Seeing the black and gray bed being carried over, Old Madam Zhan felt dizzy.
She hissed, "Why is there only the bed left?"
Lin Yiwan lamented, "And this was snatched away by the servants at the risk of their lives. Old Madam, you went to such great lengths to save Zhan Yu. People who know him think he's your adopted grandson, while those who don't think he's your biological grandson. You've even neglected your own yard!"
Another heart-piercing remark made Madam Zhan tremble violently all over, and her face turned ashen and ugly.
She subconsciously argued, "Nonsense! He's the child I raised myself, so naturally I'll favor him more!"
Lin Yiwan retorted, "But even if you love him, there has to be a limit. He made a serious mistake, and you should at least consider the reputation of the Marquisate. He is no longer your grandson in name only!"
Old Madam Zhan was immediately scolded to the point of feeling ashamed. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Originally, she had called these people here on purpose, intending to give Lin Yiwan a warning so that she would quickly ask him to let her into the Marquis' Mansion and give her a good courtyard.
However, she did not expect that her face would be peeled off and stepped on, so that the nobles who were watching the fun pointed fingers at her.
What was particularly unbearable for her was that she actually heard people whispering, "Do you think this Old Madam Zhan has something going on with her adopted grandson? When he got into trouble with the Zhongyong Palace, everyone else tried every means to distance themselves from it, but she, on the other hand, ignored the entire courtyard and rushed to his rescue. This relationship is very intriguing!"
Old Madam Zhan felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. Those comments were like needles piercing her ears, causing pain in her eardrums.
She didn't dare to delay any longer and had to leave quickly to avoid letting Lin Yiwan suspect her relationship with Zhan Yu.
If that little bitch tries to stir up trouble in front of Zhan Yan again, she will really be ruined.
The identity of the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion has brought her many benefits, and she must not let it go to waste.
She spoke quickly, "Since my yard is still under renovation, I will move to the manor first. Once it's finished, the Marquis will personally take me back!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Yiwan to say anything else, he turned around and quickly got into the carriage.
Watching the carriage roll away, Ling'er couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is our Marquis really going to pick her up?"
Lin Yiwan said disdainfully, "Let her go back and dream!"
She remembered that her uncle loved the dim sum on Koi Street, so she told the driver to go to the dim sum shop first.
However, as soon as I turned out of the alley, I was blocked.
I saw a large black coffin parked in front of a drug store, with a woman and a little girl crying loudly beside it.
The driver said worriedly, "Madam, it's not easy for us to turn around now. How about we wait a while?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Let's go find out what happened up ahead!"
Soon, the driver came back quickly with a sullen face.
He gritted his teeth and said, "The quack doctor at Huichun Hall is a despicable person. Not only did he ruin the patient's family, he even tricked the patient into mortgaging his daughter to pay for the medicine. Now that the patient is dead, he's here to seek justice!"
Lin Yiwan subconsciously asked, "Who is the owner of Huichuntang?"
The driver spoke in a cryptic voice, "Princess Zhongyong's brother-in-law is called Mei Renxing. He's a well-known playboy who bullies men and women and does all sorts of evil things!"
Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed. She remembered that in her previous life, there was a very strange case of a missing little girl in the capital.
Those were little girls between eight and ten years old, in the beautiful period of growing up like willow branches.
But they get lost while shopping or playing, which makes their parents at home very worried.
The government sent officials from the Dali Temple to investigate the matter, but they still found nothing.
It was not until the young daughter of the current Minister of Revenue disappeared that Emperor Sheng An ordered the government to search the entire city without sleep and gave them three days to hand over the culprit.
She remembered that the case was actually solved at that time. The murderer was the eldest son of the Mei family. The bodies of all the girls were dug out from the small courtyard where he lived. It was said that their deaths were tragic.
Just as she was lost in her memories, Ling'er started shouting, "Oh no! These bullies are trying to snatch the little girl away! They're going too far!"
She didn't hesitate any longer and looked at Zi'er pitifully: "Go and save her, at least block it for a while!"
Zi'er subconsciously gripped the sword in her hand, but her eyes looked at Lin Yiwan.
Lin Yiwan knew that she was waiting for her instructions.
Ling'er's eyes immediately turned red, and she murmured hoarsely, "Madam, I know that my status as a servant shouldn't be so kind, but that little girl is innocent. Her father died of illness. How could she be captured by Huichun Hall again? It's clearly their fault!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Don't cry, I will save her!"
After saying that, she winked at Zi'er.
Zi'er rushed out like an arrow.
"Bang!" Her scabbard suddenly hit a burly man, causing him to scream in pain.
He hissed and shouted, "Where did you come from, you little bitch? How dare you meddle in other people's business and hit me?"
Zi'er ignored him and continued to pull the scabbard in her hand hard towards the big man's arm.
It seemed as if he would beat the girl to death if she didn't release her grip on him.
The big man was scared to death. He didn't know where this crazy woman came from. She attacked him so cruelly. If he continued to fight, he would lose his arm.
He didn't hesitate any longer and quickly let go.
The freed little girl quickly returned to the woman, her face covered in tears.
The big man stared at Zi'er fiercely: "Whose dog are you? How dare you meddle in Huichuntang's affairs? Do you want to die?"
Zi'er still didn't say a word, just stood beside the woman and the little girl to protect them.
The big man immediately laughed at her, "So she's just a little mute. What a shame with such a good-looking face. She can't even scream when she's being pressed down. How boring!"
"Swish!" Zi'er's long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sharp cold light suddenly attacked the big man's waist.
"Pah!" A bloody mass fell from his waist. Because the speed was so fast, he didn't even feel the pain.
It was not until he subconsciously reached out to touch it and saw blood on his hands that he cried out in anger: "You dead mute, you dare to cut off my life, Genzi, you are looking for death!"
Zi'er snorted coldly, put her fingers directly into her mouth, and whistled sharply and loudly.
A black eagle suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swooped down, picked up the bloody thing and flew away.
The big man finally reacted and shouted, "That's mine! That's mine!"
I chased it for a few steps, but there was no trace of it anywhere except the eagle droppings that fell on my head.
The big man pounded the ground with his fist in anger. He angrily ordered, "Come here, capture this little bitch. I'm going to peel off her skin and tear her bones!"
As his voice fell, many black-clad thugs quickly appeared in Huichun Hall.
They all looked ferocious and surrounded Zi'er and the woman and her daughter with hideous faces.
