The End Times as a Song

Chapter 455 The Sharp Woman

The stubborn servant stood there, his eyes fixed on Lady Yuyang's door, his throat bobbing involuntarily as he swallowed hard. He seemed to realize that barging into the room now was unwise, but he also felt a little unwilling and hesitant.

Just then, Lan Ruo, standing to the side, curled her lips into a contemptuous smile. She slightly raised her delicate chin, gave a soft snort, and her beautiful eyes were filled with disdain and mockery. Then, with her clear and sharp voice, like an incomparably sharp sword piercing straight to the hearts of the two servants: "Look at you two! You can't even handle such a trivial matter. You're simply a bunch of good-for-nothings! I really don't know what use you are!"

The two servants, their faces flushed red from Lan Ruo's sharp reprimand, bowed their heads almost to the ground. They exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shame and helplessness in each other's eyes. However, faced with this assertive and eloquent woman, they dared not utter a word in rebuttal, and could only silently endure this humiliation.

Hearing Lan Ruo's stern rebuke, the two servants blushed deeply. One of them quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, saying meekly, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss Lan Ruo. We know we were wrong. We'll leave now and won't bother you any longer." As he spoke, he forcefully tugged at his companion who was still trying to argue, signaling him to shut up.

Although the stubborn servant was unwilling, he dared not disobey Lan Ruo's orders. He could only reluctantly follow his companion to bow and thank Lan Ruo, then hurriedly turned and left. They staggered, looking quite disheveled, as if something terrible was chasing them.

Lan Ruo watched their departing figures, a slight, disdainful smile playing on her lips. Then, she flicked her sleeve and turned to walk into her room.

Meanwhile, in the Tranquil Garden on the other side, Tu Shanyan had just finished changing. He felt the air inside was stuffy and made him feel somewhat suffocated. So, he took a step and slowly walked towards the door, preparing to go out for some fresh air. When he opened the door, a fresh breeze rushed in, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers and the scent of grass, which invigorated him.

"The environment here seems quite nice... but it's still slightly inferior to Fangcao Village..." Tu Shanyan strolled around, admiring the surrounding scenery and secretly praising it. Although he said it wasn't as good as Fangcao Village, he was actually quite satisfied with the environment here.

Just then, Li Luo walked up from behind and, hearing Tu Shan Yan talking to himself, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ah Yan, what are you muttering about...?"

Tu Shanyan turned around, saw that it was Li Hou, and smiled as he replied, "It's nothing. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. I just wanted to go out for a walk and relax."

I'm cooped up in the house all day, I feel like I'm going to get moldy... I really don't know why I came back this time... Nobody cares about my feelings... I've just been abandoned like this.

As Tu Shanyan spoke slowly, he gently shook his head, his words clearly containing a hint of helplessness and a touch of dissatisfaction.

However, somewhat surprisingly, despite his tone, his expression wasn't as heavy and oppressive as one might expect. On the contrary, he exuded a rare sense of ease and comfort, as if all his pressure and worries had vanished in an instant.
