Chapter 178: Riot in the Marquis' Mansion
"Except for a few dowry maids and servants, the people serving in the courtyard are all arranged in advance by the old lady and cannot be replaced easily." Yan Muyun said truthfully.
"What about Gu Yunting? He doesn't have any available personnel to send?"
"He is not in Luodu all year round. He only has two personal attendants in the outer courtyard. He usually does not come to the inner courtyard unless there is something important."
Yan Muxi sighed inwardly. Yan Muyun and his wife had been observing mourning for a year and had no intention of staying in Luodu City for long. They probably didn't think of training any useful personnel.
Furthermore, the miscellaneous affairs of the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion are in the hands of Old Madam Gu and several other families, so it is indeed not easy to place one's own people in.
Gu Yunting's followers were brought back from the Northern Frontier, so they must have some kung fu experience. Yan Muxi thought for a moment and told Lian Qiao, "Go to the outer courtyard and bring Gu Yunting's two followers over."
Yan Muyun asked in confusion, "Why are you looking for Gu Yunting's followers?"
"Hmph," Yan Muxi sneered, "Let those who bully you know that the daughter of Minister Yan and the sister of Prince Rong's wife are not easy to bully."
Realizing that Yan Muxi was going to stand up for her and knock on the door of the third room, Yan Mujun suddenly opened her eyes wide and said, "No, you will get into big trouble if you do this."
"So what if we cause trouble? Does the Dingbei Marquis Mansion dare to seek an explanation from the Shangshu Mansion, or reason with the Rong Prince Mansion?" Yan Muxi said with disdain.
Now that Gu Yunting has fallen, there is no capable male in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. Even if they are bullied and humiliated, they can only keep it in their stomach and endure it.
If I don't seize the opportunity to help Yan Muyun vent her anger this time, she will suffer more humiliation in the future.
In the main hall of the third house's main courtyard, Lin was instructing the servants present today to make up their own statements. When she heard that Prince Rong's wife had brought people to the door, she hurriedly got up to greet them.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a beautiful young girl and a group of people rushing into the yard aggressively.
The little girl had a gloomy face. She stood in the middle of the yard, her watery eyes sweeping over like ice knives.
Lin was startled and quickly knelt down to salute, "Your Highness's wife greets you."
Yan Muxi didn't call out, but asked in a cold tone, "Where is Yuan's wife Gu?"
Gu Yuening's husband's surname is Yuan. Yan Muxi did not directly call her the Second Miss Gu, which was already giving some face to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion.
"My daughter has injured her neck and has just taken some tranquilizers. If the Crown Princess wants to see me for something, it would be better to wait another day until the girl wakes up." After saying this, Lin winked at the maid beside her, asking her to go to Xiangju Garden to report the news.
The Crown Prince's wife of Prince Rong is of noble status, and everyone in the mansion only cares about the old lady being able to talk to her.
Yan Muxi pretended not to see the old woman running away. Madam Gu's courtyard was not very close to here, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour to go back and forth.
A quarter of an hour was enough time for her to display her talent. If the old lady had good legs and feet and arrived in time, she would have been able to appreciate her masterpiece while it was still hot.
"The master is injured and has to rest. Are the servants who served Gu today okay?" Yan Muxi asked coldly.
Lin was originally a hot-tempered and arrogant person. Her legs became weak from squatting. She could no longer suppress her anger. She said impatiently, "We can discipline the servants in our mansion ourselves. There is no need to trouble the Crown Prince Consort of Prince Rong to do anything."
Yan Muxi smiled and said softly, "If this prince's wife insists on interfering, what can you do to me?"
Lin suddenly raised her eyes and met a pair of beautiful eyes that curved like crescent moons. The girl with beautiful eyes was so beautiful that it was dazzling, but she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"This is the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion. Even if you are the Crown Prince's Consort of the Rong Prince's Mansion, you, you can't do anything reckless."
Yan Muxi stopped talking to her and turned to look at Banxia, "Hurry up and identify the dog servant in the yard who bullied your wife today?"
Several servants who served Gu Yuening had just finished their testimony and had not yet left, so they stood in the yard. Banxia pointed at one of the maids.
"She allowed the Second Miss to hurt the Madam, and she also deliberately stopped others from helping. And the three maids behind her also watched the fun without caring about my Madam's life or death."
"Now that you've identified the person, let's take action!" As Yan Muxi finished his words, Dong Yu rushed out like a gust of wind.
The woman who had just been identified was kicked to the ground before she could react. She curled up and cried out in pain.
The maids beside the old woman were not in a good situation either. Dongyu beat whoever he caught. The sound of fists and shouts instantly made the yard a mess.
Lin came back to her senses from her shock and angrily ordered the maid beside her, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go find someone to help?"
After a short while, dozens of servants from the third room rushed over and rushed forward like a wave to try to subdue Dongyu.
Dong Yu's two fists were no match for the crowd, and Gu Yunting's two followers, Feng Xi and Feng Qing, also joined the fight when they saw this.
The two of them had followed Gu Yunting to the battlefield to kill enemies. Not to mention dealing with a group of maids and old women, they were more than capable of dealing with dozens of soldiers.
While the Feng brothers were dealing with the outside, Dongyu pulled two maids into the house and started smashing things regardless of whether the items were valuable or not.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the yard was filled with servants lying there, their screams and cries were so deafening that it hurt people's eardrums.
Yan Muxi was annoyed by the noise, so he took Yin Xia and retreated out of the courtyard.
"It seems like that's Madam Gu coming over there!" Yinxia pointed at a group of people who had just turned the corner.
Yan Muxi looked carefully and saw that the silver-haired old lady in the lead was indeed Madam Gu, and the skinny woman in an indigo dress beside her should be Tian.
When the person approached, Yan Muxi walked forward and greeted him with a smile.
"The old lady's legs and feet are so agile, it seems that she is in good health! When I return to the palace, I will tell Yue Lan so that she can worry less in the East Palace."
Old Madam Gu paused for a moment, her breath stuck in her chest, which was aching.
The little girl treated their mansion as a place to have fun and make trouble. Not only was she not afraid of her, but she even tried to get close to her. Did she really think that their mansion was soft dough that she could knead and flatten?
You don't have to go into the yard, just by listening to the sounds you can tell what a miserable situation the third-room courtyard is in.
Madam Gu was about to speak up when Lin, who had received the news, ran out from the yard and shouted at the top of her voice, "Mother-in-law, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, our third room would have been bullied to death..."
Looking at her third daughter-in-law who was crying like a shrew, and then looking at Yan Muxi who was smiling like a flower beside her, Mrs. Gu felt even more pain in her heart.
Tian walked quickly to Lin and advised her in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. We are all one family, and we share the same fate. Now that mother has come, she will definitely make the decision for your third branch."
Yan Muxi's eyes fell on Tian. Compared with her sister-in-law Lin, Tian's words were much more intriguing.
With just one word, she put Old Madam Gu in a difficult position. If the old lady didn't break off relations with her and stand up for the Third House, the interests of the entire Dingbei Marquis' Mansion would be damaged.
She chuckled and took over the conversation, "What Madam Gu said is not entirely right. This prince's consort thinks so! Managing a household is no different from raising flowers, plants, and trees. The strong and sturdy branches must be kept, while the thin branches, rotten leaves, and crooked branches must be cut off cleanly. Only by the survival of the fittest can the main body be kept prosperous. So, this principle of "all rise and all fall" is not applicable at all times. It is better to discard the useless rotten branches."
