It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

The stalemate lasted for half a minute, and then Nanny Huang gave in and ordered someone to bring back Jiang Yan and others who had been sent to the laundry room.

By the time Jiang Yan and the others returned to the guest house with their frozen hands, the Chang family, who had heard the news, had also slowly arrived.

Old Master Chang and Old Madam Chang are old and in poor health, and usually don't like to take charge of things. Although Nanny Huang is Old Madam Chang's right-hand woman, the servant who delivered the letter hesitated briefly and then turned into the courtyard of the eldest lady of the Chang family, who was in charge.

Madam Chang Da was not familiar with Fu Weishen. They had only met briefly a few times in Madam Chang Lao's courtyard. As she was busy with trivial matters, she pushed the matter over to Madam Chang Er to handle.

Then, before the servant who reported the news left, he specifically ordered that the news be blocked and not to reach the ears of Old Master Chang and Old Madam Chang until the matter was over.

Mrs. Chang didn't care that Fu Weixin might receive a more severe punishment, but she was worried that the two old men would become sick after hearing that she, a young woman, was armed with a weapon, which would cause unnecessary trouble for them.

Madam Chang Er, who was lying in the room listening to the maid singing, received an urgent task and secretly blamed Madam Chang Da for being cunning.

She was not close to Fu Weixin, and the matter involving this girl was still a bit tricky and difficult to handle. After thinking about it, she went to find Chang Chao and Uncle Chang San to deal with it together.

Among the Chang family, apart from Old Madam Chang, he was the only one who had more contact with this brave girl and had more experience.

……

Chang Chaotong waved away the servants who surrounded him, and the guest house immediately became much more spacious.

Then he said in a calm and normal tone: "Now that the person has been sent back to you, put down the scissors. It is unlucky to see blood during the New Year."

Yile, Jiang Yan and Chunying had already taken out a bench or broom from the side room. The three of them, armed with weapons, protected Fu Nulang around her to prevent any sneak attacks.

Fu Weixin did not listen to Chang Chaotong's words, but instead used this opportunity to make his own request: "I want to go back to Heding Prefecture."

Chang Chaotong refused without a second thought: "If I leave before the New Year is over, I'll be laughed at."

"I don't care whether people laugh at me or not." Fu Weixin insisted on leaving.

Chang Chaotong frowned slightly, his expression unhappy: "Do you hate the Chang family so much?"

What kind of nonsense is this? Jiang Yan raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Chang Chaotong. Anyone with eyes and ears would know whether Miss Fu was doing well in the Chang family these days.

Even Mrs. Chang, who was standing aside pretending that she didn't exist, couldn't help but curl her lips. The Chang family all loved to tell lies with their eyes open.

Fu Weixin pursed her lips and did not answer, but the resistance on her face revealed her disgust.

She repeated her request again: "Send someone to take me back."

Chang Chaotong ignored Fu Nulang's pleas and tried to persuade her gently a few times, but to no avail. He didn't want to stand in the cold wind and engage in a pointless standoff with a girl. He said bluntly, "You're just a servant. Who do you really think you can threaten?"

Then he snorted coldly and ordered the people around him: "After I leave, you take people to lock the front and back doors of the courtyard. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission."

After saying this, Chang Chaotong left straight away. Madam Chang Er looked at Fu Weishen, not knowing what to say, so she simply followed him without stopping.

Creak~ Creak~, this is the sound of the east and west doors of the guest house closing.

Ding-clang~Ding-clang~, this is the gatekeeper locking the door with a key chain.

The yard became quiet again. Jiang Yan turned around and looked at Fu Nulang. She had put down the hand holding the scissors without knowing when. She looked a little dazed. After a while, she walked silently into the dormitory.

Another gust of cold wind blew by. Jiang Yan hunched his neck, picked up Chunying with a broom in his left hand, and Yile with his right hand, and asked quietly, "Let's go?"

She had to go back to the house, change her clothes and warm herself by the fire. If she continued to freeze, she would catch a cold and there would be no place to see a doctor or get medicine.
