Dong Huiying’s husband and a few others, except for Yue Ning, all wore indifferent expressions.

Glancing at the carriage carrying Yan Xiyu, Dong Huiying withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the timid little maid.

The little maid was a bit over one meter and sixty centimeters tall, which would be sufficient in her original world.

But the issue is, in this place, women are superior and men inferior, and the women of Dayuan are generally more robust than men, usually standing around one meter and eighty centimeters tall. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Therefore, there are only two possibilities for why this little maid is so short.

One is that, like her former self, the maid is regarded as deformed by the people of Dayuan due to her short stature, or the maid hasn’t reached adulthood, meaning she’s a minor.

Looking at the maid’s delicate and youthful appearance, she felt the latter possibility was more likely.

"Does your lady wish to exchange something to eat with me?"

She glanced at the campfire not far away, upon which a few roasted chickens, caught mountain chickens, were placed.

The little maid breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this lady really had a good temper, seeming to be a kind person, neither arguing with her lady nor taking her lady’s attitude out on her.

Maid Li Luo felt slightly at ease in her heart, then lightly nodded her head, "That’s right, miss... please don’t mind, my lady, she actually..."

She wanted to explain a few things for Yan Xiyu since earlier, Yan Xiyu’s blunt words probably had been overheard.

But, at this moment, seemingly impatient, Yan Xiyu in the carriage lifted the curtain and came down with a sullen face.

"Li Luo, you have the guts of a wild dog!"

This maid actually dared to speak ill of her?

If she hadn’t come down in time, she guaranteed that she would have gossiped about her.

Such a talkative girl, might as well rip out that restless tongue of hers!

Thinking this, Yan Xiyu’s eyes revealed a few threads of malice and a hint of sinister color.

Li Luo turned around hastily: "Miss, Li Luo was wrong!"

She bit her lip and lowered her head, her little face turning pale with fear, almost devoid of color; yet in those eyes, a pained expression was full.

People say being with the king is like being with a tiger, and she felt that her lady’s temper was scarier than a mountain tiger, so unpredictable, and ever-changing.

If not careful, it’s easy to incur her lady’s displeasure.

Yan Xiyu glared fiercely at Li Luo, having been turned away at Chuixue Manor, her heart had been displeased.

"Just wait, I’ll deal with you later!"

Immediately after, Yan Xiyu came over, seemingly displeased with Li Luo for blocking her way, or maybe because she was already in a foul mood; she deliberately took it out on Li Luo, and with one kick, she directly sent the maid sprawling to the ground.

Li Luo let out a muffled groan but didn’t dare to say anything, quickly enduring the pain, scrambling to get up from the ground.

Yan Xiyu lifted her angular eyes to look at Dong Huiying, then stretched out her hand towards Li Luo’s direction.

Li Luo was stunned, hastily grabbing the money pouch, respectfully placing it in Yan Xiyu’s hand.

But...

"Outrageous! You dare use something so filthy to defile me?"

This referred to the money pouch, which had fallen on the ground and gotten dirty.

She backhanded a slap!

It seemed she was digging a hole for Li Luo to jump into, deliberately humiliating Li Luo, purposely finding fault, and intentionally tormenting this little maid.

However, her raised hand wasn’t able to land on Li Luo’s face, as it was intercepted midway by someone.
