The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

Xie Yurui and Chen Yuntang noticed Ruan Shuyan's gaze, and their faces suddenly darkened.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and said, "Greetings, old lady. What do you want me to do?"

Madam Xie's eyes were cold: "What happened to the servants in Tingyu Courtyard?"

The housekeeper looked puzzled: "Servants from Tingyu Courtyard?"

He subconsciously tilted his head, his eyes more puzzled: "I wonder what happened to the servants in Tingyu Courtyard?"

Madam Xie narrowed her eyes: "You don't know?"

The butler shook his head slowly.

Madam Xie was silent, and when she spoke again, she pointed her finger at Chen Yuntang: "Second brother, come out and say something."

Chen Yuntang raised his chin slightly and said, "Half of the servants in Tingyu Courtyard were replaced for no reason. I sent someone to ask and they said it was arranged by my sister-in-law. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"This……"

The butler paused, a look of confusion on his face.

"Why, you don't dare to admit it?"

The housekeeper sighed: "It's not the people in Tingyu Courtyard who are changing, but the servants in the entire mansion are changing."

"what?"

The person who shouted was not Chen Yuntang, but Old Madam Xie beside him.

"Why do you want to change people for no reason? And you haven't even told me about it yet?"

The former is not important. What really concerns Madam Xie is something she is not aware of.

The housekeeper also knew the key point and quickly replied: "The expenses of the mansion are too high. We can't afford to support so many servants, so we replaced some of the disobedient ones, and the ones left behind are all new ones."

Chen Yuntang sneered: "The ones who stayed behind are probably not newcomers, but my sister-in-law's people. My sister-in-law is really something. She can't be so unscrupulous when placing people there, right?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Ruan Shuyan, and there was even a hint of unkindness in Old Madam Xie's eyes.

"Are the second elders telling the truth? Have you planted someone in the mansion?"

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Placing a few people in such a high-profile manner is something a fool would do. Mother, do you think your daughter-in-law is a fool?"

With a rhetorical question, she directly scolded Chen Yuntang.

Xie Yurui warned coldly: "Please be careful with your words, sister-in-law, Yuntang is my wife."

Ruan Shuyan glanced at him and said, "Since she is my second brother's wife, why is he hiding behind? Isn't it more convenient for my second brother to speak about the affairs of this mansion?"

"Sister-in-law, you are joking. How can a man interfere in the affairs of the backyard? My brother and I are different."

Weird and strange?

Ah!

Ruan Shuyan raised the corners of her lips: "Second brother really can't be compared with my husband. After all, he won't let me take the blame when something happens."

After a pause, Ruan Shuyan looked at Old Madam Xie and said, "I don't need to tell you about the affairs in the mansion. Mother should know. I have something else to do, so I won't stay here."

She bent her knees slightly, then turned and left Qingfengyuan.

Listen to the bamboo garden.

As soon as Ruan Shuyan sat down, Lai's mother started to kneel down.

"Stand still."

Mother Lai froze and said apologetically, "It was because I didn't make good arrangements that the young lady suffered an unexpected disaster."

Ruan Shuyan picked up the teacup beside her, without a trace of smile in her eyes: "This matter has nothing to do with you."

The real problem is the person who is hiding behind the scenes and wants to plot against you.

The impact of today's events may not end so easily.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a salute from outside.

"I've met my lord."

"This servant greets you, my Lord."

Xie Yuchun is back.

Ruan Shuyan put down the teacup and was about to stand up when she saw Xie Yuchun striding into the room.

Mother Lai and Chuntao bowed slightly, turned around and walked out.

Their eyes met, and Xie Yuchun was obviously relieved: "They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "Do you really think that I am the kind of person who allows others to bully me?"

Xie Yuchun coughed lightly, uncomfortably changed the subject, and talked about the reason for entering the palace this time - to suppress robbers.

"The emperor wants me to leave today."

Ruan Shuyan's eyes moved slightly: "I have packed my husband's luggage, and he can leave at any time. Suppressing the bandits is not a trivial matter, so he must be careful."

"it is good."

Xie Yuchun responded, his deep eyes fell on Ruan Shuyan's face, and he looked at her for a long time before looking away.

Ruan Shuyan unconsciously raised her hand and touched her ears. Her fingertips were tightened where no one could see.

Silence spread in the room, and Lai's mother suddenly ran in in panic.

"Miss, something bad has happened to the master."

what?

Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun stood up at the same time, looked at each other, and ran quickly towards the Ruan Mansion.

As soon as she entered the door, Ruan Shuyan found that the mansion was in great chaos. Servants were walking around randomly, and some were even squatting in the corner with worried looks on their faces.

How is this going?

She looked around, and at this time, the housekeeper of the Ruan mansion came over.

"Miss, you are here."

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips: "What happened?"

"An hour ago, dozens of thugs rushed into the mansion and beat everyone they saw. The master just went out to check... But Miss, don't worry, it's just a superficial wound, no life-threatening danger."

Ruan Shuyan's face turned cold: "I know."

After saying that, she walked towards the backyard without saying a word.

Xie Yuchun frowned: "Can we report it to the police?"

"To reply to your son-in-law, I have reported it, but... no one has come yet."

Xie Yuchun was about to speak.

Behind him, his personal servant ran over.

"grown ups."

Xie Yuchun's eyes dimmed: "Leave before evening."

The servant hesitated: "But the emperor's side..."

"If there is any mistake, your master will take the blame. Why don't you go to the Jingji government office and see why no one is coming over there?"

The servant responded and left in a hurry.

On the other side, Ruan Shuyan met Bai and felt sad when she saw her sad look.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Bai shook her head gently: "I'm fine, but your father will probably have to lie down for some time."

Ruan Shuyan was surprised and said, "But I just heard the housekeeper say that it was just some superficial injuries."

"They are indeed some superficial injuries. Your father fell and broke the bones in his leg."

Ruan Shuyan opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

Bai looked at her tangled expression and raised her hand to tap her forehead: "Do you think your mother is frowning? Is there something wrong with your father?"

Ruan Shuyan touched the place where she was knocked: "Isn't this too much of a coincidence, but mother, what are you worried about?"

"Water transport, Jiangnan sent a message, and all water transport routes over there have been blocked."

After hearing this, Ruan Shuyan reacted belatedly and did not tell her parents about Huo Xiao's letter.

"The south is blocked, so let it be. The north has been cleared, and we are just waiting for the goods to be delivered over."

Ruan Shuyan said it easily, but they both knew that it was not so easy for Huo Xiao to move around in the north.

After a long while, Bai sighed: "Fortunately you have two brothers, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, a voice came from the inner room.

"You two stop chatting outside. I want to listen too."
