Chapter 670 Hmm, let Granny Yin go.

Could it be that the Qi family, together with his two sons and daughter, rebelled and placed Shen Guannian under house arrest?

Although Shen Guannian deserved his fate, Shen Wantang hoped that the Qi family would not have a good ending.

Therefore, she still needs to go and see what's going on with Shen Guannian.

She tugged at Gu Qianhan: "My father seems to be ill. Let's go take a look. Maybe there'll be a good show to watch."

Gu Qianhan didn't linger, letting Xiao Qingyuan curse him as he walked away without looking back, following Shen Wantang.

Therefore, he didn't see that after he left, Xiao Qingyuan instantly went from being emotionally agitated to expressionless, nor did he see the strange light flashing in Xiao Qingyuan's eyes.

The Qi family's courtyard was bustling with activity.

Maids carried medicine bowls in and out, servants busied themselves wiping the blue bricks on the floor, while Granny Yin gave orders from the side.

Upon seeing Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan enter, Granny Yin immediately put on a smiling face: "Oh my, Madam was just talking about it, I didn't expect the Second Miss and her husband to be back so soon!"

"San Tu, the people have already entered the house, why didn't you come to inform Madam? You made it so that Madam couldn't go out to greet them in time!"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think our mistress was deliberately neglecting her son-in-law. How do you expect him to feel? You're so stupid, go and get your punishment!"

San Tu was so frightened that he turned pale and knelt down with a thud: "Granny Yin, I was wrong! I will be more careful in the future, I will never dare to do it again, please forgive me this time, Granny Yin!"

Seeing this scene, Shen Wantang suddenly felt that Santu's fear of Granny Yin must mean he had already been beaten.

No wonder he hasn't sent any messages to Dujuan these past two days. It turns out that the Qi family has already taken control of the house.

If Madam Qi really wanted to control Shen Guannian, she could indeed do so, because her son and daughter were on her side, and many of the servants in the Shen household listened to her, especially this Granny Yin.

A cold smile appeared on Shen Wantang's face: "Oh, Granny Yin, you have quite the airs of an official!"

"When my husband and I returned to our parents' home, you shouted and threatened to kill the three men who came to greet us. What did you mean by that? Were you deliberately trying to slap me in the face?"

"Or is it that you really want to punish me? But you don't have the guts to, so you're taking it out on San Tu?"

Granny Yin smiled broadly: "Not at all, Miss, you've misunderstood. How could I, a mere servant, dare to slap you in the face!"

"It's really that San Tu is too stupid. You and your son-in-law have returned, and he didn't even bother to come back and report it, which prevented Madam from going to the door to greet you."

"However, since the Second Miss doesn't care about her own reputation, then let it go and spare San Tu this time."

"Second Miss, Young Master, please come in. Madam is waiting inside!"

Shen Wantang was used to the barbed words of Granny Yin, so she didn't react much. Besides, she knew that Granny Yin dared to act this way because of Madam Qi, so naturally, she would deal with Madam Qi first.

However, Shen Wantang's lack of reaction does not mean that Gu Qianhan can tolerate this.

He was used to being domineering and arrogant, and no one in the Duke's Mansion, the Prince of Ning's Mansion, or even the palace dared to provoke him, let alone a servant of the Shen family!

He spoke indifferently: "Insubordination and disrespect for hierarchy! Guards, drag him away and give him fifty strokes of the cane!"

Two guards who accompanied him back to his family home today came out and dragged Granny Yin away.

Granny Yin was horrified: "Young Master, what's wrong?! What have I done wrong? Second Miss, Second Miss, save me!"

Shen Wantang did not expect Gu Qianhan to be so brutal and domineering. He immediately wanted to give Granny Yin fifty lashes. What difference was there between that and taking her life?

However, she felt quite relieved. This Granny Yin had bullied her countless times, and she had suffered countless injustices in the past. Now, Gu Qianhan stood up for her without hesitation.

She smiled and waved her hand, "Take her away. Granny Yin is strong and healthy; she won't be afraid of being caned!"

Granny Yin was so frightened that her voice changed: "Second Miss!! Madam and I have been looking forward to your return home, and we sent people to welcome you at the door early this morning. How could you treat me like this! You're not just hitting me, you're slapping Madam's face! Madam, Madam, help me! Second Miss and her husband are going to beat me to death!"

Before she could finish speaking, Madam Qi came out with her maid.

"Oh dear, what's wrong?"

Madam Qi looked anxious: "Quickly let go of Granny Yin! Quickly let go! Granny Yin is old and can't take your abuse!"

However, no one listened to her.

Granny Yin was still being held down by Gu Qianhan's guards.

Madam Qi could only look at Shen Wantang and said in a loving mother's tone, "Tang'er, what's all this fuss about when you and your husband come back? Are you upset that your father and I didn't come to greet you? You don't know, your father is too sick to get out of bed, so I have to take care of him personally. I'm so busy that I haven't been able to take care of you!"

Shen Wantang looked at her coldly: "Is that so? Madam is so busy, yet she still has to spare some time to have Granny Yin give my husband and me a hard time. It's clear she's not that busy."

"Oh dear, what nonsense are you spouting, girl? How dare Granny Yin try to intimidate you and your son-in-law? She's just straightforward and not very good at talking, so don't bother arguing with a servant like her. Quickly tell someone to let her go!"

"I only did this because I saw that Madam didn't know how to discipline her servants. Once they're disciplined, I'll naturally send them back to Madam."

Madam Qi heard everything clearly inside the room. Gu Qianhan was going to give Granny Yin fifty lashes. Is that what you call discipline? That's disciplining her to death!

She was so angry that her teeth itched, but she didn't dare to say a harsh word. Gu Qianhan was no joke when he hit people. Last time, her teeth were knocked out and her face was bruised and swollen for several days. She didn't even dare to sleep with her face covered, because the pain made her keep crying!

She could only smile ingratiatingly at Gu Qianhan: "Second Young Master is now family. I know you are of noble birth, and Granny Yin offended you, but please forgive her this time for the sake of family! Today is your homecoming, a joyous occasion, and we should prioritize harmony, don't you think?"

Gu Qianhan's voice was indifferent, revealing no emotion: "Madam has repeatedly pleaded for her, it seems she has a good relationship with this old nanny?"

Unsure of his meaning, Madam Qi smiled even more ingratiatingly: "After all, you served me for a while. People are all made of flesh and blood, and I am very soft-hearted. I can't bear to see the people around me suffer."

Gu Qianhan nodded: "Madam's noble character is admirable."

A hint of joy appeared on Madam Qi's face: "So you're letting Granny Yin go?"

"Yes, let Granny Yin go."

"Great! I knew it—"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Qianhan interrupted her: "Guards, drag her out and make her take the fifty lashes in place of Granny Yin!"

The smile on Qi's face froze instantly: "What?!"
