Jinyang Marquis Mansion.
The guard at the gate uttered a cry of surprise.
With his eyes wide open, he looked at the stain on the door in disbelief, then angrily looked at the group of people standing in front of the door.
"Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant and cause chaos at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion!"
"Then let the Jingzhao Yin's officers arrest all of you!"
"Who dares?" The man in the white coat who threw the cake towards the gate of the Marquis' Mansion said with his hands on his hips and a dark face, "We are from Duke Liu's Mansion. Who dares to arrest us?"
Next to the man in the white coat, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward took two steps forward and said sternly, "You, the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion, were the first to bully us. Our young master ate the food in your shop and has been in a coma ever since. If anything happens to my young master, let alone smashing your door, even if I smash your entire mansion to pieces, it will not be enough to pay for my young master's life."
"You must give an explanation for this matter!"
As the man in the white coat and the steward finished speaking, the dozen or so strong men they brought with them also stepped forward and shouted in unison, "You must give an explanation!"
The guards of the Marquis' Mansion, who were full of anger and threatened to arrest people just now, immediately stopped their rage under the intimidating shouts and said, "Everyone wait a moment, I will go in and report."
He ran into the mansion as if escaping.
Not long after, Qin's head nanny, Nanny Jiang, came out of the mansion with a dozen servants.
She politely gestured to the people outside, "The Marquis is not in the mansion. Our Marquis's wife heard about the experience of the young master of the Duke's Mansion and expressed her deep sympathy. However, is there any misunderstanding in this matter... The Marquis's wife is not convenient to leave the mansion, please come in and talk?"
"What a misunderstanding!" the man in the white coat cursed angrily. He raised his hand, grabbed a handful of cake that already had a sour smell, and threw it at Madam Jiang's face.
This man was a martial arts master invited by Duke Liu specifically for his precious son in his old age.
How could an old lady compare to her in terms of skills?
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Momo's face was covered with white.
The next moment, she suddenly bent down and vomited.
The man in the white coat laughed coldly, "You also think it's disgusting? Our young master has the problem because he ate this crap of yours!"
"Hurry up and call your master out. The Marquis of Jinyang's Mansion must give an explanation for this matter today."
"Otherwise, our Duke will report this matter to His Majesty! No one's pleas will be of any use then, and I will shave your Jinyang Marquisate to the bone!"
"Don't, don't... vomit." Nanny Jiang retched several times in succession, and patted her chest before she caught her breath. Seeing the man in the white coat and the steward of the Duke's Mansion turning around and trying to leave, she hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, everyone. I will go and invite the Duke's wife."
This matter is no longer something the servants can handle.
We need to ask the master to come forward.
The martial arts masters and servants in Duke Liu's mansion were all tall and strong, with even louder voices.
The noise outside could be heard all the way to the Qifeng Courtyard in the backyard.
Xue Linglong, who was forced to stay in the courtyard to take care of her pregnancy, sat up with her hands on her belly, listened carefully to the noise outside, and asked the maid in confusion, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
It sounds like a riot.
But this is Xuanwu Street, where all the people living here are prominent people. Who dares to cause trouble here?
Xue Linglong, who had not left the courtyard for a long time, could not help but feel curious. There was a rare sparkle in her eyes, as if she wanted to hear a good show. She grabbed the sleeve of the maid and said, "Go and find out what's going on outside."
The maidservant she captured was not the one she brought as a dowry to the Marquis's mansion, but was sent by the Marquis's wife Qin after she was "forced to nurture her pregnancy."
They say it's to have more people to take care of her, but in fact it's just to monitor her.
However, these maids are not restricted and can leave Qifengyuan at will and move around the mansion.
It just so happened that I could go out and find out what was going on, and then come back to tell her about it.
The noisy sounds outside could not be clearly heard in the room. Xue Linglong leaned on the bed, and she was rarely less aggressive than before. She sipped the pregnancy-maintaining tea, and thought to herself with a smile that this was just her way of listening to "gossip" in modern times.
I just wonder if today's gossip came from the Pingchang Marquis Mansion next door, or the Sun Mansion, or from their own Jinyang Marquis Mansion?
She had had a big dream and knew that her father-in-law, who seemed to love his first wife, actually had a mistress in private. In the dream, the mistress even came to her house pregnant.
However, in the dream, she had a good relationship with her mother-in-law Qin. With her cooperation, she quietly dealt with the mistress without letting her father-in-law find out anything.
Now that she is gone, let's see what Qin can do alone!
I'm afraid that her usually arrogant mother-in-law will suffer a great loss in front of that "little white flower" mistress.
But what does that have to do with her? All I can say is that you deserve it.
I wonder if Qin would regret imprisoning herself in Qifengyuan to take care of her pregnancy if she dreams of the scene in her dream in the future.
Seeing Cuiping, who had just gone out to inquire about the news, walked in with a grim look on her face and seemed hesitant to say something, Xue Linglong's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly, and she couldn't suppress it even if she tried to suppress it.
"Cui Ping, tell me quickly, what happened outside?"
"Could it be that someone dares to come to our mansion to cause trouble?"
"Madam Crown Prince..." Cuiping nodded with a grim expression.
The more she acted like this, the more Xue Linglong felt that she was right.
It's probably the marquis's mistress who's pregnant and has come to visit.
Although it happened a few months earlier than in the dream, but if you calculate the time, this is almost the exact time when the other party became pregnant. Because of some discrepancies between reality and dreams, it is not impossible for it to happen earlier.
Just as Xue Linglong was thinking happily, Cui Ping said, "Madam, something terrible has happened. The cakes sold by your cake shop have made the young master of the Liu family sick. He has been vomiting and having diarrhea and has been unconscious in bed. He has not woken up yet. The people from the Liu family are now blocking the door of our house, demanding an explanation from us..."
"What?" Xue Linglong's snicker froze.
I couldn't laugh for a moment.
"how so?"
"I specifically reminded you to use fresh ingredients every day."
Because of what happened to Chen Feng last time, her snack shops were extra careful, fearing that someone would get sick from eating too much again. She has reminded the shop owners to use fresh ingredients every day and to remind customers when selling foods and drinks with added goat's milk that they must pay attention to the dosage if the food is being consumed for the first time.
It’s not that she is conscientious in doing business, but she is afraid that someone will come to her due to lactose intolerance and diarrhea.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any more mistakes, especially such a big one!
Seeing Xue Linglong's incredulous look, Cui Ping's mouth drooped and she said with a wry smile, "After Madam Hou took over, she felt that the cake shop was wasting too much money, so she ordered that the unsold cake bases and cream be kept for three more days..."
