Chapter 113 Returning to the Lin Mansion for the New Year
"Yes! I will live up to your expectations!" Lin Ji clasped his fists, walked to the other side of Daiyu, and whispered, "Zhai Yunxiao has been looking for you. I have asked Huang Yongjin to send someone to contact him."
As he spoke, Lin Ji's eyes revealed a hint of complexity. He glanced at Honglian and continued, "From what he said, it seems that he recognized Honglian's identity as a woman, and he was asking about Honglian in his words."
"Oh?" Daiyu's curiosity was aroused, and she sighed in her heart, she is indeed a beauty, and her luck with women is strong. Just as she cut off one flower, a new one popped up.
Honglian was standing in the center of the martial arts arena, looking like a completely different person than before.
When she first met Honglian in Dongchang Prefecture, she was a little timid. Especially after Nanny Gu asked her to hold the cane, she was like a blooming flower, without having to deliberately cheer herself up, she was naturally full of vitality.
Honglian kicked her opponent to the ground. This scene made the maids around Daiyu cheer in unison. It was hard to tell at all how well-behaved they were when they were under the service of the two maids.
The next one to come on stage is Luluo. She is the most powerful of Daiyu's maids, except for Lanrui.
Although her talent is still inferior to Qingwen's, Daiyu is very satisfied with her current training results.
Lin Ji was sweating profusely as he watched from the sidelines, because he was so ashamed!
These men worked hard in the mansion every day, but they were not as good as the maids around the girls. Of course, it was because of the tonic, but men were naturally stronger than women, and the result was still like this.
He felt deeply incompetent and guilty!
Lingji mustered up his courage, walked up to Daiyu, and suggested, "Miss, why don't you promote another steward in this mansion to teach and supervise them in their practice!"
Daiyu looked at Lingji, her eyebrows slightly raised, a little surprised.
She had previously reminded Lin Ji to take his abilities seriously, but she had never expected that Lin Ji would change his mind so quickly.
She asked, "So what do you think of Lan Rui?"
"This... isn't appropriate." Lin Ji's first reaction was that there was something wrong with this.
"why?"
"She...she is a woman." Lin Ji said hesitantly.
Daiyu snorted, "I am also a woman, and I can still beat you women. In terms of enthusiasm for practicing martial arts, these girls are much better than you. I didn't expect you to be such a pedantic person."
Daiyu ignored Ling Ji and clapped her hands, signaling the two people fighting on the field to stop temporarily.
Everyone's eyes turned to her, not understanding why the action was suddenly stopped.
Daiyu looked around at everyone and asked, "What do you think of Lan Rui's performance?"
"Awesome!" Everyone praised in unison. This is an indisputable fact.
Daiyu nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, I will let Lan Rui be your head coach to supervise your practice. What do you think?"
Lan Rui was stunned when she heard this, and stood there at a loss as to what to do; while the group of men began to whisper, and their responses were sparse, and they were hesitant and unwilling to express their opinions.
Daiyu noticed all these reactions, and paid special attention to those who still firmly supported her. She asked again, "Who disagrees? Stand up and tell us your reasons."
A burly man immediately stepped forward and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Ms. Lan Rui's martial arts skills are naturally beyond doubt, but she is a woman after all. I am worried that I might accidentally offend her during training, and then be punished by Steward Lin. That would be bad."
"Hahahahaha!" Laughter rang out all around, and most people nodded in agreement.
"Does anyone have another reason?"
The field gradually quieted down. At this moment, an unconvinced voice came from the back: "How can we listen to the orders of a woman..."
"Who? Stand out!" Daiyu looked suddenly in that direction and shouted sternly.
The person who was speaking lowered his head hastily, trying to hide himself, but ignored the people around him. They all dispersed, leaving the person alone in the place.
Daiyu stared at him closely and asked, "Did you say that just now?"
The man wanted to deny it, but the people around him pointed at him and said, "It's him!"
The voices came one after another, leaving him no chance to explain.
Seeing that he had no way to deny it, Hu Jiakang could only stiffen his neck and say, "I wasn't wrong! What's the point of asking us to listen to a woman?"
"I am also a woman." Daiyu sneered and walked slowly to a place a few steps away from Hu Jiakang and stopped. She asked, "Will you wait until one day you meet a capable male master and then obey him?"
Hu Jiakang did think so in his heart, but he certainly couldn't admit it at this moment. He hesitated and said, "That... that's definitely not the case. My indenture is still in the Lin family."
Daiyu sneered at what he said and said disdainfully, "I'll give you a chance. You fight me. If you beat me, I'll return the contract to you and give you a hundred taels of silver as a gift. How about that?"
Hu Jiakang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
"Everyone present can bear witness to this!" Daiyu looked at the group of men and asked seriously, "If anyone else has the same idea as him, please stand up and I can help him."
The men looked at each other, and although some were a little hesitant, they all shook their heads in the end, indicating that there was no such thing.
Hu Jiakang just felt that they had missed a good opportunity to regain their freedom. He rubbed his hands excitedly and looked at Lin Ji, who nodded to him, indicating that he agreed with Daiyu's statement.
But Hu Jiakang obviously didn't notice the sympathy in Lingji's eyes. He proudly put on a posture and said to Daiyu: "I hope the young lady will not break her promise."
He thought it was easy, thinking that Daiyu was just a girl in the boudoir, how much time could she have to practice martial arts every day. Unlike them, who not only practiced in private every day, but also had to fight in the martial arts arena.
But he forgot to ask what the consequences would be if he lost.
Daiyu smiled brightly: "That little bit of money is not worth my attention. Just come over here!"
Hu Jiakang was not polite either and attacked Daiyu's chest, which really touched Daiyu's sore spot.
She gave up the idea of teasing Hu Jiakang, took a half step back, and clenched her right hand into a fist. The moment Hu Jiakang rushed in front of her, she feinted and punched Hu Jiakang in the abdomen.
He was hit so hard that he staggered back a few steps and collapsed to the ground, holding his stomach and groaning in pain.
Everyone present: Is this the end?
Daiyu looked down at Hu Jiakang. She used only a fraction of her internal force to punch him directly above his dantian. Now, because Hu Jiakang only felt the external pain, Daiyu's internal force had already penetrated into his body, slowly destroying his dantian.
