What to say, the fate of being an anger-release punching bag is a tragic one. No sooner after the maidservant was kicked out, two young girls dressed to the nines[1] came, bringing a group of maidservants with them. From the look at it, Zhu WuXin can somewhat guess who came.
The elder sister, Zhu JiXiang cynically[2] said, “Yo, sister. I heard about the inn you went to yesterday. Apparently, in one night all people were completely wiped out in a killing spree. Your life is really quite big, to be still alive to come back.”
Then, pretending to be scared she pats the the one beside her continuing, “Sister Lan, you have no idea. I heard that the killer is very powerful. Everyone onsite were killed by just one hit. Not sure how our sister WuXin managed to escape. Really capable ah.”
Zhu JiLan whose physique looked slightly smaller said, “Elder sister, do you think it’s because she is too ugly, that even the killer doesn’t have the desire to kill after seeing her?”
Zhu JiXiang and the group of maidservants behind her laughed out loud, “In my opinion, it most probably because the killer vomited as soon as he saw her, that WuXin have the chance to escape.”
Zhu WuXin helplessly watched them ‘sing duet’, are these two terribly free? They just have to choose a time like this to pick a fight. She strongly felt if they don’t go away, she will not be able to rest. Immediately rose from her bed, she sarcastically replied with cold words[3], “Which one of your eyes see me as ugly?”
“What did you said?” Zhu JiLan suddenly raised her voice. She couldn’t believe that Zhu WuXin would retorted back. Surprised, she turned to look at Zhu JiXiang.
“Age so young already deaf?”
WuXin shrugged, “I say, I am beautiful that it is too obvious. If someone can’t see that, that means their eyes have problem. If have problem, then should quickly go and treat it. Why waste time spouting nonsense here ah.”
“You…..”
Zhu Jilan rushed towards WuXin, trying to give her a slap but her hand was caught by Zhu WuXin. People who is sick have bad temper, WuXin coldly glanced at Zhu JiXiang.
“If there are nothing important, all of you please go back. I’m busy, I have no time to attend to you all.”
Zhu JiLan still wanted to say something, but Zhu JiXiang opened her mouth first, “Sister Lan, let’s go. It seems sister WuXin needs a good rest, we will come back next time to see her again.”
After saying that, she give a glance at WuXin and turned to leave. Down the hallway, Zhu JiXiang said to Zhu Jilan quizzically, “Did you find WuXin a bit different from usual?”
