Chapter 203: People Surround the General's Mansion

Ye Qianning came out of her father's room at night and was awakened by the noise at the door after a light sleep. At first she didn't pay attention to it, until more and more people came and she felt something was wrong.

"Miss, the people have surrounded our general's mansion and are shouting for the old lady and the second wife to be handed over to the authorities."

"Let them shout."

"But, with so many people surrounding the mansion, it's not an option for us to stay indoors." The housekeeper was anxious.

"How about opening the door, throwing the old lady and the second wife out, and letting them fight?"

"Um...that's not what I meant..."

"Now the old lady and the second wife dare not show themselves, and my father is seriously injured and can't get up. There is no backbone in the family. I can't be a little kid like me who goes up to open the door and speak."

Isn't this just laughable?

The housekeeper also thought that what he said made sense, but he didn't know when this noise would end.

"How are things going with the old lady and the second house?" Ye Qianning asked.

"The old lady seems to have recovered, but..." The butler took a cautious look and spoke hesitantly.

"Just say it straight."

"The Second Master was severely beaten by the General and had his fingers broken. The old lady is clamoring to get a doctor for the Second Master or she won't eat. Miss, what do you think..."

Make trouble?

Ye Qianning knew that this "noise" meant a lot of unbearable curses: "Has she ever asked Daddy?"

"No... not yet." The housekeeper didn't dare to say it. The old lady cursed the general to die early last night, and her expression was chilling.

After staying in the Xiang family for so many years, the old lady was usually quite kind to the general. I didn't expect her to curse him like this now. This is not something a mother can do.

Ye Qianning looked at the housekeeper's expression and knew what had happened without having to think about it.

The vicious old woman, since she loves the second wife so much, let her carry her there.

"Where are Wang and her two children?"

"The Second Madam was beaten by Madam and a few others yesterday, but her injuries were not serious. Young Master Si Yan was not hurt, but Miss Zhenzhu was a little scared."

"Take the supplements to the kitchen and send them to Wang and the child later." Ye Qianning had not seen Wang many times. She seemed silent but was a scheming woman.

Sending some supplements was mostly because of Zhenzhu. She was only six years old, and she was not petty enough to argue with a child.

Adults should bear the consequences of their mistakes; children are innocent too.

"Yes." The butler responded and said, "What about the Second Master's injury?"

"Let the man out and don't watch him anymore. Just tell her that the mansion will not hire a doctor for the second son. If the old lady is really worried, just take her son out of the mansion for treatment." She wanted to see how much the old lady loved this son.

The housekeeper's forehead was covered with sweat when he heard this. The people outside the house were surrounding them tightly. If they left the house, they would probably be beaten to death.

"Hey, little girl, do you know there's a big commotion outside?" Old Gu came hurriedly.

"The noise is so deafening in Yuehua Cottage that it's hard not to know."

Mr. Gu slept soundly yesterday and was suddenly woken up today. He was still a little dazed. He raised his hand to pour tea, but when he stretched it out, he saw that his hands were full of gauze.

Ye Qianning took out the cup, picked up the teapot, poured the cup and placed it next to him.

Old Gu couldn't move his hands, so he put his mouth to the cup on the table and took a sip, saying, "What's going on in Kyoto City? Why are there so many people gathered here all of a sudden?"

"Who knows?"

Ye Qianning downplayed it.

No matter which wind blows, the current direction is good. It seems that someone in Kyoto City is deliberately provoking this matter, and the limelight is directly targeting the old lady and the second house.
