Finest Servant Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Settling the Score with Her (Part 2)

Lin Wanrong stared at the two rows of deep bite marks on his arm, with a trace of blood, feeling extremely annoyed. “Damn, this girl not only keeps dogs, but she's also as fierce as one. Her bite is almost as strong as the mighty general's.”

Seeing Xiao Yushuang crying out in pain, Lin Wanrong's heart softened a bit, but he knew this was a crucial moment. If he couldn't subdue her today, there would be no peace in the future.

“Will you talk or not?” Lin Wanrong shouted angrily, showing no mercy.

“Why are you so fierce?” Second Miss Xiao sobbed. “I didn't do anything to those servants. I just occasionally had some guards play-fight with my mighty general in this room, and sometimes had some maids clean him. I didn't know they'd be so scared.”

Lin Wanrong was speechless! It was incredible that Second Miss Xiao could think of having guards fight with her ferocious dog. With their physique, how could they be a match for the mighty general? This young lady was truly the devil of the Xiao Mansion. No one would dare to approach her with that fierce dog by her side.

Second Miss Xiao felt him stop moving, so she sneakily turned her head, only to see Lin Wanrong glaring at her with an indescribable look of disgust.

Xiao Yushuang became anxious, and tears fell again. “Lin Wanrong, please don't hit me anymore. I know I was wrong.”

“What did you do wrong?” Lin Wanrong asked.

“I shouldn't have let my dog attack people, nor should I have been so willful and bullied you,” Second Miss Xiao cried with a grievance.

Lin Wanrong snorted, “Then swear that you won't bully others or take revenge on them in the future.”

Second Miss Xiao glanced at him and said with a pitiful expression, “If I don't bully others, what if they bully me?”

Lin Wanrong patted her bottom and jokingly scolded, “You little girl, if you don't bully others, they would already be grateful and bow to you. Who would dare to bully you?”

Xiao Yushuang's face flushed, and she glared at Lin Wanrong. Seeing his cold eyes and fierce expression, the young girl felt scared and pouted, “Fine, I'll swear. Why do you have to be so mean? I've never seen a servant as bad as you—”

Seeing Lin Wanrong's displeased face, Xiao Yushuang quickly corrected herself, “Fine, fine, you're not a servant, you're our family's guard. I've never seen a guard as fierce as you.”

Second Miss Xiao made her vow. Seeing that Lin Wanrong had not released her, she felt annoyed but was helpless against Lin Wanrong's stubbornness. She looked at him with pleading eyes and said, “Lin Wanrong, I've made my vow. Please let me go.”

Lin Wanrong thought that after scaring and intimidating her today, she shouldn't dare to bother him again. This matter should be considered settled. He pondered and said, “Fine, I'll let you go now. Remember your vow. I won't pursue the past wrongdoings you've done to me, and we'll call it even. What do you think?”

Xiao Yushuang saw his softened expression, and her fear subsided. She couldn't help but bargain, “Then you have to tell me who painted that picture and whose idea was the booklet? If not, I'll tell my mother and sister that you, a villain, hit me.”

Lin Wanrong didn't expect her to still be concerned about those matters. He found it quite amusing and annoying at the same time. Hearing her threat, he felt irritated and his face darkened, “What now? Are you trying to threaten me? I'm afraid of many things, but not threats, especially from a little girl like you.”

Seeing his fierce expression, Xiao Yushuang burst into tears, “You, you villain! You said I bullied you, but nothing happened to you. However, you bullied me and hit me. No one has ever dared to treat me like this. You've taken such advantage, why can't you answer my questions?”

Lin Wanrong looked at her and saw her genuine sadness. His heart softened and he said softly, “Second Miss Xiao, there's honor among thieves, and every profession has its rules. If I tell you, I'd be a dishonorable person. Though I might have a thick skin and be good-looking, I still value my reputation. Please don't force me. Maybe one day, you'll find that master yourself.”

Seeing that Lin Wanrong's fierce expression was only a facade and his tone was more reasonable, Xiao Yushuang's fear disappeared. She snorted and said, “You really do have a thick skin. Now, will you let me go?”

Lin Wanrong said seriously, “But I have to make one thing clear beforehand. You must fulfill the vow you just made. If I find out you're bullying others again, the punishment won't be as simple as a spanking.”

Xiao Yushuang's face turned red, wanting to get angry, but seeing Lin Wanrong's stern face, she dared not lash out and obediently said, “I know.”

Lin Wanrong sighed, “As a girl, you spend all day thinking about how to torment others. What's the point of that? Use your free time to learn embroidery or household management instead. That's the right path, otherwise, how will you get married in the future?”

Second Miss Xiao glanced at him with a slightly flushed face but didn't dare to talk back, and mumbled, “Whether or not I get married is none of your business.”

Fighting with a woman was something a man could never truly win. Lin Wanrong found it amusing and didn't bother to argue with her anymore, so he gently let her go.

Now free, Xiao Yushuang, frightened and exhausted, leaned against the wall and slowly sat down on the ground. As soon as her bottom touched the floor, she cried out in pain and jumped up as if she was on fire.

Lin Wanrong looked at her helplessly and said, “My Second Miss Xiao, what's wrong now?”

Xiao Yushuang's face turned red, “It's all your fault, you villain! You hit me there, how am I supposed to face others now?” She sobbed.

Second Miss Xiao really had a childlike temper, bursting into tears so easily that Lin Wanrong was caught off guard.

Lin Wanrong hadn't had the chance to take a good look at her while they were fighting. Now that he did, he noticed that she had delicate eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a small nose, red lips, and a fair complexion. Though young, she had grown into a slender beauty. Especially with her tearful face, she looked like a pear blossom in the rain, exuding an indescribable charm.

Somehow, looking at this extraordinary little beauty, Lin Wanrong suddenly thought of her charming mother. It seemed that this young girl had indeed inherited all her mother's advantages.

Lin Wanrong wasn't interested in this young girl, but seeing her silently shedding tears and looking helpless, he couldn't harden his heart. It felt like punching cotton.

“Alright, tell me what's wrong.” Lin Wanrong said impatiently, seeing the girl's never-ending tears.

“I, my bottom hurts, it's all your fault,” the young girl whispered shyly.

Lin Wanrong gave a light “oh” and realized he might have been too harsh, and her bottom must be swollen by now.

“Who told you to be so reckless before? Consider this your punishment,” Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

“You, you,” the young girl's face filled with anger, “I'll tell my mother and sister—.”
