Chapter 11

“Ah!”

“There’s a snake!”

“I’ve been bitten!”

“My bed is full of poisonous spiders!”

“This is bad! There are poisonous scorpions in our room!”

“I’ve been stung by a scorpion!”

The guards were jolted awake in the middle of the night by the stinging pain.

Everyone hurriedly got up to strike flint and light the oil lamps.

They discovered a pile of poisonous snakes and insects in the room.

The guards had all suffered to varying degrees.

Those bitten by the bamboo leaf green snake were the worst off, with swollen wounds that had already made them faint from the pain.

“Quick, go notify Butler Lin and ask the house doctor to come save us!”

The guard captain instructed those who were less injured to go find help.

“Butler Lin, something terrible has happened in the guardhouse! We’ve all been bitten by poisonous insects; please call the house doctor to take a look!”

One of them rushed to Butler Lin’s quarters and knocked hard on the door.

Butler Lin, who was cuddling a beautiful maid, was so startled he almost fell out of bed.

“Damn it! I was just about to conquer the world, and you come here with this! Just wait!”

Butler Lin quickly got up from the maid’s side and hurriedly put on his clothes.

“Butler Lin, I’m scared!”

The maid, still in bed, shyly complained.

“What are you scared of? You’re hiding under the covers; no one can see you! Wait until I handle this, then I’ll come back to find you!”

Butler Lin pinched the maid’s cheek, opened the door, and walked out.

Xia Qingqing, lying on the roof, saw what was happening inside and her eyes sparkled.

“Oh my! Butler Lin is almost sixty and still has a maid climbing into his bed. I need to tell Butler Lin’s wife!”

So, Xia Qingqing hurried over to find the housekeeper, Mrs. Lin, in another courtyard.

Mrs. Lin was a plump woman in her fifties; she was not only Butler Lin’s wife but also the housekeeper of the inner courtyard. The couple controlled the managerial power of the Xia residence.

They truly had boundless power, capable of overshadowing all the servants in the Xia residence.

At that moment, Mrs. Lin was sprawled on her bed, snoring loudly, her snores echoing throughout the room.

Xia Qingqing slipped into the room and tapped Mrs. Lin a few times.

“Wake up, wake up, something big has happened!”

“Don’t disturb me while I’m sleeping!”

Mrs. Lin swatted Xia Qingqing’s hand away.

“Oh my! You fat old woman, still sleeping! Your husband, Butler Lin, is out there cheating with a maid, and you can still sleep soundly? I’m really impressed!”

Xia Qingqing yelled while tugging at her ear.

“Oh my God!”

Mrs. Lin was so startled that she sat up in bed.

She looked dazedly at the figure in front of her, her three souls nearly leaving her body.

“Ghost…”

She wanted to scream, but before she could finish, Xia Qingqing covered her mouth.

“Shh!”

“Don’t shout! I’m here to inform you that Butler Lin is rolling in bed with a maid in the courtyard! If you hurry over, you can catch them in the act!”

Mrs. Lin’s anger flared up instantly.

“Hmph!”

“That old man! He said he would settle accounts tonight and wouldn’t come to sleep with me, but it turns out he’s staying up late with a maid!”

Mrs. Lin cursed through gritted teeth.

She scrutinized the girl in front of her with suspicion, “Who are you, and why are you helping me?”

Xia Qingqing smiled slightly beneath her mask, “I’m here to help you. Go check it out! I won’t delay you from doing something important!”

After saying that, she quickly climbed out the window and darted away.

Mrs. Lin shook her head to clear her mind, rolled up her sleeves, picked up a feather duster, and stormed toward the courtyard.

Butler Lin had called the house doctor to examine the guards’ injuries, who was amazed because this was something that had never happened in the Xia residence before. They decided to wait until morning to notify the master and his wife.

Thinking of the beautiful maid waiting for him back in the room, Butler Lin felt restless and couldn’t wait to return.

As soon as he entered the room, he took off his clothes and pounced.

“Beautiful maid, I’m here!”

“Butler, you naughty

Mrs. Lin pulled back the covers and started hitting the two people inside, who were completely naked.

“Wife, what are you doing here?”

Butler Lin saw his wife and was so shocked that he couldn’t even get up.

The maid covered her head and hid.

“What do you mean, how did I come here? If I hadn’t come, you would have kept me in the dark. I thought you were staying up late at the end of the month to settle the accounts! Turns out you’re here on a date with a vixen! Damn it, if I don’t break your butt today, you won’t know how many eyes the mother tiger has!”

Mrs. Lin, holding the feather duster, frantically pressed down on Butler Lin and hit his bare bottom hard.

“Slap! Slap!”

The loud sounds echoed in the night sky. Taking advantage of the chaos, the maid quickly ran out of the room.

The commotion was so loud that the night watchmen heard it and hurried over. When they saw Mrs. Lin teaching Butler Lin a lesson, they gathered at the door to watch, like a crowd of onlookers.

Usually, these two would bully others, showing off their power and authority, but today they were surprised to see them fighting each other.

“Spare me! Please let me go!”

Butler Lin cried out in pain.

“I trusted you so much, and you went behind my back to find a vixen. When morning comes, I’ll have the master deal with it. I must find out which maid it is, and I won’t stop until I beat her to death!”

“Slap! Slap!”

Mrs. Lin cursed as she continued to hit Butler Lin without stopping.

“Oh my! Heavenly Buddha! Help! Someone drag this fat woman away, and I’ll give you ten taels of silver!”

Butler Lin, unable to escape Mrs. Lin’s grasp, saw the crowd at the door and shouted loudly for help.

With a tempting reward, the onlookers rushed into the room to hold Mrs. Lin back.

Butler Lin finally gained his freedom.

“Thank you, brothers, for your help. Let me rest for a moment, and I’ll pay you with silver!”

Butler Lin lay on the bed, panting heavily.

“Butler, hurry and get dressed! You’ll catch a cold!”

Seeing the naked Butler Lin, someone kindly reminded him.

Butler Lin, feeling ashamed and angry, lowered his head, covered his face, got off the bed, and picked up his clothes from the floor to put them on.

“Let me go! I haven’t finished beating him yet!”

Mrs. Lin struggled fiercely.

Four or five patrolling guards held her down tightly, and for the sake of the silver, they wouldn’t let go.

Butler Lin got dressed and walked up to Mrs. Lin, slapping her across the face, “I divorce you!”

“You dare! If you divorce me, I’ll make sure you have a bad end!”

Mrs. Lin glared at him fiercely.

The mansion was lively, buzzing for most of the night.

Xia Qingqing was sleeping soundly, knowing that it would be even more lively when morning came!
