I insist

Chapter 183: The Eccentric Master and Servant

The maid felt a burning pain on her face. She turned her head and looked at the floor in confusion.

After a long while, the maid finally came to her senses. She looked up blankly at Song Miqiu, covered her face where Song Miqiu had slapped her, her eyes reddened, and angrily questioned, "You dare to hit me?!"

"Why wouldn't I dare hit you?" Song Miqiu found it quite amusing.

She stood there, staring directly into the maid's red eyes, and said sarcastically, "Not only do I want to hit you, but I also look down on you. It was clearly your mistress who was being unreasonable first. Whether I can afford to buy things or not is none of your business. You're just insulting me for no reason and want to hit me. Aren't you just asking for a beating?"

The maid's chest heaved violently with anger; she wouldn't listen to anything Song Miqiu said.

As Gu Siming's personal maid, she had always gotten whatever she wanted, but now, she was about to be slapped hard in front of so many people by an old woman.

She couldn't swallow this insult!

Gu Siming stood behind the maid and shrieked, "What are you doing?! Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. How dare you lay a hand on my maid!"

Just as Song Miqiu was about to say something, the maid slammed her hand on the shopkeeper's counter and angrily accused, "You're from a poor family, what right do you have to hit me? What gives you the right to hit me? My young lady is the daughter of the Marquis of Wu, what right do you have to provoke the Marquis of Wu's mansion?!"

As more and more people gathered around, Gu Siming felt increasingly embarrassed.

With a cold expression, she fixed her gaze on her maid and said in a chilling voice, "Alright, don't bother with this person, come with me now!"

Gu Siming didn't want to be surrounded by so many people here; it would be too embarrassing. She refused to lose face.

But the maid was clearly angry with Song Miqiu and didn't hear a word Gu Siming said.

"You bitch! You just wait, be careful on your way home! Don't get dragged into an alley and beaten!" The maid was furious and wanted to kick Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu stepped aside without saying a word, but quietly watched the maidservant blush and shout loudly.

In her eyes, the maid's behavior was a disgrace to Gu Siming. Song Miqiu craned her neck to see Gu Siming's reaction.

The latter's face flushed slightly, clearly feeling that she was about to lose all face.

She sneered, and seeing that the maidservant was no longer speaking, she turned and strode away.

"Don't go!"

The maid was stunned when she saw the man turn and leave halfway through his sentence.

"Stop her immediately!" Gu Siming screamed.

Since I've already lost face, I might as well deal with this troublesome guy first!

Thinking of this, Gu Siming followed behind the maid, preparing to catch up with Song Miqiu.

Everyone in the jade shop watched this scene, and some even stood up and whispered among themselves.

Gu Siming is the daughter of Marquis Wu, a fact known to almost half the staff at the silver shop. The reason is simple: Gu Siming and her maid often flaunt their status as Marquis Wu's daughter, making it difficult for them not to recognize them.

Now that the old woman has offended the two of them, the people around are very curious about how the old woman will deal with Gu Siming.

After all, compared to Gu Siming, her maid was the most troublesome.

Gu Siming had turned her maid into a spoiled and willful person, and the other people did not think that the two of them would let Song Miqiu off easily.

The maid touched Song Miqiu's shoulder and pulled her back sharply.

Song Miqiu staggered back a few steps. She immediately took out her needle case from her belt, took out a needle from the side of the case, and forcefully stabbed the maid's arm with her backhand.

She used tremendous force, stabbing the maid so hard that she cried out.

The maid took a step back, looking at the silver needle stuck in the back of her hand, tears streaming down her face from the pain.

Just as the maid was about to stop, Song Miqiu pulled out the silver needle. Perhaps because she used too much force, a drop of blood appeared at the tip of the needle.

The maid grabbed her arm and turned to Gu Siming, crying and complaining.

The latter pulled the maid behind her and questioned Song Miqiu in a shrill voice, "Why did you lay a hand on my maid?! Who do you think you are?"

"No." Song Miqiu felt that the other party was simply unreasonable.

She crossed her arms, glanced at the maid's hand, and said with amusement, "Is something wrong with your maid's hand?"

"Even if nothing happened, that's no excuse for you to harm her like this!" Gu Siming turned to look at the person behind her and retorted sharply.

Now Song Miqiu was speechless at this bizarre pair of mistress and servant.

She sneered and said sharply, "If you hadn't interfered, this wouldn't have happened!"

"I'm putting my words out here now. If you dare to continue harassing me, I will definitely make a big fuss about this!" Song Miqiu had just realized that this daughter of the Marquis of Wu was extremely concerned about her reputation.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have spoken up and asked her maid to leave when there were so many people in the jade shop, so as to avoid more people seeing their shameful affair.

"Anyway, I'm too old to care about my reputation, but I don't know if you guys have any shame left."

Enraged, the maid stepped out from behind Gu Siming again. She gritted her teeth, stared at her palate with her tongue, and rushed over while Song Miqiu was confronting her young mistress.

She wanted to tackle Song Miqiu to the ground so that it would be easier for her and her mistress to make their move later.

But Song Miqiu had already seen through it. She glanced at the maid rushing towards her and a smile appeared on her lips.

Song Miqiu leaned to the side and saw the maid miss her target and fall to the ground.

Seeing this, she stood there amused, bent down and gently patted the other person's cheek, and said sarcastically, "You didn't listen to what I just said, did you?"

Song Miqiu straightened up, looked down at the maid on the ground, and frowned slightly. "You deserve it!"

The maid felt utterly humiliated!

She coldly glanced at the other person, reached out to grab Song Miqiu's ankle, but was kicked away forcefully by the other person.

She was kicked aside in a disheveled state by Song Miqiu. Gu Siming quickly walked to her maid's side, squatted down, and pulled the maid up from the ground.

Song Miqiu watched the whole thing unfold. "Didn't I say I didn't care? But you guys are shameless too."

"You!" Gu Siming was so angry she was going crazy; she felt her whole body trembling with rage.

She never expected Song Miqiu to be so shameless.

Not only did she beat her own maid, but she also called them both shameless. Even though she was in the wrong first, she was the one who lost face in front of everyone!

Gu Siming had never suffered such humiliation since childhood. With the identity of the daughter of the Marquis of Wu, everyone treated her like a lapdog.
