Chapter 653 Granny Gui
After Shui Su finished speaking, she looked at A Qi in a flattering manner.
Aqi glanced at her sideways and called out towards the door, "Someone come here."
Two maids responded and entered the room.
"Tie up Zisu and throw her into the woodshed. After I report to the madam, I will sell her off."
Two maids came forward upon hearing the sound.
Zisu taught that the two maids were older and were struggling fiercely, so she couldn't stop her for a while.
Seeing this, Shui Su rolled up her sleeves and rushed over to help.
With Shui Su's help, the three of them quickly tied Zi Su's hands and feet tightly.
"Aqi, you can't do this to me! I... I'm Granny Gui's goddaughter!"
Zisu continued to resist, "Granny Gui is my godmother! She won't allow you to treat me like this!"
“My godmother comes from the palace; she was the head maid personally invited back by the Marquis!”
"You've treated me like this, my godmother will never forgive you!"
"You wait, my godmother will... mmm... mmm..."
Zisu's mouth was blocked by the clever Shuisu.
The two maids looked at Aqi with some worry, "Sister Aqi, will everything be alright?"
They were all somewhat afraid of Granny Gui.
Granny Gui came from the palace and was very strict with rules. Many people in the mansion suffered because of her.
In addition, since she was invited back by the Marquis of Enping, Aqi has always avoided her sharp edge.
Of course, Ah Qi avoided her not because he was afraid of her.
Rather, it was because he didn't want to put Su Rongrong in a difficult position.
But now, Granny Gui is clearly courting death.
If she doesn't take advantage of her misfortune and get rid of her, then she'll have wasted her time as the head maid!
"What are you afraid of? I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
As soon as Aqi finished speaking, a hoarse and sharp voice came from the doorway.
"What a boastful girl!"
Everyone turned around and saw a thin, long-faced, mean-looking old woman walk in.
If this person is not Granny Gui, then who is she?
Two rough-looking old women followed behind her. It was clear they were up to no good.
"Granny Gui, what brings you here?" Aqi greeted her, and the others followed suit, calling out "Granny Gui."
Aqi glanced around and saw a little maid peeking in from the doorway.
It's obvious without even asking that it must have been this little maid who ran off to tip off someone.
She recognized the maid; she also served in the madam's courtyard and liked to follow Zisu around.
"Ha, I didn't know that Miss Aqi was so capable if I hadn't come. She even dared to tie people up and sell them off without permission."
Granny Gui sneered and winked at the two old women behind her.
The two old women understood and quickly stepped forward to untie Zisu's rope.
Shui Su and her two maids wanted to stop her but didn't dare, looking helplessly at A Qi.
Aqi shook his head, and the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood aside.
The two old women quickly untied the ropes binding Zisu's hands and feet.
Zisu regained her freedom of movement, pulled the gag out of her mouth, exhaled sharply, and then rushed to Granny Gui's feet, hugging her legs and crying, "Godmother, you must stand up for your daughter!"
Granny Gui shook her leg. "What kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing? Go stand to the side."
Zisu dared not disobey, wiped away her tears, stood up and stood behind Granny Gui.
She looked at Aqi and the others provocatively, with a smug expression.
Neither of the two maids dared to meet Zisu's gaze. Shuisu, however, raised her chin at Zisu, revealing a disdainful expression.
Ignoring Zisu's provocation, Aqi calmly looked at Granny Gui and said, "Granny Gui, aren't you overstepping your bounds?"
"She really is an unruly brat. No wonder the Marquis asked me to come back to assist the Madam in managing the servants in the mansion."
Granny Gui sneered, looking coldly at Aqi, "Why did you tie up Zisu today, and even threatened to sell her off?"
"Hmph, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a maid from the Qiao family in Nancheng!"
"If you don't give me a proper explanation today, I will have to inform the Marquis and ask him to expel you from the manor."
Aqi scoffed and said coldly, "Perfect. Even if the old woman didn't inform the Marquis, I would still have to report it to him."
"Shuisu, go and report to the Marquis in the outer courtyard immediately. Tell him that your servant and Granny Gui have something to ask him to decide."
Shui Su accepted the order and was about to run outside.
"Stop her! Stop her right now!"
Granny Gui was surprised that Aqi was not intimidated by her, but instead, she was even more decisive than her in ordering someone to invite the Marquis. She immediately tried to have someone stop Shuisu.
Unfortunately, Shui Su was like an eel; before the two old women could even block the door, she had already slipped away.
Granny Gui's face darkened, and she glared at Aqi with a stern expression. "This is just a small matter, why make a fuss about it in front of the Marquis?"
"I was personally invited back by the Marquis. Are you really not afraid at all that you've brought this matter to the Marquis's doorstep?"
Aqi smiled and said sarcastically, "Whether Granny is afraid or not, I don't know. But I'm not afraid."
"Didn't the old woman just say that I come from the Qiao family in the south of the city? Even if the Marquis is angry with me and wants to kick me out of the manor, I can simply go back to the Qiao family."
"I just don't know where the old woman can go after leaving the Marquis of Enping's residence."
"You brat! When I was serving in the palace, you were still nowhere to be found! How dare you challenge me! Today I'll teach you a lesson about how many eyes Prince Ma has."
Granny Gui was furious and ordered the two old women, "Go and give her a few slaps, let her know whether her word or mine, Granny Gui's word, carries more weight in this mansion."
Both old women were robust and strong, unlike the two thin, still-growing maids behind Aqi.
The two maids wanted to protect Aqi, but when they saw the warning look in Granny Gui's eyes and saw the physiques of the two old women, they couldn't help but feel afraid.
The two tugged at Aqi's sleeve and asked timidly, "Sister Aqi, what should we do?"
Aqi patted the two women's hands, stepped forward, and stared sharply at the two old women without any fear.
She scoffed dismissively, "I advise you to think carefully before you act. The Marquis will be here soon."
"Who is right and who is wrong, who will go and who will stay, will soon be clear. What's the rush?"
Upon hearing this, the two old women indeed hesitated.
Seeing that the two old women dared not make a move, Granny Gui's eyes darkened, and she turned to Zisu and said, "Go."
Zisu hesitated for a moment, but seeing Granny Gui's cold gaze, she gritted her teeth, took a few steps to Aqi, and raised her hand to slap Aqi.
However, as soon as she raised her hand, it was grabbed by Aqi.
The two maids behind Aqi also noticed this, and the two rough old women opposite them dared not lay a hand on Aqi.
They immediately grabbed Zisu's arms tightly from both sides, rendering her unable to move.
With the help of the two, Aqi raised his hand and slapped Zisu several times in succession. Then, shaking his sore hand, he sneered disdainfully, "Even if the Marquis wants to kick me out of the manor, I will still slap him enough first."
After saying that, he switched hands and gave Zisu a few more crisp slaps.
