Naturally, Liwu expected drama in the morning. She had thrown two people off the balcony the previous night, after all.
As soon as she stepped into the dining room for a quick breakfast before heading out on surveillence outside Siyan's office, the confrontation came.
It started with a a gust of wind and an attempt to slap her.
"You bitch." Shen Manli screamed.
Liwu pulled her head back, dodging the slap quickly. In the process, she raised her own hand and slapped Manli.
Noise came from the background. Stunned relatives and stunned maids.
People dashed into the room, Weijun inclusive. He was just in time to witness Liwu slapping Manli again and again. Three slaps in a four second gap.
Each slap had been sharp enough to cause someone to wince and Liwu had used so much strength that her palm prints were temporarily embedded in Manli's pale cheeks.
