The ladies in the audience, however, had a look of disdain on their faces. Lan Yujiao twisted her slender waist on the stage. It had to be said that her dancing was very seductive.

As soon as the dance ended, there was a round of applause from the audience. The emperor rewarded her with a jade ruyi. Lan Yujiao knelt directly on the stage and said, "Your Majesty, may I exchange my reward for another one?"

The emperor was in a good mood today, so he asked, "What do you want?"

"I fell in love with the Marquis of Anping at first sight. Please grant me marriage, Your Majesty."

There were sighs from the audience, and one of the ladies whispered, "This Third Miss Lan is so shameless! The Marquis of Anping already has a wife, and yet she still wants the Emperor to grant her a marriage."

At this time, Feng Lao Si also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I already have a wife named Xian. I only wish to be with her for the rest of my life and will never marry anyone else."

Seeing that Feng Lao Si directly refused, Lan Yujiao felt wronged: "My Lord, why do you have to do this? A man should have three wives and four concubines. Why does my Lord only keep such a country girl? Country girls are all vulgar and unbearable. After Yujiao enters the mansion, he will not treat her harshly and let her be a concubine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jiu was already in front of Lan Yujiao, and his little fists fell down with a crackling sound, making Lan Yujiao scream in pain.

The little fists rained down on Lan Yujiao, and everyone could only hear the dull thud of the fists hitting her body.

By the time everyone reacted, Lan Yujiao had already fainted. Feng Laosi then flew forward and pulled his daughter away.

Feng Laosi looked at Lan Yujiao, who was beaten into a pig's head by his daughter, with disgust, and kicked her hard on the leg.

Lan Yujiao was awakened by the pain. Her foot was broken by Feng Laosi's kick. She looked at Feng Laosi with tears in her eyes: "My Lord, you have to make the decision for me. Look, the daughters handed over by rude people are so vulgar."

Everyone: "This Miss Lan San must be a fool!"

Feng Lao Si chuckled: "Vulgar, you are probably the most vulgar person in this hall, right? You are ugly, but you want to be beautiful. How can you compare with my wife? How dare a lowly thing compare with her? Shameless thing, don't pollute my wife's eyes."

Fengjiu was also angry, saying it was shameless and ugly.

Old Lady Feng also stood up: "My daughter-in-law is well-educated and filial to her parents-in-law. Who do you think you are? You even call us vulgar and shameless. You are not even worthy of carrying my daughter-in-law's shoes."

Everyone could hardly hold back their laughter, and the emperor was also very angry. He immediately ordered that Lan Yujiao be given to the night-seller on the street as a concubine.

The emperor also felt relieved for Zhao. Zhao just sat there with a smile on her face, not saying a word, and holding her third sister-in-law's hand.

Xiao Wang was so angry that if Zhao hadn't held her back, she would have gone up and hit someone.

Lan Yujiao was dumbfounded and shouted, "Your Majesty, please don't do that. I don't want to marry someone who loves night fragrance. My aunt won't agree to that either. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

No one pleaded for her, everyone was gloating. Lan Yujiao relied on her aunt being a noble concubine to bully others, and many young ladies were ridiculed by her.

The emperor issued an edict that Lan Yanfei was a poor parent and his granddaughter had disobeyed Princess Shengzun, so he was demoted to a commoner and his descendants for three generations were not allowed to hold official positions.

Concubine Lan was also demoted to a concubine: "At this time, Concubine Lan, who was pretending to be sick in the palace, didn't know that she was harmed by her stupid niece again."

The emperor had long been dissatisfied with Lan Yanfei and took the opportunity to get rid of him.

Feng Lao Si carried the still angry Feng Jiu to Zhao's side. Zhao saw that her daughter was still angry and said, "Don't be angry, my daughter. Look, your mother is not angry at all."

Fengjiu hugged her mother's neck and said, "I'm going to beat her up. She dared to say anything bad about my mother."

After this incident, everyone knew that Zhao should not be provoked, and both her husband and daughter were protective of her.

Zhao also became the object of envy of the ladies in Beijing. Her husband was tall and handsome, and she had a beautiful daughter. She was definitely a winner in life.

After the banquet, several people drove back to the mansion rewarded by the emperor. The servants rewarded by the emperor had been waiting for their master to return to the Anping Marquis Mansion.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate, the gate slowly opened. The servants knelt in two rows and shouted in unison: "Welcome the masters back to the mansion."

Feng Lao Si was stunned and forgot that the emperor had rewarded them with a hundred slaves.

Only after the steward of the Prince's Mansion, who was waiting at the Anping Marquis' Mansion, introduced him did he react.

The prince also came to the Anping Marquis's Mansion afterwards. Several people sat down in the front hall. The servants served tea and snacks in an orderly manner and then retreated outside the door.

The prince took a box from his attendant, which contained the deeds to the current Anping Marquis Mansion and the deeds to five shops in the capital.

The Crown Prince was handed over to Feng Lao Si, who was puzzled: "Your Highness, what is this?"

The Crown Prince said, "This is the title deed to the Anping Marquis's mansion, as well as the five shops I'm giving to the Anping Marquis. They're all in the best locations in the capital, so it'll be convenient for the Marquis to do any business he wants."

Feng Lao Si thought about it and accepted it. The prince did not disturb them any more and said goodbye and left the Anping Marquis Mansion. After seeing the prince off, everyone returned to the front hall.

A man in his forties walked in and knelt down to greet him. "My Lord, I am the temporary steward of this mansion. My name is Wang Ren."

Feng Lao Si took a few glances at Wang Ren, who was kneeling on the ground. He walked straight, had a firm gaze, and spoke with reason and logic. The other servants were also well-behaved. It seemed that this man was quite capable.

Feng Lao Si: "Butler Wang, please get up. There's no need to be so polite when you're at home."

Wang Ren saluted and stood up: "For the time being, I am in charge of the mansion. When the Marquis has chosen someone, I will give way."

Feng Lao Si smiled and said, "You will be the housekeeper. Since everyone in the mansion is well managed, call everyone to the front hall."

Wang Ren bowed and left. After a cup of tea, all the servants rewarded by the emperor had arrived in the front hall.

Everyone knelt in five rows in an orderly manner, greeted their masters, and Feng Lao Si asked them to stand up.

Feng Lao Si: "Since you are the emperor's reward to my mansion, then you will be my mansion's people from now on. As long as you are loyal in the future, our mansion will not treat you unfairly."

Everyone also said in unison: "Master, please rest assured that these servants will be loyal to you forever."

Feng Lao Si: "From now on, my wife will be the head of this mansion. If there are any problems in the future, just report them directly to my wife. If there are any slaves who bully their masters, I will not forgive them lightly."

Feng Lao Si introduced everyone present one by one, and the servants also greeted their masters one by one.

After a beating and giving everyone five taels of silver as a reward, he let them leave.

Butler Wang took everyone to visit the mansion. The entire mansion covers an area of ​​50 acres. This house was the mansion of a prince of the previous dynasty.

There are five courtyards in total, with ten back houses in the front yard and a three-story front yard.

The backyard is composed of 24 courtyards of different sizes, all connected by corridors. Each courtyard has its own garden, and at the back is the largest garden.
