Chapter 27 Are you planning to sideline me?

"If I attract attention too early, someone will want to check my family background. It will also be easy for Madam Wei to do something that will hinder my imperial examination." Shen Shilang said, "So I have been planning to wait until this provincial examination to test my true strength."

"After I make a name for myself in the provincial examination, no one will be able to cause me trouble easily." Shen Shilang said, "Because by then, I will be a prominent figure in Chong'an, and the prefect will have to protect me first."

Wei Zhaoxian remained silent.

It turned out that Shen Shilang had been thinking about so many things silently.

But if Mrs. Wei didn't make things difficult for him, he wouldn't have to think so much.

Wei Zhaoxian did not test Shen Shilang's knowledge either.

Since Shen Shilang is confident that he can stand out in the provincial examination, he must be extraordinary.

Wei Zhaoxian felt both guilty and relieved.

Finally, Shen Shilang lived up to the name of the Shen family.

"I still have some things to deal with. You can stay in the mansion and prepare for the exam." Wei Zhaoxian said, "Don't worry, no one in the mansion will dare to trouble you anymore."

"I heard from Jianlang that you don't like having servants in your courtyard. But your daily life cannot be done without someone to serve you." Wei Zhaoxian said, "Well, I will arrange two people to serve you after serving you three meals a day, and then let them leave, so that they don't stay in your courtyard for too long."

Shen Shilang did not refuse and thanked Wei Zhaoxian.

Wei Zhaoxian shook his head, "Shilang, don't say anything that makes me ashamed again."

Wei Zhaoxian left Shen Shilang's courtyard and came to Madam Wei's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Mama Liu crying, "Madam! Madam, save me! I can't go back! If I go back, I'll be finished! Madam, please save me!"

She was sent back by the Wei family, and Mrs. Wei's family knew without asking that she must have made a mistake.

What good could she possibly have gotten?

But she was clearly following Madam Wei's orders! "Madam, I have been taking care of you since you were little, please don't abandon me!" Madam Liu was pulled by two maids.

I just don’t know if it’s because the maids are not as strong as Mama Liu, or if they don’t dare to really drag Mama Liu out.

It turned out that neither of them could hold back Mother Liu, and they had to walk several steps towards Madam Wei's main house.

Mrs. Wei just came back from Wei Jianming.

I had no time to rest in the room. As soon as I sat down, I heard Mother Liu crying outside.

Mrs. Wei hurried out and saw Mother Liu being grabbed by someone, her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered with tears.

The maid was still carrying Mother Liu's bag.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Wei asked in surprise, and hurried forward to hug Mother Liu.

"Madam! The general wants to send me back to the Xu Mansion!" Madam Liu hugged Madam Wei tightly as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw, "How can I leave with peace of mind! I can't leave you here alone. I won't leave! Madam, I can't bear to leave you!"

Mrs. Wei has never left Mother Liu since she was a child, so how could she be willing to do so?

She pushed away the maid who was holding Mama Liu, "Mama Liu, you can't leave! What will I do if you leave?"

The master and servant hugged their heads and cried.

Wei Zhaoxian strode into the courtyard with a gloomy face, and said to the servant who was watching and not daring to move, "What are you all standing there for? Separate Madam Liu from the Madam, and send Madam Liu out!"

"If you can't even stop Mama Liu, then you don't need to stay in the mansion!"

The servants were startled, and after hearing Wei Zhaoxian's instructions, they hurried forward to pull it.

Madam Wei protected him desperately, which made the servant feel a little embarrassed.

"Pull Madam away!" Wei Zhaoxian said coldly, "Madam, please don't make a fool of yourself in front of the servants!"

"General!" Mrs. Wei rushed to Wei Zhaoxian, grabbed his arm and asked, "Why did you send Mama Liu back?"

"Because when she knew clearly that you were doing something wrong, she did not try to dissuade you, but instead followed you in acting foolishly. Why keep an old slave like this who can't do anything good?" Wei Zhaoxian said in a cold voice.

Mrs. Wei knew that it was not only that, but also because Mother Liu was not kind to Shen Shilang.

The servants in the mansion all act according to his wishes.

Since I was not nice to Shen Shilang, my servants would naturally not be polite to me either.

"When we got married, my father-in-law and mother-in-law told me that you were spoiled since childhood, so you are sometimes willful. Mother Liu has taken care of you since you were young, and she can persuade you." Wei Zhaoxian took a deep breath, "They also said that if one day Mother Liu can't persuade you, or doesn't want to persuade you and lets you do what you want, then send Mother Liu back, and they will send someone who can persuade you."

"Madam, don't worry. I won't leave you alone." Wei Zhaoxian said in a deep voice, "Send Madam Liu back and replace her with Madam Zhang or Madam Li."

When Madam Liu heard this, she immediately guessed what would happen to her if she returned, and she shouted in panic: "Madam! Madam, save me! Madam, don't send this old slave back!"

Wei Zhaoxian simply pointed at the servant and said, "Cover her mouth and send her to the carriage."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Mrs. Wei felt a chill in her heart. She even prepared the carriage so early.

A piece of cloth was stuffed into Mother Liu's mouth and she was carried out whimpering.

Wei Zhaoxian walked into the house without even looking at Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei paused, sniffed, and could only follow in with the help of Jinxiu.

Wei Zhaoxian threw his robe aside and sat on the stool. His imposing and majestic appearance made everyone afraid to speak.

"Go and call all the servants in the mansion." Wei Zhaoxian ordered.

After the servants went to call for help, Madam Wei asked, "What do you want to do, General?"

Wei Zhaoxian ignored her.

Before long, Mrs. Wei's courtyard was filled with servants from the mansion.

Wei Zhaoxian then stood up and walked out the door, his eyes coldly sweeping over everyone in the courtyard, "Is everyone here?"

"General, everyone is here." Manager Yue, who had come to temporarily replace Butler Zhou, bowed and appeared behind Wei Zhaoxian. "I'll have people carry over those who were beaten with sticks."

Shopkeeper Yue was the most capable shopkeeper in Wei Zhaoxian's shop. He also handled many matters concerning military supplies for Wei Zhaoxian and was extremely capable.

Wei Zhaoxian had already decided to remove Butler Zhou on his way back, so he sent someone to notify Manager Yue.

Only Manager Yue could quickly take over the Wei Mansion in such a short time, which made Wei Zhaoxian feel at ease.

"You should have seen that Butler Zhou has been sent out of the mansion. Butler Qian is currently taking over temporarily. When the new butler comes, he will officially take over Butler Zhou's position." Wei Zhaoxian said, "Mother Liu has also been sent back to the Xu Mansion."

"Everyone who participated in the fight last night has been beaten with a stick." Wei Zhaoxian said, "You should know what to do next time. If you dare to neglect Master Shen again, you will be sold out!"

The last sentence made everyone in the yard tremble with fear.

After sending the servants away and returning to the house, Madam Wei said in dissatisfaction, "General, if you do this, how can I establish my authority in the mansion in the future? Are you...are you planning to sideline me?"
