Chapter 931: What Is Inside This Bottle?
When Dou Xiangling arrived at the Count’s Mansion, sure enough, the first thing Ian did was to get the butler to gather all the servants and introduce Dou Xiangling to them.
“Xiangling will be my wife and she is also the future Countess. If you dare to disobey her, don’t blame me for using the family rules to discipline you.”
No matter if the maids had any hidden thoughts or not, all of them bowed their heads and replied, “Yes.”
Subsequently, they greeted Dou Xiangling. “Young Madam, h.e.l.lo.”
!!
“h.e.l.lo.” Dou Xiangling appeared gentle and soft at ordinary times. However, she had put on a dignified expression and it made her look somewhat domineering.
Dou Zerui who was standing by the side finally breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of this.
He then whispered to Little Loli, “I was worried that Xiangling is too soft-tempered to take charge of the situation and that the maids in the Count’s Mansion would think that she’s an easy target.”
Little Loli giggled and said, “Don’t worry. Xiangling has been in contact with my Sister for so long and I’m sure she has learned a little bit about how Sister scares people. It shouldn’t be a problem to frighten these maids a little.”
Dou Zerui laughed and said, “Even though what you said isn’t wrong, why am I even more worried that she would get bullied in the future?”
“How can that possibly happen?!” Little Loli said confidently, “Today, I’ll help Cousin Xiangling clean up those people who don’t know the rules and see if they dare to bully her later.”
Dou Zerui’s worries soon came true.
Ian still had to make arrangements for the dinner banquet and Dou Zerui went to help out. Dou Xiangling and Little Loli headed to Ian’s house. As soon as Little Loli started helping Dou Xiangling comb her hair, they heard a maid’s voice from outside the door. “Young Madam, the Madam sent over some jewelry.”
Little Loli put down the comb, walked over to open the door, and looked at the maid standing outside. She asked, “Where’s the jewelry?”
“It’s downstairs.”
Ian lived in a separate building and the bedroom was on the second floor.
Little Loli turned around and asked Dou Xiangling, “Do you want to accept it?”
Dou Xiangling thought about it for a moment and stood up to make her way to the door. “I’ll go down and have a look.”
No matter if she accepted it or not, she still had to show basic courtesy.
Little Loli nodded her head and both of them made their way downstairs together.
The maid who pa.s.sed on the words did not follow them. She waited for Dou Xiangling and Little Loli to disappear at the end of the corridor before she quickly made her way inside the bedroom. She directly headed for the dress Dou Xiangling would be wearing tonight and at the same time, she took out a medicine bottle from her pockets.
When she was in close proximity to the dress, she opened the medicine bottle and was about to pour the liquid onto the clothes.
However, just as she lifted her hand, her wrist was caught by a hand that suddenly appeared.
Subsequently, a giggling sound was heard. “What are you doing~”
The maid’s face turned pale from fright. Her body trembled and she tried to justify her actions. She then heard an inquiring voice from behind her. “What’s inside this bottle~”
The laughter was supposedly as sweet as a bell, but when the sound entered the maid’s ears, she was nearly scared s.h.i.+tless.
“I… I…”
Just then, the maid turned around and discovered that it was the young child that had come together with Dou Xiangling. She suddenly became bold and stopped trembling as she raised her voice. “Let go of me. This bottle is a fragrance bottle and pouring it on clothes would make them smell extremely fragrant.”
“Is that so?” Little Loli s.n.a.t.c.hed the bottle from her hand. Without saying anything else, she poured it on the maid.
“AH! What are you doing?”
“Didn’t you say this was a fragrance bottle? Cousin Xiangling doesn’t like pouring these types of things on her clothes. I’ll just gift it to you then.”
“No… no…”
The maid desperately tried to pull out her hand from Little Loli’s grip while her other hand went to block the incoming pouring bottle.
However, she did not expect that this little girl who looked like a Little Loli would have such strength.
She struggled hard and heard the sound of her bones cracking. Following that, pain overwhelmed her body starting from her wrist.
“Ah! It hurts… wuuuu…”
“You’re really fragile. Sigh, this won’t do… How dare you try scheming against Cousin Xiangling!”
Little Loli looked at her with a disgusted face and threw her to the side.
The maid was flung away and she fell to the ground while whining in pain as she clutched her hand. After crying for some time, her body started to flail around. Her non-fractured hand started scratching all over her body as if she had lice all over herself.
“Cousin Xiangling, look. She was trying to pour itching liquid on your clothes. I bet it’s to let you make a fool out of yourself at the dinner banquet!”
As soon as Little Loli said that, Dou Xiangling came in from outside. She looked at the maid who kept scratching her body and asked in a cold voice, “Who ordered you to do this?”
The maid remained silent and continued scratching herself.
Little Loli sneered. “It’s no use asking this person if she doesn’t listen to you. Why don’t I have fun with her instead?”
Having said that, Little Loli also took out a bottle.
The maid got a fright and her complexion drastically changed at the sight of it. She asked while her lips were trembling, “You… What are you trying to do?”
“Of course, it’s to show you the medicine that is used to take care of people like you.”
While saying that, Little Loli opened the cap.
“Ahhh… don’t come over! Don’t come over!”
“Hmph… when you were trying to harm my Cousin, didn’t you ever think of the consequences?”
Little Loli was saying the cruelest things with her loli face. “This type of medicine can make your body fester in half a day. Weren’t you trying to harm my cousin? In that case, I’ll make it so that you can never have the ability to harm others in the future.”
“N-n-noo! AHHH.”
Little Loli did not mean it as a joke. Having said that, she poured the liquid on the maid, and at the same time, she stepped on her body to prevent the maid from escaping.
“AHHH-”
BANG!
Looking at the maid who had fainted due to fright, Little Loli put away the bottle with disinterest and said disappointedly, “What a scaredy cat and to think she still dared to do bad things. I still have so many other methods I have yet to reveal .”
Dou Xiangling who stood there and witnessed the whole scene of how Little Loli took care of the maid was in a complicated mood.
Just then, Little Loli who put away the medicine bottle suddenly turned around and revealed a sweet smile in front of Dou Xiangling. She looked so adorable. “Sister, we can go down and take care of the others~”
Both of them were halfway down the stairs when Little Loli discovered that the maid was not tagging along behind them. And so, the both of them made a detour.
Dou Xiangling also managed to guess that those people downstairs did not come here with good intentions. Her expression turned cold and she nodded her head before they headed downstairs.
The maids downstairs had waited for some time. When they saw that Dou Xiangling had yet to come down, some of them started to mutter and unhappily said, “How dare she make us wait for so long?! How is such a woman worthy of Young Master Ian?!”
“That’s right. What kind of status does Young Master Ian have? She’s only a foreign commoner and what rights does she have to marry into the Count Family and become the future Countess?”
The ones speaking were two young maids. They followed the Countess to the Count’s Mansion. They did not treat others as their equals and at the same time, they were delusional about becoming the madam here.
However, the middle-aged woman standing next to them was considerably calmer and she reprimanded them. “Talk less. In any case, she’s still the future Countess, and so don’t let her hear you.”
