Zhen Mi also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Her poor social experience told her that a daughter-in-law should please her mother-in-law, so she wanted to serve Mrs. Liu.
"Mother, let daughter-in-law serve you.”Zhen Mi stood up and began to prepare the dishes for Madam Liu.
"Hmph, when your husband was here just now, why didn't I see you being so attentive?”Liu-shi said coldly.
Zhen Mi didn't know how to answer, so she kept silent. Her hands were clasped together, and she was very uneasy. She wondered why Yuan Xi hadn't returned yet.
"What are you waiting for? Get me some food!" Liu-shi immediately reprimanded and ordered Zhen Mi to put food in her bowl.
Zhen Mi had always been timid. Before she got married, she had been a golden child. After marrying Yuan Xi, she had become the apple of her eye. She had always been served by others. How could she serve others?
In addition, after being scared by Liu-shi, she was like a little quail. She was about to cry. Her hand that was holding the food kept trembling and she accidentally dropped it.
"Clumsy! She was even worse than a servant girl! I wonder what's the use of marrying you?" Liu-shi did not hide her viciousness.
Zhen Mi had never been wronged like this. Her lips twitched and tears fell uncontrollably.
She thought to herself that she had been kind enough to help her mother-in-law pick up some food, but she did not expect to be scolded. She did not know what she had done wrong.
"Crying and crying. Bad luck. I'm not eating anymore!”Liu-shi threw the bowl and chopsticks heavily.
Zhen Mi was so frightened that she stood at the side and sobbed silently.
"Ahem." Liu-shi cleared her throat. Seeing Zhen Mi looking at her, she asked with a gloomy face,"
"You have to answer my questions truthfully. If I find out you're lying, I'll make Xianyi divorce you.”
"Wife wouldn't dare." Zhen Mi said weakly. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered in tears. However, she didn't dare to wipe her tears away. She could only let her tears fall from her delicate face, stinging her cheeks.
Mrs Liu turned a deaf ear to her and didn't care about Zhen Mi's grievances. It could be said that the more wronged Zhen Mi was, the more excited she was. The more unhappy Zhen Mi was, the more happy she was.
Liu-shi narrowed her foxy eyes, which were filled with resentment and pleasure. Zhen Mi was a pure and innocent girl, but the more she was stimulated, the more perverted her desire to abuse her.
"Xianyi, this child, has always paid attention to etiquette. Why is he so late to greet me? What is going on? I have to teach him a lesson some other day!”Liu-shi said in a more serious tone.
Liu-shi was trying to trick Zhen Mi. Seeing that Zhen Mi was too innocent, she wanted to find a breakthrough from her.
Zhen Mi panicked when she heard that. She was late to greet Yuan Xi because she didn't want to get out of bed, causing Yuan Xi to kowtow and apologize. Her forehead was bruised. Zhen Mi's heart ached, but she also thought that it was her fault for implicating Yuan Xi.
Hearing Liu-shi declare that she would teach Yuan Xi a lesson, she couldn't help but say,
"Mother, it's not what you think. This matter is all your wife's fault. If you want to punish me, then punish me.”Zhen Mi sobbed, wanting to plead for her husband and take the responsibility herself.
Liu-shi was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she was happy. Her eyes instantly lit up as if she had finally solved a shocking case. She immediately asked,"Speak! I knew it wasn't because of Xianyi.”
"It's because…"
"Kneel down and speak!"
Zhen Mi didn't dare to resist. She immediately knelt down. The floor of the palace was covered with cold bluestone strips, which hurt Zhen Mi's knees.
Seeing the pain on Zhen Mi's face, Liu-shi gritted her teeth and smiled. She felt indescribably happy.
"Sob... It was because I didn't want to get up in the morning that I delayed my greetings. It had nothing to do with my husband. It was all because I was too willful…Wuuuu..."
Zhen Mi lost her parents when she was young. Before she could grow up, her eldest brother, who was the pillar of the family, passed away. She was left with an older brother and four older sisters who doted on her youngest sister very much.
In addition, Zhen Mi had been very sensible since she was young. She didn't even dare to say a harsh word to Zhen Mi, let alone hit and scold her.
It could be said that Zhen Mi had suffered countless times more difficulties and grievances today than she had in the past ten years. How could the pure and kind Zhen Mi withstand such a blow?
"As expected, it's because of you, you b * tch!”
"You have no manners at all! On the first day of their marriage, she didn't put her in-laws in her eyes. She deserved to be beaten!”
Liu-shi's face was ruthless as she ordered the maid beside her,
"Someone, slap me! Let this little slut learn her lesson! I understand the rules of this house!"
The servant girls looked at each other. No matter what, Zhen Mi was still the Young Mistress of the family. They didn't have the guts to slap Zhen Mi.
"Are you all deaf? What are you afraid of with me around? Could this little slut turn the world upside down?”
"Hit him! Hit him hard!" Liu-shi slammed the table and shouted hysterically.
The servant girls looked at each other. Finally, a few of them were frightened by Lady Liu's power and surrounded Zhen Mi.
"Wuwuwu... Mother, I was wrong. Wife won't dare to do it anymore. Please don't hit me…" Zhen Mi's eyes were filled with tears. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, hoping that Liu-shi would let her go.
However, Liu-shi was not moved at all. You won't learn your lesson if you don't fight!"
Two servant girls dragged Zhen Mi up from the ground by her arms. One of the servant girls glanced at Liu-shi and was about to slap Zhen Mi's pretty face when Liu-shi nodded.
"Creak ~"
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
