Chapter 254 Xia Rong's Temperament Changes Dramatically

Miss, I remember your kitten named Taki was kept in your little cabin. We didn't bring it here, so why is there a little bell ringing?

Do you think it's possible that Little Hibiscus has come to find us? Maybe at first you'll find the little guy very aloof! He won't let you touch him or hold him in your arms.

But as long as you genuinely love your little one, they will start to become more and more clingy to you.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

When Little Hibiscus heard Xia Rong's voice, she kept calling out in Xia Rong's direction and vigorously shook the little bell hanging on her thigh.

Xia Rong seemed to remember something and immediately handed the kitten she was holding to Taozi. Then she quickly ran in front of the two men in black and blocked their way.

Both of you, stop right there! What are you two doing sneaking around like that?

The young lady's mistress suddenly gave us a task to complete! So...

But why is a kitten's meow coming from inside your clothes? Did Daddy tell you to take Blackie out?

Ah! How...how is that possible? Miss, you know Blackie only lets her owner hold her! If anyone else holds her, she immediately becomes incredibly agitated and restless. Sometimes she even scratches people.

Yes, yes, yes! To be honest, we're most afraid of holding a black girl in our arms!

Haha! Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Do you think I'd believe your nonsense? Don't think I don't know that every time you see Blackie, you all start fighting over who gets to hold her.

Oh dear! Young lady, you haven't lived with the master for many years, so you don't know that he has a peculiar habit! That is, whoever Blackie is willing to hug, that's who our master will favor.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Little Hibiscus knew that Xia Rong was standing right in front of it, so it immediately cried out, intending to jump up and pounce on Xia Rong. However, it was held firmly in the arms of the man in black, unable to move.

"Miss, what are you doing blocking my way? Get out of my way!" a man in black said impatiently.

Heh! You're nothing but my father's dogs! What right do you have to make me step aside?

Miss, please don't be angry! He didn't mean to be disrespectful to you! You know it's already late at night, a time when people are usually drowsy.

But now our master has ordered the two of us to go to the stream not far from here to do something. He says we can only go back to our rooms to sleep after we've finished this task.

Hehe! You two, stop playing games with me! I'm asking you, what's that bulging thing in your clothes?

Little Hibiscus arched her little body and scratched the man in black's stomach with her two little paws.

This terrified the men in black. They were about to throw Xiao Furong out, but then they remembered what Emperor Xia had told them and changed their minds.

At this point, Xia Rong had completely lost her patience and took out the short knife hidden in her sleeve.

Miss, what are you doing? Don't scare Peach! Let's talk this out! Didn't Master always tell you to only take out this dagger as a last resort?

Xia Rong ignored what Taozi said and instead held the short knife to the man in black's chest.

Miss, what are you doing? Is it really not worth getting so angry over a stray cat that came out of nowhere? Besides, you used to be so gentle and kind!

Waaah! Miss, did something happen to you again? Can you tell me what's wrong with you? I really don't want you to become a different person because of something.

Heh! You wretched, lowly servant! Do you even know what you're saying? Do you really understand your young lady like me?

Little girl, I'm giving you a piece of advice: try to mind your own business as little as possible! If you ever dare to interfere again, don't blame me for being rude to you.

Taozi was stunned for a few minutes after hearing what Xia Rong said to her before she reacted, walked to Xia Rong's side, and hugged Xia Rong tightly from behind.

Whenever Taozi holds Xia Rong tightly in her arms for a while, Xia Rong will revert to the gentle and kind Xia Rong she used to be.

But this time, Xia Rong didn't change at all! In fact, she very disapprovingly removed Tao Zi's hands from her waist. This simple action by Xia Rong made Tao Zi feel extremely uncomfortable!

Because she saw disgust on Xia Rong's face that she had never seen before. Although she was Xia Rong's maid, Xia Rong never put on airs like a young lady in front of her.

Just as Taozi was about to say something to Xia Rong, she heard a loud slap as Xia Rong slapped her hard across the face.

Who do you think you are? How dare you hug me with your filthy hands? Get as far away from me as possible and never show your face again.

Peach instinctively covered the spot where Xia Rong had hit her, staring at Xia Rong in astonishment. In Peach's memory, her young mistress had never hit her before.

Xia Rong has always regarded Tao Zi as her elder sister, and she would never scold her or hit her for trivial matters.

No! No! No! Miss, didn't I tell you that I would stay by your side for the rest of my life? Weren't you happy when you heard me say that?

Peach shook her little head frantically as she spoke sadly. At this moment, Peach was already crying her eyes out.

Because she couldn't understand why Xia Rong, who was her best little miss just yesterday, had changed so drastically overnight.

Was it because Mu Long said so many heartless things to the young lady that she became like this? When Taozi thought of this, she couldn't help but harbor resentment towards Mu Long.

Waaaaah! Damn you, Yang Mulong! If you don't like my little miss, then get the hell out of here! Why did you have to say so many hurtful things to her?

Have you forgotten how precious our young lady used to be to you? How could you possibly break her heart?

Hahaha!

Xia Rong burst into laughter upon hearing Tao Zi's words. "Do you think your little mistress is a high and mighty princess? Does everyone have to obey and follow her?"

The two men in black standing in front of Xia Rong were also stunned at this moment, thinking that if their master knew that the young lady had gone mad, he would definitely try every means to torture them.
