Chapter 702: The Act of Righteousness (4)_1
As Cai Wei answered, she headed towards ’Gaoji’s Tavern’ following her memory.
At this moment, Gaoji’s Tavern was not yet closed. Cai Wei stood on the street, looking coldly through the open door at Gao Jia, who was sitting behind the counter. She snorted a cold laugh and turned towards his back house.
The layout of Gaoji’s Tavern is the same as that of the Eight-Fortune Tavern in Qingyun Town. Both are three-entry houses. The first entry facing the street is used as a shop, and the following two entries in the backyard are used as residences.
Cai Wei arrived at the backyard, lightly jumped over the yard wall, and saw the rooms in the second entry were dark without any lamps lit. It seemed that these rooms belonged to the waiters of the tavern, and they were empty at present because the tavern hadn’t closed.
Unlike the second entry, lights were on in the backyard residence, and cries of a child and scolding from a woman could faintly be heard from inside.
"You damn slut, did you want to scald me to death by boiling the water this hot?"
"Smack——"
A crisp sound of a slap, followed by a mournful scream, echoed from inside the house to the outside.
Cai Wei frowned, walked to the window, and gently poked a small hole in the window paper with her finger to look inside.
In the room, a young lady in a large red undergarment, with her bare feet, was forcefully scolding a maid holding a child. At her feet was an overturned wooden basin and water for washing feet scattered all around.
The lady, with foxy eyes and a slim waist, held her hips with one hand, tightly twisted the maid’s ear with the other, causing the maid to cry out and beg for mercy.
"Madam, please spare me, I was wrong, I will go right away to boil water for you again..."
