At the same time, at the entrance to the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion, the atmosphere was tense.
Chen Moer, holding a long sword, was in a stalemate with the group of debt collectors, and both sides were unwilling to give in.
Chen was in a state of panic and didn't know how to deal with the chaotic situation.
Seeing Chen Moer appear with a sword, Chen ran behind her immediately as if she had seen a savior.
He reminded her anxiously in a low voice, "Mo'er, you're finally out. No matter what, you must not let these people break into the backyard today."
Chen Mo'er didn't respond to Chen's words. She scanned the noisy crowd in front of her, frowned, and asked in a cold voice, "Aunt, why did these people suddenly break into the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Alas, it's all because of this funeral!"
Chen sighed heavily.
"Your cousin died so suddenly that the Marquisate was completely unprepared. In order to arrange the funeral for your cousin, many outstanding payments were outstanding, and these shopkeepers came together to collect the debts."
The more Chen spoke, the more helpless she became.
Of course, she knew it in her heart.
When she first started planning the funeral, she thought Shen Ningyuan would pay for it, so she used the best of everything.
Unexpectedly, now that Shen Ningyuan has given up the business, these debts have fallen on them!
Chen Moer was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Then he raised his eyes and looked again at the group of debt collectors in front of him.
After a moment, he frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt, the Marquis's Mansion has been plotted against. Most of these people are not the real creditors!"
Chen Moer has seen countless people and has keen insight. She can see through the abnormality of the person in front of her at a glance.
Upon hearing this, Chen's eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Mo'er, what did you say? Most of these people aren't from the shop?"
Chen Moer nodded solemnly and emphasized again: "So I said, the Marquis' Mansion has been plotted against!"
Chen's face turned pale instantly, as if the sky had fallen. She wailed loudly, "Oh my God, who is this evil-hearted person who would plot against our mansion like this?"
Seeing this, Chen Moer frowned and said sternly, "Aunt, now is not the time to wail. Calm down first and listen to me. Summon all the servants in the mansion immediately and make sure to block the backyard. I'll stay here to calm these people down!"
"Mo'er, are you okay...? " Chen's voice trembled, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.
Chen Moer nodded firmly: "No matter whether it works or not, you just listen to me and do it right away!"
Chen nodded quickly and said in a panic, "Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!"
After saying that, Chen turned and hurried towards the backyard.
Seeing Chen about to leave, someone in the front row of debt collectors immediately pointed at her and shouted, "We can't let her go! She has to pay back the money first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Moer's eyes turned cold in an instant.
The long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and with a "swish", he chopped off the man's arm cleanly and neatly.
The severed arm fell to the ground with a plop, and blood spurted out from the broken arm like a fountain.
The man whose arm was chopped off let out a shrill scream, then rushed over desperately and picked up his arm, his face full of pain and fear.
The incident happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned and no one reacted for a while.
When I came to my senses, a drop of blood had already splashed on the scene, and the atmosphere was even more tense and depressing than before.
Many people looked at Chen Moer in horror, fearing that she would chop off their arms in the next second.
At this time, Chen Moer looked around coldly with a sharp gaze.
With a cold expression, he said word by word, "Now, who else wants to break in?"
Everyone was shocked by her fierce aura, and retreated with fear on their faces. No one dared to step forward to stop her.
They are just here to collect a debt, and no one wants to risk their life and property.
Seeing that some people were thinking of retreating, a few people with gloomy faces in the crowd looked at each other and nodded at the same time, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
The next moment, one of them stood up and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. She is the only woman in this mansion who dares to speak out. We must not be frightened by her. Drive her away and we can get back today's debt!"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed: "That's right, she's just a woman, what's there to be afraid of! If we drive her away, no one will dare to stop us!"
"That's right. After all, there are dozens of us, and she's alone. Are we really afraid of her?"
"Go ahead and chase her away!"
"Yes, go ahead..."
For a moment, everyone's emotions were ignited again, as if they were injected with chicken blood, and they rushed into the backyard again.
Seeing this, Chen Moer calmly instructed Ji Zehai, "Uncle, quickly go to the Jingdu prefectural governor to find Lord Song and tell him that someone is causing trouble and disrupting the Marquis's residence. Ask Lord Song to send someone to the Marquis's residence immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zehai looked at Chen Mo'er with embarrassment and stammered, "Mo'er, this...can't be reported to the police!"
"Report it if I tell you to!"
Seeing Ji Zehai's weak look, Chen Moer became angry and roared angrily.
Ji Zehai didn't expect Chen Moer to suddenly get angry. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly grabbed the servant beside him.
He ordered in a deep voice: "You, hurry to the Jingdu prefecture and find Lord Song!"
"My Lord, I'll go right away!"
The servant nodded and ran out in a hurry.
Seeing the servant go to report to the police, Ji Zehai was still full of worry.
He carefully made his way through the crowd and finally reached Chen Mo'er. He lowered his voice and reminded her softly, "Chen Mo'er, you know very well what is hidden in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion. If someone with ulterior motives finds it, the Marquis' Mansion will be in great trouble. You will also be implicated, and we will all be in trouble!"
Chen Moer nodded slightly and responded softly, "I know what my uncle is worried about, but you can rest assured that Master Song won't do anything rash."
"Really?" Ji Zehai was still a little skeptical, his tone full of uncertainty.
Chen Mo'er's tone sank, and she asked unhappily, "Why would I lie to you, uncle? What good would it do me to trick you into relaxing and calling Lord Song over? I did all this just to clean up the mess!"
Seeing that she was unhappy, Ji Zehai immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak anymore.
From his trembling appearance, it can be seen that Ji Zehai is quite afraid of Chen Moer, and is even afraid of offending her.
Chen Moer glanced at Ji Zehai out of the corner of her eye, and seeing his timid look, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The reason why the Ji family fell into decline was due to these cowardly and incompetent heads of the family.
They were timid and indecisive, lacking any sense of responsibility, which led to the gradual decline of the Ji family!
At this time, someone in the debt collection crowd looked at Shen the butcher with a frightened expression, "They've all gone to report to the authorities. Should we continue to collect this debt?"
Shen the butcher looked at Chen Moer hesitantly with an embarrassed look on his face.
His intuition told him that this harmless-looking woman in white was definitely not a good person.
He had been killing pigs for so many years that he had developed a fierce aura and was a little afraid of this woman.
