Chapter 18: Elder Sister

As a result, the butler led a group of servants, each of whom held a wooden stick, and fiercely marched towards the courtyard.

Hence this dilapidated servant’s courtyard turned out rather lively today. Juxiang was terrified and dropped to her knees before the butler. “Butler, please spare my life. I haven’t eaten for two days. Today, I stole a bun in the kitchen. When Fat Aunty got angry, this lady happened to pass by. She definitely didn’t intend to cause trouble.” After kowtowing, Juxiang stood up and pulled Wunian behind her.”

Even though her sister did not recognize her at this point, she subconsciously protected her. Indeed, her elder sister was her only family in this world.

Wunian thought that to avoid trouble in the future, she’d better not use force! She said in her sea of consciousness, “Wood Spirit, let the head of this family bring my sister’s indenture and volunteer to release her!”

“Yes, Master.” An innocent, child-like innocent voice sounded in her mind. Then, it flew out at lightning speed. Of course, this was only visible to Wunian.

Not long afterwards, another group of people rushed over. The servants parted and made way for them.

A big-faced, rotund middle-aged man in his forties ran over and shouted, “What’s going on?”

The butler hurriedly explained, “Old Master, this unruly commoner and this lowly servant colluded to plot against Fat Aunty. Look.” The butler pointed at Fat Aunty, who was kneeling beside him.

“How dare you! Who are you calling a lowly servant! I had invited this lady to our residence so that she may take the servant girl away. Also, take this indenture and go to the government to cancel your slave status. Go quickly! I’ll wait here.”

The butler was dumbfounded, but he didn’t dare to disobey. Juxiang stood in front of Wunian and lowered her head, not daring to look at the old master of the Chen family. Under her sleeve, her hands were trembling. Wunian’s hand gently held her sister’s hand. Juxiang was stunned. She recognized this feeling. It was the same feeling of her little sister holding her hand when they were young! Juxiang suddenly turned around, her eyes filled with tears. Wunian whispered, “Big Sister, we’ll talk when we get out of here!”

Juxiang turned around and gently squeezed her sister’s hand in response.

After ten minutes, the butler ran back in a hurry and handed the indenture contract and the cancellation document to Wunian. Wunian took the two documents and got Guang Zhi to assess if they were real. Guang Zhi nodded and said, “That’s right, they’re real.” Wunian then stuffed them into her sleeve and placed them into her own small space. Old Master Chen said to Wunian with a grin, “Do you… have any other instructions now?”

Wunian turned to look at her sister and asked, “Big Sister, has anyone else here bullied you in the past?”

Juxiang shook her head and said, “Forget it, let’s go!” As servants, which of them didn’t want their master’s family to value them? Juxiang could understand all this.

Wunian said to Old Master Chen, “I hope that your son will destroy Tian Weixin! I have expectations of you!” After saying this, Wunian held her elder sister’s hand and left pompously through the main door.

Old Master Chen came back to his senses and shouted at the servants, “Why are you all standing here? Don’t you have your own work to do? If anyone speaks about what happened today, I have his tongue removed. Disperse!”

The servants bowed their heads, muttering that they wouldn’t dare, and then left. Old Master Chen was left contemplating. Who was it who said that his son was to destroy Tian Weixin? He couldn’t think who said it, but it was something he had to do.

In the meantime, Juxiang held Wunian’s hand as they walked two streets down and came to an alley. She asked, “Are you really my younger sister, Wunian?”

With tears in her eyes, Wunian nodded desperately. There was no need to prove anything. Wunian’s features were still recognizable. Only, she couldn’t believe it earlier on, so she didn’t recognize her immediately.

After six years, the two sisters finally found themselves in each other’s arms again. Both of them could not stop crying.

“Big Sister, I won’t let you suffer anymore,”

“Little Sister, how have you been these past few years? Tell Big Sister.”

“Uh huh. Big Sister, we’ll return to Liuxia Village and look for that family. We must let them feel our pain ten times over.”

Juxiang was stunned. “Are we still going back to Liuxia Village? What if…”

“No, Big Sister, don’t worry. We’ve suffered so much, they deserve a taste of their own medicine! Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll protect Big Sister!”

“Uh huh, from now on I’ll be by Little Sister’s side, no matter what you do!”
