In Tinglan Courtyard, four maids who usually walked with haughty manners were now kneeling pitifully at the foot of the steps of the main house. They all had bruised faces and noses, and their clothes were stained with blood, and there were deep and shallow footprints.

Anyone who saw this look would know that these four had received a good beating.

Liu was sitting in the house. When she looked up, she could see four people kneeling outside. The more she looked, the more upset she felt.

How dare that little bitch from the third room?

These four people were sent by her. As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner first. You guys, who just returned to the Marquis' Mansion, are so reckless and want to do whatever you want in the Mansion. Don't you want to live a good life in the Mansion in the future?

Thinking of what Nanny Zhou had said before, that they had only said a few words after entering and were beaten by the cruel woman brought back by the third room, she felt even more angry.

Su Yunrou sat at the side, watching the eldest lady's expression change from time to time. She knew that she was in a bad mood, but she couldn't let the maids outside kneel down and not get up just because of such a small matter.

"Mother, the maids are all seriously injured. They can't just kneel like this. We need to let them see a doctor."

Of course Mrs. Liu knew that she should take them to see a doctor, but she was still angry!

The four of them, plus Nanny Zhou, a total of five old women, went to Helin Courtyard, but they were unable to accommodate the mother and daughter from the third room.

Now I'm not slapping them in the face, I'm clearly slapping myself in the face.

Seeing that her mother remained silent, Su Yunrou tried to comfort her again, "Father might come over soon. It would be bad if he saw it."

Liu was moved and nodded in agreement. The other maid in the room hurried out and asked the four people to go downstairs to rest.

As soon as they left, the eldest master of the Marquis' Mansion, Su Zhiyi, returned to Tinglan Courtyard.

"Master, you're back." Madam Liu put on a gentle smile and greeted him.

After Su Zhiyi entered the room, Su Yunrou knelt down and saluted, "My daughter greets my father."

Su Zhiyi looked at his second daughter, who behaved calmly and gracefully, and was very satisfied. It would be a pity if Yun Rou, with such temperament and appearance, did not marry into the royal family.

"I heard from Lord Liu that several nobles from the royal family will also attend this year's Taolin Festival. Don't be nervous and lose your composure when the time comes."

Su Yunrou happily responded, "Yes, father."

Prince Rui must be one of the royal nobles, and he would also go to the Taolin Club. Thinking of seeing such a handsome, gentle and elegant man again, a hint of shyness appeared on her face. But then she thought of Su Qingwan who had just returned to Beijing, and her heart suddenly felt like it was scratched by a cat's claws, and it hurt a little.

In the past, when Su Qingwan was not in the capital, she didn't have to care, but now that she is back, this woman has taken the title of the future Princess Rui. How can she tolerate this?

"Father, my fourth sister has returned to the capital now. Will she also attend the Taolin Society?"

Before Su Zhiyi could speak, Liu interrupted and said, "Your fourth sister has just returned to Beijing and is unfamiliar with everything. Let's talk about it after she is settled."

Is she worthy of attending the Taolin Party? If she goes, she will probably bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion!

Su Zhiyi didn't say anything and just asked Su Yunrou to leave first.

Su Yunrou bowed and left the room.

"What happened when the third wife and her daughter went to see their mother today?" After seeing his daughter leave, Su Zhiyi lifted his robe and sat down. He only listened to the report from his followers and didn't know what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Liu sighed and looked worried.

"What's wrong? Is my third brother's wife difficult to get along with?" Su Zhiyi had not yet met the mother and daughter of the third wife, and had only met the two sons of the third brother at his father's place.

Liu looked at Su Zhiyi in embarrassment and said, "Logically, I shouldn't talk about my third brother's family in front of my uncle, but judging from what happened after they came back yesterday, I think something really happened to my third brother's wife."

Then she recounted everything that the people from the third room had done after they came back. She mentioned everything except the beating that happened to Nanny Zhou and the others.

Finally, Liu said, "Although five hundred taels of silver is not a lot, you know, sir, in such a large mansion, we have to spend money everywhere. Besides, the mother of Minister Song of the Ministry of Personnel will celebrate her seventieth birthday next month, so we have to spend some time on the gift."

Su Zhiyi was silent. The last thing his wife mentioned really needed to be taken seriously. He couldn't just be a minor official in the Ministry of Rites forever. He just said:

"My third brother's family has just returned to the mansion, so it's normal for them to buy some things. Just don't let anyone find fault with them. If they make a big fuss, ask mother to intervene. My daughter-in-law is ignorant, so her mother-in-law needs to discipline her. As for the affairs of my third brother's wife, I will send someone to Mo Nan to check. After all, we are a family. If there are any difficulties, we should help."

It has to be said that Su Zhiyi is Madam Kang's biological son. They have the same idea. They both believe that even if Jiang's family capsizes, they can still pick out thousands of kilograms of nails from the boat.

"Master is really thoughtful. I will take care of the affairs of the third room." Liu complimented at the right time.

"Madam, the second steward is here and said he has something to report to you." The gatekeeper ran over and said.

"Let him in." said the eldest lady.

The second steward hurried in and saw the eldest master in the main hall. He kowtowed and said hurriedly, "Master, Madam, the fourth lady has taken the second lady's carriage and left."

"Did no one stop her? No one told her that it was the second young lady's carriage?" Mrs. Liu was furious.

Yun Rou's carriage was specially made for her. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also very comfortable inside. Even the curtains were made of Tencel.

"The people in the carriage house couldn't stop them at all. The old woman who followed the Fourth Miss was extremely arrogant. She just said that the Fourth Miss was also a Marquis's daughter, so why couldn't she use the Marquis's daughter's carriage? When I rushed over, the masters of the Third House had already harnessed the carriage and left."

The second manager had sweat on his forehead. The carriage house was under his management, but who would have thought that something could happen in a carriage house.

The eldest lady looked displeased. She had realized that Su Qingwan came back just to steal Yun Rou's things.

Bah! Shameless little bitch!

Curses were bubbling in her heart like a bubble, and it took her a while to suppress the urge to strangle Su Qingwan.

"Forget it. Miss Fourth doesn't know Yunrou's habits. Let her use it. Go to the south of the city and order another carriage. Ask the craftsmen to hurry up and make sure they don't miss the Taolin meeting."

"Yes!" The second manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, did not dare to delay, and went to make arrangements immediately.

Liu turned to look at Su Zhiyi and said helplessly, "I specially asked someone to arrange a carriage for the third room to travel, but I didn't expect them to fall in love with Yun Rou's."
