Young Master Duanmu had only arrived the day before, yet someone was already restless enough to try climbing into her bed-and that someone was a maid from Madam Yu's own courtyard.
Madam Yu cared deeply about her reputation. This was nothing short of a slap in her face!
She would never let that wretched girl off!
When Madam Yu and the others arrived, they saw Lühe lying on the ground, groaning incessantly.
Madam Yu frowned and asked,
"What happened to her?"
The patrol captain explained,
"Madam, Young Master Duanmu struck Lühe with a palm blow. She can't get up."
Duanmu Rui explained,
"I was bathing when someone suddenly appeared. I warned her to leave, but instead of retreating, she came closer. In the heat of the moment, I struck a little too hard..."
Madam Yu's expression darkened further at those words, and Yu Haochuan's looked little better!
Madam Yu ordered the servants,
"Someone drag this wretched maid away and beat her to death!"
Bihe immediately began kowtowing over and over.
"Madam, please spare me just this once! I'll never dare do it again!"
Madam Yu said in disgust,
"Drag her away!"
"Yes, Madam."
In truth, Bihe had already foreseen this outcome the moment her attempt to climb into Duanmu Rui's bed failed.
But she refused to accept it!
Had she known Duanmu Rui was a woman, she would never have tried to climb into her bed, even if someone had beaten her to death!
Indeed, after Duanmu Rui sent her flying with a palm strike and leaped out of the bathtub to get dressed, Bihe had seen her body perfectly clearly!
Why would a perfectly fine young woman disguise herself as a man?
And cause her to make such a mistake?
If Duanmu Rui hadn't disguised herself as a man,
