After hearing what Yan Muxi said, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the two of them had different expressions on their faces. They all stood there in a daze for a while without responding.

Tian didn't dare to respond, Lin was so flustered that she couldn't speak, and Old Madam Gu was so angry that she didn't know how to respond.

After a while, Lin came to her senses and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Mother-in-law, you can't listen to others stirring up trouble. Our Third House has always been responsible and progressive, not a trivial matter!"

Qi pointed at Yan Muxi and said, "Prince Rong's wife not only instigated the servants to beat up our third room's people, but also smashed and damaged things. You must take charge of our third room!"

Yan Muxi took over the conversation again, "Madam Gu San, what you said is not right. First, I have never instigated any trouble. Second, I have never instigated any servant to commit violence. Third, I have never intentionally smashed or destroyed anything in the mansion. Madam Gu San, please stop slandering me!"

Lin jumped up from the ground in anger, "Am I the one who slandered you, or are you lying with your eyes open? Your evil servant has not stopped yet and is destroying things in the house! If you don't believe me, you can go into the yard and see for yourself."

"Of course it is Madam Gu San who is slandering me. I, the Crown Prince's Consort, never like to tell lies with open eyes. I only tell the truth." Yan Muxi spoke in a rogue tone that was enough to infuriate people to death.

"My third sister was bullied by Gu, the wife of the Yuan family, for no reason and she almost lost her unborn baby. As her elder sister, it is only natural for me, the Crown Prince's Consort, to seek justice for my sister. Your servants were beaten because they rushed over to seek a fight. My people were at best acting in self-defense. As for the fact that some objects were broken during the fight, that is perfectly normal."

Yan Muxi looked at Madam Gu, "If you don't believe me, go in and take a look. I only brought three or four people to seek justice, but Madam Gu San called over a hundred people to besiege us. Fortunately, the people serving me know Kung Fu, otherwise I would have been carried out of the mansion sideways."

At the key point, Yan Muxi sighed artificially, "Alas~ First, my third sister was bullied to the point of almost having a miscarriage, and then my wife was besieged and beaten. It's a small matter for my two sisters to suffer a little injustice, but if this matter spreads, it will be bad for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion! Old Madam, you are highly respected and will definitely handle this matter fairly, protect the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, and give my wife and third sister a fair and reasonable explanation."

"You, you, you, I'll teach you a lesson~" Lin was so angry that she jumped towards Yan Muxi. Unfortunately, before she could touch the corner of Yan Muxi's clothes, she was kicked away by Yin Xia.

With a thud, Lin fell to the ground. After struggling for a long time, he cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much..."

Watching her own daughter-in-law being kicked away, Mrs. Gu's expression was so ugly that it could not be described.

Yan Muxi had no intention of quitting just yet. She covered her chest and pretended to be terrified. "Look, look, Madam Gu dared to fight me in front of you, the old lady. If you were not here, wouldn't she beat me to death? Princess Jiahe often said that you, the old lady, are the most fair and just. You must make the decision for me!"

"Hmph!" Madam Gu could no longer hold back her cold snort, "How do you want me to decide for you, Princess?"

Yan Muxi pretended not to understand the sarcasm in her words, so she said in a difficult tone: "Madam Gu San is the daughter-in-law of the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion. As an outsider, it is not appropriate for me to interfere in how the old lady punishes her own daughter-in-law."

Old Madam Gu was so angry that she was lying on her back. She had already taken care of other people's affairs before she said it was not right to interfere.

She finally understood that the girl in front of her was young, very thick-skinned, and more ruthless than the mistress who had been in charge for many years. A hundred Lins would not be her match.

"You are too old to stand. What grievances have the Crown Prince's wife had? Let me make the decision. Wait until you go in and sit down, and then I will discuss it in detail."

She wanted to see if the little girl could still say something sinister to ask her to take charge of the matter, given the mess in the yard.

However, she obviously underestimated the thickness of Yan Muxi's face.

As the group walked in, Lin followed behind limping, supported by her maid.

Seeing the servants lying on the ground, Yan Muxi said indignantly: "Look, old lady, there are dozens or even hundreds of people lying here. Madam Gu San wants to kill this prince's wife!"

The mess inside the house was even more spectacular than outside. The antique display cabinet was toppled, the legs of the table and chairs were crooked, the famous paintings hanging on the wall were torn, and even the bed in the inner room was stepped on and collapsed. There was not a single object in the entire house that was intact.

Yan Muxi's eyelids twitched and she looked at Dong Yu, only to see that his round face was flushed and there were obvious beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked very tired.

Seeing this, Lin broke free from the old woman, and regardless of the pain in her legs and buttocks, she sat on the ground and cried, "Wuwuwu... I can't live anymore, I can't live anymore..."

Madam Gu felt even more ashamed of her behavior. She slammed her cane on the ground twice and shouted angrily, "Get up!"

Yan Muxi interrupted weakly, "Let Madam Gu sit on the ground! Isn't the old lady too old to stand? How about you sit on the ground and rest for a while?"

Because there was no place to sit and rest in the house except on the ground. No, to be exact, even if you sat on the ground, you had to scrape with your feet to make room, otherwise you would easily get pricked in the butt by the mess on the ground.

Madam Gu suddenly felt her eyes go dark. She was really angry. After calming down, she looked at Yan Muxi with a pair of fierce eyes, "I hope that the Crown Prince's wife will remember one thing: know when to stop and don't get carried away by your complacency."

Yan Muxi smiled with her eyes curved, "This Crown Prince's Concubine will remember the old lady's teachings. Now the old lady has also seen that this Crown Prince's Concubine has been bullied so cruelly. How does the old lady intend to deal with the current situation? If the treatment is unfair, this Crown Prince's Concubine will not accept it. I will definitely go back and complain to my own elders."

Seeing that she was unmoved by any persuasion, Madam Gu's eyes began to darken again. The old lady had never expected that the young girl in front of her, who was less than 20 years old, could be so difficult to deal with.

While the argument was going on, a servant from the front yard came to report that Su had arrived and had already entered the second gate.

Madam Gu gritted her teeth and ordered, "Please ask Madam Yan to come to the third room directly."

Although Yan Muxi was a daughter who married out, Su was her biological mother and should be held responsible for her improper upbringing.

After a while, the servant came back and said that Su had gone to Linfengju to visit the Ninth Madam first, and asked Madam Gu to wait patiently.

When Madam Gu heard this, she was startled, as if she had been hit on the head with a club, and her mind suddenly became clear.

She had always looked down on Yan Muyun's background as a concubine's daughter, but she had overlooked the fact that the Yan family was no longer the poor and rootless one it once was.

Yan Yongchen was promoted to the Minister of Personnel and entered the cabinet. He was the emperor's favorite minister who was in the limelight. Even people from meritorious families like them could not afford to offend him.

In addition to the rise of her natal family, Yan Muyun also has two older sisters who married into the royal family. Not to mention Yan Muqing who became the prince's concubine, just Yan Muxi who married into Prince Rong's Mansion could demolish their Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

If the Yan family and the Rong Palace wanted to stand up for Yan Muyun, the current Dingbei Marquis Mansion would not have the capital to compete with them.
