Si Ma raised her hands in the air and said with a pleasant smile, "There is no need for you to be so afraid; I mean no harm to you, Miss Mo."
However, Mo Qiang didn't dare to lower her guard. With the hoe in hand, she kept her eyes on the woman standing in front of her.
When Si Ma saw that Mo Qiang was still filled with wariness, she sighed and said, "I knew this would happen. This was why I asked them not to send me and think of some other person."
"Why are you here?" Mo Qiang ignored the chatty woman. The way Si Ma was speaking to her was as if the two of them were good friends and Mo Qiang, who grew up with a pair of greedy parents and siblings who were waiting to grab hold of her fortune, knew this strategy very well.
When she was young, because the director of the orphanage was worried that she would be fooled by the Mo family, she taught her a valuable lesson. No one who held ill will towards her would come to her with a smile on their face.
This lesson was something that Mo Qiang not only learnt by heart but also applied in her life.
So even if Si Ma goes on and on about how she didn't mean any harm, Mo Qiang would not believe a word.
Realising that her sweet words were not working, Si Ma released a heavy sigh. She dropped the smile on her lips and straightforwardly said to her, "Her highness asked me to bring a message to you."
"Fu Shi?"
"You dare call her by her name?" Si Ma's eyes flashed with aggression as she stepped forward and Mo Qiang dropped the hoe on the floor. A crack erupted in the ground before slowly stretching towards Si Ma. The woman paused in her stride and looked down at the crack on the ground.
Her lips curled up in a small smile as she raised her head and looked at Mo Qiang.
"I thought you were a helpless little lamb but it seemed like I underestimated you." Si Ma had indeed underestimated Mo Qiang; she thought that the woman was easy to control but it seemed like Mo Qiang was not that weak.
"Even a rabbit knows how to bite a little lamb who can smash you to death with her horns." Mo Qiang curled her lips. She raised the side of her lips and smiled at Si Ma. "So unless you want to be speared to death, then I will advise you to go back. If not, then I am afraid that I will have to bury you right here." She tilted her head to the ground. "But you wouldn't be a good fertiliser either."
Si Ma's lips curled up even though her eyes were chips of ice.
