[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

After thinking for a while, Rong Enqing did not answer but asked: "Xiu Zhang, do you think I am a polite and rule-abiding person?"

Xiu Zhang was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Just when he was feeling awkward, he heard Rong Enqing say with a smile: "Don't be shy, just say whatever you want. You can compare the Marquis' Mansion before you and Madam Gong came here with the Marquis' Mansion now."

Xiu Zhang twitched his lips and said truthfully: "Madam, well, she is a casual and free-spirited person."

Rong Enqing smiled and nodded, then asked, "Then what kind of person do you think Anyang County Princess is?"

Xiu Zhang's expression froze, and she didn't reply. She already knew what Rong Enqing was trying to say.

As expected, Rong Enqing smiled and said, "I am a free-spirited person, and Princess Anyang is a free-spirited person. We both share the common point of not being particular about details. As for Madam Zhou, she was the wet nurse of Princess Anyang's mother, so the Princess can call her her grandmother. And I have great respect for Madam Zhou who was able to educate Princess Anyang. Therefore, the Princess Anyang and I did not regard Madam Zhou as a servant, but respected her as an elder. Since she is an elder, it doesn't seem to be a big deal for Madam Zhou to go in and out with us, right?"

Xiu Zhang smiled awkwardly and nodded, "I was blinded by one thing."

"It's not your fault." Rong Enqing comforted him softly, "You grew up in the palace, and you've seen since childhood that there are distinctions between the upper and lower levels, and that there is order in terms of respect and inferiority. Where have you ever seen people like me and the county lady who don't follow the rules? Hahahaha, over time, you'll slowly get used to it."

Xiu Zhang nodded, deeply shocked.

In fact, it was not just Madam Zhou, but also Ah Shou, Nanshan and others from Baishou Hall. Madam Tai never treated them as servants. Instead, she indulged them like children and tolerated their transgressions.

Even the fact that Eryue was kicked out of the house was due to the unshirkable responsibility of the lady-in-waiting.

If she hadn't been too indulgent towards his maid and hadn't taken the rules too seriously, Er Yue wouldn't have had the courage to contradict Rong Enqing and argue for Xiao Huan so self-righteously.

But it was this kind of Rong Enqing that made her want to get closer involuntarily. With Rong Enqing, there was no oppression, no restraint, no responsibility, and no fear. Being with Rong Enqing made her feel unprecedented ease and comfort.

Yun Shu at the side interrupted immediately and said: "Oh, why do I feel that Xiu Zhang is the mother's daughter, and I, the daughter, seem like an outsider." Her tone was sour, but her eyes were full of smiles.

Xiu Zhang suddenly became embarrassed, "Fifth Miss, you are joking. I am just a servant."

"When did you become so mischievous?" Rong Enqing reached out and tapped Yun Shu's forehead. With a roll of his eyes, he teased, "I don't know if you learned this from the county lady, or if you were taught badly by that kid Xu Changping?"

When Xu Changping was mentioned, Yun Shu's face immediately turned red and she said shyly, "Mother is making fun of me," and then she said no more.

As the few people were chatting and laughing, the carriage returned to the Marquis's mansion.

As soon as I got off the car, the doorman came to greet me hurriedly.

"Madam, you are finally back."

"What happened?" Rong Enqing looked at the manager strangely.

"The Fourth Madam and her mother are here. They have been waiting for you in Baishou Hall for several hours." The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The fourth wife herself is not easy to mess with, but I didn't expect that the fourth wife's mother is even harder to mess with! This is really going to kill you!

At this moment, I don’t know how the maids in Baishou Hall have been treated!

Rong Enqing was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically. He held Xiu Zhang's wrist and walked in hurriedly.

Oh my goodness, Xiaorong’s mother, her sister-in-law, Zhang is here!

Zhang is a tigress even more fierce and brutal than Xiaorong and her original self!

In Rong Enqing's opinion, Xiao Rong's fighting power is already off the charts, but compared with Zhang's, it's child's play.

"Why didn't you send anyone to the County Lady's Mansion to inform me?" Rong Enqing asked the steward as he walked quickly inside.

The steward had a sad face and said, "Fourth Madam's mother stopped us."

"She stopped you from coming, so you didn't come to report?" Xiu Zhang frowned and shouted angrily, "Are you servants of the Marquis's Mansion, or servants of the Fourth Madam's family?"

It seems that all the rules that Nanny Gong taught me over the past few months were in vain.

The steward said helplessly, "Miss Xiuzhang, you don't know that the fourth wife's mother..." The steward glanced at Rong Enqing timidly and changed his words, "I originally ordered the servant to go out to the county lady's mansion to look for the wife, but the servant broke his leg before he even left the house."

Xiu Zhang was shocked and wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Rong Enqing: "Okay, Xiu Zhang, don't blame them. You don't know what kind of person my sister-in-law is. When you see her, you will understand."

Then he said to the steward, "You can leave now. Find a doctor to take a good look at the injured boy, so that he won't get sick. If you need any medicine, just ask Steward Li for it. Just tell him I said, and you have to cure him no matter how much money it costs."

"I would like to thank the Madam on behalf of Zhuzi!" The steward thanked her and left.

Rong Enqing walked quickly inside with Yunshu and Xiuzhang.

Halfway through the journey, Rong Enqing asked Yun Shu to take the maids from Tingyuxuan back to his own courtyard, and only took Xiu Zhang back to Baishoutang.

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard. Before they entered, they heard the sound of cups being smashed, followed by scolding: "Little bitch, are you trying to burn me to death on purpose?"

"This servant didn't mean it!"

"You still dare to quibble? Give her a slap in the face!"

Rong Enqing frowned and walked quickly into the yard.

At first glance, he saw a row of little maids kneeling in the yard. Even Nanshan and Yannian, and even Chunyu and Chuncao beside Yunluo were there.

Looking at the maids kneeling in front of her, Xiu Zhang looked at Rong Enqing in disbelief, only to see that Rong Enqing's face was terribly gloomy.

Rong Enqing walked up to the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Who told you to kneel? Stand up!"

"Madam!"

"Madam, you are back?"

"Madam, you are finally back!"

When everyone saw Rong Enqing coming back, they all showed surprise on their faces.

But the moment when everyone looked up in surprise, Rong Enqing's eyes turned red with anger.

Several maids had slap marks on their faces, which were red and swollen. Especially Nanshan, the scars on her face were particularly obvious.

"Everyone, get up." Rong Enqing looked at everyone with concern and repeated it again.

After hearing Rong Enqing's words, everyone hurried to stand up, but some people stood up smoothly, while others stumbled and knelt down again. It was obvious that their legs were numb.

Just as everyone was helping each other to stand up, two people walked out of the main hall.

A sturdy old woman was pulling a little maid's arm and walking out.

"Go down and kneel down..." Before the strong old woman could finish her words, she saw the maids standing up one after another, and immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you! Who allowed you to stand up? Why don't you kneel down?"

Rong Enqing was furious. He turned around and looked at the sturdy woman, snorting coldly, "I think you are the bold one! You are so brave to make my people kneel on my territory!"
