Chapter 96: Family Cares for Each Other
The next morning Xing was dressed according to etiquettes and was taken to the memorial hall and she paid respect to her ancestors and Xing saw her mother’s name tablet being there too and she felt happy that she was included in the Huang family too.
And as she finished the rites and rituals, Xu mama took her around the Manor and that’s when a servant came to Xu mama to inform her that a servant surname Ming was punished for breaking the rules and was whipped.
Xing had a smirk to see a maid beside him with a big bowl of rock salt in her hands and asked to be taken there.
Xing went to the punishment room to see Ming Anshen lying on his abdomen with a maid applying medicine on his back that was whipped. The skin had peeled and there was blood seeping from it.
The maid who brought the salt wondered when did the punishment in the Huang Manor got changed from canning to whipping. She knew this one always acted arrogant and called himself Lord and she expected he’ll be punished one day but she felt bad seeing him lying there wallowing in pain, grunting and cursing.
"Everyone leave", Xing said in a commanding tone and everyone left leaving Xing and Ming Anshen. He recognised Xing’s voice and helped himself to sit up.
Xing could see his disdainful look turning into bewilderment when he looked at her.
"Ah...! You are a girl...! I forgot completely!", he snorted at Xing and his eyes trailed over her from top to bottom making assessment of every part of her. She sure looks damn delicious! Just because of the way she dressed and the way their brother treated her, he had forgotten the fact that she is actually a fine speciman of a woman!
’There it is! The weird look men give me when I’m in female clothing’, Xing cringed. She almost forgot about this as she got used to her brother and others she met lately who don’t look at her that way and look at her like a human.
"Nice to meet you as a servant", she sneered making him clench his jaws.
"You are no...! ", he paused and seeing Xing smirking at him, realisation hit him. ’She should be the Huang daughter everyone is talking about!’ No way! How could that be!
"You realised, how sweet!", Xing sneered and picked the bowl of rock salt and got near him but seeing him looking at her with a delighted expression that he could be touched by her, she halted her steps and called Xu mama in and asked her to rub the salt in his wounds.
