191 Different Identities
She was never going to let her know about the existence of her floral fields.
Qiao Xuan's rejection caused suspicion in Liu Yan's eyes. She tried to stalk Qiao Xuan, but was discovered by Shao Xiaoqi. Qiao Xuan lectured her and asked Shao Taotao to take her to Ms. Fang.
Liu Yan tried to sneak into Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan's room when Shao Yunduan was at the college for studies, trying to find something there.
But Ms. Fang got to know and found her when she was going through the wardrobe.
Ms. Fang snapped at her angrily.
Knowing that she was not in a good position, Liu Yan apologized and did not dare to counter her.
Knowing what happened, Qiao Xuan angrily slapped Liu Yan right on the face, pointing at her and cursing. "Who do you think you are? How dare you rummage through my room! If you ever do that again, I am going to chop your hands, and ruin your face. Let's see if my good mother is going to defend you then!"
Qiao Xuan did not care if Liu Yan was idling around.
But she could not stand it when she dared into her room.
Liu Yan should never be allowed to find anything in her room.
Slapping her was the least punishment she could give to her.
Liu Yan felt her face flush badly.
She was so shocked that she even forgot to scream and stared at Qiao Xuan in surprise.
Did Second Miss just slap her? How could Second Miss be so ferocious?
Did she really, actually hit her? She was the timid and honest Second Miss! She was supposed to be weak!
Liu Yan felt as if she were dreaming.
Liu Yan believed that Qiao Xuan was a timid person who could be bullied easily, and that was why Liu Yan sneaked into Qiao Xuan's room.
Any servant would be punished heavily if such a thing happened in a family.
Servants might even die, if their masters had a bad temper.
"Heard what I just said?"
"What?" Liu Yan brought herself back, and felt pain arising on her cheek. Second Miss seemed so intimidating at that moment.
She could not help but shiver, as she replied. "Yes, I did!"
"Then bear my words in your mind." Qiao Xuan sneered. "Don't you ever forget whose hands you are in. I am not out for your blood, but don't think that I am someone easily bullied. If I am going to punish you, your contract will become mine too! I can ruin you, and your master will not be able to do anything about it, understand?"
Liu Yan turned pale and showed horror and fright.
If Second Miss ruined her, Elder Miss would definitely not help her, but blame her for not being able to complete the mission well. She would kick her away instead of caring about her.
Elder Miss might blame Second Miss as well, but what more could she do? Second Miss was also Officer Qiao's daughter.
Liu Yan suddenly realized who she really was. She was just a maid, and Second Miss was the master!
They had a huge difference in their identities.
If Second Miss ignored her, then things would be fine, but if she wanted to do anything to her, she would be helpless against the attack.
"Go into the wing-room. No food for you today!" Qiao Xuan said coldly.
Without uttering any sound, Liu Yan rushed away.
Back in the wing-room, Liu Yan collapsed onto the hard wooden bed, and her heart throbbed heavily.
