi also didn’t care about, was something she even more dreamed of holding in her hands. Even Yao shi's appearance and her attitude of being aloof from worldly strife were all what Concubine Ling wanted.
Concubine Ling clenched her fists and began to look around her. She then said, "Are you any nobler than me? At that time, my sister didn't despise you just because your family is in decline. She didn't disdain your young age and regarded you as a dear sister, and yet you stole her husband."
Yao shi didn’t believe that Concubine Ling didn’t know the truth of the incident. She was merely provoking her.
Yao shi would no longer be led by the nose by her like before. She chuckled and said, "At least I got it. How about you? I was away from the estate for ten years, but you still didn’t manage to steal this man after all these years. You’re only this capable."contemporary romance
Every single word that came out of Yao shi’s mouth poked Concubine Ling's heart, making her so angry that she was about to cough up blood.
She had never been so humiliated in front of Yao shi.
Compared with Yao shi's harsh and blunt words, that slap was nothing.
Seeing that Concubine Ling's fighting power in this round had been exhausted, Yao shi gave her a cold look and then proudly walked away!
Only when she had gone far did the servant girl of Concubine Ling dare to come forward and said with concern, "Concubine, are you alright? Madame is too much. How can she hit you like that? Let's go tell the Old Madame and let the Old Madame punish her!"
Concubine Ling touched her swollen cheek and said in a cold voice, "Just for a slap? You use the best steel to make the knife's edge![1]"
Meanwhile, after returning to her own courtyard, Yao shi didn't let any servant girls follow her and went into her bedroom alone.
As soon as she entered, she closed the door and fell to the ground.
Grannie Fang felt something was wrong with her Madame halfway through. After Yao shi entered her room, she pushed the door open and came in.
As a result, she saw Yao shi sitting awkwardly on the ground.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t afraid...
She just held back her fear.
Grannie Fang was Yao shi's confidant, she was ten years older than Yao shi. She had served Yao shi even when she was still in the Yao residence, so it could be said he had watched Yao shi grow to this day.
She knew very well what kind of temper Yao shi had.
She wasn’t someone to cause trouble nor to provoke a fight. She was a timid person.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been forced to move to the villa in the countryside.
When Yao shi acted tough and talked big in front of the eldest young mis, Grannie Fang didn't give it much hope. She only thought of it as a mere lip service. Never did she expect that her Madame would really deal a cruel hand to Concubine Ling.
And this was when she wasn’t sick at all.
To be honest, such a Madame surprised Grannie Fang.
"Grannie..." Yao shi looked at Grannie Fang with grievance.
Grannie Fang smiled, knelt down, and fixed up the buyao on Yao shi's head, saying, "Madame has done very well. Madame is very courageous. In the future, just like this, put on the appearance of the main wife and let people see. Even if you’re afraid, don't show timidity in front of others. Don't let those insignificant people look down on you. Even though we have no intention of fighting others for anything, no one believes it. Since that’s the case, we might as well confidently put on a fight and let them know how formidable we can be!"
Yao shi's mood calmed down little by little. She nodded her head and said, "I was naive in the past, thinking that if I didn't fight, they would let me off… let Yan'er off. But I won't be so stupid again in the future."
……
A lot had been going on in the Ministry of Works. Marquis Gu, who couldn’t go back to the estate last night, dragged his whole person back into the estate tonight.
He went to Yao shi's side without saying a word.
It was already so late but Yao shi hadn’t slept yet. She even left a lamp lit up for him in the room.
Marquis Gu was moved.
Sure enough, after having stayed in the Hot Spring Villa for half a year, his relationship with his wife became much better than before.
Marquis Gu, exhausted, opened the door and said, "Wife, I'm back!"
As soon as his voice fell, a washing board fell in front of him with a bang.
Marquis Gu raised his eyebrows oddly, "Er... This is..."
Yao shi turned around and looked at him coldly, saying, "I heard you beat JiaoJiao."
Marquis Gu’s heart thumped. He straightened up and replied, "Which bastard said that?"
