Chapter 579 Two Fighting Old Maids
There were tall trees and curved paths. Maple leaves were as beautiful as flowers, slowly falling from the trees.
The scenery in front of her was extremely beautiful. Even though Shao Wanru was full of thoughts, she had to admire that this maple forest was not inferior to the garden where thousands of beautiful flowers were in full bloom in spring and that it was even more amazing in some aspects.
They walked slowly on the curved path. In this quiet forest, they suddenly heard the noise of people coming from behind them. Then two old maids appeared in their sight. One was running and the other was chasing. The one behind seemed to be holding something in her hand and was going to throw it to the old maid in front of her.
The old maid in front was very flexible. She made turns from time to time and did not run in a straight line. Even if the old maid behind threw out something, it was impossible to hit her.
Yujie pulled Shao Wanru to the side of the road. The path was not broad, so it was easy for them to bump into Shao Wanru when running in this way.
Looking at the two old maids running over, Shao Wanru took Yujie’s hand to step back a few steps and directly stepped out of the path to make way for them. She looked coldly at the two old maids who were approaching them.
Yujie stood in front of Shao Wanru and stared at the two old maids warily.
The old maid running in front finally ran to the front of Shao Wanru and Yujie. She looked back while running, as if she didn’t notice that there was someone in front of her. She didn’t notice that she had run out of the path in a few steps and rushed straight to Yujie.
Yujie was knocked to stagger a few steps and almost fell down. She had originally stood in front of Shao Wanru, but now she fell aside, giving way to Shao Wanru behind her.
The old maid behind saw that the old maid in front threw herself at Yujie and took her aside. She was overjoyed and threw the thing in her hand out while scolding the woman behind Yujie.
Shao Wanru had already known that something terrible would happen when Yujie stumbled out. She kicked on the trunk beside her, covered her head with her hands, and fell aside heavily to the ground. A sharp pricking under her body made her couldn’t help but groan, and then she heard some sounds.
Something hot hit her leg. Fortunately, it was already autumn, so her dress was not as thin as it was in summer.
Seeing Shao Wanru fall to the ground, Yujie kicked the old maid standing in front of her to the ground like crazy, and then she slapped the old maid who was still holding her hands on the ground. She shouted anxiously, “Miss, Miss!”
She turned around and helped Shao Wanru to stand up. She reached out and patted some of the debris on Shao Wanru’s body. As soon as she patted, she screamed in pain.
“What’s this?” Shao Wanru stood still with her hands on the trunk, and her cold eyes fell on the two messy old maids.
There was something black on the lower hem of her clothes as well as on the ground where she was standing before. Yujie’s hand had been burned when she was just patting the things on her clothes. It could be seen that these things were hot, and the old maid had thrown them to her face just now.
The light veil on her face couldn’t protect her at all. With so many tiny pieces, no matter how many of them hit her face, the places where they hit would inevitably be injured.
“Miss, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I... I want to hit this b*tch. I don’t mean to smash you... It... It is the sand added to stir-fry melon seeds at the bottom... I’m afraid... afraid that... I’m afraid that the melon seeds will be over stir-fried...” The old maid struggled to get up, but she found that she couldn’t get up for the moment. The place where she was kicked by Yujie was painful. She wanted to run away as soon as she got up, because there was no one here. But now she found that she couldn’t run away at all.
“Miss, it was this old b*tch who did it. It had nothing to do with me. I... I just ran away because she had such a strong killing desire. I... I didn’t expect that this old b*tch dared to do such a thing. I... I...” The other old maid shook her hands and explained in a hurry, as she also wanted to get up and run.
She was slapped to the ground by Yujie. Her face was full of pain, but there was no problem with her legs. She rolled her eyes around and wanted to run away immediately.
She had made up her mind that there were only a Miss and a servant girl here. Even though this servant girl looked powerful, she did not dare to leave her master behind and chase after her.
However, as soon as she stood up, she sadly found that her clothes were stepped on by a foot. Looking up at Yujie’s mad eyes, she was so scared that her heart couldn’t help trembling.
Needless to say, the Misses from influential families were all delicate and weak, and they were no worse than Misses from small families. How could this servant girl be so powerful? Her kick and slap were not only quick but also powerful so that they couldn’t run away even if they wanted to. The old maid pulled hard at the hem of her clothes, but she couldn’t pull at all.
This servant girl, who seemed to be a little girl, was actually stronger than such a rough old maid, and stepped on her clothes steadily.
“Break her foot. See how she can run away!” Shao Wanru said coldly, with a trace of gloom in her eyes.
“Yes, Miss!” Yujie raised her foot and kicked hard on the leg of the old maid who was tugging at the lower hem of her clothes.
“Ah!” A miserable scream came from far away, and the other old maid was so scared that her face was as pale as snow, just like that of the old maid who had been kicked.
Shouldn’t she ask them clearly at this time? Why did this Miss ask the servant girl to kick her without saying a word?
