Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 253: Revenge of the Thieves
On her birthday, the Little Traitor actually wrote her so many promises and followed her every word. When he had conflicts with the heroine, he stood by her side.
This time, it’s settled.
Huanhuan was also touched by her delicate smile and went along with her words, saying, "Yes, yes."
After they put the ladder back in its original hiding place, each sneaked back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, news spread that a thief broke into Liu Mansion and injured a concubine-born daughter.
Old Master Liu flew into a rage, scolding several guards and punishing them with beatings before he calmed down a bit.
Looking at his injured daughter, her face bruised and pitiable, he found her unsightly and ugly. He instructed his concubine to take good care of her, allowing her to take any medicine from the storeroom before leaving the room.
Last night, when she attacked, Ye Zhi held back, not daring to hit too hard, just casually hitting a bit.
But Huanhuan wasn’t casual about it; she was quite ruthless when she started.
Second Madam Liu, whose real name is Ye Qian, came from a humble background. Hoping to rise above her class, she married into the Liu Family’s Eldest Young Master, willingly becoming a concubine, believing she could give birth to a son and gain honor through her child.
She still remembered during her pregnancy, her husband’s expectations, even naming early: "Admiring Xi at the red cliff, leaning down to bathe in green waters, hence the name Xi, let’s call our child Liu Xi. Qianqian, our child will be named this."
Later, after ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a daughter.
No longer Liu Xi, but renamed Liu Qingxi.
Ye Qian maintained her fair skin, with few wrinkles, slightly red eyes, and a gaze that had lost its youthful shine.
Over the years, there had been countless overt and covert struggles with the main family.
To prevent her daughter from following her old path, to gain more respect in the mansion, to make her husband pay more attention to her rather than to other concubines.
She strictly demanded her daughter to learn embroidery, practice calligraphy, and learn etiquette.
To interact more with noble families and always display her gentle side.
Her goal was for her daughter to become a proper lady, tolerating no mistake.
She even considered having a second child, sought a small statuette of the Child-Giving Guanyin at Longhua Temple, and secretly placed it at the bedside during intercourse with her husband.
Last night, the thief who broke into Liu Mansion stole nothing, but specifically entered to beat her daughter!
Rather than saying it was a theft, it was revenge.
Ye Qian glared angrily at her daughter and harshly said, "Tell me, did you hold grudges with anyone outside? Why didn’t they steal anything, but specifically beat you? Do you think everyone is a fool? It must be that you held grudges outside, and the thief came in the middle of the night."
"Mother, I..."
Ye Qian didn’t listen to her explanation, her eyes turning to the direction her husband just left, staring blankly: "It must be that you held grudges, suffered revenge from thieves, that’s why the Old Master just acted so cold. Told you to offend fewer people normally, to marry into noble families, so that I, the second wife, could hold my head high against the main family. But what have you done? Now everyone in the mansion knows that I, Second Madam Liu, failed in teaching my daughter, letting someone come in the middle of the night to beat her."
The tone was full of disappointment.
If it were just a simple scolding, it would be fine, but Liu Qingxi knew that if she didn’t defend herself, her mother would punish her again.
"Mother, last night, I ran into the thieves entering the mansion to steal. In a moment of panic, I shouted loudly. Those two thieves acted quickly, subduing me and beating me, but fearing drawing people to the scene, they quickly fled. The people in the mansion won’t gossip recklessly, don’t worry mother."
