As soon as the woman entered, she saw that the space in the dilapidated temple was so small, and there were so many people in her family that she was afraid it would not be able to accommodate them all.

Thinking of this, her eyes swept across Murong Ling'er and others in the ruined temple as quickly as lightning. Seeing that these people were all the elderly, the weak, women and children, her eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

His eyes narrowed and he had an idea in mind.

She turned to face the crowd and said arrogantly, "Our young lady needs this dilapidated temple, all of you, get out of here!"

Chu Yinyin was immediately furious when she heard this. She stood up and shouted, "This shabby temple isn't yours. Why are you asking us to leave? We're all here to avoid the rain. Don't you understand the principle of first come, first served?"

The woman sneered, "We have so many people, I advise you to be sensible and not to cause trouble!"

Chu Chu also stood up and said righteously: "We are all in trouble. We should help each other instead of bullying others."

The woman was furious and said, "Little girl, stop talking nonsense! Otherwise, you will be in trouble!"

"Today is the day our young lady goes to visit the young master of the Yuan family. We absolutely cannot let these people offend our young lady. Come on! Drive all these people out of this dilapidated temple!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the servants rushed out like vicious wolves, each one with their fangs and claws bared, looking aggressive. Some servants rolled up their sleeves, waved their fists, and cursed: "Get out of here now! Don't block the young lady's way!"

Some of them simply reached out to pull everyone, trying to forcibly drag them out of the ruined temple.

At this critical moment, Chifeng suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, and shouted angrily: "Stop! If anyone dares to attack me today, I will show no mercy with the sword in my hand!"

Except for Murong Ling'er who was still sitting there, everyone else quickly stood up.

The tall, thin official's hair stood on end with fury, veins popping out on his forehead. He picked up a nearby wooden stick and shouted, "You bunch of bullies, don't even think about getting away with this!"

Chu Chu was also not afraid. With her hands on her hips, she glared at the servants and said, "In broad daylight, is there still any law?"

When the woman saw Chifeng and his men actually draw out their shining swords, her face instantly turned ashen.

She originally thought that the people in the dilapidated temple were just a group of weak people who had no power to resist, but she never thought that the other party would dare to draw their swords against her.

For a moment, she panicked and stepped back unconsciously, shouting in a trembling voice: "You...you don't mess around!"

The two sides glared at each other, and the air was filled with tension.

Seeing the other party's tough attitude, the servants hesitated and did not dare to step forward rashly. Some servants secretly looked at the woman, waiting for her further instructions.

"Cough cough cough..."

Just at this moment, a soft and weak cough came from the sedan chair.

"Nurse, don't act so rashly." The voice from the sedan was soft, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, the woman's face instantly turned pale, and she trembled with fear. She hurriedly bowed her head and apologized terribly, "Miss, it's all my fault for being confused for a moment and not thinking things through properly. I made such a serious mistake. I truly deserve death. Please forgive me, Miss. I'll make them stop right away."

After saying this, she frantically waved her hands at the servants, shouting at the top of her voice, "Get out! Get out! Stop embarrassing yourself here!"

Upon seeing this, the servants immediately retreated quickly like the tide, with their heads lowered, not daring to say a word.

At this time, the tense atmosphere in the dilapidated temple finally eased a little.

However, everyone's expressions remained solemn, and their hearts were still filled with anxiety and tension.

Chifeng tightly gripped the big knife in his hand and stared at the other party vigilantly. Huo Jianjie frowned and protected his family worriedly. Murong Linger sat in place, her eyes full of contemplation, and no one knew what she was thinking!

After the eldest daughter spoke first, the wet nurse immediately restrained her arrogance and dared not act recklessly anymore.

Although she was expressly forbidden to use force to resolve the matter, she was very confident that with her years of experience, she had plenty of clever ways to drive this group of people away.

The wet nurse first focused her attention on the two women, Wang and Deng. Her eyes were extremely sharp. She only took a quick look at their clothes and, relying on her experience and intuition, accurately judged that they must be nobles who had encountered difficulties and were down and out.

However, facing such a person, the wet nurse showed no fear at all.

Without hesitation, she reached into her sleeve and took out a bulging purse.

Then, a perfectly executed look of apology flashed across her face, her expression perfectly timed. She then opened her mouth and spoke, "The situation just now was truly urgent. I was impulsive and may have offended you. I hope you two ladies will be magnanimous and forgive me. I'm filled with remorse and regret, and I hope you two ladies won't be so harsh with me."

She opened the purse in her hand, revealing the silver inside. She spoke again, "Madams, the silver in this purse is enough for you to find a comfortable place to live! This dilapidated temple is dirty and rundown, and it's really not suitable for you. As long as you take your people away, this silver will be yours."

Wang and Deng exchanged a look, their eyes filled with determination. Wang snorted coldly and said, "Although we are down and out, we are not people who can be bought by money. We will not give up this dilapidated temple!"

The smile on the nanny's face froze instantly. She didn't expect these two people to be so tactless.

The nurse gritted her teeth, took out another handful of silver from her purse, and said to the people around her, "Everyone, how about we divide this silver among ourselves and leave here?"

Chu Yinyin glared at the nurse and said, "We will never give up our shelter for this little bit of money. Don't even think about it!"

The wet nurse's eyes widened. She had never expected this group of people to be so stubborn. The anger in her heart suddenly erupted like a volcano.

Her already slightly sharp face was now extremely distorted by anger, her eyes seemed to be bursting with fire, and she stared fiercely at the two destitute women in front of her, as if she wanted to eat them alive.

"You ungrateful fellows!" The nurse was furious, her voice trembling, and her hands involuntarily clenched the corners of her clothes tighter.

Then, she waved her sleeves angrily, took quick and fierce steps, stirring up a gust of wind, and turned and hurried towards the sedan chair.

He Yulan sat quietly in the sedan chair. Every word of the fierce quarrel outside the sedan chair was clearly heard by her.

She was also filled with anger at the moment, and felt that this group of people were simply shameless and had no sense of propriety.

If today was not the critical day for her to meet Yuan Lang, and she could not afford to make any mistakes, and had to consider the overall situation and maintain superficial harmony, she would have given an order to drive away all these unreasonable people. How could she tolerate them running wild here?

He Yulan thought about how she had carefully prepared for a long time and was looking forward to having a wonderful meeting with Yuan Lang, but it was disrupted by these two unreasonable women. The anger in her heart burned more and more fiercely. She held the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand, bit her lips with her pearly teeth, and tried her best to calm herself down.

At this moment, the noise outside the sedan chair still showed no sign of stopping. He Yulan frowned, wondering why the wet nurse had been gone for so long and still the matter had not been properly dealt with.

She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It would be terrible if this delayed her meeting with Yuan Lang.

He Yulan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, silently hoping that the nanny could resolve the trouble outside as soon as possible.
