Cold Blooded Wife

16 Trap (2)

Broken tea cups and pot scattered across the floor. The servants didn't dare to speak as they held their heads down. They were too afraid of offending the Madam.

"Xingxie!" Madam Wu knocked a vase over.
Her blood was boiling from anger.

No one would dare approach her when she was in this frenzy state.

The whole room was trashed but not one person moved to clean it up otherwise they would be a victim of the furious Madam.

"I'll kill you!" Madam Wu shouted throwing a random object, hitting one of her servants.
The servant didn't dodge as it hit her on the face. The wound on her cheek was better to take in than what the Madam would do if she had avoided the throw.

After more tantrum, Madam Wu finally calmed herself down. Taking deep breaths, she returned to her composed self.

"Someone! Come clean this up." She called before sitting back down on her seat.

When she was truly angry, the Madam always threw a fit before her servants. She didn't care because they wouldn't dare cross her. If there were any rumours leaked, all the servants who saw her would be silenced by death.

She had been upset because of what happened today. Then, when she tried to see Wu Yunxia, Master Wu refused to let her and stationed guards at his chambers to block anyone. Those who tried to go in other than the servants bringing food would be severely punished.

Madam Wu blamed Xingxie for all the misfortunes. So, she came up with a way to get rid of the girl.

***
Grabbing a rope from her sleeves, the maid tied Wu Xingxie's arms.

She knew Madam had told most of the servants and guards to clear out the way to her chambers so no one would catch her in the act.

Pointing a knife at Wu Xingxie, she arrogantly ordered,

"Let's go!"

The maid believed she had succeeded in kidnapping Wu Xingxie but that was her foolish thoughts.

Wu Xingxie followed along, and when they were half way to Madam Wu's chambers, she started screaming for help.

"Help! This maid is trying to kill me!"

The maid stopped and looked around for other people.

When she saw no one was there, she pressed the knife closer to Wu Xingxie's back.

"No one is here to help you. The Madam already ordered the servants to clear out the way."

"Is that so?" Wu Xingxie wasn't scared of this maid.

As she asked this, Yuyan, who had been tailing along sneaked up to the maid and pushed her away from the Eldest Miss.

"You dare to harm my Eldest Miss? I'll kill you!" The girl exclaimed and tackled the older maid on the ground. The knife she was holding fell out of her hands as Yuyan squeezed her arms tightly.

"Help! This girl dares to harm the Eldest Miss!" Yuyan shouted, louder than when Xingxie had yelled.

Actually, Xingxie didn't yell loudly on purpose so she could distract the maid.

After more shouting, many people heard and began to go to where the scream came from.

The guards were alerted and saw the Eldest Miss tied up. Her maid was on top of another maid who seemed to be the attacker.

Everyone was confused by the scene.

"What are you doing? Hurry and detain this wench!" Yuyan reminded the guards. At her commands, the guards pointed their weapons at the maid who Yuyan was holding down.

The maid had already begun to cry. Madam Wu said she wouldn't be caught no matter what. Now, the guards were aiming their swords at her.

"What's going on?" One of the male servants questioned.

"That wench tried to kidnap the Eldest Miss but thankfully she's caught." Yuyan explained. Since they didn't know why the maid would do such a thing, they figured it was out of envy.

"Eldest Miss, should we inform the Master?" One of the guards asked as he untied the rope on Xingxie. His voice was deep but very pleasant to the ear and he seemed to be in his early twenties.

He was one of the most skilled guards in the manor. He was also very popular among the female servants and even the nannies.

Wu Xingxie hadn't seen him in person before so she didn't know his identity.

The guard wore the same uniform like the others but he had a jade pendant on his belt. The jade was only given to those who had accompanied the Master in war as he was a general. Since the country was not at war, they were stationed in the manor.
The most prominent feature was a beauty mark under his right eye, Xingxie noticed.

She looked down at the foolish maid.

Don't blame me for being cruel.

"Don't let father know. I don't want him to worry about me. Take this maid and have her caned 200 times until she confesses who ordered her."
