Upon hearing Su Cuirong's order, several bold servants exchanged glances, but still mustered their courage and rushed forward.
Jiang Luoluo showed no sign of panic. She calmly sat back down on the wooden chair, straightened her cuffs, and said in a gentle but cold tone, "Dingdang, there's no need to hold back."
"Yes, Miss!" Dingdang replied, her round face beaming with excitement.
She swept her long sword horizontally, the blade swirling up a flurry of fallen leaves as it passed, heading straight for the servants.
Although the servants of General Weiyuan's mansion had some martial arts skills, they were no match for someone like Dingdang who had practiced martial arts since childhood.
The longsword, carrying a sharp sword aura, struck, and the fallen leaves grazed the faces of several people, leaving streaks of blood.
Terrified, they hastily retreated, covering their bleeding faces with their hands, and scrambled to their knees, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy: "Young Miss, spare our lives! We know we were wrong! Please, Young Miss, have mercy!"
Su Cuirong turned pale with anger at the sight. She had thought Jiang Luoluo was just bluffing, but she never expected her to be so arrogant and domineering.
She clenched her fists angrily, as if she were holding non-existent prayer beads.
With a face full of anger, Su Cuirong pointed at the trembling maids beside her and shouted sharply, "You lot, go and tie Jiang Luoluo up!"
However, the maids were already terrified, their faces ashen. They knelt down one by one, trembling and begging for mercy: "Young Miss, spare our lives! We wouldn't dare!"
Jiang Luoluo calmly got up, walked slowly to the stone table, and pulled out a stack of indentures from her sleeve. The thin paper was slightly yellowed in the sunlight.
She coldly surveyed the kneeling crowd, her tone sharp as a knife: "Grandmother is in poor health and needs to rest. From today onwards, she will no longer concern herself with the affairs of the household."
"I have full authority over the General Weiyuan's mansion. This young lady has no need for disloyal and disrespectful servants."
She pointed her slender finger at the twelve servants kneeling on the ground, her voice calm yet unquestionable: "From this day forward, you twelve are expelled from the General's Mansion."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a furtive figure appeared, attempting to slip away from behind the large locust tree amidst the chaos.
Dingdang kicked out and struck the man hard on the knee. The man cried out in pain and fell to his knees.
Jiang Luoluo's lips curled slightly as she glanced at him and chuckled, "Including you, Physician Su, taking money from my General's Mansion but doing nothing of substance, what kind of good thing is that?"
The man panicked and scrambled to Su Cuirong's side, pleading in a pitiful voice, "Madam, save me! Madam, please save me!"
Su Cuirong glared angrily at Jiang Luoluo, then glanced at the physician kneeling on the ground, regretting that she had been so angry that she had lost her mind.
She slammed her hand on the stone table, stood up angrily, pointed at Jiang Luoluo and said coldly, "You're just a pampered young lady who never lifts a finger. How dare you call the shots in this General Weiyuan's mansion?"
Although your father is far away in Yunchuan, you shouldn't even think about acting outside of Jianggan's jurisdiction!
As Su Cuirong spoke, she felt more and more confident, as if she had grasped the last straw. Her voice became more and more righteous and stern, "You took advantage of Jiang Gan's absence to do whatever you wanted."
When your elder brother and brother return, they will definitely not let you off easily!
Her words were firm and resounding, a hint of triumph flashing in her eyes, as if she had gained the upper hand.
"Who says Luo Luo can't take over the Weiyuan General's Mansion?" A gentle, refined male voice came from afar, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Luoluo's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up from her chair, her skirt fluttering as she ran towards the person who had come, calling out, "Brother! Brother!"
She threw herself into Jiang Gan's arms and hugged him tightly, like a little kitten.
Jiang Qiankun looked down at his younger sister in his arms, a doting smile unconsciously appearing on his lips. He put away his folding fan.
He gently stroked her soft hair. "What's wrong? Did someone bully you while your brother's not home?"
Jiang Luolu pouted and stubbornly looked up, saying, "No way! Who can bully me?" Although she said that, there was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
Jiang Luoluo's eyes were slightly moist. Although Jiang Gan was often away on business, he doted on his younger sister no less than their parents.
Jiang Gan reminded Jiang Luoluo more than once that Gu Boyuan was not a good match. Men understand men best, and besides, Jiang Gan had been in business for many years and had seen all sorts of strange and monstrous people.
But Jiang Luoluo was head over heels in love at that time and wouldn't listen to reason. In the end, Jiang Gan had no choice but to give up. What could be more important than his sister's happiness?
"Jiang Gan, Jiang Gan, you're finally back!" When Su Cuirong saw Jiang Qiankun, it was as if she had seen a savior. Her spirits lifted, and even her tone became more urgent.
She pointed at Jiang Luoluo, her voice filled with indignation, and said, "Your sister is completely lawless at home! She's practically turned this Weiyuan General's Mansion upside down! You need to teach her a lesson!"
Jiang Luoluo got up from Jiang Gan's embrace. Jiang Gan gently shook his folding fan, stepped forward, and protected Jiang Luoluo behind him.
His voice was as gentle and refined as ever, but his tone carried a hint of solemnity: "Discipline, of course, must be done properly!"
Upon hearing this, Su Cuirong's eyes lit up instantly, as if a drowning person had grasped at the last straw. She nodded hurriedly, and even a hint of expectant smile appeared on her lips.
However, the next moment, Jiang Gan pointed slightly with his folding fan, his cold gaze sweeping over the servants on the ground, his tone suddenly becoming sharp: "You twelve are hereby expelled from the manor today."
"Considering Luo Luo's kind heart, I will spare you this offense of insubordination; otherwise, I would have certainly handed you over to the authorities for punishment!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Cuirong's face turned deathly pale, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, washing away all the joy that had welled up in her heart.
