The incident at General Zhang's mansion became known to the whole city within half a day.

In the afternoon, the emperor called General Zhang to the palace and gave him a severe scolding.

Your Majesty...General Zhang really doesn't know his own weight. He dares to offend the wife of Duke Dingguo.

Lan Yuerou, but he was the little sister who grew up in his arms, and he was reluctant to say a harsh word to her. When he arrived at the general's mansion, he was almost beaten.

And that damn Zhang Chengyi, he's just a coward.

They said they were suppressing bandits, but those bandits were just a mob.

They were just a group of idle hooligans who got together and ran to the official road to rob people, but they didn't even dare to kill anyone.

Because the place where they were causing trouble was close to the capital, and there were quite a lot of people causing trouble, someone reported it to the court, which led to the suppression of the bandits.

Originally, we could just send someone with some soldiers to scare them and that would be the end of the problem.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chengyi, that idiot, got seriously injured. He deserves to be killed for his stupidity.

The emperor gave Zhang Chengyi a title out of respect for returning to the court injured, mainly because he didn't want to discourage the generals.

I didn't expect that Zhang Jiangfu would still start a fight and even want to attack the wife of Duke Dingguo. He is really courting death.

After the emperor finished scolding General Zhang, the empress dowager sent a nanny from the palace to General Zhang's house in the evening.

Old Madam Zhang was in the backyard, entertaining the nanny with great respect.

The nanny had a stone face, her hair neatly tied in a bun, and she said to Madam Zhang in a serious tone, "Madam, I've been entrusted by the Queen Mother to teach the rules to the eldest daughter of the mansion."

"The Queen Mother said that she would only ask me to go back when the young lady understands the rules."

"If you still don't understand, I'll keep teaching you in the General's Mansion until you understand."

Old Mr. Zhang has a hard time expressing his grievances: Ruyi is considered useless. With such a reputation, she can't get married in the capital.

In the evening, Old Madam Zhang and General Zhang and his mother sat in the old lady's room, looking at each other in silence.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her haggard son and said helplessly, "Let's hold a funeral for Cheng Yi tomorrow."

"Under these circumstances, it's really not appropriate to keep the body at home any longer. It's better to bury it as soon as possible."

The old lady recited the Buddhist beads in her hand so vigorously that her fingertips turned white.

"And Ruyi, it's useless."

"The current state of your legitimate son and daughter is really detrimental to the General's Mansion."

"I heard that the bastard is still in his hometown in the countryside. He should come back sometime."

"We can't let the General's Mansion be left without a successor."

The old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

He let the bitter tea linger in his mouth for a while before continuing, "Choose a concubine from among the concubines to give that bastard a status."

"Your wife is just confused. Teach her a lesson when you have time. She doesn't look like the mistress of the house at all."

General Zhang drooped his hands weakly and said in a low voice, "I understand, mother. I am an unfilial son. I have caused you so much worry at your age."

"I'll make arrangements in a moment. Cheng Yi will be buried as soon as possible, and I'll send someone to bring that bastard back tomorrow."

Xu Miao and the others didn't know what was going on in the general's mansion.

Because the Duke Dingguo's mansion was also in chaos.

The two young masters heard that their mother went to the general's mansion to pay her respects and was almost beaten.

They rushed to the Duke's Mansion to visit their mother.

Damn it! Their own mother is pregnant. They even dare to hit a pregnant woman. This General's Mansion is courting death.

"Mom, are you okay? Is my sister okay?"

The two young masters agreed that their mother wanted to give birth to a younger sister.

"Fuck! General Zhang's mansion! I'm bringing my men to raze it right now."

"I'm going to pull that Zhang Chengyi out of the coffin. He deserves my mother to personally go and burn incense for him." The second young master's eyes turned red with anger.

Is this because he is bullying his father because he is not at home? Does he think there is no one in the Duke's Mansion?

The eldest son supported his wife and looked his mother up and down. He also said angrily to the second son, "Second son, I'll take people there soon. This general's mansion is courting death. How dare they touch my mother?"

