Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
03. Dinner
The Night of his Day.
Tok
The barn door was violently knocked and not there before it was opened without permission.
"Hey ! Here's your clothes and don't embarrass the mayor's house ! The host invites you to have a meal with the Crown Prince. " Said the waiter insolently.
"Ck, is this how the waiter treats their lady ? You guys really don't have manners. " Say her lightly while staring at the clothes between you.
"What do you mean ?! Don't dream ! You look a little different than usual. " The servant's ejek.
"I look like I've outgrown the mayor's residence, this cloth is even uglier than your clothes. " Say him calmly.
Whooo !
He picked up the rope and whipped the servant's back firmly. The servant was forced to fall to his knees before him.
"A what are you doing?" Ask the waiter nervously.
"I ? Call me second lady !" Say it in a low tone before whipping the servant again.
"No second lady, please don't whip me again. I'm sure I'll change your clothes for the better, please take me off. I promise I won't tell this to the hostess. " Said the waiter with a pitiful face.
He floated one more lash that made the maid fall face down.
"You, take off your clothes and change them with this one you're carrying. " Say him calmly.
"Good, fine. " The servant immediately changed his clothes with worn clothes that would be given to him.
"Now you can go. " Say her with a slanted smile behind her veil.
"Good thanks so much, second lady !" The waiter said before running out.
"There will be a fee to play with me. Where better I do it from ?" Her muttering.
On the other hand, the servant who had been whipped by Xue Fenghuang ran around in worn clothes towards the residence of Lin Yi, the hostess.
"Mrs ! Madam ! You must give me justice !" The servant said with a face filled with tears.
"What happened to you ?" Ask Madam Lin.
"That damn girl ! Xue Fenghuang did this to me !"The servant said with a sobbing cry.
"What ?! I'll find you to give you justice. " Said Madam Lin excitedly as she found an opportunity to take down Xue Fenghuang in front of the City Lord, Xue Longque.
At Xue Fenghuang's place, the girl was quietly sowing poison in the food that would be served to the crown prince including with her as well.
His body was immune to that poison now and the poison would no longer function against his body.
He returned to his room and sat quietly as if he was waiting for a guest who was waiting for him.
Brakkk
The door was kicked and pointed at a middle-aged man who was followed by a woman with a girl.
It was Xue Longque, Lin Yi and the servant earlier.
"Master and Lady Mayor, I didn't expect that you would come. Sorry for not being able to give a good meal, you should be able to see that my own condition is not good. " Talk her with a pathetic temple while giving a subtle insinuation.
"This servant ? Lord Mayor, you should be aware that the clothes used by him are mine, right ? That I will use later tonight according to the one prepared by the hostess. " Speak slowly but full of traps.
"You!-" the servant's words were cut off by Xue Longque's snaps.
"Shut up ! I didn't tell you to talk !" The servant instantly turned deathly pale when snapped like that.
"Continue saying you. " Xue Longque said to him.
"He grabbed the clothes after that, I was even pushed to the wall. I don't have the strength, he took my clothes I've been sincere even he intends to slander me too. It's so cruel, no matter how I know he's jealous of the clothes he's given me." Her words sharply.
"Who did you say was envious ?! I'm not jealous of you !" The waiter shouted furiously.
"How could you not envy me ? Even though I am in the process of being sentenced by the Mayor, I am still a second miss of this residence. It must be that my clothes still have better quality than the maid's clothes, isn't that so Madam ?" Ask her while throwing responsibility at the hostess.
Lin Yi, the Madam of the residence looked deathly pale as she asked about it before quickly answering.
"Yes, of course ! The servant knows not himself ! Already stole the second miss's clothes, even slandering her !" The hostess said hurriedly wronged her servant.
"Again, you said if I hurt you. Where's the evidence ?"Ask her with a hurt face.
When the maid was about to reply, the hostess gave a strong slap at her maid.
"You will be punished with 30 lashes !" The hostess said loudly.
"Master of the City, isn't that a bit unfair ? He made two mistakes: stealing and slandering members of your family. How is it possible only in the law of 30 lashes ? It is possible that this will happen in the future if allowed with a mild punishment. According to the rules of the residence if I'm not mistaken, then this servant should be given the death penalty, right ?" He asked Xue Longque who had been silent since.
"You're right, I'm going to sentence this man to death. Lin Yi, prepared new clothes that were more worthy of Xue Fenghuang and prepared for people to put on her makeup. " The Order of the Lord Mayor.
Lin Yi looked surprised and immediately obediently left the place.
"Fenghuang, I will prepare a new place for you. You look so much like your mother now, I'm sorry for abandoning you. " Xue Longque said with a complicated look.
"What are you talking about, Lord Mayor ? I've always lived well, but it would be better if you gave me a more beautiful place to live. " Speak it softly.
"Just calm down, I will immediately prepare the Lotus pavilion which is the place of your late mother. " Xue Longque said with an unreadable look and immediately walked away.
He remained standing in his place and only gave a cold snort.
"You're sorry ? It's too late ! Xue Fenghuang has died from the cold by your legitimate wife. Your mistake and her mother made her suffer, you treated Consort An like gold and dumped your daughter with Consort An like trash. What punishment should I give to someone like this ?" He muttered while looking at the stars.
He entered and sat down with various thoughts raging within his mind. He felt himself wanting to cheer when Xue Longque said those words softly.
It was not his self or rather his natural reaction of the original body owner as it was always in the snapping by his father for life even until he died.
"Would that concern be yourself with someone's affection ? I can even live without that affection you crave. " Speak it out loud.
Not long ago came some servants who changed their clothes. Her hair was tidy and she was beautifully dressed.
"Second lady, can you open your veil first ?" Asked the old woman next to him doubtfully.
"No, you're an ornamental that's not covered in a veil. " Take it cold.
It's still not time for everyone to know that the wound on his face has healed. It will make the enemy alert.
She gracefully walked out towards the dining hall, grinning behind her veil.
"There will be a big show. " That murmur.
