Ning Shu blinked curiously at the maidservant's words.
Heh, there really was a wolf demon.
This was really strange.
Before the maidservant could continue, Mother Hui reprimanded her in a low voice, "Xiang Jin, be quiet! Have you forgotten Miss's instructions? "
The maidservant named Xiang Jin's lips seemed to be glued together. She didn't dare to continue, and the others didn't dare to interrupt either.
Ning Shu watched the undercurrent between the Qi Family's servants. She raised her eyebrows and smiled. She straightened out the non-existent creases on her robe and slowly said, "Is your young miss's advice more important, or is her life more important? At this point, your Miss's life is in danger at any time. If you still don't want to tell us the truth and block her last chance to live, then don't blame my Nanping Mansion for not caring about it. "
She finished speaking coldly and turned to leave.
Behind her, Imperial Concubine Qi's expression was tense. If the Nanping Mansion really ignored it, didn't that mean that this marriage alliance might also fall through? Thinking of this, Imperial Concubine Qi frowned and said coldly, "What's the matter with that wolf demon? Hurry up and tell us the truth! "
Ning Shu stopped in her tracks.
Since Imperial Concubine Qi had spoken, the maidservants couldn't hide it anymore. The maidservant named Xiang Jin knelt on the ground and reported truthfully, "Reporting to everyone, it's … like this. Nine years ago, when my Miss was seven years old, she went out to play and happened to meet a vaudeville troupe. She saw a strange beast in the troupe. It looked very strange and was about the size of an eight or nine-year-old child. It was covered in spikes and wolf fur. It looked a bit like a wolf, but not completely like one. It seemed like a century-old wolf demon that had cultivated into a spirit. That monster was very smart. Not only could it understand the human language, but it could also write a few simple words. The words it wrote were all auspicious words that made people happy. My Miss was young at that time and took a fancy to it at first sight. She, she teased it for a while … "
Ning Shu asked, "What kind of teasing?"
"Nothing more than making it kneel and kowtow … That monster was very obedient and did all of it. The Young Miss was very happy and wanted to ride on its body. She wanted to try out the story of riding a monster and soaring into the sky. However, she didn't expect that after riding on the monster for a few steps, the monster's strength would be exhausted. Its knees went soft, causing my young miss to fall heavily to the ground. A large chunk of her chin was knocked out. My family's young mistress was so angry that she cried loudly. She was afraid that she would be disfigured, so … "
Ning Shu asked again, "So what? You killed it? "
Shuddering, Xiang Jin swallowed and said with difficulty, "Yes … Miss was so angry that she ordered a few servants to put the monster into a sack and beat it to death with an iron rod …"
The monster knelt on the ground and trembled. It slammed its forehead on the ground and kowtowed to Qi Juanyu to admit its mistake. However, Qi Juanyu's heart was not softened even after dozens of begging. She waved her small hand and the servants behind her caught the monster and put it into the sack.
The maidservant could still recall the bloody scene at that time. The iron rod had only swung down a dozen times, and bright red blood had seeped out of the dirty sack. The thing in the sack had constantly dodged and twitched, but where could it escape to? Miserable howls kept coming out of the sack. Woo woo … woo woo … It was like a child who did not know how to speak yet. It was doing its best to beg for mercy.
However, it did not expect that Qi Juanyu was so angry. The more sorrowful its cries were, the happier Qi Juanyu would be and she would beat it harder. Not long after, the thing in the sack let out a final humming sound and stopped moving.
She was the one who took the initiative to tease the monster. Later, she fell from the monster's back and got injured. However, she took out her anger on the monster and destroyed a creature. Ning Shu did not agree with this. She frowned unhappily, "And then? What did your Miss do with the monster? "
Xiang Jin's voice was even softer, "After killing it, Miss did not take it to heart. She casually threw a silver ingot to the juggler and left. The carriage dragged the bloody sack along the street for an entire journey. Only then did Miss completely calm down. She ordered the servants to throw the sack on the side of the road and took us back to the residence. "Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
When the maidservant finished her story, the surrounding people did not know how to react. They only felt their hair stand on end.
Ning Shu finally understood. She had done such a cruel thing at such a young age. No wonder Qi Zhanyu had never dared to speak of it. Anyone who heard it would think that she was cruel, bloodthirsty, and repulsive, let alone continue to be her future Princess Consort.
