Her ex-sister-in-law rushed up to the old woman, squatted down, and exclaimed, "My God, how could someone be beaten like this? Old woman, are you alright?"
Xiao Yunying scoffed, "Stop pretending. You think you're alright after I beat you like this? Do you want me to slap you a few times to show you?"
As the saying goes, the servants' intentions are the master's intentions. No one who serves their master closely is truly stupid or reckless.
Whether the old woman was trying to annoy her or deliberately provoking her, she absolutely wouldn't believe it without this woman's authorization.
The old woman was about to file a complaint and twist the truth, since there was no one else around except them, so she could make up whatever she wanted.
Just as he opened his mouth, he heard a chilling male voice coming from the direction of the door.
"What happened?"
Madam Luo walked up to Xiao Yunying and looked her over carefully. She was relieved to see that she was not injured. "What happened? Why did you start fighting all of a sudden?"
Xiao Yunying snorted coldly: "I don't know whose orders this old woman had, but she came to me and talked nonsense. I warned her twice, but she still wouldn't stop. So don't blame me for shutting her up."
Luo Sheng's gaze grew colder. He believed he understood his wife's personality well enough. She wouldn't have been so furious and physically assaulted someone unless her bottom line had been crossed.
What did she say?
Xiao Yunying frowned and remained silent. Luo Sheng surveyed everything in the courtyard and first saw Zheng Yunwan quietly take the axe behind her back with red eyes, which gave him some clues.
He finally fixed his gaze on Luo Chen, who was standing at the back. The boy's expression was completely different from Luo Chen and Luo Li's, which showed confusion and amusement.
"Luo Chen, what did she say?"
Luo Chen was taken aback when he was called out, and stammered, "She...she said..."
"Don't tell!"
Xiao Yunying turned around and scolded her, then looked at the old woman who was still sitting on the ground: "Get out of my house. If I hear you spout any more nonsense, I will cut out your tongue."
Her former sister-in-law glanced at Madam Luo before mustering the courage to speak: "At least she..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yunying glared at her the moment she spoke. "You get out too, you're not welcome in my house!"
"you……!"
The other person's face turned red and white with anger, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
The sound of wheels rolling could be heard not far away. Everyone looked over and saw Wei Xun slowly driving an oxcart towards them.
He sensed something was wrong, jumped off the carriage, and quickly walked over: "Master."
Luo Sheng said, "Didn't you hear? Yun Ying said you're not welcome. Hurry up and pack your things and leave my house."
The woman hadn't expected him to actually kick her out. She stood up and said, "Luo Sheng, I'm still your sister-in-law. If your brother were still alive, how could this happen..."
"Shut up! Don't you dare mention my older brother!"
Luo Sheng's aura instantly turned cold, and everyone could feel the killing intent emanating from him. The other party was so frightened that he fell silent and stood there, not daring to say anything more.
"Since you don't want to clean up, Granny Chang, you take Mengchun and Mengxia to help her clean up. Be careful and don't forget anything."
Granny Chang bowed and agreed, then readily led Meng Chun and Meng Xia to their room, quickly packing all their belongings into a trunk and carrying it out together.
The whole process took less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, which is extremely efficient.
After Chang Mama came out, she bowed to the woman and said, "Everything has been packed. If you are worried, Madam, you can go back to the room and check it again. If there are no problems, please get in the carriage."
"You've gone too far!"
It's one thing to kick her out, but to make her ride in an oxcart?!
As the family member of a fourth-rank official, how could I ride in such a shabby oxcart!
Luo Yongcai wouldn't indulge her: "If you don't want to ride in an oxcart, you can walk back to the city."
Xiao Yunying then realized that Luo Sheng had already decided to let them leave, and that he had gone out earlier to find an oxcart to take them away. Her anger subsided a little.
She looked at Madam Luo pleadingly, about to call out "Mother," but then remembered Madam Luo's warning to her earlier in the room, and quickly changed her words: "Madam Luo, you just let him humiliate me like this in front of the children!"
Luo Chen stepped forward: "You were the one who first allowed the servants to bully my mother and Aunt Yunwan. I don't believe she would dare to speak nonsense in front of my mother without your permission. You can leave now. Don't come to our house again. You are not welcome here, and neither are we."
Although Luo Yang and Luo Li did not speak, they silently walked behind Luo Chen, which was enough to show their attitude.
“You…you are my sons, how can you speak to your mother like that?”
Luo Chen glared at her and said, "Besides giving birth to me, have you ever taken on the responsibility of being a mother? Have you ever cared about us? Besides asking us to help you fight for power and profit, have you forgotten about us?"
"Do you dare say you came here this time because you really missed us? Do you dare swear that you didn't come all this way because you saw my family's exoneration and your father's growing power in court, and thought there was something to gain?"
That old woman was quite loyal; even with her face swollen from being slapped, she still didn't forget to speak up for her mistress, crawling over to Luo Chen's side to try and defend her lady.
The moment she opened her mouth, Luo Sheng swiftly snatched Wei Xun's longsword, holding it in his hand along with its scabbard, and forcefully slapped the old woman across the mouth.
The old woman was knocked to the ground by the blow, clutching her mouth and crying out in pain for a long time. When she lowered her hand, she saw several bloody teeth in her palm.
