"Madam, you are joking. I am just a servant."

Jiang Xiyu walked step by step to Mrs. Li and stopped about ten centimeters in front of her. "So Mrs. Li also knows that she is just a servant. It is not natural for a servant to help the master to clean up. Why is Mrs. Li angry?"

Li Pozi was frightened by Jiang Xiyu's momentum and stepped back repeatedly, stammering, "I, I..."

I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

I don’t know why, but I always feel that Jiang Xiyu now is not the same girl who would not stand up for herself when she was bullied.

Now, she is surrounded by the oppression of those in higher positions against her, a lower one.

"In that case, Mrs. Li, please count these dowries one by one."

Jiang Xiyu turned around, took the dowry list from the table and handed it to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li looked at the dowry list in front of her, thinking about how Xu Rui seemed to like Jiang Xiyu very much after he came back recently, so she took it reluctantly and said, "Yes."

"Count carefully. If I find that the count is wrong, I will tell the Marquis and ask him to help you check it."

These threatening words made Mrs. Li's body stiffen.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will check everything carefully and won't trouble you, Lord Marquis."

As she spoke, she emphasized her words more and more.

She held the dowry list in her hand tighter and tighter. Originally, she was sent by Zheng to disgust Jiang Xiyu, but she didn't expect that before she could even exert any strength, Jiang Xiyu had already given it to someone else.

Jiang Xiyu pretended not to see it, and said to the others with a smile on her face, "You guys go back and rest, just leave this to Granny Li."

The other servants looked at each other, but nodded and left.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li was filled with anger. If she were to count these dozen cages by herself, it would take her forever.

"Mrs. Li, what's wrong? Are you unwilling to work for me?" Jiang Xiyu glanced at her indifferently.

"I dare not, madam."

Thinking that Jiang Xiyu is now in power, Mrs. Li no longer dares to be arrogant.

"In that case, take a good inventory. We'll go and rest first. I'll come check your results tomorrow."

After saying that, he took Qing'er out.

Mrs. Li turned pale with anger. She spat at her back and cursed, "Wait, I'll make you cry for everything you did to me today."

After leaving, Qing'er felt a little uneasy, "Madam, Mrs. Li is the old lady's person. If she knew about this, would she embarrass you?"

"Let her make things difficult for us if she wants to. We shouldn't be afraid of her." Jiang Xiyu said indifferently.

In fact, she did that on purpose because she saw that Li Pozi was Zheng's person, and it was also a warning to Zheng. She is no longer the same person she used to be. If you want to hurt her, you should consider the consequences first.

"But..." Qing'er was still very worried that Jiang Xiyu would be retaliated by Zheng.

Before she could say anything, Jiang Xiyu interrupted her.

"Don't worry. We need to stand up for ourselves and not let ourselves be bullied like before. If someone bullies you in the future, don't let them bully you like before. You need to fight back the way they bullied you. If anything goes wrong, I'll be there to support you."

Qing'er was stunned and deeply moved.

Now that Xu Rui is back, although he brought a woman with him, it seems that he still has feelings for Jiang Xiyu, so their lady will have a backer in the future and will no longer be afraid of being bullied by others.

Qing'er smiled and nodded, "Okay, Madam, I understand."

The next day, when Jiang Xiyu got up, Qing'er came to report that all the dowry in the warehouse was arranged neatly and in order, but Mrs. Li had gone back.

Jiang Xiyu wrote something and said without raising her head, "I understand."

Qing'er seemed to be hesitant to speak, with an impatient look on her face.

Jiang Xiyu seemed to sense the restlessness in her heart. She put the brush aside, looked up and asked, "But is there anything else?"

Qing'er paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Did the old lady ask you to go find her?"

Jiang Xiyu untied her rolled-up sleeves and walked out, saying, "Let's go."

Qing'er chased after him, full of worry, "Madam, the old lady is looking for you, could it be about what happened yesterday?"

"I don't know. I'll find out soon after I go and have a look."

When Jiang Xiyu arrived at Zheng's residence, she was the only one sitting in the first seat.

Jiang Xiyu saluted her, but she pretended not to see it. Jiang Xiyu sat down below her and asked directly, "Mother, why did you suddenly call me here? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid, Zheng slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, causing some of the tea to spill out. She looked up and glared at her coldly, "Jiang Xiyu, I didn't expect you to be so capable that you even dare to bully my people."

Jiang Xiyu said with a smile. "What do you mean, mother? How come your daughter-in-law doesn't understand?"

Zheng's anger intensified. "You're still pretending! You knew Mrs. Li was mine, yet you asked her to help you pack your things for an entire night. When she came back, she was completely exhausted. The dark circles and red bloodshot eyes made me feel heartbroken. She's been by my side for decades, and I couldn't bear to treat her like this, yet you ordered her around like this."

"Mother treats the servants very well. My daughter-in-law will set an example and follow her mother's example in the future."

Zheng choked. She could hear the sarcasm in her words and her face turned pale and blue.

"Jiang Xiyu, don't think that just because Rui'er is back, you have someone to back you up and can order the people in my house around."

"Mother, you're worrying too much. I haven't ordered the people in your house around. I've always respected you and the servants in your house."

"Stop pretending here. You shouldn't give me an explanation for treating the people in my house like this." Zheng said with a cold face.

"What explanation does mother want? Mrs. Li came in on her own initiative to clean the house for me. I saw that she was someone close to mother, and I thought mother sent her to take care of me. I must have entrusted her with an important task. Did I do something wrong?" Jiang Xiyu looked at Zheng with an innocent face.

Zheng thought that she sent Li Pozi over to give her a chance to ridicule Jiang Xiyu in order to avenge the frustration she had caused her during this period of time, but she didn't expect that she would be outmaneuvered by her.

Zheng was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't say a word in rebuttal.

Suddenly, Xu Rui's voice came from outside the door.

"Mother."

Following behind came several families from the Xu Mansion and Xu Rong.

When Zheng saw them come in, she tried hard to suppress her temper and glanced at her indifferently without any expression.
