The Fierce Illegitimate Miss

Chapter 16

It was late at night. The liquor houses and teahouses on both sides of the street had already started hanging lanterns outside, one after another. Among the numerous restaurants, one with a magnificent entrance was particularly eye-catching. This building had four floors with only one door.

In front of the door were two extremely delicately carved jade imperial guardian lions that looked as though they were truly alive, sitting there and greeting the arriving guests. Above the door hung a sandalwood plaque, where three big and golden words were written in bold, cursive calligraphy: Drunken Immortal House. At a glance, you could tell that it was written by a renowned expert. Thought to protect the building from harmful spiritual influences and harmful people that might be a threat.

Yu Ling Long got out of the carriage and looked up at the business plaque before examining the entrance of the building. The words on the plaque were indeed imposing and out of the ordinary. However, for her, who had long been accustomed to such a huge spectacle, it could only be similar to a four-star bar at best.

Lifting her skirt a bit, Yu Ling Long led Xuan Cao into the short stairway. However, as soon as she did so, she immediately heard an arrogant and bossy voice, "Hey, hey, hey! If you're going to collect the leftovers, go to the back door!"

Yu Ling Long's delicate eyebrows slightly frowned before she slowly raised her head. Was this thing talking to her? At the entrance stood several men wearing matching short-sleeved robes. At a glance, one could tell that they were the gatekeepers of the building. A slightly younger man was waving impatiently at Yu Ling Long, hinting at her to come in by the back door.

Yu Ling Long's black eyes narrowed as she coldly snorted. Was it because he saw that she was wearing a shabby and plain outfit? He actually said she was collecting leftovers!

Without waiting for Yu Ling Long to speak, she heard Xuan Cao behind her angrily shouting, "How dare you talk to our Young Miss like that?" Stepping forward, Xuan Cao pointed her finger at the man and continued her scolding, "Open your dog eyes and look carefully, this is the Fourth Young Miss of General Yu's household!"

Yu Ling Long was somewhat surprised. When she crossed over to this world last night, Xuan Cao gave her the impression that she was a timid girl that was afraid of getting into trouble, who would even cry every now and then. She did not expect that at this moment, upon seeing someone humiliating her, Xuan Cao actually dared to step forward on her behalf. She originally thought that since this body's original owner had a weak disposition, it would be unlikely that her young female servant would have a fierce persona. She did not expect that in front of others, Xuan Cao could actually step forward to defend her. Recalling the previous matter of Xuan Cao sparing no effort to steal food from the kitchen for her, Yu Ling Long felt a little touched.

She guessed that probably, no matter who or what kind of person it was, as soon as they went after Yu Ling Long, Xuan Cao would immediately come out to protect her without even thinking about it, right? In all her life, she had never come across a master and servant with such deep affection.

While Yu Ling Long was still pondering about it, she noticed the several men by the door laughing crazily and loudly at Xuan Cao. It was not surprising that they did not believe her. Everyday, they would see numerous high officials and nobles. This might be their first time seeing a young lady of a great family with no decent jewelry to be found anywhere on her body!

"Go, go, go! Where did these insane ladies come from? Still not rolling out at once?!" The man who spoke laughed as he stretched out his hand to push Yu Ling Long.

Crack!

A crispy sound was heard. No one saw what Yu Ling Long did in such a short time, they only knew that in the end, the man's wrist had broken as it dangled softly; this sound was quickly followed by a pig-like scream. Yu Ling Long took out her handkerchief and gracefully wiped her hands as if they were contaminated with filth.
