Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

"This servant greets the young master." A maid walked into the study cautiously, carrying tea.

Yun Chenyu heard the voice, looked up, and found that the person who came was not the person he was expecting. A sense of loss arose in his heart.

He frowned and asked, "Where did she go?"

The maid naturally understood who Yun Chenyu was referring to as "she". She replied softly, "Sir, that sister said she wanted to go to the East Courtyard to look for Xiao Shu, so she asked me to bring some tea over."

Yun Chenyu nodded, indicating that she understood, and then waved her hand to signal the maid to leave. "Well, go down."

The maid felt relieved, tiptoed out of the room and closed the door.

Yun Chenyu sat at the desk, feeling a little depressed.

Not long after, a dark figure quietly descended into the study like a ghost. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "This subordinate greets the master."

The man at the desk raised his head slightly, his eyes sharp and deep, and asked softly, "What's the situation?"

The shadow quickly replied, "My lord, as you expected, the Crown Prince of Beiyue did come to ask for Princess Laihuang's hand in marriage during this court meeting."

Hearing this, Yun Chenyu's eyes, which were originally as calm as water, darkened instantly, as if an invisible storm was brewing in his eyes.

After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, "Keep watching. Report any signs of trouble immediately."

The black shadow responded, "Yes, master!" After that, the black shadow disappeared into the study.

At the same time, at the gate of the East Courtyard, Jin Jiusi was about to step into the courtyard, but was suddenly blocked by a group of people.

The leader was Qingyu, followed by a woman and several strong servants holding wooden sticks.

Qingyu pointed at Jin Jiusi and complained to Madam Xu beside her, "Madam Xu, it's her. This ignorant slave girl injured our servants last time and even spoke wildly, wantonly offending Madam."

Mother Xu looked Jin Jiusi up and down, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes.

She turned her head to look at Qingyu, and lectured her sternly: "She is just a lowly maid, and you are so panic-stricken. You have grown up by the madam's side since you were a child. You panicked when you encountered such a small matter. How can you do things for the madam in the future?" As she said that, Mother Xu glared at Qingyu fiercely.

Qingyu was scolded and lowered her head in silence.

Mother Xu turned to look at Jin Jiusi and said sternly, "You lowly slave, you are so bold that you actually hurt the servants in the mansion! Today, I will definitely teach you a lesson on behalf of the madam and let you know the rules!" As she said that, she waved her hand to signal the servants behind her to come forward and grab Jin Jiusi.

A hint of disdain flashed in Jin Jiusi's eyes, and she dodged the servants' capture easily.

She looked at Mother Xu coldly and said, "Who do you think you are, old hag? Are you worthy enough to touch me?"

Mother Xu was stunned by the scolding, obviously she didn't expect Jin Jiusi to be so tough.

But she quickly regained her composure and sneered, "This is the Prime Minister's residence. It's not your turn as a little maid to act wildly! Come, capture her!"

The servants rushed forward again, and Jin Jiusi was surrounded, but he showed no fear.

She attacked fiercely and knocked the servants to the ground in a few strokes.

When Mrs. Xu saw this, her face turned very ugly.

Jin Jiusi looked up at Mother Xu and said sarcastically, "You know this is the Prime Minister's residence. When did it become your turn, an old, pious woman who doesn't distinguish between master and servant, to act so presumptuously here?"

"You bitch, how dare you!" Mother Xu's chest heaved with anger.

The next moment, there was a loud slap and Mother Xu was slapped to the ground.

She touched her face in disbelief. The five clearly visible fingerprints and the burning sensation on her face kept reminding her that she had been beaten.

"Mom Xu, how are you? Are you okay?" Seeing this, Qingyu hurried to help her up.

"Go away!"

After she helped Qingyu stand up, she immediately pushed Qingyu away.

"What's the commotion?" A cold voice suddenly came from the door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Madam Yun slowly approaching with a group of maids.

When Madam Xu and Qingyu saw the newcomer, they were delighted and said, "Madam!"

"Madam, Madam, please help me. That lowly slave actually hit me and told me to die. This is a slap in your face."

Mother Xu knelt at Madam Yun's feet and cried.

Qingyu also knelt down immediately and echoed, "Yes, Madam, she even hit Mother Xu on the face."

Madam Yun strolled over to Jin Jiusi, her eyes coldly scanning the people around her before finally settling on Jin Jiusi. "You're here again, you disrespectful bitch! This lady will not let you off today."

Jin Jiusi raised a mocking smile and looked straight into Madam Yun's eyes without any fear.

"Old witch, they really are worthy of being your people. Their ability to confuse right and wrong is really, really ordinary!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and their eyes widened instantly.

She actually called the lady an old witch. Is she tired of living?

Some people had witnessed Jin Jiusi's arrogance last time, and they began to get used to hearing Jin Jiusi scolding people like that again.

Madam Yun's face darkened and she ordered, "Come here, take her down."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of armored soldiers holding swords filed into the courtyard.

Yun Chenyu ordered Xiao Shu to go to the East Courtyard to find the accountant to withdraw the banknotes. Xiao Shu took the banknotes and was rushing back when he saw Jin Jiusi being besieged by the palace soldiers.

His face turned pale in an instant, and he stumbled towards Yun Chenyu's yard with the silver note.

Xiao Shu ran to Yun Chenyu's room breathlessly, "Master, something bad has happened. The girl has been trapped in the East Courtyard by the old lady and the palace soldiers..."

Yun Chenyu's heart skipped a beat and he hurried towards the garden.

He hadn't expected his mother to go to the East Courtyard. She wouldn't have gone there at this time in the past, unless...

When he arrived at the East Courtyard, he saw the palace soldiers lying on the ground in a mess, the maids and old women huddled together in the corner and shivering, and Madam Yun.

Seeing Jin Jiusi standing in the middle holding a dagger, Yun Chenyu's heart tightened and he hurried forward to check if she was injured.

"How is it? Are you hurt?" Yun Chenyu said helplessly and concernedly.

Jin Jiusi did not respond to him, but just looked at Madam Yun with cold eyes.

"Yun Chenyu, you rebellious son have let a wolf into the house. Are you trying to force me, your biological mother, to death?" Madam Yun said to Yun Chenyu angrily.

"Mother......"

"Don't call me mother, I'm not your mother!" Mrs. Yun roared.

Jin Jiusi reached out and held Yun Chenyu's hand, saying to Madam Yun, "Old witch, you are indeed unqualified to be his mother. Even more unqualified are you to be the mistress of the Yun Mansion. There are some things that you should not do if you don't want others to know."

After saying that, she took Yun Chenyu's hand and left the East Courtyard.

After taking a few steps, she pulled Yun Chenyu to a stop and said, "Xu Qianqian, do your duty as Madam Yun. Otherwise, don't blame others for tearing off your last fig leaf."