"Cut him out for me."

The lady was so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed: "Who are you talking about, your father? Your father is not dead yet."

"Let's see who dares to cause trouble today. If you dare to cause trouble, I will die in front of you."

Madam, she is used to crying, making a scene and then hanging herself. The key is that she has no other choice but to hang herself.

Finally, it was only after the lady coaxed, threatened and scolded the two young masters that they gave up their intention of picking up their weapons and leading the guards to attack the general's mansion.

This lady has a lucky life. Ever since they learned that she was pregnant, these two young men have come to her house every day to pay their respects to their mother.

Whenever I buy something for my wife, I must bring some for my mother.

I guess it was because he saw how hard his wife went through during her pregnancy that he thought of how his own mother raised them in the same way.

As the saying goes, one does not know the kindness of parents until he has children.

Finally, the lady was annoyed by them and issued an ultimatum.

Tell them not to come to the house again and just stay at home and spend time with their wives.

The two young masters stopped paying their respects every day and ordered their servants to come and greet them every day.

How can I not be furious when I hear that my own mother is being bullied?

They are all second-generation rich people who are not to be messed with. If it weren't for the wife's pressure, who knows what would happen.

The lady took great pains to coax the two young masters away, and she was so angry that she called Commander Ye.

"Commander Ye, find someone to keep an eye on these two bastards. If they dare to bring people to General Zhang's mansion to cause trouble, stop them immediately."

"If it really doesn't work, go to the Lan Mansion to find someone and let my eldest brother's son go."

The two young masters of the Duke's Mansion have been afraid of their cousin from the Lan family since they were young. If their two brothers and husband were not at home, the lady would not have to go looking for her nephew.

Oh, what's the point of giving birth to a son? I'm so worried.

The two young masters left the Duke's Mansion, but before they reached home, they were blocked on the street by Lan Jianghe, their cousin of the Lan family.

Lan Jianghe, the eldest son of Prime Minister Lan, serves in the Imperial Guard and is an outsider in the Lan Mansion.

The Lan family is a family of scholars, and Lan Jianghe is a warrior who has been running wild with the two sons of Duke Dingguo since they were young.

When three people get together, there's definitely no good news.

The two young masters brought the guards from the mansion, and Lan Jianghe brought his brothers from the imperial guards.

Later, even the brothers from the two daughters-in-law's families followed Lan Jianghe and his friends.

A group of people squatted at the door of General Zhang's mansion, shouting that they wanted to pull Zhang Chengyi out of the coffin.

The servants in General Zhang's mansion saw a group of second-class masters coming to the door.

He was so frightened that he quickly closed the door of his mansion and crawled to inform General Zhang.

When General Zhang heard this, he was so worried that he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Chengyi's funeral will be held tomorrow. At this rate, it's even a question whether Zhang Chengyi's coffin can be carried out tomorrow.

He had just been scolded by the emperor in the afternoon and did not dare to go to the palace to beg the emperor.

Finally, General Zhang sneaked out from the back door of Zhang Mansion and ran to Prime Minister Lan’s Mansion to ask for help from the Prime Minister’s wife.

"Madam Prime Minister, please save me! It's all because of my poor parenting that this incident with the wife of Duke Dingguo happened."

"Please, Madam Prime Minister, please be magnanimous and persuade those young masters for the sake of my old age sending off the young ones."

General Zhang bent his tall body, lowered his head, and cautiously pleaded with Mrs. Lan for mercy.

Perhaps it was the phrase "the old send off the young" that touched the Prime Minister's wife.

The Prime Minister's wife scolded General Zhang a few words, took the servants of the Lan Mansion, and rushed to the gate of General Zhang's Mansion in a carriage.

From then on, everyone in the capital knew that the wife of Duke Dingguo was not to be messed with.

Not only does she have the Duke of Dingguo to protect her, but she also has her son to protect her. Not only does she have her son to protect her, but she also has her mother's family to protect her, and even her in-laws to protect her.
