Chapter 656: Liu Qing and Cheng Gui (3)

Father Liu found out about Ming Shu running out of the woodshed and hitting First Young Lady. He asked the butler to call Ming Shu over. However, the butler didn’t find her in her room. There was no sign of her in the entire Liu residence.

It was evening when Ming Shu appeared at the main door holding a packet of snacks. She had changed into a new set of clothes.

“Second Young Lady, where did you go?” The butler quickly welcomed her with an irritated face.

“I went to town.” Ming Shu tilted her head. “Did something happen?”

Yunli Village was just a village. There wasn’t much food to eat here. She needed to go to town to find food. Luckily, the town was not far away from the village.

“Aiyo, Master has been looking for you for half a day. He is really angry,” the butler said. “You should hurry up and go over now. Master is still waiting for you. You must apologize later, don’t make Master angry again.”

“I am tired.” Ming Shu closed her lips and smiled. She walked to her own room. “I will go back and rest.”

“Second Young Lady?” The butler looked at Ming Shu, stunned. Why is Second Young Lady…

Ming Shu refused to see Father Liu. Father Liu was so furious he came to find Ming Shu in her room.

“Liu Qing, open the door!”

He pounded the door furiously. Ming Shu lay on her bed. Is he done?

She got down and opened the door.

Father Liu was just preparing to hit the door when the door suddenly opened. Father Liu’s hand stopped in midair.

“Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? Have you all eaten too much?” Ming Shu leaned against the door and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Father Liu. “I hit her. What do you want to do? Are you planning to chase me out?”

Father Liu’s question got stuck in his throat.

If she denied it, it was still okay. However, she just admitted it so blatantly…

Father Liu’s chest rose and fell twice. He said in a loud and clear voice, “Do you still see me as your father? You hit your sister and even stole things. Where did all the rules you learned go!”

“I didn’t learn them.” What are rules? Can they be eaten?

Father Liu: “…”

“Did you take the bank notes?”

“Bank notes? I didn’t take them. That has nothing to do with me.” I will not get Hatred Points from taking this blame. I will not take it.

“If it was not you, who else can it be? Xinyue saw you doing it.” Father Liu didn’t believe her.

“Maybe she took it.” Ming Shu rolled her eyes. “Did you see me taking it or did you find it from my place?”

Father Liu choked. When he locked her up in the woodshed, he sent people to search her place. However, they didn’t find anything.

Father Liu’s gaze landed on Ming Shu’s body. “Where did you get these clothes? Where did you get the money from?”

Yes!

If she didn’t take the bank notes, how did she buy these new clothes?

“Oh, I took them from your daughter.” Ming Shu smiled. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. Maybe your daughter took the money.”

After she hit Liu Xinyue, she took her money bag too. If not, where would she get the money to buy snacks?

“You are still trying to frame Xinyue!” Father Liu said with disbelief. “Why did you become like this?”

“Oh, as long as you are happy.” Ming Shu shrugged nonchalantly.

“You… you unfilial daughter!” Father Liu’s face turned red with anger. “I can’t educate you now, right?”

“Probably?” Ming Shu nodded her head. “It is good that you know your own position well.”

Can you educate me?

Even my snacks won’t agree to it.

Fire almost spurted out of Father Liu’s eyes. He raised his hand and made to slap Ming Shu.

Ming Shu quickly shrunk back. There were smiles in her eyes. “Hey, you didn’t hit me.”

Father Liu glared at her.

You dare to dodge!

Is she trying to rebel!

“Butler, butler, catch this unfilial daughter!” Father Liu pointed at Ming Shu. “I don’t believe that I can’t educate her today.”

The butler trembled as he came forward. His forehead was covered with cold sweat.

“Master…”

“What are you doing? Are you rebelling against me too?”

The butler got shouted at and immediately agreed to the request. He walked toward Ming Shu and persuaded her in a low voice, “Second Young Lady, don’t bicker with Master. He is really angry now. You can just take a step back and apologize.”

“No way.” What did I do wrong? I was locked up in the woodshed the moment I came and there wasn’t any food given to me. Do I look like I can be bullied easily!

“Bring the cane over!” Father Liu suddenly shouted.

He must punish this unfilial daughter of his today. She was so disrespectful. Was the Liu family a place for her to be unreasonable and make a scene?

The person behind him didn’t dare to say anything and quickly went to grab the cane. It was a really thick cane. Father Liu took it and aimed it at Ming Shu.

“Master, Master…” The butler stopped Father Liu. “Just talk it out. Second Young Lady didn’t do it on purpose. Calm down.”

“Move away.” Father Liu pushed the butler away. “I must beat this unfilial daughter to death today.”

Oh my god!

You want to beat me to death in order to inherit my snacks?

Evil!

Ming Shu immediately rushed back to her room and slammed the door shut. Father Liu almost hit his nose. His face turned hideous.

Father Liu kicked the door with a black face. “Liu Qing, open the door.”

“Am I stupid. If you have the ability, come in and hit me.” Ming Shu grabbed things to block the door and then sat at the side with her snacks. She lifted her legs and ate her snacks.

Pengpengpeng—

The door made loud sounds from the kicking. Ming Shu looked up at the door. How long can it last?

Ming Shu decided to run away first.

She would come back tomorrow.

After making the decision, she instantly took action. Ming Shu packed her snacks and jumped out of the window. She even shouted, “I will leave first. You all can continue.”

Father Liu, who was kicking the door at the front, heard her voice and came to the back angrily. He looked around and saw Ming Shu on the wall at the side.

“Get down!”

“Bye bye.”

Ming Shu jumped down from the wall. Even on the other side of the wall, she could hear the angry shouts of Father Liu.

Hatred Points, are you going to give me Hatred Points for Father Liu?

[Father Liu is just a normal NPC.] This means that his Hatred Points are not worthy. We don’t want it. We need to have aspirations.

Ming Shu: “…”

I didn’t know you were this kind of system.

[Guest, why don’t we do a time-limit task?] The Harmony System suddenly urged her.

Ming Shu clicked her tongue. “How many different kinds of tasks do you have?”

[Do you want to do it?]

Ming Shu: “Are there a lot of Hatred Points?”

[Yes.]

“I am not doing it.”

[???] You are not doing it even if there are a lot of Hatred Points? Don’t you want your snacks?

“You are tempting me to do bad things again. I am not as stupid as you. One look and I know that this task is not something proper.” I have money now. Let’s go and find some food.

[You can consider it, Guest. Time-limit tasks have a lot of Hatred Points and don’t require a lot of time.] The Harmony System continued persuading her.

Ming Shu thought for a while. “Tell me the task first.”

[It is very simple. Not far away from the village, there is an army protecting some food supplies. All you need to do is burn their food supplies.]

“Burn food supplies?” Ming Shu touched her chin. “Aren’t I in farming mode? Why do I need to burn food supplies?”

[Free Hatred Points. If you don’t get them, it would be a waste,] the Harmony System said seriously.

Ming Shu swallowed two mouthfuls of snacks. “I just feel that you have no good intentions.”

[…] It is not good for Guest to think of it this way. I am doing this for Hatred Points!
