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

Rong Enqing shook his head: "No need. It will only take three to five days. Five girls are enough."

At this point, Rong Enqing thought for a moment and instructed, "Tell the servants in the mansion to be alert these few days and keep a close watch everywhere. Don't let anything go wrong at this critical moment."

Butler Li: "Yes."

Rong Enqing added, "Those who are to be sent to the farm should be sent away tomorrow morning. Those who are to be sold should be sold after three days when all the families have moved out. Let's keep it closed for the next few days."

Butler Li responded quickly.

Rong Enqing added, "Oh, by the way, don't let them go hungry. Give them what they need to eat. Don't let them get sick from hunger."

"Yes." Butler Li agreed respectfully, "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"

Rong Enqing thought about it again, and it really reminded her of something, "Butler Li, our Marquis' Mansion has been passed down since the founding of the previous dynasty, and it has a history of more than 200 years. There should be quite a few hereditary servants of the Marquis' Mansion on the farm, right?"

Butler Li lowered his eyes slightly and answered in a steady voice, "Madam, the Marquis's Mansion does have quite a few servants."

Rong Enqing clapped his hands and said happily, "When you send someone to the farm tomorrow, ask the farm's steward if there are any girls or boys of the right age who are willing to come to the mansion to serve. It's just right, I'll pick a few girls, and also pick a few for Yun Shu and Zhang. And pick a few smart servants for Yun Ye."

Hearing this, Steward Li also smiled a little, "Madam, you have thought it through. After all, the people bought from outside are not as loyal and useful as the hereditary servants of the Marquis' Mansion. I will go to the manor in person tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work, Steward Li!"

"Madam, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

Tingfengyuan, second room.

Yun Hao, Song and Jiang sat around the table in a depressing atmosphere.

Jiang kept patting her chest, her face full of resentment and anger. After a long time, she finally couldn't hold back her anger and shouted, "Is this the end? We have been planning for so many years, are we going to be kicked out of the house in three days? I won't accept this! I won't accept this even if I die!"

Yun Hao stared at the teacup on the table, his eyes were empty, as if he was wandering in space. But he said in a hoarse voice: "Winning or losing temporarily is nothing. The one who laughs the last is the real winner."

Jiang was stunned and frowned. The imperial decree had already been issued, how could it be changed?

Then, Song said calmly, "Yes, a temporary win or loss doesn't matter. Second Master still has plenty of opportunities. After all, Yun Ye is still young. If he wants to truly control the Marquis' Mansion, he has to wait ten years, right?"

Jiang was startled, then as if she had thought of something, she said in surprise: "Yes! Yes! Yun Ye is only eight years old. Children are most likely to die young. It is still unclear whether he can grow up to adulthood."

After these words were spoken, the three of them looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

Tinglan Courtyard, third room.

After Yunjiang and Cao came back, they began to instruct the servants to put their belongings away. In the small inner room, the couple packed up their important belongings while whispering to each other.

"Master, is it really not a big deal that we have offended the second house? Alas, you didn't see how creepy the second brother and his wife's eyes were when they looked at me. Thinking about it now, I still tremble with fear." Cao had a look of fear on her face and patted her chest as she spoke.

Seeing this, Yun Jiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you afraid of? After all, my second brother and I were born from the same mother. With Auntie here, my second brother won't do anything to us."

Cao curled her lips subconsciously, "Can the aunt be trusted? You know how partial she is."

Thinking of the "dowry" of the concubine mentioned by Rong today, Cao felt hot in her heart, but then quickly cooled down. Even if it was more, it would probably not fall into the hands of their third house.

Yun Jiang didn't care. "It doesn't matter whether Auntie is reliable or not. As long as Auntie is around, Second Brother will have to be cautious and won't dare to go too far with us. Of course, if possible, we should still make friends with Second Brother in the future. This depends on you."

Cao nodded, "Of course I'll save that."

Yun Jiang continued, "You should get closer to the Marquis' Mansion in the future, spend more time with the Madam, and get along well with your eldest sister-in-law."

"Do I need you to teach me this?" Cao rolled her eyes at Yun Jiang. "Today, we are risking offending our second brother's family and insisting on opening our own residence. Isn't it just for the sake of better exchanges with the Marquis' Mansion in the future?"

Yun Jiang smiled and pinched Cao's cheek affectionately, then reached out and held her in his arms, saying softly, "I know you understand me best."

Cao blushed, but felt extremely relieved. She leaned in Yunjiang's arms and began to imagine the beautiful days in the future when she would have everything she wanted.

Tinghe Courtyard, four rooms.

As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Rong kicked Yunhai on the calf. Not satisfied with the kick, she reached out and twisted Yunhai's arm.

Xiao Rong was merciless in her attack. She kicked Yunhai so hard that he staggered. Before he could stand steadily, his arm was twisted fiercely several times. The pain was so severe that the good-tempered Yunhai couldn't help but get angry.

"what are you doing?"

Yunhai roared angrily and subconsciously pushed Xiaorong.

She had dreamed of becoming a marquis' wife for many years, but today her dream was shattered and she was kicked out of the marquis' mansion. Xiao Rong was furious. When Yun Hai pushed her, she was furious. She rushed over and scratched Yun Hai's face. She cursed:

"What am I doing? You dare to ask me what I do? You are useless. You can't be a marquis anymore, and you can't live in the marquis' mansion anymore. Why are you still laughing foolishly here?

"You are being treated as a fool by your aunt. You believe everything she says. Don't you have any brains?"

Yun Hai stretched out his hand to block Xiao Rong's scratching and retorted: "My mother is clearly doing this for my own good, not to coax me. Don't be unreasonable. Humph, I tell you, the person who treats me best in this world is no one else except my mother. Don't try to sow discord between us mother and son."

Xiao Rong was so angry that she cursed: "You fool, big fool! Why did I marry you in the first place?"

As she spoke, Xiao Rong couldn't help but burst into tears and cried, "Liar, you and your son are both liars! You said you would definitely make me a marquis' wife. What happened? Woohoo, it's all lies! Why was I so stupid to believe their lies? And marry into your family? You are a useless waste, a fool, and a big liar!"

When Yun Hai heard this, he was not happy and said, "Bah! If my mother hadn't asked me to marry you, do you think I would want to marry you? Don't you even look at what you look like?"

This statement really stirred up a hornet's nest.

Xiao Rong suddenly screamed, "Asshole! You dare to call me ugly? I'm going to fight you!" She pounced on Yunhai and kicked and scratched him.

Xiao Rong was mad and didn't care about the severity of her attacks. Yun Hai couldn't stand it anymore and started fighting with Xiao Rong. "I didn't fight back before, that was because I was letting you go. Do you really think I can't beat you?"

The two men fought in public.
