Chapter 273: Dogs biting dogs, both covered in fur

Du Mingzhu slowly raised her eyebrows and eyes.

The young girl in front of her was about the same age as herself, and although she was bruised and swollen, it could still be seen that she was quite attractive.

Judging by her clothing and attire, she should be someone's maid.

Heh, a mere maid dares to be so arrogant; if it were in their Du mansion, she would have long been chopped up and used as fertilizer for the flowers.

Du Mingzhu turned her face away coldly, ignoring her.

Low-class people are not worthy of speaking to her.

"Hey, are you deaf?" Seeing Du Mingzhu's disdainful posture, Jin Que felt a bit embarrassed, so she raised her volume. "Apologize!"

Du Mingzhu only coldly spat out one word, "Get lost."

Jin Que, "..."

She was instantly enraged by shame.

It was one thing for the young master to tell her to get lost, after all, he was her master, and she didn't dare not to listen.

But that didn't mean anyone could humiliate her at will!

"What kind of thing are you, to dare to tell me to get lost?"

Jin Que put her hands on her hips, squinting at Du Mingzhu, and sneered, "If anyone should get lost, it should be you. This ship was chartered by my young master and the others. Saving you and letting you hitch a ride for free is already being benevolent and righteous. You don't even say thank you, and you actually want to be the guest who usurps the host's role? Where is your face?"

As she spoke, her gaze wandered over Du Mingzhu, looking as if she had suddenly realized something.

"Oh, I know, you didn't have a face to begin with. If you had a face, why would you not even dare to show it?"

"Covering it with a tattered garment, could it be that you are too ugly to be seen?"

The word "ugly" successfully poked Du Mingzhu's sore spot.

Du Mingzhu stared at her fixedly, cold light flickering in her eyes. She slowly stood up, raised her hand, and used all her strength to slap Jin Que across the face fiercely.

Squeezing the sound through her teeth, "Bitch, you're courting death!"

Jin Que didn't expect her reaction to be so intense. Caught off guard, her head was knocked to the side, and she spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The blood even contained a tooth.

This scene left the onlookers stunned.

They had been worried about this veiled girl earlier, fearing she would be bullied by the Bian family's maid, but now it seemed their worry was unnecessary; the two were evenly matched, and neither was easy to provoke.

Fine, then let's just wait and see.

Jin Que was about to go crazy with anger. With a howl, she pounced on Du Mingzhu. "I'll beat you to death, beat you to death!"

She rode on top of Du Mingzhu, scratching and clawing.

Du Mingzhu let out a muffled groan of pain, reaching out to push Jin Que away, but she didn't budge.

In terms of physical strength, she was no match for Jin Que at all.

That time with the cockroach poison had almost cost her her life. Although she was saved by Wen Shiyuan, the aftereffects were extremely severe; not only was her face ruined and disfigured, but her internal health was also extremely weak.

Wen Shiyuan had once warned that she would need at least half a year of rest to fully recover her vitality.

And now it had only been two or three months.

Plus, having been locked up by those water bandits for several days, her body and mind were traumatized, and she had only just recovered. Let alone fighting, she had to rest every three steps she walked.

"You shameless slut, pay for my tooth, pay for my tooth!" Jin Que pressed Du Mingzhu onto the floor and rubbed her hard.

The crowd couldn't remain calm anymore.

Someone immediately shouted, "Stop fighting, you'll kill someone if you keep fighting!"

"Exactly, killing someone will lead to a lawsuit!"

"Miss Jin Que, if you don't stop, I'm going to call your young master..."

Hearing Bian Dou Dou's name, Jin Que finally restrained herself a bit, opened her mouth, and spat a mouthful of bloody water at Du Mingzhu. "For the sake of everyone pleading for you, I'll spare you for today. Keep your eyes bright in the future and don't offend just anyone, hmph."

After finishing, she stood up from Du Mingzhu with hatred.

Thinking it still wasn't enough to vent her anger, she suddenly reached out and forcefully tore off the outer garment covering Du Mingzhu's head.

You're so afraid of others seeing your face, then I'll make sure you're exposed in front of everyone!

The next moment, her eyes suddenly widened.

Following that, a scream that shook the heavens and moved the earth erupted from the depths of her throat, "Ahhh, a ghost!!"

(I'm having such a bad writer's block that I'm collapsing, I'm crying, I will definitely make it up tomorrow. Also, don't ask where the Jiang family went, I'll write about it in the next chapter.) ===== CHAPTER 274 =====
