Chapter 491: Cutting Meat
Song Mo did not deliberately conceal the news of the day. The rumor that "Second Master and Duke Guo's concubine were caught by the Crown Prince, and Second Wife went to the farm to recuperate in anger" gradually spread among the servants of Duke Ying's mansion, and people in the four alleys also heard about it. So when Ji Hong brought the servants and women of Duke Ying's mansion to move Miao Ansu's boxes, the servants with a little bit of vision all tried to avoid it, and those servants who didn't have time to avoid it looked at Song Han lying on the ground, and then looked at Jin Gui who retreated behind Ji Hong with an expressionless face, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
If a servant hits his master, he will be sentenced to exile!
How could this little maid be so bold?
Everyone in the four alleys was stunned.
There was silence in the main room, as if even the air was stagnant.
Ji Hong couldn't help but lick her lips.
No wonder Madam Dou dared to treat the Duke of England as nothing, the maids around her were truly amazing!
If I want to get out of Sitori Hutong safely today, I have to rely on the two sisters Jingui and Yingui.
She showed a little more respect to Jingui and Yingui: "My two sisters, it's getting late, and you have to go back to report. I think we should quickly help the Second Madam pack up her things and send them to the farm!"
Jingui and Yingui knew in their hearts that the lady had asked them to come to intimidate these people, and as for moving things, that was not their job.
The two sisters smiled and nodded, standing guard at the door of the inner room.
Ji Hong rushed into the inner room with a few maids.
Song Han's servant finally reacted and hurried forward to help Song Han.
Song Han pushed the servant away and struggled to get up.
"Get the guards here for me!" His mouth was swollen and his chin was blue. He looked at Jingui and Yingui who were acting as if nothing had happened, and his face was very gloomy. "It takes a thousand days to train an army, but only a moment to deploy it. I don't believe that a few women and children could carry away the things under the noses of the guards!"
The servant left in response, but soon returned in panic: "Second Master, this is bad! Ji Hong has invited a dozen martial arts masters from somewhere, and now they have blocked both gates. We can't get out at all!"
Song Han was shaking with anger.
Miao Ansu, this bastard, is so bold as to confront him!
If he lets Miao Ansu step on his head today, how will he live his life in the future?
He strode out: "I want to see who dares to stop me!"
The servant followed hurriedly.
Ji Hong put things away deftly.
To put it bluntly, she was able to get in smoothly today because of a surprise attack, with the help of Mrs. Dou's people. It would be impossible to have such a good opportunity again. The most urgent thing was to take away the most valuable things. As for those half-new clothes and ordinary furnishings bought from the utensil shop, they would only be sold to Song Han.
Ji Hong politely urged the maid she had borrowed from Dou Zhao, "Please hurry up, mothers. We may not be able to leave when the Second Master comes back."
When the maids saw that Song Han had been beaten, they felt guilty and smiled and agreed. They worked even faster and soon packed up three or four boxes.
Ji Hongsheng was afraid that something might happen later, so he stuffed all of Miao Ansu's delicate things into Jingui and Yingui's arms and said, "Please help me, sisters, and bring this to our second wife."
Jingui and Yingui only obeyed Dou Zhao's orders. Since Dou Zhao asked them to help Ji Hong, they did not refuse and put the things in their arms.
Ji Hong breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly there was a loud noise outside.
She was anxious and sent a maid to find out what was going on.
The little maid ran back happily: "Sister Ji Hong, it's my uncle who came with a large group of people. He said he wanted to get the place back for the second wife!"
Very good!
With the help of my uncle, things will be more certain.
A hint of smile appeared on Ji Hong's face.
Song Han was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
Miao Anping turned black into white, and kept accusing him of having an affair with his father and being discovered by Miao Ansu. He refused to listen to his kind advice and sent Miao Ansu to the Song family's farm for recuperation, and forced him to pay 1,200 taels of silver as a shame fee.
He was really unlucky for eight generations to marry into the Miao family! Apart from silver, the Miao family didn't know what else they wanted!
Song Han gnashed his teeth and sneered, "You'll also go to jail if you slander others and frame the government!"
Miao Anping didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Second Master Song really hit the nail on the head. Let's go to Shuntian Prefecture to reason with him! I don't believe that it's reasonable for this son to sleep with my father's concubine! By the way, I heard from my sister that it seemed that Master Liao was also present that day. Master Liao hasn't left yet, has he? When the time comes, we will invite Master Liao to the government office as a witness. Others can't invite Master Liao, but your Song family is the first among the nobles, so you will definitely be able to invite Master Liao!"
Song Han was so angry that he was speechless, but he did not dare to go to Shuntian Prefecture to sue the Miao family.
He was not afraid of embarrassment. Song Mo had said that he was drunk and went to the wrong room. Even if he went to the government office, he could use this as an excuse. But if the Liao King knew that he not only messed up the job, but also didn't even have the ability to clean up his mess, how could he take him seriously?
He was able to achieve what he has today thanks to the Empress.
