Chapter 20.

　　Upon hearing the roar, Peony couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It's a blessing not a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, she can't ask the old and skinny Mama Lin to stand in her way, can she? There were also Yu He, Kuan Er, and Jie Er, all of whom were subordinates, and if she was not careful, she would become a punching bag. 　　Thinking of this, Peony tightened her clothes and walked out calmly, first pulling Lin's mom behind her, and then looked at Liu Chang and said in surprise: "Yikes! Husband! How did you become like this? Quickly, quickly, have the kitchen cook two eggs for the Prince to roll his eyes to reduce the swelling!" 　　Seeing Kuan'er and Jue'er standing still, especially Jue'er, whose eyes were wide open and only staring at herself, she directly named them, "Kuan'er and Jue'er, go to the kitchen and run faster! And tell them to make a bowl of sobering soup." 　　"You don't pretend! Don't think that I don't know that you're up to something! You're happy to see me beaten up like this, aren't you? Let me tell you, even though I'm in this state, Li Nympho didn't get any better, his beautiful nose was broken by me!" Liu Chang coldly swept a glance at Peony, and crooked on the rattan chair by the curtain regarding Lanzhi's hand, glaring gloomily at the terrified Yu He: "Fry tea with me!" 　　Yu He quietly glanced at Peony, just in time to receive Peony's worried and questioning look. The master-servant duo had long had a mutual understanding, she knew that Peony was asking herself if Li Nympho's nose was really broken, so she firmly shook her head. 　　Peony sighed in relief and signaled Yu He to do as Liu Chang said. Yu He could only sigh in secret and excused himself to go next door to make tea, keeping his ears open to listen to the commotion, fearing that if he wasn't paying attention, Liu Chang would start a fight. 　　Lin mother see their side of the powerful several maids have been supported away, only a dried up old woman, while the stout Li mother and Lanzhi are surrounded by Liu Chang, a feeling of powerlessness arose, look around, secretly go to a whisk in the hand in order to prepare for the use of it. 　　Liu Chang instructed Mrs. Li and Lanzhi: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and prepare a hot soup for me to bathe in?" 　　Mother Li boldly swept a glance at Peony and laughed, "The slave girl remembered that there happens to be clean hot water in the young lady's room." 　　Peony secretly hated it and casually said, "It's not clean, it's already been used! If I rewash the basin and prepare another for the young master, I'm afraid it's already too late, I'm far away from the kitchen here, when will I wait until it's delivered? Mother Li, go to Aunt Biwu's place and ask her to prepare the hot water, and later Master Gongzi will go over." 　　Mrs. Li stood still, only looking at Liu Chang out of the corner of her eye. 　　Liu Chang glared at Peony, and said to Mrs. Li in an evil voice: "Since there is hot water, why don't you get out of here? What are you doing here!" 　　Mom Li and Lanzhi exchanged a glance, busily retired with smiles on their faces, "The slave girls are waiting outside, if Master and Young Lady have any orders, just call out and they'll be here." 　　Lin mother, however, seems to be completely unheard, leaning on the side of the case, hand holding the duster, eyes slightly closed, as if falling asleep in general. 　　Liu Chang didn't care about her, and directly got up and walked inside, undoing her belt as she walked. 　　Peony was so nervous that her hands and feet were soft: "What are you doing?" 　　Liu Chang sneered, "Don't you know what I do? I come to do what needs to be done, so that you don't have to think nonsense, a moment to follow me, a moment to attract people to see jokes, a moment to flirt with your laborious cousin to give you anger, causing me to lose face!" As he said this, he unclipped the belt and threw it directly at Lin mother's feet. 　　The scented bag on the belt smashed hard on the back of Lin's mother's foot, bluffing her, after recognizing what was going on, an old face reddened, clenching the duster in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Master Gongzi, wait!" 　　Liu Chang stopped his hands from undoing his belt, "Mom has something to say?" 　　Mama Lin straightened her chest and said, "You have wronged the Young Lady in today's matter! She didn't follow you, it was the Sheriff who sent someone to call her, at that time, Pan Shizi was trying to buy flowers with the young lady, he also listened to it, and somehow, even followed it, it really has nothing to do with our young lady. What happened after that is even less known, Your Excellency don't listen to the slanderous words of the bystanders and wrongly accuse the young lady, and if a gap is born between the couple, it won't be beautiful." 　　Liu Chang looked at Peony and faintly said, "Is that so?" 　　Peony was busy saying, "Of course it is true." Where did she have that idle mind? The fault is not hers, public restroom you hurry up and leave. 　　Liu Chang thought sideways, "I know. Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything to her, you and first go down to rest." The tone of voice sounded like it was much softer than before. 　　