Chapter 886 Slapping Down a Feud (4)
Twenty slaps might not sound like many, but they were more than enough to bruise a face beyond recognition. A little extra force could knock out all the teeth without it being a surprise.
Fan Meijiao felt utterly humiliated just for the sake of a maid: she had lost face and dignity. Full of resentment and seeing the green-clad maid dare to plead for mercy, her anger flared, and she yanked back her sleeve with force, pointing at a sturdy old woman and scolding, "You, slap her mouth!"
"Yes, as you command!" The old woman responded loudly, stepping forward and delivering a heavy slap to the green-clad maid, who cried out piercingly and lost her balance, falling to the ground.
"Ah—" The green-clad maid clutched her face and let out a pitiful scream that was chilling to hear.
No wonder the old woman struck so hard; it was well known that under the guise of being the chief maid and with Fan Meijiao’s favor, the green-clad maid was extremely harsh to the lower-ranked servants. They had suffered a lot at her hands and now seized the opportunity for payback—no one was going to let this chance slip by that easily!
The old woman, having served Fan Meijiao for years, understood her temperament well. The green-clad maid had caused her great embarrassment; getting off without being beaten to death once they returned home would be a mercy. The old woman slapped the maid with no hesitation, full of resentment.
The sharp sound of slaps echoed through the corridor until all twenty were delivered. The green-clad maid lay on the ground spitting out a pool of blood, having fainted from the blows. Her once delicate face was swollen like a pig’s head—unrecognizable even to her own parents should they arrive.
Mo Yan hadn’t expected the old woman to strike so hard and felt not a twinge of sympathy for the green-clad maid.
