Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: Furious

"You’re quite leisurely, sister." Xuexue cast her a cold glance, intending to walk past without paying her any attention.

Unexpectedly, Situtu Qinger reached out to stop Miss Zhang, grabbing her chin tightly with one hand: "Tsk tsk, where did such a beauty come from? Truly lovely."

"Mmm mmm...!"

Instinctively, Miss Zhang raised her hand and forcefully smacked away Situtu Qinger’s hand: "You’re hurting me! What are you doing?"

"Oh my! You wretched girl, such a fiery temper. You dare to push me, your mistress?"

Having her arm smacked away by Miss Zhang, Situtu Qinger was fuming. Already upset from being overshadowed by Situtu Xueer in the General’s Mansion, she now found herself defied by a mere maid who had just entered the estate. Her anger exploded in an instant.

"Mei Hua, step forward and slap her twenty times. Let her understand the rules of the General’s Mansion."

Mei Hua stood hesitantly in place, glancing at the eldest lady and then at the second lady, not daring to approach Miss Zhang to carry out the punishment.

Situtu Qinger: "Rebelling now, are you? Who, exactly, is your master?"

Mei Hua looked utterly distressed: "The maid’s master is, of course, the Second Miss, but the eldest lady...!"

Before she could finish, Situtu Qinger impatiently cut her off: "Since you know I’m your master, obey my orders and stop spewing nonsense."

"Yes." Mei Hua agreed verbally, but her gaze cautiously flicked toward Xuexue.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and slap her!" Situtu Qinger barked fiercely again.

Mei Hua trembled all over, hurriedly stepping forward as she raised her hand, preparing to strike Miss Zhang hard...

At that moment, a hand suddenly gripped her wrist firmly, rendering her entirely immobile.

The next second...

"Crack!"

The sound resembled that of breaking bones.

"Ah...!"

Immediately after, Mei Hua let out a blood-curdling scream.

When Situtu Qinger raised her eyes, she saw Zi Xia cruelly shattering Mei Hua’s wrist.

Mei Hua, with her wrist snapped, collapsed onto the ground, wailing like a banshee.

Enraged, Situtu Qinger turned to Xuexue and exclaimed, "Eldest sister, look at your maid—she’s far too barbaric! She broke my maid’s wrist just like that. Tell me, how should we resolve this?"

Without a trace of expression, Xuexue replied, "Serves her right. That’s what happens when she follows the wrong master."

"You... you..." Situtu Qinger stomped her foot furiously: "You’re bullying me! I’m going to tell father!"

With that, she spun around and ran off, even leaving Mei Hua, who lay writhing and screaming on the ground, completely unattended.

Xuexue shot her a cold glance, intending to leave as well, when she heard Miss Zhang’s weak voice call out: "Eldest Miss, are we really leaving just like this?"

Xuexue replied, "What’s the matter?"

Miss Zhang looked toward the writhing Mei Hua on the ground with a sympathetic expression: "Are we just going to let her writhe here in pain, with no one tending to her?"

"It’s someone else’s person—not something we should concern ourselves with."

It wasn’t that Xuexue was unfeeling. Not long ago, Mei Hua had clearly sided with her, yet always betrayed her at critical moments to curry favor with Situtu Qinger. Xuexue had no patience left for her.

Faced with such a fickle maid, it was entirely undeserving of her care. Whether Mei Hua lived or died would depend entirely on her own fate.

Of course, that was only if she didn’t offend Xuexue directly.

Otherwise, she would make sure Mei Hua’s life became a living hell.

"But it feels far too cruel. What if we call a doctor to treat her injuries?"

Xuexue’s tone turned cold: "Miss Zhang, this is the General’s Mansion, not some Charity Hall. And you better understand your position—it’s no longer ’Miss Zhang,’ just a maid in the General’s Mansion. I suggest you stop meddling and stick to your duties."
