Bride of the Dragon Emperor

"Yes... I slapped her, but so what!"

When she said that, Xiao Xingxing was looking down, thus they did not know what her expression was. The girl was playing with the jade bangle on her arm. She looked innocent like a child, but her voice carried a certain amount of coldness that sent shivers on both Liang Muyue and her servant maid.

"You- General, did you hear what she said?!" Liang Murong yelled, she was beaming with anger. Fanning herself with her hands, she turned to General Xiao wearing a face full of anger as if she was the one who was wronged. But the general just frowned at her in response.

Liang Murong felt embarrassed, she inwardly scolded herself for reacting to much. She gritted her teeth. Just now, Liang Murong r realized she acted out of the character. Afraid that the general will find out her true nature, she automatically changed her demeanor back to the gentle and calm lady of the house.

"Oh... General, pardon this lady for reacting too much. This lady was just too emotional." Liang Murong started crying as she raise her hand holding a handkerchief to wipe those so-called tears on her face.

"Pretentious" Xiao Xingxing muttered in a low voice that only she can hear. Lowering her head, she rolled her eyes to Liang Murong's award-winning acting.

Seeing the weeping lady's face, which was not even wet. Xiao Xingxing can only sigh in herself. If only this lady was born in the future. With her acting skills, she might even become a famous actress. A pity that she's just wasting it in her schemes and for deceiving other people.

"Yes, it is. Second Madam is so emotional indeed. I have not finished talking yet and here you are, crying already" Xiao Xingxing gave off a smile that wasn't a smile. Liang Murong saw it and her sobs stopped. She froze at her words, 'Is this bi*ch mocking me? What does she mean by saying that she has not finished talking yet?'

'Did she not admit earlier that she had harmed Muyue and her maid? What nonsense does this b*tch saying now?'

There was anger in the eyes of Liang Murong as she glared back at Xiao Xingxing before her. If only the general wasn't present, then Liang Murong had already tossed this hateful girl aside and poured hot tea all over her until her skin was burn by it.

Feeling dissatisfied, Liang Murong harumph. She wiped the "tears" on her face with the handkerchief in her hands as she fixes herself. Still, anger visible in her eyes. Hmp! Let's see what kind of rubbish words, this b*tch is going to say. As if she could escape her punishment.

General Xiao on the other side, frowned. He asked his daughter what she meant and Xiao Xingxing just looked at him with a smile, saying 'It's okay father, let your daughter handle it'. That's when the old general heaved a sigh of relief. He was not mistaken, his daughter is a sensible person. She will not do something without a proper reason. After thinking, General Xiao chose not to ask anymore and just focus his attention to listen to what his daughter would say.

"Yes, I slapped them, but, that was because they deserved it" the girl's soft yet domineering voice rang in every person's ear. No one spoke, everyone present quietly waited for the next words Xiao Xingxing would say. Xingxing did not intend to disappoint them, because not long after, the girl spoke again. Xiao Xingxing told them every single detail of what had transpired between them earlier. Even those parts that Liang Muyue altered. She told her father at how disrespectful they were towards her; even beating her servant right in front of her. They did it without even taking her position in consideration as the servant's the master.

After speaking, Xiao Xingxing felt thirsty from all the talking and so, took the cup of tea and softly drank it. Hearing the whole truth, General Xiao rose from his seat. His expression was serious and there was anger in his eyes as he shot a stern look at the persons kneeling on the stone ground. Thecurrently kneeling Liang Muyue was frightened by the general's imposing aura. Even Liang Murong on the side jolted when she saw him angry. She knew that the general was a brave man and that, he was a cruel person against his enemies. However, during her stay in the Xiao mansion, Liang Murong gradually forgets this side of him and how frightening this man she married, Xiao Jingxian is.

"General, can you please forgive my niece for what she has done? After all, it was just a little misunderstanding between children. Eldest miss was not hurt. Oh, that little servant girl did not seem to be seriously injured. We can just give her some medicine. So General, what happened today, can we just let it slide?" She hastily kneeled right in front of General Xiao and beg.

"Are you kidding me? Let it slide? Did not seem to be seriously injured? Misunderstanding between children? Second Madam, are you treating us as fools?" Hearing Liang Murong rubbish talking, Xiao Xingxing felt annoyed. She was about to say something when her father talked.

"As a lady born of an official's family, what kind of learnings did you get to have that kind of reasoning?" he continued, "Did you forget that someone was hurt? Whether it was a servant or not, it's still a living person. So one should not casually beat people without a proper reason." Liang Murong felt utterly embarrassed and furious inside. She lifted her head and glance at that man's face which carries seriousness. She knew that this man is a sensible man, a just man who stood by his words. Even though he was a general who fought in the battlefield and killed thousands of soldiers. He was still a man who treasures lives, especially the lives within his General's Manor.

Liang Murong was helpless in the end. She reluctantly retreated to the side as she watches him order the servants to drag Liang Muyue and her servant, Ah-mei to the punishment hall.
