Liu Yan pursed her lips, but started to climb up to the cart unwillingly.
When she was about to climb on, Shao Yunduan waved the whip that hit straight on the bull's back. The bull, which got the jerk, suddenly lunges forward. Liu Yan let out a frightened scream. She took hold of the edge and climbed onto the cart in a messy way.
But Shao Yunduan did not have the intention of stopping. He did not care about the commotion behind his back.
Qiao Xuan asked Qiao Xuan in concern. "Are you alright?"
She almost burst into laughter but controlled it. Shao Yunduan, who looked so honest, could even throw a prank .
After a long while, Liu Yan finally settled on the cart. She was furious and glared at Qiao Xuan.
Alright? She was not at all alright!
Qiao Xuan ignored the stare and showed a gentle smile, sounding tolerant. "That is how a bullock cart works, not as comfortable as a cart, so… please learn to get used to it!"
Having said the words, Qiao Xuan ignored her and whispered to Shao Yunduan.
Looking at the shabby cart, and the chair that had been taken by Qiao Xuan, she found that she did not even have anywhere to sit apart from the filthy board.
Moreover, her hands were still on the board!
Liu Yan felt so disgusted that she raised her hands in the air.
The next second, she again got flung backwards on the cart, and almost got herself smashed on the board.
Feeling wronged, Liu Yan burst into tears. She felt so humiliated, but she did not want to show it. So, she tried to hide the sobbing sound.
Why her? Why was she suffering from misery!
She did not want to stay here any more.
She turned to Qiao Xuan's retreating figure. It was the Second Miss who made this happen.
She was going to see what Second Miss had so she could take revenge on her when she returned.
Finally, they arrived at the village.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan led Liu Yan home.
Seeing the shabby-looking house, Liu Yan felt even more sad.
What a terrible place!
Qiao Xuan felt a little bit troubled too. What was she going to do about the accommodation?
They had two rooms available, but they needed to be cleaned up.
Qiao Xuan presented Liu Yan to Ms. Fang and Shao Taotao. Then she turned to Liu Yan. "Come and greet Madame Shao and Third Miss!"
Liu Yan was startled.
Ms. Fang and Shao Taotao were startled too. "No, no, it is okay!"
Ms. Fang shook her head and arms. She was not used to such behavior.
Qiao Xuan added. "Mom, this is the maid my sister gave us. We can use her in any way we want. That is the rule. Liu Yan, kneel down and greet them!"
Slaves, when they met their masters for the first time, needed to kowtow.
Liu Yan felt dizzy and was shocked.
Was she going to greet a countryside woman and a rural girl? Second Miss was mental! She was not her real master!
Qiao Xuan frowned. "What are you doing Liu Yan? If you don't even know about the rules, you are humiliating my parents. I will send you home so you can learn them again!"
Startled, Liu Yan collapsed and kneeled. "Greetings, Madame Shao and Third Miss! Greetings!"
