[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life
Chapter 103 Taking Back the Stewardship
The servant who came in to report was still waiting. However, Zhang was in such a state that she couldn't do anything.
Rong Enqing had no choice but to give an order: "Carry the person away, prepare a coffin, and bury the person properly."
The servant took the order and left.
Rong Enqing looked at the group of people in the yard, shivering and pale, and one person lying on the ground, his life or death unknown. He sighed deeply and ordered, "Sell all of them! No matter if they are from the Marquis' Mansion or the ones brought by the Madam from the Zhang family."
As soon as these words were spoken, cries of grief and pleas for mercy filled the entire Baishou Hall.
Soon, the servants escorted everyone away from Baishou Hall.
The originally crowded Baishou Hall suddenly became much emptier.
Rong Enqing stood up and looked at Yun Ye and Zhang, "Let's go inside and talk."
Yun Ye nodded, stood up and walked to the dazed Zhang, stretched out his hand to help her up from the chair, "Mother, don't be sad, you still have me!"
Zhang raised her head with tearful eyes and looked at Yun Ye. After a long time, she showed an expression that was both crying and laughing, and nodded gently.
Several people entered the hall and sat down in order of importance. Rong Enqing dismissed all the servants and said solemnly, "In addition to the Zhang family, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was also involved in Yun Luo's injury.
"You know, if Yun Shu hadn't been kind-hearted and went to Anyang County Lord's Mansion to invite Doctor Sun back, Yun Luo would have been disfigured like Yun Ying."
Zhang and Yun Ye both looked at Rong Enqing in shock, "Is there such a thing?"
Rong Enqing sighed heavily, "You haven't seen Yunying yet, right? When the fourth room moved out, she had just been injured for two days. At that time, I thought it was just a minor injury and it was not a big deal. But yesterday I saw a scar the size of a fingertip on Yunying's forehead. The scar was rugged and hideous, it was very scary!"
"How could this happen?" Zhang covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief.
She knew that Yunying had injured her forehead because of the fight between the couple in the fourth room. Although she did not go to visit her in person, she still asked someone to find out the news. It was said that the injury was not serious. At most, it left a small mark.
But from what the lady said, that small wound has turned into a big ugly scar!? How is this possible!?
Yun Ye frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Did the Duke of Zhenguo bribe Doctor Yu?"
The Marquis's Mansion always invites Yu Hui from Huichun Hall to come to the mansion for consultation. Rong Enqing just mentioned the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion again, and Yun Ye almost instantly made such a guess.
"Yes!" Rong Enqing gave Yu Le an affirmative answer, and said solemnly: "Yu Hui has confessed everything. The intention of the Zhenguo Mansion is: the girls will be disfigured, the boys will lose arms and legs, and the Shun'an Marquis Mansion will never be able to recover."
Yun Ye and Zhang's faces changed drastically.
So cruel! Not killing people, but more vicious than killing people!
"The open enemy of the Marquis' Mansion is the Liang family and Concubine Liang. The flower banquet a few days ago also offended Mr. Meng and others from the Wu family. Offending them is equivalent to offending more than 80% of the dignitaries in the capital.
"I thought this was enough to deal a heavy blow to the Marquis' Mansion. I never imagined that there were even more vicious and brutal enemies hiding in the dark.
"Now that we have discovered the conspiracy of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, are there other families who are secretly plotting to harm our Marquis Mansion?"
Rong Enqing spoke out his guess in a heavy tone, then changed his tone and said firmly: "Therefore, the interior of the Marquis' Mansion must be condensed into a piece of iron, which cannot be penetrated by water or pierced by needles. Whoever wants to interfere, we will use this piece of iron to break his claws!"
At this point, Zhang and Yun Ye both understood what Rong Enqing meant by this statement.
When the truth has been uncovered, questioning the rumor in public is not going to save Zhang's face at all. It is also forcing Zhang to make a choice.
Now that things have come to a conclusion, in order to prevent Zhang from feeling dissatisfied and creating a rift between her and him, Rong Enqing made an analysis and detailed account of the internal and external troubles in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault!
"Before the flower banquet, my grandfather sent someone to see me. Nanny Wu was also present at the time. It was my wavering attitude that gave Nanny Wu an excuse to act on her own.
"I knew about the rumor a few days after it was spread. It was also my fault for being indecisive and reluctant to punish Aunt Wu, which eventually led to the rumor hurting Yun Luo.
"It's all my fault, but in the end I still need you to comfort me and explain things to me. I really shouldn't have done that."
Zhang felt extremely guilty and stood up to kneel down to Rong Enqing.
Rong Enqing quickly winked at Yun Ye, "Hurry up and hold your mother."
Unexpectedly, Yun Ye not only did not stop them, but he knelt on the ground with Zhang.
"Grandma, this matter is all my fault. If I hadn't been so absorbed in the academy and hadn't paid attention to my mother's emotions and given my sister more care, things might not have turned out the way they are now.
"My mother lost Aunt Wu, and my sister was almost disfigured. This is all my fault! Please punish me, Grandma!"
Every word Yun Ye spoke was sincere, and every sentence he said was taking all the blame. Despite his young age, he tried to take the blame for his mother.
Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye with relief, "Grandma knows that you are a good and responsible child. However, this matter is not your fault. It was your mother who did something wrong, and she should be punished accordingly."
Zhang quickly pulled her son, who was about to speak again, and said sincerely, "Mother is right. I am willing to be punished."
Rong Enqing felt relieved when he saw Zhang's peaceful expression and sincere attitude. "Then hand over the housekeeper's power. From now on, I will personally take care of the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."
When Rong Enqing said this, she stared at Zhang without blinking. Zhang's attitude also determined how she would treat her in the future.
After what happened with Yunluo, she has made up her mind to take back the power of housekeeper.
As for Zhang, she had given her a chance, but she betrayed her trust.
The reason why I gave the housekeeping power to Zhang was because she wanted to be lazy and live a leisurely life. But wasn't it also because I trusted Zhang?
After all, at that time she felt that Zhang must be trustworthy since they were able to raise such an outstanding child like Yun Ye in such adverse circumstances.
Unfortunately, she came from a time travel, so she could be free from worries and only think about herself and the Marquis' Mansion, but Zhang couldn't do that!
Therefore, even if Zhang was in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, she could not be someone who only considered the Marquis' Mansion wholeheartedly.
It was precisely because of her indulgence that Nanny Wu caused a disaster and lost her life.
When she went to the second house, she felt that Zhang was inferior to Song. Now it seems that she was right. Zhang was far inferior to Song in other aspects except raising children.
"Yes. I'll have someone send the storeroom keys and account books to Baishoutang later." Zhang agreed readily. There was no trace of reluctance or unwillingness between her brows. Instead, she seemed relieved.
Yun Ye obviously didn't expect Rong Enqing to take back the housekeeper's power. Although he thought it was nothing, he couldn't help but look at Zhang with worry.
But after receiving his gaze, Zhang smiled at him and said in a relaxed tone: "Actually, I don't like being a housekeeper. You can say I'm lazy or incompetent. Instead of being a housekeeper, I'd rather read books."
After hearing what Zhang said, Yun Ye finally smiled.
He believed what his mother said was true. Because before she got married, she was a famous talented woman in the capital, and reading was her hobby. If it weren't for her profound knowledge, she wouldn't have been able to raise a little genius like him.
Yun Ye, who was always as calm as a little adult, rarely boasted about himself in his heart.
Seeing the reactions of the mother and son, Rong Enqing finally put his heart at ease.
