"I'm sorry father for not fitting the beauty standards of the family and becoming a pretty lady like my sisters, please punish me if you can," Zhong Kexin stated making her father leave the place angrily. After he left, Zhi Meng Yao helped Zhong Kexin up.
"See, we've got our way!" Zhong Kexin stated making Zhi Meng Yao smile. After that, Zhi Meng Yao went for Zhong Kexin's dinner in the kitchen, and returned with it. Only to find that it was steamed buns and congee porridge.
"Who gave you this?" Zhong Kexin asked as she looked at the food angrily. How could they give her such disgusting food, even a pig would have been given better. How dare they disrespect my existence, Zhong Kexin thought to herself as she grumbled.
"It was already there, when I asked them, I was told that Old Madam was the one who had ordered that." Zhi Meng Yao replied.
"Oh? Is her food delivered?" Zhong Kexin asked and Zhi Meng Yao shook her head in negation. Getting a good idea, Zhong Kexin smiled as she stood up and arranged the food in the basket. She would teach that idiot some manners.
"Let's go get our meal." Zhong Kexin stated and Zhi Meng Yao shook her head in negation, she did not want to annoy the old madam. "Don't fear, carry it and follow me." Zhong Kexin ordered and the two left for the kitchen. There, Zhong Kexin asked for Old Madam's food basket.
"No, Miss we can't." The young lady stated as she shook her head in negation. Zhong Kexin was actually shocked. What was there to respect about that idiot that everyone feared her? Zhong Kexin thought.
"Then tell her that I can, tell that old geezer that she'll either respect me and we live peacefully or war till the end of the world." Zhong Kexin stated as she took the food basket, left the other one and left for her abode.Looking at the disappearing figures, the maid servant shivered before she decided to inform Madam Lin Leizu of the news. She immediately took the food basket and headed to her. She found her seated on a seat in her gazebo watching the setting sun- that was one of her favourite hobbies.The setting sun was ablaze, and it's angry rays colored the waters of the fish pond. Lin Leizu's heart beat fast as she had never seen the disc of the setting sun look so big and ominous. She really enjoyed such a view in the calm environment.
While walking swiftly, the maid servant stood before Madam and knelt down there, looking at her in a dazed manner, Lin Leizu asked, "What is the meaning of this?" She was confused.
"I'm sorry Madam, seventh Miss Zhong Kexin has taken your food and replaced it with hers, we stopped her but..." She stopped hesitating to talk. She had seen what had been done to Zhenzhen and had feared for she had seen the drastic change in her behaviour. She had even threatened Zhong Ah-Lam's beauty. What couldn't she do? If she had negated then something even worse might have happened to her as well. She knew well enough who to be scared of and who to not.
"Why didn't you take it away forcefully?" Lin Leizu asked as she glared at her maid servant who she deemed as useless at the moment. She had control over that useless wretched girl, so why did she hesitate? Of course she could not understand as not a single word of what had happened had actually reached her.
"Madam, earlier today Zhong Kexin threw Miss Zhong Ah-Lam's personal maid servant into the well and when confronted, she threatened to pierce her face so I feared that, she has been acting strangely enough lately." The maid servant replied to avoid making Madam Lin Leizu angry.
"Oh? Then get prepared, I'm going to confront her." Lin Leizu replied as she stood up and her maid servant also stood up, placed the basket on the table and followed her madam.
