Chapter 953: A Match Made in Heaven, Kidnapped (2)
The maid, upon hearing this, immediately fell to her knees in terror and pleaded, "Miss, it’s all my fault, I will never dare again, please don’t sell off my family."
Having served the young mistress for many years, no one knew better than she the extent of her mistress’s cruelty. When the mistress was just eight years old, she had dared to push a maid who displeased her into the lotus pond to drown; after marrying into the Previous Uncle’s House, she could, without blinking an eye, kick a pregnant maid and cause her to miscarry. Threatening to sell their family to a mine was not just to scare her.
"Remember the words you’ve just said. If there’s a next time, I will sell off your family far away! Also, if those people are caught by the Government and you get exposed, don’t you dare say anything that would cause trouble for me. Otherwise, nobody can protect your family, not even your newly born nephew. Do you hear me?"
Watching the trembling maid, Fan Meijiao’s face flashed with a trace of smugness, her words full of threatening intent.
"Yes, yes, I will heed Miss’s orders. If the matter is revealed, I will bear it alone and never implicate Miss," the maid’s body shook even more violently as she bowed her head to hide the resentment in her eyes and swore to keep her promise.
She wasn’t concerned for her own life but for her parents, her brothers, and her sister-in-law and nephew, who were all servants of the Zhao Family; she couldn’t implicate her own family at any cost.
Fan Meijiao finally felt satisfied and glared at the maid on the ground, saying, "Humph, smart of you to recognize your place! Now go wait by the side door, and if you have any definite news, then report back to me."
"Yes, Miss, I will go now!" The maid hurriedly agreed, stumbled up from the ground, curtsied to Fan Meijiao, and rushed out.
