Chapter 138 Punishment
Madam Song kicked Furong to the ground; it was the first time she had been so humiliated in front of her husband since their marriage, all because of this wretched servant.
"Madam, spare me, madam!" Furong cried out, clutching tightly to Madam Song’s legs, sobbing desperately.
Madam Song’s anger grew even more, and she shouted, "Is everyone dead? Why hasn’t anyone dragged this wretched servant away!"
Shao Yao and Jie Gen immediately rushed in from left and right to pull Furong away.
Old Madam Fang arrived upon hearing the commotion; she had only stepped away for a moment, yet this wretched servant had managed to break in.
"Wretched servant." Without another word, Old Madam Fang slapped Furong twice across the face, then turned to the wheezing Madam Song, "Madam, there’s no need to get angry with this wretched servant. Hai Tang, quickly fetch a Heart Cleansing Pill for the Madam."
Madam Song gripped Old Madam Fang’s hand tightly, glaring at Furong with a face full of anger, "I’ve been kind to you, yet you choose to disgrace yourself, daring to show off in front of the Prime Minister. You wretched servant, you must have a death wish."
Furong cried uncontrollably, "Madam, I dare not, I truly don’t want to leave you, madam."
"Don’t want to leave? Do you think I don’t know you want to offer yourself to the Prime Minister? Wretched servant, you dare, you think you’re worthy? Have you looked at your own status? Do you think the Prime Minister would take a fancy to you?" Madam Song’s anger was real; even though she had thought of having her serve Song Zhiyuan, that did not mean Furong could seek him out without her consent.
In consideration of their time together, Madam Song had planned to let her quietly leave the manor, as a gesture to maintain face for both mistress and servant. Who knew, her attempt to do good was met with deception from this wretched servant.
Madam Song had never been this angry, especially in front of her own husband; that glance truly humiliated her.
