Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars-Chapter 686: Itchy b*tt
" You what are you doing? I am your mother Su Wan!" Madam Chu didn't think that Su Wan would still be lawless as she was before, couldn't she see that the laws have changed? That she has to be filial to them or else they will drag her to the county magistrate, how dare she act so lawlessly in front of them?
" Are you trying to rebel against the orders of the Emperor?" cried madam Chu as she took another few steps away from the bodyguards who were walking towards her and her son like impending doom. Her eyes darted around nervously as she bit her lips and glared at Su Wan, she didn't believe that this woman would be daring enough to go against her after she dragged the name of the emperor. " If you try to hurt so much as a single strand of my hair, I swear I will drag you to the county magistrate even if I have to crawl there!"
Madam Chu shouted in a loud voice hoping that even one of Su Wan's neighbours would hear her screams and come to help her. She didn't want to be beaten nor did she want to get hurt, the last time she was hit was when she refused to listen to her father and ever since then even her father never beat her! Then how can this spawn of that bitch lay her hands on her?
" What a fascinating sight it would be?" Su Wan smilingly sipped the tea that her maid brought for her, she looked at Madam Chu who was looking at her in shock and then calmly sat the teacup down. " I have never seen anyone crawl on the streets, I heard that the Emperor would sometimes punish his ministers to do something as intriguing as that, if the ministers are unlucky they will end up with a bunch of bruises on their knees and hands, sometimes their wounds will get infected because they had to drag their torn skin on the dirt covered streets until they reached the imperial palace. This kind of punishment has always fascinated me but I couldn't see it with my eyes, now that you are here madam Chu please kindly demonstrate to me an example."
She popped a sweet cookie in her mouth and tasted the goodness of berries before licking her lips slowly and winking at Madam Chu. " Who knows maybe your kindness will ignite the remaining of my conscience and I might throw some copper coins at you and your son for showing me such a hilarious show?"
" You..you are not human!" Madam Chu shrieked, she really didn't think that Su Wan would hurt her or Su Yu Cheng, she thought that at most Su Wan would simply threaten them and make things difficult for them but now that she was looking at the amusement-filled gloating expression, she realised that she was indeed serious!
" Of course, I am not human."Su Wan stood up from her seat and then brushed the crumbs of cookies from her lap. " If I was human then I wouldn't have been killed by you and that cruel family. For years you have suppressed the poor Su Wan and yet you still crawl here shamelessly asking for money now that you have seen me live a good life, on what basis should I give you any money? You know it very well in your heart that the food you gave Su Wan before marrying her off, wasn't shared from the same pot as the one you ate from. No, you hate my mother that's why you always scooped out pig gruel from the dirty pot for Su Wan to eat, now you come here asking for money, how should I give you money for your 'kind' treatment?"
" I should have known! I should have known that a bitch's daughter will always be a bitch! What should you pay me for? For keeping that worthless body of you alive——"
" Number one go and slap that woman's mouth, she is ruining my mood." Before Madam Chu could finish cursing Su Wan poked her pinky in her ear and cleaned it with a slight hiss of pain. This woman was really a screamer, wasn't she? No wonder Shen Shui was never able to defeat her, from what she heard from her uncles, Shen Shui had a noble upbringing.
She was more delicate than the princesses in the Imperial palace with such a shrew-like woman as her opponent, Shen Shui was bound to get defeated after all she knew it better than anyone else that while dealing with a shrew, you have to be more of a shrew than her or else she will eat you alive!
Fortunately, the night market taught her well and she was capable enough to defeat this woman with ease.
The bodyguard called Number one once worked as the execution chief, his hands were rough from all the swords that he once raised with his hands. Thus, when he strode toward Madam Chu, his fierce face and scowl were scary enough to make Madam Chu to almost wet her pants in fear but when the man raised his hand and slapped her on the face until a fishy taste filled her mouth, she could no longer hold on to her bladder.
A putrid odour permeated Su Wan's courtyard and the latter scrunched up her nose in disgust. Sure enough, the woman had no guts yet she was trying to go against her, what a pity. If she was against the original Su Wan, that weak persimmon she would have won but —— not against her.
" You s*ut! How can you allow a man to hit my mother?" Su Yu Cheng might be the scummiest man out on the streets but he still loved and respected his mother. Seeing that his mother was reduced to a sorry state, he glared at Su Wan hatefully like he wanted to chew her flesh and feast on her heart.
Su Wan cocked a brow and then turned to her guards. " Number two, number three—— my dear brother's butt is feeling itchy would you mind taking care of it?"
