Qi Lian put his hands on his hips and walked to Lu Chen, and asked angrily: "Who did you buy it from this afternoon? Has the land deed been approved by the government?"

"Of course I'm going to find the owner of this manor." Jiang Hui gave Qi Lian a disdainful look, "Does this prince need to tell you?"

He couldn't afford to offend Lu Chen. How dare this fat guy treat him like this? He really didn't know what he was talking about!

When I find the chance in the future, I will make sure he gets a good beating!

"You can't tell me, right?" Qi Lian snorted coldly, "I think you are just seizing the people's land!"

"Stop farting here, you fat bastard!"

Jiang Hui spat fiercely at him, "This prince bought the manor openly. If you don't believe me, go to Yongning Marquis's Mansion and ask Lord Bai to see if he sold the manor voluntarily!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Qi Lian burst into laughter. "Master Jiang, who said this farm belongs to Master Bai? You don't even know who the owner of the farm is, who are you going to buy it from?"

When Lu Huaizhen got the manor, he had the name on the land deed changed to Bai Youyou's.

Bai Youyou had never been to the manor for such a long time, and even the manor's manager Sheng didn't know that the manor had changed its owner.

He looked at Li Lianhua in bewilderment and asked in a trembling voice, "Doesn't this farm belong to the Second Master anymore?"

When Li Lianhua came, he took the carriage of the Yongning Marquis Mansion. There was the Yongning Marquis Mansion logo on the carriage, so he never doubted it.

Now that Zhuangzi has a new master, will it...

Seeing that Manager Sheng looked worried, Li Lianhua smiled and said, "This farm belongs to the Fourth Miss. Don't worry. The Fourth Miss is a very nice person and will not chase you away."

Manager Sheng forced a smile, but he was still worried.

He has been working on this farm since it was in the hands of the second master for more than 20 years. He doesn't know whether the fourth lady will dislike him for being old and useless and drive him out of the farm.

He has lived here for half his life, has no children, and his wife passed away a few years ago. If he really leaves here, I'm afraid the second master will kick him out.

Jiang Hui on the opposite side heard Li Lianhua's words and didn't take it seriously.

Isn’t the fourth young lady she mentioned Bai Youyou? Bai Youyou is the daughter of Bai Yanlang. How dare she disobey Bai Yanlang’s orders?

"This farm will belong to me from now on, you guys better get out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

Seeing the pale golden figure, Jiang Hui's eyes lit up and he immediately waved his hands excitedly: "Crown Prince Cousin!!!"

Lu Chen and Qi Lian also looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bai Youyou and the prince coming together, both of them frowned.

Qi Lian came close to Lu Chen and whispered, "Why did this little fourth child come with the prince?"

"Da da da--"

The sound of horse hooves approached, and the prince dismounted leisurely. Jiang Hui endured the severe pain in his body and ran over. Before he could open his mouth to complain about Lu Chen, the prince raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

"Snapped!!"

Jiang Hui spun around on the ground, and the prince kicked him in the butt again.

"what!!!"

Jiang Hui screamed and fell to the ground, his head hitting the ground with a bang. He immediately saw stars and felt dizzy.

"Prince cousin..."

"Get over here!"

The prince's stern voice came from above his head. Jiang Hui wiped the blood from his nose with the back of his hand and quickly got up from the ground.

The prince showed no mercy and half of his face became visibly red and swollen.

Jiang Hui limped to the front of the prince, tears and blood all over his face. He weakly called out, "Cousin."

"This is Miss Bai Si's farm. You bastard, don't you even ask for the price before buying or selling?"

"what?"

Jiang Hui's mind was still fuzzy, and he didn't notice the look the prince gave him. He covered his face, confused, "I asked Chen Sanduo to buy this farm from Lord Bai—"

"Snapped!"

The prince was so angry at the stupid look on his face that he bit his cheeks and raised his hand to slap him again.

He reduced his strength in this slap, and Jiang Hui's face was tilted.

He covered his face with his hands and looked at the prince with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of grievance, "Cousin, why did you hit me?"

"This farm belongs to Fourth Miss Bai. What farm do you want to buy from Master Bai?"

"Isn't Bai Youyou the same as Lord Bai?"

Jiang Hui tilted his head, his gaze falling on the little girl next to Lu Chen, who had her arms folded and a half-smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes full of confusion.

"A woman's belongings are her personal property. How can Lord Bai have the right to dispose of them?!"

The prince stared at him coldly. He wished he could stuff this spoiled and lawless cousin into his stomach and retrain him.

When other fathers deal with things in their daughter's hands, even their original wives dare not say a word. But can Bai Yanlang be the same?

He can't even decide the marriage of his own children. Apart from not marrying into the family as a son-in-law, Bai Yanlang is actually no different from a son-in-law.

The prince pretended to raise his hand, and Jiang Hui was so scared that he shrank his neck and dodged to the side.

"Why don't you apologize to the Fourth Miss immediately?"

Jiang Hui was somewhat reluctant. He glanced at the prince's dark face and trembled with fear. He turned around obediently and said to Bai Youyou, "Fourth Miss, I'm sorry. I was rude. I didn't know this manor was yours. There was some misunderstanding."

Bai Youyou sneered, "You spent one thousand taels of silver to buy my farm. It could be a misunderstanding, but could it be that the person who beat me was also a misunderstanding?"

Li Lianhua's hair was disheveled, and there was a purple slap mark on her face. She hugged her arm and walked to Bai Youyou, choking slightly as she said, "Fourth Miss, this Lord Jiang broke into the manor by force and beat people on purpose."

Just then, a large group of farmers carrying various farm tools rushed over from a distance.

"I said it was Steward Sheng!"

An old lady with gray hair, holding a hoe covered in dirt in her hand, faced everyone present.

Her hands were shaking and her eyes were filled with fear, but she still mustered up her courage and shouted loudly, "If anyone dares to bully our Steward Sheng, I will fight you!"

"You can't bully our Steward Sheng!"

"Yes, if you dare to bully our Manager Sheng, we will fight you!"

The farmers formed a circle, surrounding Bai Youyou and the others in the middle. Men, women, young and old all bulged their eyes and glared at them with indignation.

Manager Sheng was supported by Xiaoqing. Looking at these people who stood up for him, his heart felt like it was burning on fire.

His eyes were filled with tears. He gently pushed Xiaoqing away, limped to the middle, and bowed to the farmers who were covered in mud with his hands clasped.

"Thank you all for your kindness. Our host is here. You can all go back now."

Standing here are the Crown Prince and the Heir of the Marquisate. These people are of noble status and are not people that they can afford to offend.

Li Lianhua also said: "Our fourth young lady is here, she will make the decision for us, fellow villagers, you can all go back."
