Finest Servant

Chapter 55 Second Miss Xiao (Part 2)

Upon entering, they found an extremely spacious room, empty except for a small door. There was nothing else inside.

Second Miss Xiao had already walked to the small door inside the room. Seeing him boldly follow her in, she turned her head and smiled, "What, you're not afraid I'll sic another dog on you?"

Lin Wanrong looked around cautiously, not noticing anything out of the ordinary, and felt relieved. He sneered, "You've seen my skills, haven't you? I can handle not only fierce dogs, but also any kind of villain."

Second Miss Xiao's face changed, "You insolent servant, how dare you address me so casually? I am your master. Show me some respect. If it weren't for me, a servant like you wouldn't even be able to enter the Xiao family's main gate."

Lin Wanrong suddenly realized that his smooth entry into the Xiao family wasn't thanks to Old Wei, but rather to the young lady standing before him. No wonder he was able to enter even though he was late. This girl must have harbored resentment towards him for some time, going through so much trouble and even sacrificing a fierce dog just to teach him a lesson.

"So, you've been plotting against me for a while. What did I do to offend Second Miss Xiao that you would go to such lengths to deal with me?" asked Lin Wanrong.

"You're saying you didn't offend me?" Second Miss Xiao raised her eyebrows, "That day, you paraded around with my sister's portrait, shouting and selling it while uttering such frivolous words. Do you think the Xiao family is so easily bullied?"

"What a joke! What makes you think the person in that painting is your sister? Only a few people in Jinling City have seen your sister's face. Who could paint such a lifelike portrait? I didn't accuse you of framing me, but now you're interrogating me." Lin Wanrong laughed heartily, his words righteous and stern, with no hint of falsehood. The painting had been made using Lady Xiao as a model, and had nothing to do with Miss Xiao Da. If there was any connection, it was only because the mother and daughter looked so alike.

"You cunning Lin San!" The young girl's face turned red with anger, clearly at a loss for words against this lowly servant, "Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson, or else you'll think the Xiao family is easy to bully."

"Servant?" Hearing her repeatedly call him a servant, Lin Wanrong was quite unhappy. He sneered, "Second Miss Xiao, I think you're mistaken. I'm just a contract employee of the Xiao family, not a servant. The contract even has your name, Miss Xiao Yushuang, on it. If I'm displeased with you, I can leave at any time. If you want to find a servant, there are plenty in the Xiao residence. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."

After finishing his words, Lin Wanrong turned to leave. Wasn't avoiding a haughty and domineering young girl like this the best option?

He forcefully pulled the door several times, but it didn't budge. Lin Wanrong thought he wasn't using enough strength, so he tried harder, but it still wouldn't move. He then realized that Second Miss Xiao must have done something to the door.

Second Miss Xiao, Xiao Yushuang, laughed, "What, are you scared now? Without my permission, no one can leave through this door today." It turned out that there was a mechanism in the room. After Xiao Yushuang entered, she activated it, trapping Lin Wanrong inside.

It seemed this girl had been plotting for a while. However, at this point, only he and Xiao Yushuang were in the room. He had enough confidence in dealing with her, so naturally, he had nothing to fear. He smiled and said, "Whether I can leave or not doesn't really matter. With you, Second Miss Xiao, here, what do I have to be afraid of? You should be the one worried. I'm not a good person, and I have a particular preference for beautiful girls. You're alone in a room with me, so you better be careful."

Xiao Yushuang was still young and didn't fully understand relationships between men and women, but girls of this era generally matured early. She only wanted to take revenge on Lin Wanrong but forgot that by doing so, they would end up alone together, which would greatly damage her reputation as a young girl.

Her face flushed red, and she angrily gritted her teeth, "You scoundrel, I... I... I won't let you off."

Lin Wanrong looked at the girl's furious expression, finding it rather amusing. He said to Xiao Yushuang, "Second Miss Xiao, don't flatter yourself too much. Although I like beautiful women, I'm not desperate. As for you, even if someone offered me a few taels of silver, I wouldn't want an unripe fruit like you."

"You—shameless—" Xiao Yushuang yelled, simultaneously opening the small door behind her. Two dim green lights shot out from the room.

Wolf-dog! Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat.

This creature was even larger than the Mighty General that was killed that day, and the fierce light in its eyes made Lin Wanrong's hair stand on end. The wolf-dog's mouth was wrapped in red cloth, which is why Lin Wanrong hadn't heard it barking. It turned out that Xiao Yushuang had prepared it all beforehand. She had been scheming just to deal with him.

Seeing Lin Wanrong's pale face, Xiao Yushuang proudly laughed, "How about that? You didn't expect this, did you? Hehe, this is a wolf-dog I specially brought back from Suzhou. It's called General Zhenyuan and was a partner to the Mighty General. It's here to deal with you. You not only killed my Mighty General but also ate its meat. I don't think General Zhenyuan will let you off easily today."

How could this girl know that I ate dog meat? Lin Wanrong thought for a moment and realized that it must have been Uncle Fu who had informed her. No wonder he hadn't seen him in days; he must have been feeling guilty. He remembered Uncle Fu's frightened expression those days; he clearly knew how formidable Second Miss Xiao was, so he had confessed voluntarily. No wonder it took the girl several days to seek revenge; she had gone to Suzhou for reinforcements.

General Zhenyuan stared at Lin Wanrong intently, seemingly understanding that the man before him was the enemy responsible for taking the life of its "dog wife." Its eyes flashed with green light, and it gently licked its crimson tongue, its sharp canine teeth interlocking and emitting a cold white glow.

Damn, I was too careless. I didn't expect this girl to be so resourceful and play this hand. Lin Wanrong broke out in a cold sweat, looking at the delicate young girl and the nearly mad vicious dog, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Lin Wanrong's pale face, Xiao Yushuang knew her cunning plan had worked. She was delighted to see the fear on the face of this wicked servant: "How about it, you scoundrel? Are you scared now? Don't blame me for not giving you a way out. Just tell me who drew that painting, and then give yourself one hundred slaps for insulting me earlier, and I'll spare you."

This room was specifically designed by Second Miss Xiao to discipline disobedient servants and maids. Once she spoke up, the servants would naturally fall silent. No one dared to defy Second Miss Xiao. Whether it was one hundred slaps or even a thousand, they would have to endure it. Her method of disciplining the servants had always worked. Today, facing the detestable Lin San, how could she vent her anger without a harsh punishment?

However, Lin Wanrong was extremely stubborn. If it was only about revealing who painted the picture, it wouldn't be a problem to tell her. But to slap himself in the face, Lin Wanrong hadn't stooped to that level yet, especially when facing such a willful young girl. The softer he acted, the more aggressive she would become. Lin Wanrong casually glanced at the young girl and snorted, "Ridiculous! I'm not afraid of you, girl. Just use whatever tricks you have."

Seeing that the wicked servant was still so arrogant, Second Miss Xiao clenched her teeth in anger. She slowly untied the cloth wrapped around the dog's mouth, fiercely glanced at Lin Wanrong, and said, "You better not regret this. General Zhenyuan, attack!"
