It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Chen slumped down to the ground, tears silently falling down her cheeks. Who was she doing this for?

Nanny Chen hurried forward to comfort her, saying, "Second Madam, you mustn't panic at this moment. You absolutely cannot let that steward drag you out!"

After Nanny's reminder, Chen also started to panic. She hurriedly grabbed Nanny's hand and said, "Go quickly, go prepare the car, I want to leave the house!"

.......

In the quiet study, sunlight shines through the window lattice and casts patches of light on the desk.

Wang Wanzhi, dressed in elegant clothes, sat at the desk, patiently guiding her younger brother Wang Jingzhi in practicing calligraphy.

She held the brush in her hand, gently dipped it in ink, swirled the tip of the brush a few times on the inkstone, and then slowly drew each stroke on the rice paper. Every movement seemed so calm and unhurried.

"Jingzhi, practicing calligraphy requires a calm mind like water, eyes and hands, and even more importantly, the mind."

As she demonstrated, she explained the key points of the strokes, "Look, this character '一', although simple, requires horizontal and vertical straight lines to reveal its charm."

Wang Jingzhi sat next to his sister, his little face full of seriousness and concentration.

He imitated his sister, trying to straighten his back and hold the brush tightly in his little hands. Although the ink would occasionally spread because he couldn't control the strength well, he was not discouraged.

Whenever this happened, Wang Wanzhi would gently encourage him and personally correct his posture and brushwork.

On the table, the small stack of practice papers witnessed Wang Jingzhi's progress from the initial crookedness to the gradual formation.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

The maid rushed in, looking anxious: "Miss, it's bad! The old master suddenly felt unwell, and Steward Wang just rushed to call a doctor!"

Hearing this, he asked seriously, "What happened? Why did Grandfather fall ill?"

The maidservant was not very clear either, and only vaguely described the conflict between the old master and the second master.

Wang Wanzhi immediately put down the pen in her hand, turned her head and said to her younger brother, "Jingzhi, you practice on your own for a while. I'll go see grandpa."

Wang Jingzhi put down his brush, slid down from his chair, and said firmly, "Jingzhi also wants to see grandfather."

So the brother and sister came to Mr. Wang's yard and happened to see the housekeeper seeing the doctor out.

Wang Wanzhi stopped someone and asked the doctor about his grandfather's condition.

"The old master fainted this time because he was overly excited and angry."

He especially reminded us to keep a calm mind and stable emotions on a daily basis.

This is to avoid similar situations caused by emotional excitement again, which may even lead to more serious consequences, such as crooked mouth, hemiplegia and other stroke symptoms.

Wang Wanzhi thanked the doctor, then asked the housekeeper to send the person out, and she took her younger brother to see her grandfather.

"Grandfather, are you feeling better?"

Mr. Wang leaned against the head of the bed. When he saw his grandson coming, a rare smile appeared on his face.

He nodded and sighed, "Jingzhi, you must study hard and listen to your sister, okay?"

The little guy nodded vigorously, "Jingzhi also learned to write from his sister today!"

Mr. Wang's mood was rarely better after seeing his well-behaved grandson.

Wang Wanzhi took the opportunity to advise, "Grandfather, please take good care of your health and don't let external things get you upset or sad."

"Jingzhi is still young and still needs to rely on you!"

Yes, the granddaughter is already fifteen years old, and if she stays for another two years, she will get married, but Jingzhi is only six years old, and he has no father or mother.

In this Noda mansion, who else can protect him except him?

The second son is a hedonist. If this family is handed over to him, it will be squandered sooner or later.

Mr. Wang looked at this grandson who looked most like his eldest son, and his whole body was filled with strength.

Yes, he has to live a few more years so that he can see his grandson grow up.

At this moment, the housekeeper came running in again, his face full of panic, "Master, the police outside are here!"

Mr. Wang felt anxious and his chest felt stuffy again.

He straightened up quickly and asked, "Where's the second one?"

The old housekeeper said, "The Second Master is not in the house."

"What about Chen?" Mr. Wang asked angrily.

The old housekeeper bowed his head and replied, "A servant just saw the carriage being prepared to leave the mansion..."

There was a loud 'bang' and Master Wang angrily slapped the edge of the bed and said angrily, "Help me up..."

But before he could move, he felt dizzy.

Wang Wanzhi saw this and hurriedly persuaded the man to stop, saying soothingly, "Grandfather, don't worry. I'll go take a look. You need to rest well and you shouldn't get angry."

He then instructed his younger brother beside him, "Jingzhi, you stay here with grandfather."

Mr. Wang couldn't help but sighed.

The second brother is unreliable. When such a big thing happened, he didn't think about solving it. Instead, he just walked away and became a hands-off boss.

The second son's wife is also a very thoughtful person. As the mistress of the family, she is still thinking about going out at this time.

At this time, Mr. Wang had no one to use and he even needed his granddaughter to show up in public.

But he was physically disabled at the moment and had no other choice.

He could only warn him worriedly, "Don't argue with the officer. If there's compensation or something, just accept it."

After all, Wang Wanzhi grew up with her father. Although she was nervous at the moment, she knew that she couldn't let her grandfather worry anymore. After nodding in agreement, she led the housekeeper out of the yard.

Mr. Wang looked at his granddaughter's back and couldn't help but sigh. This child was a calm and steady one.

It would be great if Wanzhi was a man, so that he could find a wife for him and leave the clan affairs to her.

In this way, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to face his ancestors after his death.

Six-year-old Wang Jingzhi looked at his grandfather with a worried look on his face, stretched out his little hand, and hurriedly tried to calm him down. "Grandpa, don't be angry. Jingzhi will rub your face for you."

Old Master Wang looked at this grandson who looked very similar to his eldest son, and his eyes became slightly moist. He couldn't let anything happen to him, and he had to hand over the family business to Jingzhi.

On the other side, the old housekeeper followed the young lady all the way and told her about how the manager of the farm outside the city oppressed the tenants and forced good women into slavery.

After Wang Wanzhi understood the whole story, she was also filled with anger. She knew that since her second aunt took over as the housekeeper, the staff in the family had been replaced again and again.

But because she is now in a weak position, her grandfather is old and her younger brother is still young, she dare not compete with him.

Now that something so disgraceful had happened to the family, she suppressed her anger and walked to the reception room.

When Li Wen saw that it was a girl who came to deal with him, he was stunned for a moment.

It was not until Wang Wanzhi walked up to him and asked him that he came back to his senses.

Li Wen collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "This is what happened. The manager of your manor is suspected of forcing women into slavery. Tomorrow, the Lord will hold a trial. The person in charge of your mansion must be present."

Wang Wanzhi was shocked. If this was a public trial, the good reputation accumulated by his Wang family over generations would most likely be destroyed.
