Chapter 1127 “Spirit Fox (7)”

The maid flew into a rage, but right as she’s about to go up to hit the girl who would disrespect herself, a raised hand had blocked the maid from moving.

“Enough, this is not a big deal anyways, why make it hard for a child?” Yun Ruo Xi extends her hand with a smile on that face as a gesture of goodwill. “Little brother, it wasn’t intentional on my end so how about we reconcile with a handshake?”

First giving a look at the outstretched hand, then at the gathered crowd of onlookers, Bai Xiachen only took a second to muse over the decision as he lowered his head in an apologetic manner.

“My mother told me that one should apologize if one did wrong so I’ll apologize. I didn’t see you and bumped into you… I thought I wouldn’t hit anyone because of how slow I was walking, but I didn’t expect….”

In other words, despite being not at fault because of his slow pace, he would still apologize since both sides held responsibility.

Going stiff in the face at being pointed out, Yun Ruo Xi shoots a warning glare to the maid behind herself before turning back to the boy with a smile: “My maid is too impolite so don’t mind her.”

“Is she your personal maid?” asked Bai Xiachen.

She didn’t understand why the boy would ask that but nodded anyway: “She is indeed my personal maid. I’ve had her by my side since I was a child.”

“Ohhhh,” nodding like he’s enlightened, “my mother said that a maid represents their master and mistress. If a maid is too arrogant then that’s the result of their master’s deliberate indulgence, and in many cases, the voice of their master because there are some words they don’t want to say in person.” That said, the little steambun then raises his head to confront Yun Ruo Xi directly in the eye. “There are no maids like that around my mother who doesn’t know what is right from wrong, don’t you understand that much?”

That made Yun Ruo Xi go from green to white, then from white to green in exasperation. It’s exactly as the boy says, she’s been indulging her maid over the years and would even use the maid to say things she herself doesn’t want to say in public. But to be exposed before the public like so, it’s making her extremely uncomfortable.

Sure enough, the gathered crowd had started to turn their heads in disappointment, especially for those who thought the lady was some clean flower instead of the tainted rose whom she was.

“I thought this lady is gentle and kind with a good character, but then again, why would she have such a nasty maid if she herself wasn’t so nasty?”

“I know right, if it wasn’t for the boy we would still be in the dark. I say, who is the boy’s mother? He’s clearly very well taught….”

The murmuring was starting to have an affect since Yun Ruo Xi had clenched her fists up. The only saving grace was the fact that no one knew who she truly was, otherwise the image she maintained for so many years would be ruined today.

“Miss, look at this boy…”

Pa!

Not going to give ammunition to the little steambun, she directly slaps the maid in the face to keep that mouth from yapping. “You be quiet! How many times have I disciplined you? If it wasn’t for your father whom I owe a debt to, do you think I would keep indulging you?”

In other words, she only turned a blind eye to the maid’s nasty nature because of a debt, not because of what Bai Xiachen said about herself.

“You bitch, I finally found you!” Just as Yun Ruo Xi was twisting the story to her own advantage and clearing herself of any taint, the old coot suddenly pounced over from the side and threw a heavy punch to her head.

Worse was that things didn’t end there. The old coot also started to pull at her hair. The more he pulled, the harder his strength became until the situation crumbled into a mess.
