Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 68: Collision

The steward was in the middle of catching the fox in the bushes. When he heard the voice, he turned around and was stunned, "Miss Tang?"

Tang Shishi ran closer while lifting her skirt. The more she looked, the more frightened she became. The young menservants held in their hands a rod with the thickness of Tang Shishi's arm. The steward held an animal net with fine iron nails in his hand. There were many animal traps scattered on the ground, and suspicious black stains were congealed on the bottom.

Tang Shishi was so frightened that her face immediately turned cold and said angrily, "Presumptuous! I raised the fox, it's not wild. If there's anything, come to me. Why do you make things difficult for a little fox that could not resist?"

The fact that Tang Shishi raised a fox was not a secret in the mansion. People know that there were two fozes in the Jianjia courtyard. One was Miss Tang, an important person in front of Wangye, and the other was the red fox, which was brought back from the paddock by Wangye to be raised by Miss Tang.

When the little fox ran out before, people in the mansion knew that this was a pet raised by Tang Shishi, and no one dared to make things difficult for it. The little fox grew up smoothly in the mansion. After all, Tang Shishi, Dujuan, and others had other things to do. Since they saw that the little fox did not cause trouble after some time, the supervision was less strict, and they let the little fox went outside to move about at will.

Who could have imagined that the little fox had been living in peace for so long before, but something went wrong only today? Tang Shishi did not believe that Lu Yufei did not know that this was her pet.

Seeing Tang Shishi, the young menservants and the courtyard guards' action slowed down and spread out slightly to reveal Lu Yufei's crime who was in the pavilion. Lu Yufei had seen Tang Shishi from the beginning but only now, she walked down slowly and said, "Oh! it turned out to be Miss Tang. Isn't Miss Tang recuperating, why did you come out?"

"Shizi Consort wanted to kill my pet. Even if I am a Bodhisattva, I can't sit still." With a cold face, Tang Shishi said, "The little fox has been in the mansion perhaps a little longer than Shizi Consort. Could it be that Shizi Consort didn't know that this is my pet?"

"Of course I know." Lu Yufei said with a smile, "It's Miss Tang's affair what does Miss Tang likes to raise, and it's not my turn to intervene. I heard that this fox was brought back from the paddock, and Miss Tang also likes to let it roam freely. I originally thought that with Miss Tang's meritorious deed at serving Wangye, even if it was inconvenient, I still silently endured it. However, this time it was not a matter of forbearance. It doesn't matter if I was wronged, but it'll be out of the question to wrong the second young lady of Xi. Look, it actually scratched Yunchu! This evil animal is wild and untamable. For the sake of the safety of the womenfolk in the mansion, I think it's better to get rid of it."

Tang Shishi saw the blood marks on Xi Yunchu's hands. Tang Shishi has been raising the little fox for so long and knew its temperament best. The little fox has been raised since it was young and was very clingy and would not recklessly injure others. The bloodstains on Xi Yunchu's hands were neat and tidy. Mostly, she had done something that provoked the little fox to be anxious, and the little fox gave her a paw.

However, the situation was stronger than others and Tang Shishi was unable to defend the little fox. She could only swallow this breath and apologize, "It hurts people because I didn't teach it well. I am here to apologize to the second young lady Xi. I hope that the second young lady is generous and will let it go this time. After all, it is a little thing with no wisdom, and it is not easy to grow to such a big size. Miss Xi, please be considerate."

Xi Yunchu snorted softly, and said ambiguously, "If I'm considerate of it, then who is considerate of me? I walked properly, but I was suddenly clawed by it. Its paws are so dirty. I haven't demand Miss Tang for justice yet, but Miss Tang questioned me?"
