I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 87 The Lady is Here

After hearing this, Xie Fei felt that it was possible for Xiao Shirong to ask this question.

But she is not the head of the family, so can she still make the decision?

Xie Fei asked, "So what are you going to do?"

Mother Liu said, "Everyone has seen it. The more than ten taels of silver we got from selling bear meat are still well hidden. Let's each take out some silver and make up the annual rent."

Unlike other villages, this village is small and has no tenants.

They are all long-term workers on the farm, and most of them are not locals. They have nowhere else to go except to stay on the farm.

So no matter what, you have to stay in the manor. At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and you can get a monthly salary, which is guaranteed to bring you income regardless of drought or flood.

What Mother Liu was worried about was that the damage to the house was too serious. If the Pei family wanted to punish her for failing to protect it, that would be a big trouble.

Xie Fei said: "Our lady shouldn't have the energy to take care of these things. As long as the annual rent is paid, she..."

Before he finished speaking, Erniu came running over.

"Oh no, my dear, Aunt Liu, the mistress of the Pei residence is here!"

Mother Liu and Xie Fei looked at each other in shock.

Who is coming?
This farm is the smallest and least noticeable one among all the farms in Pei Mansion.

No one, including Xie Fei, expected that Xiao Shirong would come in person.

You should know that Zhuangzi is located in the suburbs, at the foot of the mountain, and the road leading to the village is bumpy and winding.

Whether it is a carriage or a sedan chair, it can make people vomit acid.

However, the spoiled and extremely noble Madam Xiao actually came to the farm in a haughty manner with a large number of servants.

Except for those who were seriously injured and unable to move, the rest of the people rushed to the outside of the village in a panic and knelt on the ground in a mess.

Xiao Shirong's sedan chair landed, and Mother Tang lifted the curtain and helped her out.

Outside, Xie Fei bowed and said, "Greetings to Madam Xie."

Xiao Shirong was exhausted from all the walking. When she saw the sedan bearers slipping and stumbling, she went crazy.

But in front of everyone, I can only pretend that nothing is wrong.

She looked down at everyone, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

What a dirty, ugly bunch of untouchables who reek of dirt.

If she hadn't wanted to bring down Xie Fei, she would never have come to such a vile place.

After calming down, Xiao Shirong said, "Everyone, get up."

Xie Fei stood up, and the people behind him also stood up and stood on both sides.

Mother Tang supported Xiao Shirong as she walked towards the village, saying, "Madam, please be careful on the steps."

Xiao Shirong came here for the first time. He looked around with a frown on his face.

This place is so small and shabby. It is hard to imagine that Xie Fei, a concubine, could stay here for several months.

Once inside, Xiao Shirong was even more disgusted, as if the dirt on the ground was dirtier than feces and it was difficult to step foot.

Seeing this, Mother Tang whispered, "Madam, how about we go back?"

Xiao Shirong covered her nose and said coldly, "I'm already here."

Mother Liu led the way and took Xiao Shirong to the main hall.

The so-called main hall is actually a larger main room with a table, two chairs, and a lot of miscellaneous items.

Shui Huaiyu and Madam Zou were cleaning. When they saw someone coming, they knelt down to greet them.

Xiao Shirong reached the door, but didn't want to step in.

Madam Liu said, "Please forgive me, Madam. Our farm has been attacked by bandits and we haven't had time to clean up the mess yet. Why don't you go to town and have a cup of tea first? We'll pick you up after we've cleaned up the mess."

Xiao Shirong's face turned pale, and she felt like vomiting because of the earthy smell that filled her nostrils. But when she saw Xie Fei next to her, she had to endure it.

"No need, I'm here for something important, I'll leave after I finish it."

Then, Xiao Shirong came into the room and sat down at the table.

This stool is cold and hard, and there's not even a piece of cloth on it!
Xiao Shirong gradually became angry and glared at Xie Fei fiercely.

Xie Fei pretended to be well-behaved and smiled innocently at Xiao Shirong.

Xiao Shirong suddenly became even angrier.

As soon as they sat down, Fu Yu brought the teapot and teacup over and filled them for Xiao Shirong.

Xie Fei stepped forward and held the tea bowl in front of Xiao Shirong, "Madam, please have some tea."

Xiao Shirong lowered his eyes and took a look.

The tea bowl was not broken, but there was a yellowing mark around the edge, and the tea soup was light, full of broken tea leaves and tea stems, without even a hint of fragrance.

There's no way you can drink it.

Xiao Shirong refused to even take the tea bowl, and only said, "Thank you, sister. The people in the village are so rude. Do you think I should be punished?"

Xie Fei was puzzled and asked, "I wonder how the manor neglected the lady?"

Xiao Shirong gestured to the tea bowl, "How dare you bring something so filthy to me?"

Xie Fei explained: "Madam, you misunderstood. The bandits came to the village and ransacked everything. Not only the pots and pans, but even the walls and roofs were not spared. This tea bowl was dug out of the mud and is the most intact one."

Xiao Shirong: “…”

I feel like vomiting even more.

She did not doubt Xie Fei's words. After all, the horse bandits were indeed fierce and had destroyed the village like ruins.

But even these horse bandits couldn't kill Xie Fei, which showed that this man was so tough that he could kill at least eight men.

Xiao Shirong didn't drink the tea, nor did she let Xie Fei put down the tea bowl. She just talked about irrelevant things.

The tea was scalding hot, and seeing that she didn't want to take it, Xie Fei put the bowl on the table with a bang.

Xiao Shirong's eyes widened.

She didn't ask him to let it go, so how could this person let it go?
The Xie family is a noble family after all, how could they raise such an ignorant person!
Xiao Shirong was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't make trouble in front of everyone, for fear of being accused of being petty.

She wanted to finish the work quickly so that she could go back to Pei Mansion, so she slammed the table.

"Bold Xie, do you admit your guilt?"

The lady got angry and everyone in the yard outside knelt down.

Xie Fei said: "I don't know where I went wrong, please tell me clearly, Madam."

Xiao Shirong said angrily: "You have committed such a shameless act, and you still dare to ask me to speak? If you still have a trace of dignity, you should ask to go to the Buddhist temple to become a monk, so that the Pei Mansion and the Xie Family will not be disgraced because of you!"

Xie Fei was surprised and said, "I really don't know what I did wrong, why did it involve becoming a monk?"

The old lady loves to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, but she is a person who is greedy for money, sex and freedom. Even if she is heartbroken, she will never become a nun.

Xiao Shirong said, "You are so stubborn! I didn't want to expose the matter for the sake of sisterhood, so as not to embarrass you. But now that you are pretending to be crazy and stupid, I have no choice but to deal with it impartially!"

After that, she slammed the table and shouted, "Someone come!"

Everyone looked outside the yard at once. It seemed that Sun had been waiting outside for a long time. When she heard the shouting, she hurried in.

She knelt hurriedly in the yard and kowtowed, saying, "I am Sun, the servant, and I greet the Madam."

Xie Fei frowned and asked, "Madam, what's going on?"

Xiao Shirong said coldly, "The other day, bandits attacked the village, and you were gang-raped by the men, and you lost your innocence. Afterwards, you bribed the villagers with money and property, asking them to keep the secret for you. Little did you know that the Sun family couldn't stand your behavior and came to inform on you long ago!"
