After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Watching Sister Ting’s Dominant Performance

Lu Jingyan and the others followed Li Muchen upstairs, already in the bedroom accompanying Lu Sheng, when Jiang Ting was still on the first floor, carefully arranging for people to place the vase she brought.

Only after watching the butler set the vase properly did she just start to go upstairs, when she heard these two old aunts with loose lips and advanced years, standing at the bedroom door complaining and gossiping.

Their voices weren’t even loud, but her ears were sharp.

She silently moved closer, standing half a meter behind them, clearly hearing every word they said.

Jiang Ting had one quality – she was fiercely protective of her children.

Not to mention her biological sons. Back when she hadn’t seen Lu Qianrou’s true nature, Jiang Ting treated Lu Qianrou as her most beloved daughter, indulgent and protective, never allowing her to suffer the slightest grievance.

And now, after going through those past events, Jiang Ting had long since started treating Lu Sheng as her own daughter, and she also harbored guilt for the deceased Du Ran.

So, hearing these two aunts behind her slandering Du Ran and Lu Sheng, calling them a cheap woman and a little bastard, she instantly flew into a rage.

She didn’t care if she was in the Lu Family or the Li Family, since she had always been someone who preferred action over words in dealing with people she disliked.

Without a second thought, Jiang Ting reached out and with a couple of strong slaps, strongly berated them with her words as well as her hands.

She had slapped them – she wasn’t unaware that this was Li Family’s home and that Li Muchen was in the bedroom. Was she supposed to be afraid of Li Muchen finding out?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Muchen came out of the bedroom, before she could even clarify how these servants had insulted their future Young Madam, that Aunt Li reversed the narrative.

Heh.

She swayed dramatically and started crying and wiping her tears, claiming they had just been talking when Jiang Ting rushed up and slapped each of them. She even urged Li Muchen to take their side.

What a thing to claim.

When the commotion started, not only did Li Muchen come out, but so did Lu Jingyan and the others.

Seeing the swollen faces of the two servants, it was clear they had been slapped hard. And hearing Aunt Li’s tearful tale, even Lu Jingyan was momentarily baffled: "...Mom, what happened here?"

That was precisely what Aunt Li was waiting for.

Before Jiang Ting could respond to Lu Jingyan’s question, Aunt Li, with hair disheveled and covering the slapped cheek, began to sob her complaint to Li Muchen.

"Master, I had just finished serving tea when I was talking with Mrs. Wang outside, discussing my daughter’s affairs."

"Out of nowhere, Mrs. Lu, I don’t know if she misheard something or what, came up and slapped Mrs. Wang. I was startled and went to pull her away but she slapped me too!"

"Master, Mrs. Wang and I are almost sixty years old. We have been with the family since the lady first married here, and we watched you grow up."

"Even though we work as servants in the Li Family, we are not the lowly slaves people could abuse and mistreat in the olden days! And we certainly aren’t to be slapped and scolded at will, right?"

"Moreover, even the lord, the lady, and you, Master, have never raised a hand or shouted at us. But Mrs. Lu, an outsider, hitting us on her first visit!"

"Master, if you do not stand up for us, we would truly die of humiliation!"

Aunt Li cried as she spoke.
