932 Little Loli Cleaning Up Trouble Makers
The two maids were about to speak but there was the sound of footsteps walking down the stairs.
They hastily kept their mouths shut, while bowing their heads, and they pretended to be respectfully waiting there quietly.
Dou Xiangling saw the maids the moment she came down together with Little Loli.
Dou Xiangling asked, “What’s the matter?”
!!A middle-aged maid stepped forward with a box in her hands and said, “Miss Dou, this is a gift from the Madam. She mentioned that the guests attending the banquet tonight are all dignitaries and it would embarrass Young Master Ian if you do not have a set of presentable jewelry.”
It was an obvious attempt to mock Dou Xiangling by subtly saying that she does not even possess any presentable jewelry.
Dou Xiangling’s face turned slightly flushed from anger and she was about to speak, but Little Loli pulled her clothes and motioned for her not to speak. Shortly afterwards, she said, “Wow! Your Madam is really kind-hearted.”
“Of course. The Madam mentioned that she might have said some things that would result in Miss Dou’s misunderstanding and unhappiness. In fact, she is very fond of Miss Dou. You are a lady from a scholarly family and you must be very knowledgeable and reasonable. She believes that you won’t take these things to heart. After Miss Dou accepts these presents, we will be a family in the future.”
“Is that so? But while you’re telling us all these things right now, your Madam had also sent someone upstairs to sabotage my cousin’s evening dress. Isn’t this too contradictory?”
“Young lady, please refrain from talking nonsense. How could our Madam send someone to sabotage Miss Dou’s dress? Only the three of us were sent here and we are all here right now.”
“Hmph! Do you really think we are easy to deceive? The one upstairs has already admitted it.”
Little Loli continued to speak, “Go back and tell your Madam that my cousin won’t even look at these trinkets that the Madam has gifted. She has Song Jewelry providing jewelry for her and you should get your Madam to keep these trinkets for herself instead.”
“You-”
The middle-aged woman became angry. “I am speaking to Miss Dou. What rights do you have to decide on Miss Dou’s behalf to accept the Madam’s jewelry or not?”
Having said that she stared at Dou Xiangling and her tone of voice contained a hint of a threat. “Even if Young Master Ian inherits the Count’s position in the future, the Madam is still his elder. If Miss Dou wants to marry into the family, she has to…”
PA!
“AH! You dared to hit me?”
Little Loli looked at her own hand and acted like a green tea b*tch that did not know how such a thing happened. “I don’t know why my hand moved on its own. Auntie, I’m so sorry about that. I didn’t mean to do so.”
“You-… you!”
The middle-aged maid was so angry that she raised her hand with the intention of returning the slap.
BANG!
“AHHH-”
Looking at the middle-aged woman who was sent flying several meters away and who was in so much pain that she could not get up, the remaining two maids screamed out of fear.
“Shut up!”
Little Loli quickly exuded a powerful killing aura. She looked at the other two maids and raised her hand at them.
“AHHH-”
The maids raised their hands to block her.
Little Loli revealed a sneer and quickly grabbed one of the maid’s hands, before she then sent out a strong electric current.
“AHHH-”
The other one was frightened. She watched in horror as the maid’s body constantly twitched as if she had epilepsy. She immediately turned and escaped.
Soon, both of them disappeared without a trace.
Just then, there were the sounds of approaching footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
Ian and Dou Zerui who were walking in from outside had expressions as thunderous as storm clouds in a dark sky.
“Xiangling, you…”
When they saw the situation in the courtyard, all their worries came to a halt.
Sometime later, Dou Zerui pointed at the two miserable maids and asked, “Little Loli, did you do this?”
Little Loli had returned to her naïve appearance by the time they had arrived. She clasped her hands together and said cutely, “Little Loli only helped cousin Xiangling to gently teach them a lesson. How would Little Loli know that they were so weak?”
Having said that, she did not forget to blink her eyes while speaking innocently. “Little Loli is a weak princess that can’t even take care of herself.”
Dou Zerui’s lips twitched for a second, but he was still very grateful to Little Loli.
Ian had walked over to Dou Xiangling by this time. He checked her over from head to toe and breathed a sigh of relief. “Xiangling, it’s good that you’re alright.”
“I’m fine.”
Dou Xiangling said, “Aren’t you two very busy? You can go ahead and do your work. There’s Little Loli here and no one can do anything to me.”
Little Loli interrupted. “There’s another one upstairs. Brother Ian, hurry and move her away.”
Ian said to two of his guards, “Bring the one upstairs down here.”
Subsequently, he ordered another guard. “Have all of them arrested. And arrest those who dare to rescue them too.”
“Yes.”
The bodyguards soon brought the three maids away and Dou Xiangling urged Ian to go back to his work because he was busy.
Ian sent her upstairs and said to her, “I’ll leave behind some bodyguards for you. Whoever dares to step another foot inside, I’ll get them to chase them away.”
Having said that, he took his leave and then made his way to the Countess’ place.
“Mother, if you can’t accept Xiangling, you don’t have to show up at our engagement banquet tonight.”
The Countess was still worried that Ian was here to find trouble with her. Her eyes widened at his words. “Ian, what do you mean by that?”
If she does not attend Ian’s engagement banquet, how would the others view her in the future?
Ian gave her a cold look. He did not give her the opportunity to put on a pretense. “I’ve already put up with you once last night. Were you thinking that I was afraid of you?”
“Ian, you…” The Countess was frightened by Ian’s current gaze. To prevent herself from appearing weak, she immediately raised her voice. “You’re not the Count yet. If you get engaged without the attendance of your Mother, let’s see how the outside world will gossip about that woman!”
Ian’s expression turned even colder and the Countess was left frightened.
Ian said, “My Mother passed away fifteen years ago. Don’t think that I’m unaware of what you’ve done all these years.”
He then lowered his voice and his deep voice was so scary that it made one’s scalp tingle. “Aren’t you just trying to prevent me from inheriting the Count’s position? I’m sorry to disappoint you. Not only will I be inheriting the position, a woman like you who isn’t my birth mother won’t have to appear in front of Xiangling either. When the time comes, she will be the Countess instead.”
“You… you.. How dare you threaten me?! Do you believe that I won’t inform your Father about this?”
“Go ahead and be a tattle tale.”
Ian straightened his back and looked at her coldly. “I’ve also prepared an evening dress for you tonight. If you wish to attend my engagement banquet, wear it.”
“You-”
“If you choose not to wear it, you won’t have to show up at the banquet.” At this point, Ian turned around and walked to the door. When he reached the door, he stopped and tilted his head to say, “I don’t think you are aware yet, but when I brought Xiangling to meet the King yesterday, he mentioned that he would personally attend our engagement banquet.”
The Countess’ eyes widened to the extreme.
Ian thought and then said, “I will get people to watch over you to make sure that you are wearing that dress. If you want to attend, you must wear it.”
He left the room after he said his piece.
The Countess, on the other hand, was like a deflated balloon. She had lost her strength and slumped down on the chair.
She knows that there must be something wrong with the evening dress that Ian prepared for her.
