So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!
Chapter 231 Scapegoat
The two sides were on the verge of a tense situation.
The chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion felt that the situation was not good. He hurried through the corridor and rushed to Sikong Wen's study in a panic.
He opened the door and reported hurriedly.
"City Lord, Young Master Yun has led his men to surround the West Garden. The situation is critical!"
When Sikong heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he didn't care.
"Let him be!"
He said calmly.
"Those few people didn't take me seriously, so I'll let Yun'er teach them a lesson."
The chief steward made a bitter face and persuaded anxiously?
"City Lord, you are confused! It is said that among those people, only Lei Tingyi has a high level of cultivation and comes from the Lei Xiao Sect. That is the number one sect on the continent, how can we afford to offend them? Once they get angry, the consequences will be disastrous!"
When Sikong heard this, his brows slightly frowned, seeming a little shaken.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed and said?
"What you said makes sense. However, Yun'er has already gone, and it's too late to stop her now. We can only wait and see what happens, and hope that things don't get too serious."
The chief steward nodded helplessly, knowing it was too late to stop it now.
The chief steward also knew that Sikong Wen was originally dissatisfied with Ling Jiuan and others for directly dealing with Chang Qing, and he was holding a grudge in his heart.
So he went with the flow and let Sikong Yun do the fighting, also using Sikong Yun to vent his dissatisfaction.
However, the situation is now tense and if we don't step down, things will get really bad.
The chief steward was extremely anxious, he knew that if the two sides really started fighting, the consequences would be disastrous.
He tried to persuade her again earnestly.
"City Lord, we really can't hesitate any longer. We must take action as soon as possible to stop this conflict. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, our City Lord's Mansion will lose face!"
After hearing this, Sikong was silent for a moment. He knew very well that what the general manager said was true.
Finally, he sighed and made a decision.
"Okay, go call Yun'er back. I'll go meet those people in person and see what they are capable of."
Upon hearing this, the chief steward was delighted and immediately responded and retreated.
He knew that if Sikong Wen came forward in person, the conflict might be resolved peacefully.
He hurried to Xiyuan, hoping to call Sikong Yun back before the situation deteriorated further.
Just as the chief steward was about to leave, Sikong Wen suddenly called him again.
After some thought, Sikong Wen seemed to change his mind, and he said lightly.
"Forget it. I won't see them. Take someone and bring Yun'er directly to the ancestral hall and make her kneel for three days as a punishment."
Upon hearing this, the chief steward felt somewhat helpless but he could only respond.
"My subordinates know."
He turned to leave, but his heart was filled with worry.
He didn't know what the current situation in Xiyuan was, and whether Sikong Yun and those people had already started fighting.
In the tense atmosphere of Xiyuan, Liuzhu and Liuying stood firmly in front of Ling Jiuan, their eyes cold as they stared at Sikong Yun.
Liu Zhu's tone was cold.
"Master Sikong, if you don't take your people away, don't blame us for being rude!"
Sikong Yun smiled coldly, his eyes flashing with disdain and arrogance.
"Just you? You think you can stop me? That's ridiculous!"
There was a hint of cruelty and determination in his words, which had already determined the fate of Liuzhu and Liuying.
Liuying's eyes became even colder when she heard that. She tightly gripped the weapon in her hand, ready for the upcoming battle.
"Sikong Yun, don't go too far! Although we are just women, we are not to be bullied!"
Ling Jiuan gently patted Liuzhu and Liuying on the shoulders, signaling them to stay calm.
She took a few steps forward and looked directly into Sikong Yun's eyes, her tone calm but with unquestionable majesty.
"Master Sikong, we don't want to be your enemy. But if you insist on forcing us to take action, we won't be polite. When the time comes, don't blame us for not saving your face."
Sikong Yun looked at Ling Jiuan, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Ling Jiuan was not easy to deal with.
Moreover, if he really took action here, he would definitely be punished by the City Lord's Mansion.
However, he didn't want to let them go just like that.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the chief steward hurried over with several guards.
He took a look at the situation in front of him and secretly thanked himself for arriving in time.
He quickly walked to Sikong Yun and whispered.
"Mr. Yun, the city lord has ordered you to take your people out of the West Garden immediately and kneel in the ancestral hall for three days as punishment."
When Sikong Yun heard this, his expression changed, but then he returned to his indifference.
He looked at Ling Jiuan deeply, then turned around and left Xiyuan with his men.
He knew that the conflict was not over, but was only temporarily suppressed.
And the feud between him and Ling Jiuan is far from over.
After Sikong Yun left, the chief steward hurriedly bowed and apologized to Chen Yan, Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan.
He knew very well that Sikong Yun's behavior had offended several distinguished guests, and he felt filled with guilt and uneasiness.
"Please forgive me, Master Yun's behavior has offended you all."
There was a hint of sincerity and apology in the chief steward's voice.
"On behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, I express my deepest apologies to you all. I hope you can be more magnanimous and not take it personally with Master Yun."
Chen Yan looked at the chief steward, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Sikong Yun's behavior was not accidental, but a reflection of the power struggle within the City Lord's Mansion.
But he didn't want to make things difficult for the chief steward, so he just said it lightly.
"You are too polite, Chief Steward. We just hope that the City Lord's Mansion can give a reasonable explanation and compensation. We don't care about other things."
Lei Tingyi also nodded, indicating his agreement with Chen Yan's statement.
He didn't want to completely break off relations with the City Lord's Mansion, he just hoped that they could give a satisfactory answer.
Ling Jiuan smiled gently. She looked at the chief steward, her eyes flashing with cunning and intelligence.
"You are too kind, Chief Steward. We don't want to be enemies with the City Lord's Mansion. We just hope to be treated fairly. Since the City Lord has already given the punishment, we have nothing to say. We just hope that in the future, the City Lord's Mansion can handle things more fairly and avoid similar situations from happening again."
The chief steward felt relieved upon hearing this.
He knew that these distinguished guests did not want to be enemies with the City Lord's Mansion, but just wanted to be treated fairly.
On the surface at least, the matter is over.
He nodded quickly in agreement.
"Don't worry, I will report this to the city lord and ensure that similar situations will not occur again. At the same time, I will also arrange for someone to prepare some compensation for you to express our apologies."
After saying that, he took his men away.
