Chapter 4 The Punishment (Part One)

As soon as Wendy arrived at the mansion, she saw Judy walking up and down anxiously in front of the door. Seeing Wendy, Judy was relieved, trotted up to her and said, "Miss, you're finally back. Prime Minister had sent someone to ask you go to the front hall to see him after you come back."

"My father?" Wendy frowned slightly. She almost forgot that she still had a father. If it was not her father, she would not have such a miserable life. She would not have been deceived by Olivia and Alice together, and then compressed and killed!

Judy stared at Wendy in confusion. She felt that Wendy looked weird when she talked about Prime Minister. It didn't seem like that.

"Miss!" "Miss, why are you still here? Prime Minister is waiting for you in the front hall," said Lucy, to the face of Wendy.

With these words, Lucy stretched out her hand to Wendy. Wendy's face darkened. She slapped Lucy hard across the face!

"How dare you!"

Shocked by the slap, Lucy was unable to react for a long time. Then Lucy roared angrily, "How dare you hit me!"

"Help." Wendy called coldly.

"My Miss."

"Drag down this damn maid who offended me and flog her for 30 times!" Wendy asked coldly, without the slightest trace of sympathy on her cold face.

It took a long time for Lucy to respond, "I'm sorry, Miss. I was just worried that Miss would be blamed for being late. Please forgive my impoliteness, Miss."

Looking at Lucy coldly, Wendy could not help feeling resentful when she thought of the fact that Lucy, Wanda and Avery conspired with Alice to harm her. "What are you waiting for? Let's put it off!"

"What..." The servant looked at Wendy, wondering why she suddenly wanted to do so. After all, as the eldest daughter, who used to be weak and easy to bully, she liked Lucy very much. How come she hit Lucy suddenly?

"How dare you bully me? Do you want me to tell my father and sell you out?" The others were startled by Wendy's angry rebuke. They couldn't help but cast another glance at Wendy. They had a bad feeling about her.

"Miss." As soon as Wanda came in, she saw Lucy was about to be hit. She immediately knelt down, and said, "Miss, I don't know what fault did Lucy make you angry?"

Wendy cast a cold glance at Wanda, making Wanda trembling with fear. Wendy's eyes were cold and emotionless, as if she was looking at a dead man. Wanda's words of pleading were choked in her throat, and she didn't dare to utter one more word.

"Put it off." Judy yelled, "What? Do you want to bully Miss?"

"We don't dare."

"Wanda, please help me! Wanda..." Hearing the threatening words from the Wendy, Lucy was thrown into a panic.

Wanda stood behind Wendy, and said, "Lucy, you made Miss Wendy angry. You should intercede with her. I'm just her maid. I'll do whatever she tells me."

"Hit!" Wendy ordered without holding for Lucy's interceding.

The servants didn't care about anything else. They just needed to obey the orders of their master. Although Miss Wendy was not favored by the Prime Minister, her mother was still the Mistress of the mansion and she was the eldest daughter!

"Oh, Miss, please forgive me. I'm sorry." Lucy kept begging, "Miss, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I did it. I swear I won't do it again..."

Wendy watched the hitting with cold eyes and saw Lucy pass out after it was done. Then Lucy was thrown to the woodshed and Wendy brought Judy to the front hall.

Looking at Wendy's back, Wanda gritted her teeth and walked towards Alice's yard. She had to tell Miss Alice about Miss Wendy's strange behavior.

As soon as Wendy entered the front hall, she saw the Prime Minister and Olivia sitting there. Wendy walked up to them and said politely, "Good evening, father."

"Wendy, where have you been? Why are you so late?" Olivia asked with a malicious smile.

Wendy smiled at her and said to Prime Minister, "Father, I was out."

"How dare you! Your coming of age ceremony is around the corner. As a daughter of a well-educated family, you shouldn't go out and show up in public. Our mansion is strictly guarded. How can you be so reckless?" Prime Minister pounded on the table and shouted angrily.

Without getting angry or afraid, Wendy calmly answered, "Father, I'm preparing for my coming of age ceremony. I wanted to embroider a new skill, so I just went to the embroidering boudoir to select patterns."

Hearing that, Prime Minister frowned tightly. Seeing that, Olivia said quickly, "Wendy, your father is also worried about you. Our mansion has very strict rules. As the eldest daughter of the mansion, you represent its dignity. Your father didn't mean to blame you."

"Auntie." Wendy smiled at Olivia, "The Mistress is still here. You are sitting at her spot. If others see you, they may think that my father is going to spoil the concubine over the principal wife. They may think that our mansion has no rules. Auntie better come down now. Don't discredit my father and our mansion."

Olivia's face instantly turned deathly pale. She pointed at Wendy, trembling, and wanted to scold her. However, she was held up and dragged away from the seat of the Mistress by Wendy. Wendy said, "Auntie must be the one who pays the most attention to mansion's dignity. Since my mother's health is not good, you have to deal with concubine work in the mansion on behalf of her. I'm here to thank you. But Auntie is also pregnant now, you shall be more careful. "

Prime Minister frowned and looked at his daughter in confusion. This daughter was always timid in front of him, but today she became bold and calm in the face of his anger.

"Father, the coming of age ceremony will be held in seven days. Tomorrow I want to see grandfather and grandmother. Would you like to go?" Noticing Prime Minister wanted to say something, Wendy reminded him.

"Grandpa and grandma are getting old, and mother is pregnant now, so she can't be a dutiful daughter in front of them. I hope I can take care of them for her. Please do me the favor."