Song Han's eyes flashed with a cold light: "I don't have one thousand taels of silver, at most two hundred taels, if you want it, take it, if not, then we'll meet in Shuntian Mansion."
Miao Anping had already made up his mind to eat this piece of fat meat bit by bit. He was also afraid of losing everything, so he bargained: "At least 800 taels. We brothers followed me here, so we should have some tea, right?"
"Three hundred taels at most, not a penny more."
Song Han was determined, and Miao Anping persisted, and finally the deal was settled for four hundred taels of silver.
Miao Anping came out of the study and ordered the waiters from the four alleys to serve tea and snacks to the idle man who was waiting for him in the flower hall.
Song Han felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw those ruffians sitting in the flower hall he had decorated so carefully.
Ji Hong in the inner courtyard got the news. She bit her lip as she looked at the clothes piled up on half of the kang and said to the sisters Jingui and Yingui, "Let's carry our things and leave now. We may run into Uncle in the front yard and ask him for help."
Jingui and Yingui couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
Miao Anping’s dog meat could not be served at the main restaurant, but even without his help, the two sisters could still get out of the alley.
They were happy that the Miao family took the lead and followed Ji Hong out.
When they reached the Chuihua Gate, they met several old women who were in charge of the inner courtyard. They stopped them and refused to let them go, saying that they would report to Song Han.
Ji Hong burst into tears.
Miao Anping, who was sitting in the small flower hall, heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. He recognized Ji Hong at first sight.
He brought a few idle guys with him and walked over.
"What are you doing?" Miao Anping shouted at the old woman who was in charge of the inner courtyard.
Ji Hong cried out "Uncle" as if she had seen a life-saving straw: "It is inconvenient for the Second Madam to live in the farm. She asked us to go back to the mansion and carry the boxes and baskets to the farm, but the Second Master refused to agree. Please help me."
Miao Anping's eyes fell on the camphor wood boxes behind Ji Hong that were part of Miao Ansu's dowry.
Why didn't he think of this?
This woman can only rely on her own family after losing her husband's family. Miao Ansu's box and cage have been moved to the farm. Isn't it up to her to deal with it?
He rolled up his sleeves and went forward to help, cursing.
Seeing this, several guards from the Song family ran over, not wanting to be outdone.
People from Yizhitang stood by and watched the excitement.
By the time Song Han's steward came over with the money, there was already chaos in front of the Chuihua Gate with people chasing each other, fighting, cursing and jumping.
He hurried to report to Song Han.
Song Han, who had been hiding in the study pretending to be confused, had no choice but to come out and shout loudly: "What are you doing?"
The people on both sides stopped in embarrassment.
Several severely beaten women lay on the ground without a care in the world, groaning even louder. The guards from the four alleys had no choice but to jump out and mutter what had happened.
Miao Anping immediately said, "That was originally the dowry that our Miao family gave to my sister. Now my sister is so angry with you that she hides on the farm. Why don't you let us carry my sister's box away? Song Han, do you want me to tell you about all the ugly things you have done?" He pointed to his torn clothes and a bruised face beside him, "Don't say anything else, first bring me 500 taels of silver for the soup and medicine!"
I'd rather pay five thousand taels of silver to kill you!
Song Han was furious in his heart, but his expression became softer. He pointed at the person groaning on the ground and said, "What about these? Since everyone has losses, they should each bear their own consequences." As he spoke, he nodded to the manager.
The steward immediately presented four hundred taels of silver.
Miao Anping knew that Song Han was a stingy person and it would be difficult to get money from him. He also wanted to make a long-term payment, so he glared at Song Han, took the money, and escorted Ji Hong and the others out the door carrying the boxes.
He had come to cause trouble once before, and this time he brought people with him again. People from the four alleys had been waiting at the door to watch the excitement, and when they saw them come out, they stood there in groups of three or five, pointing and whispering.
Miao Anping grew up in the market and knew that rumors could kill people. He also wanted to scare Song Han, so he bowed with a smile on his face and said, "I want to take my sister back to live with me for a few days. I will be back soon. It's not that my sister was abandoned by the Song family and sent to the farm."
After hearing what he said, a woman boldly asked, "So the Second Madam has gone to the Song family's farm to recuperate. I said that I haven't seen anyone around the Second Madam go out to buy vegetables or rice for several days. What's wrong with the Second Madam? Why does she have to go to the farm to recuperate?"
Some people who like to gossip laughed and said, "If that's the case, how come the eldest uncle was so powerful and his clothes were torn?"
Miao Anping just chuckled and urged the people from Yizhitang to quickly load the boxes and cages onto the carriage.
No one from Song Han's family showed up.
Seeing that there was no more excitement, everyone gradually dispersed. Some curious people also ran to the Duke of England's mansion to find out what had happened.
Miao Anping couldn't wait to open the boxes and check before the carriage arrived at the farm.
Fortunately, fortunately!
All the slightly more expensive dowries from that year were brought out.
He couldn't help but smile, and called Ji Hong over to ask, "Why don't you see that your jewelry is delicate and soft?"
