The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"There's no throne to inherit in the family, so why give birth to so many children?"

Song Shengfu said it a little unhappily. She also felt speechless. When she went out to a banquet, those people always talked about their descendants. Some of them who she didn't get along with always talked about her descendants.

What's wrong with her having fewer grandchildren? One of her grandchildren is worth ten of them. I don't know what's the comparison.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she shuddered. Oh my god, my mother is so old that she dares to say anything. Fortunately, everyone in the house is ours, so she doesn't have to worry about it getting out.

Lu quickly changed the subject

"Mother, Kang Ge'er has become more sensible and knows how to care for his younger brothers and sisters. He looks completely different from before."

Speaking of Kang Ge'er, Lu's heart softened. Her child had finally grown up.

Song Shengfu was wearing the longevity spiral silver bracelet bought for her by Kang Ge'er. Although it was not worth much, it was all from the child's love.

"Kang Ge'er has become much more sensible. Every time he comes back from going out, he brings us something. This child really cares about his family."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu covered her laughing mouth with a handkerchief. Ever since her mother-in-law always praised Kang Ge'er for bringing back things, Kang Ge'er became more energetic and was not used to coming back without something in his hands.

"That's right. I heard that the pocket money he was given this month was already spent right away. But he's a bit too extravagant. Mother should talk to him more. Otherwise, when he's 15 or 16 and ready to get married, he won't even have enough money left over for himself."

Although she said this, there was no blame on Lu's face. After all, she only had one child and her future would all belong to Kang Ge'er. How could she miss him?

Song Shengfu shook her head. "Spend it as you like. There's a fixed amount every month. Whether they spend it or save it is up to them. Kang Ge'er may be extravagant, but he spends all his money on the family instead of doing anything dirty. That's already a good thing."

When Lu mentioned this, her alarm bells suddenly rang. Kang Ge'er would soon be ten years old, and she had heard before that a boy from another family was taken to play in the building.

"That's true. In the next few days, the servants around the children should be careful not to learn the outside world's customs and corrupt their brothers and sisters."

"That's right."

Song Shengfu and Lu were chatting here. They didn't take the incident seriously, thinking it was just a quarrel between children.

Little did they know that someone had already come to them aggressively, ready to demand an explanation.

"This is outrageous! The Duanbo family abused their power to bully our daughter for such a worthless thing. She was so frightened that she went home and fell ill for two or three days. My wife was expecting an apology from the Duanbo family, but they acted as if nothing had happened. My wife even personally sent a letter to accept the invitation, but she still couldn't even get in. The Duanbo family is truly powerful."

An old woman was shouting at the gate of Duan Bo's mansion, pointing at the lintel and cursing, attracting many people to come and watch.

In just a few vague words, the old woman described Duan Bofu as a man who bullied people and officials' daughters by taking advantage of his power.

The uninformed people were whispering and talking in low voices. The old woman became even more arrogant when she saw this, her eyes full of pride. She then threw herself on the threshold of Duan Bo's house, crying and singing.

When the guard at the gate heard what was happening, he saw that it was an unfamiliar woman and thought that someone was making a scene, so he picked up a stick and prepared to drive her away.

"Where did this madman come from? This is Duan Bo's residence, why don't you leave immediately?"

Seeing this, the old woman was not afraid at all. Instead, she stuck to the guard's stick, then shouted that Duan Bofu was beating people and fell to the ground.

Then there were loud shouts, and the people saw that she was pretending, but the atmosphere was right, and the discussions became louder, and from time to time a few words of booing could be heard from the crowd.

The old woman thought that the two guards at Duan Bo's mansion would be frightened and would ask the person in charge to come over.

Although her prediction came true, she didn't expect that the people from Duan Bo's Mansion would really fight.

Duan Xing and Duan He are servants of the Duan family. Their ancestors all worked for the Duan family, and their father took the surname of the master.

Therefore, the two brothers were able to work as guards in the mansion, and they had made a lot of money in the past. Their grandfather always talked about how prosperous the Duanbo Mansion was in the past, so the two brothers were also very proud of their master.

This kind of family-born child is the most loyal, and the two brothers are tactful and flexible. They can tell whether some people are good or bad with just one glance.

The old woman who was making a scene at the door was dressed in ordinary clothes, and her eyes were full of calculation. It was obvious that she was deliberately looking for trouble.

Duan He signaled with his eyes to someone inside the door, and that person left.

Duan Xing and Duan He looked at each other, then picked up the sticks in their hands and hit the old woman.

The old woman fell to the ground. Seeing the stick coming down, she had no way to escape for a moment and could only hold her head and take the beating.

Duan Xing said as he beat him: "Where did this madman come from? He's running wild in Duan Bo's house. He doesn't want to die, does he?"

The old woman screamed and shouted, asking people to stop and reveal their identities immediately.

"Stop, stop, I'm a maid from Lord Ma's house, and I'm here to deliver an invitation today."

Duan Xing was about to stop when Duan He hit the old woman on the mouth with a stick. The woman was so painful that she couldn't speak.

"Bullshit! If you're delivering an invitation, why don't you knock on the door? Instead, you're loudly announcing it at the door. I think you have bad intentions. Beat me!"

The two brothers' sticks all fell on the old woman, and the people around hurriedly retreated when they saw this.

Duan and Yu Guang saw this and slowly stopped.

You dare to act wild in front of the Bo's Mansion. If I don't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, anyone will dare to come in the future.

Influenced by their family, Duan and Duan Xing believed that the Duan family was one of the most noble families in the capital, and that no other family was worthy of being compared with the Duan family.

Although this is true in terms of status, if an old noble without power does not have outstanding descendants, he will eventually become obscure in the crowd.

When Song Shengfu was cleaning up the servants in the mansion, she hesitated whether to replace a group of guards. After all, the servants of the Duan family all blindly worshipped the Bo Mansion, spoke servilely to their masters, and looked down on outsiders.

After thinking about it, Song Shengfu decided to place people in positions that best suited them, such as guards at the door.

Here it comes in handy. To deal with such a scoundrel, we can only use scoundrel methods.

Beat the enemy first and make them surrender. This strategy is called using force first and courtesy later.

Duan Xing and Duan He dragged the man down the stairs, threw him aside, and then watched over him to make sure he didn't get away.

The old woman lost her arrogance and sat slumped aside, shouting in a low voice.

Whenever she made a louder sound, Duan He would pretend to hit her, which scared her so much that she would shut up immediately.

"Please forgive me, everyone. My brother and I were guarding inside when we heard a commotion outside and went out to investigate. We saw this woman acting like a fool. We wouldn't tolerate such a lowly person at the gate of our mansion, so we had to teach her a lesson."
