Chapter 794: 794 Bribe Xing
“You wish!” Xing glanced at the basket of vegetables, “Lady Mo, what you committed is theft. Although you only stole vegetables from the Fang Mansion, the Master hates theft the most. If he finds out, he’ll have you beaten with dozens of planks which could cost you half your life!”
Lady Mo’s face turned pale upon hearing this, “Xing, I just left some vegetables for Brother Xiao, do you really need to make things so hard for us?”
“Hmph. Who asked you to go around being so promiscuous? I wanted to have a good time with you, but you’re not willing!” Xing said, “With such a great opportunity, how can I not let you suffer a bit.”
If it were any other time, Lady Mo would’ve reluctantly agreed to his request. However, in front of Xiao Yishan, it wasn’t appropriate to act so indecently. She turned to Xiao Yishan and said, “Brother Xiao, please help me and put in a good word for me. After all, I saved these vegetables just for you. Surely, you can’t just watch me being beaten with planks…”
Xiao Yishan didn’t want to harm anyone either, “Your name is Xing, right? Just let it go. There’s no need to make things hard for a woman.”
“If she didn’t take things for granted before, and go around being shameless, I wouldn’t let her off when I finally got a chance!” Xing said sternly, “Come with me to see the Master!”
He reached out to grab Lady Mo, and she struggled, “I don’t want to go!”
He initially wanted to drag Xiao Yishan too, but after seeing his imposing figure and intimidating facial expression, he was afraid he would get punched and thus, didn’t dare to do so.
“What happened?” A female voice timely interjected in the conversation.
Looking up, Lady Mo saw Li Rong’er, the young Lady’s attendant, who was always a kind person. Lady Mo hurriedly explained, “Rong’er, please help me talk to Xing! I just saved some vegetables for Brother Xiao, but Xing insists on taking me to see the Master. As you know, the Master despises theft, and I will be beaten with dozens of planks, leaving me half dead…”
“Not only did Lady Mo steal, but she also committed adultery with Xiao Yishan!” Xing said angrily, “I will expose this scandal and ruin this pair of despicable lovers!”
“What nonsense are you spouting? Lady Mo and I have nothing to do with each other!” Xiao Yishan’s face turned livid.
Xing didn’t believe him, “You say there’s nothing, but I saw it with my own eyes! Would people believe you or me if I tell them…” Gathering his courage to say this, Xiao Yishan’s rage-stricken face sent shivers down his spine. If it hadn’t been for someone’s request, he really wouldn’t want to offend him.
Li Rong’er was also afraid that Xiao Yishan might resort to violence and quickly spoke up, “Xing, I trust Brother Xiao’s character. He’s not that kind of person. As for Lady Mo stealing some vegetables for Brother Xiao, let’s just forget about it.” She took out one tael of silver and handed it to Xing, “Here’s some money for you, consider it a little token of appreciation. Just pretend you didn’t see anything, alright?”
Xing weighed the silver in his hand and said, “This wouldn’t work for anyone else. But for Sister Rong’er’s sake, I’ll let it slide.”
He let go of Lady Mo’s hand, muttered a few curses, and then left.
Lady Mo grumbled, “Xing is such a greedy bastard.” She glanced at Li Rong’er, “And you, our salary is only two hundred cents a month, and you spent one tael. We’ll have to work for free for four months! I almost forgot, you’re the young Lady’s attendant, the head maid, earning three hundred yuan per month, a hundred more than me. Still, you’ll have to work without pay for a long time…”
“It’s better than you being beaten with dozens of planks,” Li Rong’er said, “half a life wouldn’t be saved by one or two taels of silver.”
Lady Mo finally stopped talking, “Fine, it’s given. Thanks!”
