Xu Jianchen’s little face looked embarrassed from the compliments. “D-do… do you need more water?” That shadow guard looked tall and handsome. He was also a sweet talker and very likable.

Zui Ying nodded. “Sorry to have to trouble you to fetch several more buckets of water. I’m boiling!”

“Mhm, no problem.” Xu Jianchen sent Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai out to fetch water again.

After Xu Ziling finished eating, she returned to her courtyard.

“Young Lady,” cried two servants who were slightly shivering.

Xu Ziling furrowed her brows and walked right into the room. To her surprise, she stepped right into the water. “Ah! Who did this? Who got my room all wet?”

Xu Ziling’s fists and jaw were tightly clenched. She looked furious.

Still in the room, Xu Jianchen had heard what Xu Ziling said and his body started to stiffen. Just then, he turned around and was immediately about to lead Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to escape out of the window.

Xu Ziling immediately walked over to the window, fuming as she grabbed Xu Jianchen by the collar. “Xu Jianchen, you have quite some nerve! You dare get my room covered in water? Watch me teach you a good lesson!” She said through gritted teeth.

With a terrified look on his face, Xu Jianchen raised his leg and tried to kick Xu Ziling in the stomach.

Xu Ziling got seriously mad and dodged the attack. She pulled Xu Jianchen down from the window, then slammed him down into the puddle.

“Ah! That hurts!” Xu Jianchen furrowed his brows and reached his hand out to rub his back.

Xu Ziling walked angrily over to him and stomped on Xu Jianchen’s stomach. “Apologise to me, quick! Also, drink all of the water clean from my room!” She said furiously through gritted teeth.

Xu Jianchen’s brows suddenly furrowed outward and he spoke with a slightly choked up voice. “You’re bullying me! I’m going to tell Mother!”

“Hmph! Do you think that I’d be afraid that you’ll tell on me? Go on and tell on me! By then, I’ll get Mother to send you to the barracks for punishment! Let’s see who mother will listen to?” Xu Ziling put two hands on her hips, determined to teach Xu Jianchen a lesson.

Zui Ying simply couldn’t watch any longer and yelled furiously. “Wretched woman! Don’t bully your little brother. He didn’t do anything wrong. You’re the one in the wrong!”

Xu Ziling stomped harder and was even more vicious towards Xu Jianchen. “Hurry up and drink all the water on the floor!”

Xu Jianchen reached his arm out to grab Xu Ziling’s leg and struggled harder. However, he couldn’t help but cry from the unbearable pain in his stomach. “Hurry and move your foot away. You’re going to damage my stomach with your foot!”

“Hmph! Hell no! Unless you drink all the water from the floor!” Xu Ziling looked like a tigress on the prowl.

“Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai! What are you both doing just standing there? Hurry up and save me!” Roared Xu Jianchen.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai pursed their lips in fear and glanced at Xu Jianchen. Then, they immediately grabbed Xu Ziling’s leg and raised it up high.

Xu Jianchen took the opportunity to crawl under Xu Ziling’s leg and quickly leap out the window.

“Fools let go of my leg!” Xu Ziling struggled non-stop and forcefully beat Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai with both hands.

When Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei saw Xu Jianchen leave, they immediately let go of Xu Ziling’s leg, then quickly turned around and fled.

Xu Ziling watched the three of them escape through the window and unleashed a sinister glow from her eyes. “Xu Jianchen, just you wait and see!”

Xu Jianchen escaped Xu Ziling’s courtyard, beating his chest. “Holy crap! She scared me to death! That tigress is truly terrifying!”

“How can I steal the keys from that tigress?” He mumbled, whilst he stroked his chin and furrowed his brows.

Xu Jianchen thought things over, as he headed over to his own courtyard.
