In the courtyard, Shu Xiu was lying on a bench, beside him were two servants holding sticks.

"I heard that Miss ordered the fight. It's said that she still needs to play the board later."

"Who knows? Maybe our young miss is getting even more sick."

All of the servant girls discussed with each other.

"Even the Steward Cao is here, what do you think happened to the young miss?"

"With Steward Cao here, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight this Shu Xiu."

Who didn't know of the Shu Xiu who was next to the Madame, and was only waiting for her to bring him home as a concubine when she reached her age?

"Get out of the way."

"What's going on? Who beat her up like that?"

Seeing the Steward Cao angry, the surrounding people immediately lowered their heads in panic.

"It's me."

In a split-second, everyone was stunned.

Is, is this the Eldest Miss? Why is it different now?

Bai Li walked to the front of the group and smiled sinisterly at Steward Cao.

Steward Cao regained his senses as a ball of rage instantly ignited within his eyes.

Hearing the Steward Cao's obvious question, Bai Li's smile became even wider. She leisurely turned around and walked to the hollow wooden chair made of yellow pear that she had prepared earlier. She flung her skirt and entered her seat.

Bai Li took the cup, leisurely lifted the teacup and took a sip. That carefree att.i.tude of hers made it seem as if she hadn't heard Steward Cao's question at all. That calm and graceful manner of hers made the hearts of the servants jump when they saw this scene.

Just as Steward Cao exhausted his patience, Bai Li finally raised his eyes, "Steward Cao seems to have forgotten his ident.i.ty."

Steward Cao frowned, he finally noticed the change in Bai Li.

Bai Li lazily leaned against the back of the chair and slowly put down the cup of tea.

General Xie's voice was full of coldness.

Qi Wen coldly glanced at Steward Cao and slowly said one word: "Kill him."

Bai Li raised her eyebrows and smiled sinisterly as she looked at Steward Cao, "Which method of death does Steward Cao wish to choose, to feed the tiger, the wolf, or the dog?"

Looking at the killing intent s.h.i.+ning in Bai Li's eyes, Steward Cao's heart trembled uncontrollably. For a moment, he felt that he had seen the old general and the Marquis.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Steward Cao bowed slightly, "This old servant does not dare."

With just one action, the executioner immediately understood what was going on, and waved his staff towards Shu Xiu's back.

The solid plank landed on Shu Xiu's back, and the originally silent Shu Xiu instantly started to wail.

Steward Cao had a face full of pity.

"Aiyo, what's wrong?"