Peony looked at Lin mom in shock, Lin mom was hesitant, so Liu Chang undid another sash, Lin mom had no choice but to give Peony an encouraging look, indicating that she would be right outside the door, and that if there was anything wrong, she would come in. Although her original plan was for Peony to pretend to be sick and ask Master and Mrs. He to force Liu Chang to make amends to Peony before saying anything else, it was only natural for Liu Chang to come to Peony's house to bathe for the night, so how could she, a servant, dare to kick him out? 　　As the door was closed, Peony's heart was hanging in mid-air, she could not go up or down, and it was difficult for her to breathe, so she could only subconsciously tighten her clothes again and again. 　　Seeing the door closed, Liu Chang stretched his arms out, "Come and help me undress." 　　Peony hung her head still and gritted her teeth, "I don't!" Public restroom! Public restroom! By what right! If he dares to get rough, she will waste him! She secretly swept Liu Chang's figure - uh, this is a bit difficult, but it's something to try. Even if it just couldn't be accomplished, but at the very least it could be defeated, who would dare to sleep with a woman who counted on her lifeblood? Even if one is repudiated for it instead of being reconciled, then one would still recognize it. 　　Liu Chang froze, only to see Peony hanging her head, her long curly thick eyelashes flickering slightly under the shadow of the candle, and you could see her jaw clenched to death, her eyes were furious. For some reason, there were a few leaps in his heart, "You're angry today?" 　　Peony raised her eyes to look at him and said sincerely, "Actually, I'm not angry and I don't mind. Don't worry, if someone comes to ask me, I promise I won't say anything." Of course, there was no need for her to say anything now, people already knew. 　　Although Liu Chang was half-drunk, he could plainly see that Peony's eyes really didn't have sadness and disillusionment in them, but rather a vague disgust as well as gloating. This discovery made him very angry, on second thought, he felt that he had actually misread the situation, how could Peony not be sad? When she first saw him and Qing Hua say a few more words, she would be so upset, now how could she suddenly change her nature? Desire to capture, desire to capture, that's how it is. Women, when they say no, they often say yes. What do they really want with her? If you want to, take over is, anyway, always have to be serious to give birth to a first son. 　　Thinking of this, Liu Chang no longer bothered with Peony, and went to the back of the screen, took off his clothes and entered the bath tub. Peony turned her face sideways, her back to the screen, listening to the sound of the water, secretly screaming that it was bad luck, three steps forward to the makeup box, turned out a small silver scissors to hide in her sleeve, looking at the candle wicks dazed. 　　The candlewick "snapped" and Peony was about to take the scissors to cut the candlewick, when she suddenly heard Liu Chang saying behind the screen, "What did you say to your cousin today?" 　　Peony faintly said, "Nothing, just that Hu Hu's dance was very good, and cousin said that he had seen better dancers than Hu Hu from the Western Frontier. The value of the body is not as expensive as Hu Xun Er." 　　Liu Chang pointedly said, "Could it be that you still want to buy one to keep like others? You don't even look at your own status! If you don't learn from the good ones, you'll learn from the bad ones, and in the future, you'll have less dealings with Li Nympho!" 　　Peony smiled gently, "I know very well, I myself am at the mercy of others and still have to endure the humiliation, even if I really buy it, it is still harming others, not buying it is a virtue." 　　There was a silence behind the screen, just when Peony thought that Liu Chang had drowned in the bath water, he suddenly said in a hard tone, "You come and rub my back! Speaking of which, after three years of marriage, you've never done anything for me!" 　　Peony sat still and sneered back, "I wonder what you've done again?" 　　Liu Chang sneered, "That's what you owe me!" 　　Peony almost blurted out, then let's make peace, you don't owe me, I don't owe you, don't be a deadbeat. But as soon as she thought of Liu Chang's character, she stiffly swallowed her words back and sighed instead, "Yes, who told me that my body is not good, and that I even need to rush the wedding? In fact, I also think that it would be better if I was born in a poor family, where there is so much money for me to spoil ah? Let me die of illness, let me die of illness, so as not to harm several poor families. Harming my parents, harming you, and harming my own family even more." 　　The air suddenly stopped flowing, and Peony could clearly hear Liu Chang's breathing thickening. She thought comfortably, "I'm so angry with you, you scum, don't you hate it when people mention this? I'm going to remind you of the most humiliating thing you've ever done, I'll see if you're still fuming or not. 　　"Ta-da!" With a loud bang, the four silver pinto landscape pattern screens were violently pushed down by Liu Chang, "clattering" a sound of water, Liu Chang stood up with his body from the bath tub, glaring fiercely at Peony, as if he wanted to come out from the tub at any time to beat people, Peony gripped her scissors tightly and glanced at him, only to see his iron green face with black eyes, just like a giant black-faced chicken. Peony gripped the scissors and glanced at him. 　　The giant black-faced chicken was angry, and the consequences were very serious.
