THE ACT (2)

"My dear daughter. I'm really sorry"

Madam Ning's face is full of emotions.

"Shufen is okay"

She faked a smile but her tears still fell.

"Mother is really sorry"

The servant who who was with her earlier wanted to laugh so hard. He knew that she was only acting and her acting is very convincing if he didn't know what she reall is.

Shufen looked at him and her eyes was full of mocking.

'That woman is being played in her hands, It's getting interesting.' He thought.

"MADAAAAM"

They heard a very loud footsteps and a loud voice. Shufen knew at this point that this will be the beginning of their end.

The servant immediately opened the door and pant before staring at Madam Ning.

"What now? I'm with my daughter"

"Ma-madam I-i I"

"Speak clearly. I can't understand you"

"M-madam I-i saw a man i-inside y-young miss' room when I was cleaning it"

Shufen' s eyes was cold as she knew what will this woman do to her. Madam Ning trembled in anger and pushed Shufen quickly.

"Yo-you fucking bitch"

As expected, Madam Ning didn't let her speak and just pushed her hard.

"Ugh. Mo-mother"

Shufen's back hit the wood so hard. She could feel the pain in her back, she was pushed too hard.

"Don't call me mother! You are a bitch! You're a daughter of a noble and you act like this. You're no worse than the ones who work at a brothel. Let's go see the man."

Madam Ning yelled at her and grabbed her hair hard. Shufen enjured the pain, she could only put her hands on her head so that it will make her feel less pain.

'Patience' She thought

Madam Ning walked so fast and Shufen could only bit her lower lip. This already happened on the past but the pain when your hair is being grabbed is literally making her want to slit this woman's neck.

"Mother! What are you doing to Shufen?!"

Yaling was running towards them and slaps Madam Ning's hands away from her hair.

"Yaling! That bitch hid a man in her room!"

Madam Ning yelled at her and grabbed Yaling's hands. Yaling didn't listen and just glared at Madam Ning.

"Are you okay?" Yaling asked her with full of care. Shufen sobbed before nodding. Yaling was sad with herself for not being with her little sister and dissappointed with their mother.

"Mother. Who said it?"

Her voice was calm as she lookes at her mother. Yaling was kneeling while hugging Shufen.

"A servant told me"

Madam Ning was really mad but she got it under her control. She won't yell at her daughter.

"That servant come out"

Her voice was cold and intimidating. All the servants was silent and no one was moving, not even an inch.

"WHAT? YOU WON'T MOVE? OR DO YOU WANT ME TO BREAK YOUR LEGS WHERE YOU STAND!"

Yaling yelled and her voice echoed in the place. A female servant was trembling as she walked forward.
