Aside from superficial politeness, these servants, like Hu Mingmei, no longer took Huang Wenbai and his men seriously.
There was no one else around, so the guard was even more swift in chasing him away. He said coldly, "Our Second Master's grandmother passed away long ago. Who do you think you are? A concubine, and you dare to claim to be our Second Master's grandmother? Have you no shame?"
Qian Peilan couldn't stand being ridiculed like that. She immediately rushed forward and raised her hand high to slap the guard.
The guard wasn't afraid of her at all. He easily drew his sword and looked at her coldly, saying, "Madam, I'm not a weak woman like you!"
These words were already laced with threat; if Qian Peilan dared to make a move, he would dare to kill her.
Qian Peilan was so frightened by the guard that she choked on her breath. Her servants, however, were not as hot-tempered as Qian Peilan and were still rational. They immediately stepped forward and gave Qian Peilan a way out, saying, "Madam, you are a magnanimous person. Please don't hold this gatekeeper against us. Our family values ​​benevolence and propriety. We will go back and tell the old master about how this servant treated you and ask him to get justice for you."
Qian Peilan's identity is not good, but Huang Wenbai's identity will always be Hu Mingmei's grandfather. No matter who is in charge of this family, Huang Wenbai's identity will not change. If Hu Mingmei really looks down on Huang Wenbai, then Hu Mingmei will really be labeled as unfilial and will be despised by the whole world.
The current dynasty governs the country based on filial piety. The emperor has remained silent while watching Hu Mingmei act recklessly, only out of consideration for the deceased princess. However, if Hu Mingmei really goes too far, the emperor will have something to say and opinions to express.
Qian Peilan thought about it for a moment and realized that it made sense, so she said angrily, "Let's go!" She flicked her sleeve and hit the guard.
Once Qian Peilan left, the entire courtyard returned to peace.
As for Granny Liu, she finally returned after about an hour, followed by Master Zheng, Huang Yi'an, and a woman, Madam Wang, who was Master Zheng's wife. Several servants followed behind the three of them.
Old Mrs. Liu was about to ask Master Zheng to wait a moment while she went to inform Bai Nuo, but Master Zheng, upon hearing that his sister had been beaten, was unwilling to wait and rushed in, saying, "We're all relatives. An'er is just visiting her mother; there's no need for an announcement."
Seeing that Huang Yi'an was behind Master Zheng, the people at the door did not stop them. When Granny Liu saw that the group had all gone inside, she had no choice but to follow them in as well, while sending the boiler operator to tell Bai Nuo.
"Where is my sister?" Master Zheng had entered, but looking at the enormous Hu family mansion, he didn't know where to go for a moment.
Granny Liu was about to speak when she saw Granny Wang walking towards them from afar, saying as she went, "My dear in-laws are here! Our young mistress invites you over!"
Thus, the group lost their chance to find Madam Zheng and had no choice but to follow Granny Wang.
When Master Zheng entered the hall, Bai Nuo was already sitting inside waiting for them. Upon seeing them, she smiled and said, "My dear in-laws, please have a seat!"
Master Zheng and the others no longer cared about Bai Nuo's strange way of addressing her. Madam Wang asked, "Young Madam, I would like to ask, where is my sister?"
Madam Wang was genuinely worried about Madam Zheng's safety. She only had one daughter, Zheng Qing'er, and no sons. However, Master Zheng was a wealthy and powerful man with countless women. Others didn't know, and even Madam Zheng herself hadn't told them. In fact, these women had also given birth to quite a few sons. If it weren't for the fact that she was the principal wife, Master Zheng would have divorced her long ago. But it was Madam Zheng who adopted Huang Yi'an into her family, giving her a son as well. Moreover, Huang Yi'an lived up to expectations and immediately became Master Zheng's right-hand man. As a result, Madam Wang's status in the Zheng family rose considerably, and the concubines also became more restrained.
"And Huang Haichuan, bring him out here too! He's getting too big for his britches!" Master Zheng said angrily. He only had one sister, who married into this family and was actually beaten? Did Huang Haichuan really think he was someone important?
Huang Yi'an said from behind Master Zheng, "Sister-in-law, I heard that my aunt was beaten. Is that true?"
"That's right!" Bai Nuo nodded, looking at Huang Yi'an with some surprise. Huang Yi'an was quite quick to call her aunt. "Granny, go and call Second Aunt and Second Uncle!"
"Young Madam, how badly is my sister injured? Has she seen a doctor? She was perfectly fine, so how did they end up fighting?" Madam Wang couldn't calm down until she saw Madam Zheng, and she wanted to pull Bai Nuo aside to find out what had happened.
She had never heard of Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei's character before, but seeing that Bai Nuo was still very polite to her, she decided to inquire further.
"Please forgive me, Madam!" Bai Nuo said apologetically with a smile. "I don't know why they started fighting either. When you see them later, please ask them yourself!"
Since Bai Nuo had already said that, Wang Shi couldn't ask any more questions.
Granny Wang went to invite Madam Zheng herself, but when Granny Wang came back in, her expression was very strange. Bai Nuo noticed her strange expression and peeked towards the door, "Why are you the only one here? Where is Second Aunt?"
"Young Madam, Second Madam, she..." Granny Wang hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Huang Yi'an asked, "Granny, what happened to my aunt?"
"You should see for yourself!" Granny Wang called out, stepping aside. "Come in!"
