Puckering her lips, Xiao Linshuang added, "Big sister, these two n were spouting nonsense the mont they stepped in the door. I felt they were definitely up to no good, which is why I thought of giving them a lesson."
After Xiao Linshuang finished speaking, Du Ruo on the side indignantly chid in, "Eldest Miss, what the young lady said is true. Those two youths were disrespectful towards her. After receiving a minor punishnt from her, not only did they not show gratitude, but they even attempted to grab her!"
Watching the two servants getting increasingly aggravated, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but curl her lips in amusent, "I only said one thing, and here you two have given a whole spiel. Tsk tsk, indeed, the master and servant are of one mind!"
Du Ruo stuck out her tongue and giggled, choosing not to speak any further.
Xiao Linshuang also chuckled and leaned her head on Lin Yuan’s arm, batting her eyes and saying, "Big sister, you should have co earlier to see the fun!"
Pfft!
Lin Yuan burst into laughter, reaching out a finger to poke the girl’s forehead, and snorted, "Watch what drama? Watch how you play tricks on people?"
Xiao Linshuang tilted her head slightly, nodding repeatedly in excitent, "Yes, yes, you don’t know how aweso I was just now. With just a touch of powder from the crevice of my nails, I numbed both of them, and then there’s the itching powder and the numbing drug from the bottle, tsk tsk, not only did I numb their faces and arms, but I also made them itch all over without being able to scratch, haha, big sister, aren’t I amazing?"
"Whether or not you are amazing I do not know, however, I do know that you, this little Yaya, really have so venomous ideas!" Lin Yuan glanced at her sideways, clearly disapproving of her recent actions.
"Little sister, have you forgotten what I told you back when we were at the Lin family hollow?"
Seeing Lin Yuan’s expression turn serious, Xiao Linshuang stopped her playful antics and hurriedly let go of her big sister’s arm, standing obediently to the side. With her head slightly lowered, she earnestly said, "I dare not forget a single word you’ve said, big sister."
"Since you say you haven’t forgotten, then tell , what exactly did I say at that ti?"
Xiao Linshuang, behaving so obediently it was almost suspicious, montarily left Lin Yuan a bit at a loss. But the more obedient this girl acted, the more likely she was up to mischief, and Lin Yuan knew she couldn’t afford to soften her heart.
Xiao Linshuang glanced up, stealing a look at Lin Yuan, and noted that her fail-proof tactic of apologizing was ineffective this ti. Compliantly she said, "Big sister, you said that since I want to learn dicine, I must possess a heart of benevolence. If I wish to learn poison technique, I must know when and on whom to use poison."
Lin Yuan nodded, pleased that the girl did rember her words. But before she could speak, Xiao Linshuang hastily added, "However, big sister, I also rember you saying that one must not be lenient towards those with nefarious intentions, otherwise they would go on to harm even more people."
Lin Yuan was montarily taken aback and found herself at a loss for words.
Xiao Linshuang lifted her head, gazing earnestly at Lin Yuan, and continued, "Those two n were exactly the kind with wicked intent. If I did not teach them a proper lesson today, what if they co back for trouble another day? Moreover, it wasn’t on purpose that I let them go. I had soone follow them quietly. I don’t believe that they ca to Frost Pavilion on a whim to cause trouble—they must have been directed by soone else!"
As if to prove the truth of Xiao Linshuang’s words, the door to the small room suddenly opened.
Du Ruo opened the door, and the formidable young girl who had spoken up for Xiao Linshuang earlier appeared at the threshold.
She first bowed to Lin Yuan and Xiao Linshuang, then said, "Boss, you guessed right. Those two went straight to the Rouge Store on the street."
Xiao Linshuang nodded and asked her to continue selling goods downstairs.
Once the woman had left, Xiao Linshuang looked at her big sister with a touch of pride, smiling, "Big sister, wasn’t I right? There’s sothing fishy about those two n. Despite itching unbearably, instead of seeking a doctor, they insisted on going to a rouge store! Big sister, it’s as if they were seeking soone to save their lives!"
Xiao Linshuang babbled on with perfect logic, leaving Lin Yuan montarily speechless. Massaging her temples, Lin Yuan decided not to dwell on the matter any further.
Seeing Lin Yuan in such a state, Xiao Linshuang chuckled reassuringly, "But don’t worry, big sister. My itching powder only requires a bath to remove, so it won’t cause any serious problems. And their arms and faces will return to normal in half an hour."
Lin Yuan knew that Xiao Linshuang was inherently kind-hearted and wouldn’t make things difficult for others unless provoked.
"And about that Rouge Store..."
"Don’t worry about it, big sister," Xiao Linshuang giggled, "Frost Pavilion is not a shop selling rouge and costics at all. Those who can’t even distinguish this deserve to fail in business!"
Lin Yuan shook her head, deciding truly to let the matter rest.
While the two were speaking, the door knocked once more, and the young girl from before returned, "Boss, another young man has arrived outside, asking specifically for you!"
