My Daughter Was My Sworn Enemy In Past Life

Chapter 17: Compensation! (2)

Xing gē er felt a pang of pain in his arm. He subconsciously looked over and saw the dead snake’s head.

“Ah!” A terrifying scream rang in the air, scaring away the birds on the trees as they flapped their wings.

Seeing Xing gē er, who was frightened and had fainted, Xu Yun Yao let out a cold snort. She finally threw away the dead snake that had been smashed to pieces, patted her hands, and arranged her messy clothes.

No one in this world bullied This Palace and did not pay the price!

“Good job, Third Sister. Third Sister is good. Hmm, hmm, hmm…” Mian’ger clapped and shouted, yelling till his mother was forced to cover his mouth. She desperately carried him away.

Immediately, women from various families stepped forward and took their children away.

——

“You, wash it harder. Right, harder! Put on the soap, quickly!”

In the third house’s courtyard, Ruan-shi was going crazy, shouting and ordering her daughter to wash her face.

Xu Yun Yao was squatting in front of the wooden basin. She pursed her mouth, rubbed the fragrant soap, and washed her hands with more strength.

But Ruan-shi was still not satisfied. “Use more strength; use more strength! Wash that smell clean!”

“It’s gone!” Xu Yun Yao held her hands up, which had been washed to wrinkles.

“No, it still smells. Rewash it!”

Xu Yun Yao was helpless. However, she didn’t dare to provoke her. She immersed her hands in the basin again.

“Use soap!” Ruan-shi added a sentence.

“Okay…” Xu Yun Yao just sighed and trailed off.

“Madam, the water is ready.” Bi Wen quickly stepped forward.

Ruan-shi took a deep breath and ordered her daughter, “You, come in!”

“Okay—” Xu Yun Yao was as well-behaved as she could be. With wet hands hanging behind her, she entered the bathroom.

“Give me your hands!” Ruan-shi commanded.

Xu Yun Yao stretched out her hands obediently. She watched her mother’s face as she disgustedly took off her small clothes with her orchid fingers. After that, Ruan-shi threw away the first set of clothes. She picked up Xu Yun Yao and put her into a bathtub full of water.

The water splashed, and a ladleful of warm water flowed down her head. Ruan-shi washed her daughter’s hair vigorously and said, “So dirty, so dirty…”

After a while, there was another sound of water. Xu Yun Yao, however, said nothing. She was very well-behaved, letting the woman bathe her.

Outside, Bi Wen threw Xu Yun Yao’s small clothes into the firepot.

After half an hour, she heard the girl’s tender, soft cry of pain from the bathroom, “It hurts. It hurts…”

“How can you wash it clean without exerting strength?” came the answer from the house madam.

“My skin is being peeled!”

“It’s good if it’s peeled. It’s good if you can wash out this layer of skin!” The gentle madam’s voice at this moment sounded a bit cold.

Somehow she wanted to laugh a little. She could already imagine the scene of the enraged madam scrubbing the little girl.

The little girl had made a mistake and had a guilty conscience. She could only cry in pain, trying to evoke her motherly love.

Ruan-shi coldly scrubbed her daughter’s small body, wishing to rub her skin off. She used the soap again and again and changed the water three times. Ruan-shi then looked at her daughter, who was completely flushed, and thought it was barely alright.

After a while, she saw her daughter, who had put on clean clothes, and finally let out a long sigh.

Very good. The clean, tender, and sweet little girl had returned!

After washing her daughter, she immediately went out again and called in Zhou gē er, who was punished to stand under the eaves of the house. She carried him into the bathroom. After a while, Xu Yun Yao heard Zhou gē er’s cry coming from the bathroom.

She held her cheeks as she listened to the woman’s reprimand and the child’s screaming, her mouth pursed.

This woman was so cowardly. What was so scary about dead snakes? In her past life, even if it was a living poisonous snake, she could do it without blinking!

Compared with these poisons, the human heart was the most terrifying thing in the world!

Tang Song Nian took a sip of wine in the front hall. His surroundings were empty. Most of the guests coming to visit today were for Tang Bai Nian, who was close to Magistrate Wu. However, with the intentional or unintentional propaganda of Tang Bai Nian, everyone knew that the Third Master of Tang Manor had offended Magistrate Wu.

Although it would not hurt him, he would avoid what he could to prevent causing trouble.

Tang Song Nian didn’t care either. He was enjoying himself by pouring and drinking wine. Suddenly, seeing Mo Yan winking at him at the door, he put down his glass and went out. “What’s the matter?”

Mo Yan then told about how Xing gē er and his brothers had brought a dead snake to scare, Mian gē er, Zhou gē er, and Xu Yun Yao. Instead, Xu Yun Yao drew the ‘snake whip’ and gave him a good beating. He also said, “The eldest madam is crying while hugging her son, asking madam to give her an explanation!”

Tang Song Nian sneered. “Give her an explanation? Being an elder brother, yet taking the lead in bullying his younger brothers and sisters, I also want to ask her how she taught such a rebellious son!”

Mo Yan deeply agreed.

That pair of little brothers of the first house was so mean. They brought outsiders to bully their younger brothers and sister, and when they got bullied back, they still had the face to cry!

What a shame on the Tang family!
