CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: MISS CHAI, SOMETHING HAPPENED?

Li Yuzhu tilted her head, staring at the basket with squinted eyes.

Was the one who abused these rabbits Miss Chai from the Chai Family?

Could there be something wrong with Miss Chai?

"What is the meaning of this from your family?" the Second Young Master asked coldly, "Why treat the rabbits like this?"

"Don’t like rabbits so you cut off their ears? Are you crazy?" Old Third, Li Xing’an, was also angry.

Li Yuzhu wasn’t afraid at all; she stepped out from behind Mu Yuanxiu and said coldly, "Housekeeper, isn’t your family going to give an explanation?"

"Aren’t they just a few rabbits? I never said I wouldn’t compensate," the housekeeper took a small cloth bag from his sleeve and tossed it to the Second Young Master, "Here are fifty coins, take it, and take the rabbits too."

After saying this, he patted his sleeve and turned to leave.

"What? Only fifty coins?" the Second Young Master sneered, "Even buying rabbit pups would cost more than that. You’re only offering fifty coins?"

"We don’t want these fifty coins; we just want live rabbits!" Li Xing’an also said angrily.

The Second Young Master said coldly, "Fifty coins? Are you trying to shoo away a beggar? As per our agreed price, five hundred coins for each, you owe us three thousand coins, then we’ll let this go, otherwise, this won’t end!"

The two brothers were once domineering young nobles in the Capital, always bullying others. They were furious at the sudden reversal of fortune and couldn’t control their tempers.

The housekeeper turned around, rolled up his sleeves, and sneered, "Heh, won’t end? Let’s see how you dare to not end it. Xi Zi, Old Futou, beat them for me!"

He waved his hand towards the gatekeeper and the servant.

Both of them approached the Second Young Master and his group together.

Mu Yuanxiu stood in the middle, "Housekeeper Chai, the price was set by you. If you don’t want the rabbits, just make peace with them. Killing them and paying only fifty coins is not enough! Even six chicks at the market cost sixty coins; compensating only fifty for six rabbits is unreasonable anywhere."

"And who are you, little brat? Get lost!" Housekeeper Chai was furious, raising his fist to hit Mu Yuanxiu.

Mu Yuanxiu sneered, "If you beat us up, your Miss’s reputation will be ruined, Housekeeper Chai, still want to hit?"

Housekeeper Chai’s raised fist froze in mid-air, not daring to strike.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He withdrew his fist, chagrined yet angry.

His expression clearly looked like someone whose tail had been stepped on.

Li Yuzhu narrowed her eyes, something about Miss Chai?

Mu Yuanxiu coldly continued, "Housekeeper Chai, if someone asks why we were beaten, we can only tell the truth: Miss Chai was unwell and in a bad mood, abused the rabbits to death, we wanted compensation for the rabbits, Housekeeper Chai refused to pay and beat people."

The Second Young Master picked up on the underlying message, saying calmly, "We don’t want to ruin your Miss’s reputation. We just want our money back. Three thousand coins, give it to us, and we’ll leave immediately."

Li Xing’an laughed heartily, adding, "Indeed, who cares if your Miss is sick or not? We’re just rabbit sellers, pay up, those three thousand coins aren’t much for your family, anyway."

"You brat, how dare you slander our Miss and say she’s sick? Are you looking to die?" Housekeeper Chai was furious, rolling up his sleeves and charging at Li Xing’an.

Mu Yuanxiu drew out the hatchet from his waist, blocking Housekeeper Chai with a swish, "If she’s not sick, why kill the rabbits?"

The hatchet gleamed brightly, scaring Housekeeper Chai into quickly retreating.

"What are you doing? Causing trouble, are you? Little brats, tired of living?" Housekeeper Chai waved to the servant, "Go call people! Break these brats’ legs for me!"