“Tell me, what’s going on?” Shao Wanru glanced at the two old maids’ faces and said coldly!
“Miss, please forgive me. Miss, I beg for your mercy. We didn’t do it on purpose. I... I borrowed a pot from the nunnery to stir fry melon seeds, but this b*tch came to make trouble and ruined my whole pot of melon seeds. I was so angry that I ran out and held a handful of sand within a handkerchief. Miss, I really didn’t mean to do so. Please forgive me, Miss!”
The old maid who had thrown out the hot sand was the first to come to her sense. She moved slightly and knelt and kowtowed to Shao Wanru, with her face full of tears. It was unknown whether she was scared or painful.
“Miss, please forgive me. I... I just couldn’t stand the fact that this b*tch deliberately hurt my grandson before, so I disturbed her on purpose. She chased me, and I... I ran away. I didn’t expect to meet this Miss. Neither did I expect that she would grab hot sand for stir-frying melon seeds and throw it to someone. Miss, I’m really wronged. I don’t know anything!”
The other old maid also came to her sense at this time. She covered her injured leg, struggled to kneel down, and kowtowed to Shao Wanru too.
“Please forgive me, Miss!”
“Miss, please forgive me!” The two old maids cried and begged for mercy in a pitiful look. They were half kneeling and half lying on the ground. It was obvious that their condition was not good.
The shrill and miserable scream in this quiet forest just now startled many people who were enjoying the scenery. People in the distance didn’t know the direction, but those nearby could tell that it was from this direction. Someone quickened his pace and walked in this direction.
“Miss?” Shuqi also heard it. They were in the horizontal direction of Shao Wanru, not far away from her. Such a sharp scream was very clear.
Shao Yanru listened carefully with a proud look on her face. Did Shao Wanru fall into her trap? Otherwise, how could she make such a tragic cry of pain!
“Let’s go and have a look!” She turned in another direction with Shuqi and walked across the maple forest horizontally.
No matter how much she had been injured, it would be fine as long as she had been injured. Even if she was not the most seriously injured, wouldn’t there be some ointment for scalds? She had used it before, and Shao Wanru had seen that there was no scar on her hand after recovering. She would let Shao Wanru use it when she went back.
Her face made people angry, so it would be better to ruin it!
“Send them to the officials! Ask someone to find out whether someone wants to hurt me and set up this trap! I heard that the people of the Ministry of Justice are still here. Send them directly to the Ministry of Justice later!” Shao Wanru said coldly and Yujie came back to support her.
The Ministry of Justice was different from ordinary yamens. People always felt that it was difficult to leave that place after entering. If something happened on the people in the capital city, they would go to the lord mayor instead of the Ministry of Justice to report the case. At least, the lord mayor’s office was not as strict as the Ministry of Justice.
Seeing Shao Wanru’s cold and angry eyes, the two old maids were really panicked. They could have escaped, but now they had failed and would be sent to the Ministry of Justice. It seemed that this Miss was not going to give up. The two old maids looked at each other and saw real fear in each other’s eyes for the first time.
Both of them were rough old maids from the countryside and had been hired to come here. They had seen Shuqi before coming here. Shuqi said that Shao Wanru had always bullied her eldest sister and was disrespectful to her. Moreover, she had robbed her eldest sister’s courtyard in an arrogant way. She had asked two old maids to deal with Shao Wanru, and of course, she had also given them a lot of silver taels in private.
When they had been on the mountain, they had not taken action. At that time, they had originally wanted to rush down suddenly when Shao Wanru had been climbing up. They could push Shao Wanru and the servant girl down the mountain through the narrow path, and they would only need to report that Shao Wanru and her servant girl carelessly fell down the mountain. This time, they used the hot sand used for stir-fried melon seeds to ruin Shao Wanru’s face.
The two old maids were both uneducated and rough. They had not thought it would be a big deal. Anyway, they could run away after the incident, and there was no one else in the forest, so nobody would know who they were.
Unexpectedly, Yujie was so powerful that she directly knocked them down on the ground. Then Shao Wanru gave a fierce order to let the Ministry of Justice charge them with intentional injury. If they were really sent to the Ministry of Justice, it would be difficult for them to come out again. They panicked and knelt down together to beg Shao Wanru as they kowtowed.
“Miss, we really didn’t mean to do it!”
“Miss, we won’t dare to do it again! Miss, please forgive us!”
Shao Wanru looked at the two old maids coldly. She saw that their foreheads were red and broken because of kowtowing, but her heart was not softened and she didn’t say anything.
This place was not far from Shao Yanru, so she should be here soon!
Shao Yanru tried to frame her up over and over again today. Now she only needed to wait and see what she wanted to do next!
“Miss, don’t take it too serious. Since it’s a misunderstanding and they are in such a condition, forgive them and let them go!” A gentle voice came over, which made Shao Wanru and Yujie look up together!
