Zou fed him another mouthful of food.
Yu Xiaoyuan pushed it away directly: "I'm not eating anymore. I'm telling you, don't worry about Jinshu's marriage. I have my own arrangements."
Zou said, "But I've already told that family, I'm just waiting..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoyuan was so angry that he stood up and kicked directly towards Zou, without even being able to see, and kicked directly at Zou's forehead.
Zou screamed "Ouch!" and the blue and white porcelain bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"My Lord, why did you kick me?"
Yu Xiaoyuan scolded, "You deserve it. Putting aside Jinshu's marriage, just look at the silver you've withheld from Baozhu and her daughter every month for the past eighteen years. And for the past ten or so years, you've taken Yun'er with you to bully them."
Zou was furious when she heard this and yelled, "Yes, I bullied Wen Baozhu and her mother together with Yun'er, but you knew it a long time ago. You didn't care about it, so I just thought you looked down on them and let us bully them. Now that Wen Baozhu is no longer crazy and has regained her beauty, you regret it and put all the blame on Yun'er and me."
Yu Xiaoyuan was immediately speechless and unable to refute.
But no matter what, he is the Marquis, and even if he is wrong, the blame is not his, but Zou's.
He pointed at Zou and said, "You have until today to return the five thousand taels of silver that Baozhu and her mother withheld. You must also return Baozhu's dowry."
"What? You want me to pay back five thousand taels of silver and the dowry?"
"Of course, if you don't pay me back, I'll divorce you."
After hearing this, Zou collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, a maid came in to report: "My Lord, Madam, Eunuch Xu from the palace has arrived and told the masters of the Marquisate to go to the front hall to receive the emperor's order."
Yu Xiaoyuan raised his hand and told the maid, "Come and help me."
Zou got up and tried to help, but was pushed away by Yu Xiaoyuan.
Yu Xiaoyuan took a few steps forward and then said to Zou behind him, "Let's go to the front hall."
Zou followed closely behind and went to the front hall together.
In the front hall, Eunuch Xu saw Yu Xiaoyuan blindfolded and asked curiously, "Lord Yu, what happened to your eyes?"
Yu Xiaoyuan first bowed to Eunuch Xu and said, "I accidentally got dust in my eyes yesterday and hurt them."
He couldn't say that it was Wen who sprayed spicy water at him, that would be too embarrassing.
Eunuch Xu said seriously, "We are here today to obey His Majesty's order. The palace selection must still be held. The second daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, Yu Yunli, will go to the Tiyuan Palace to participate in the selection tomorrow."
Zou was stunned when she heard this: "The talent show is still going to be held?"
Yu Xiaoyuan was annoyed that Zou was talking too much in front of Eunuch Xu, so he glared at her.
Zou didn't dare to say anything more.
Eunuch Xu continued, "Your Majesty has a serious leg injury. I'm afraid it won't heal. Tomorrow, the Marquis of the Selection will have to tell the Second Miss to be careful when she meets His Majesty and not to bump into him. His Majesty is in a bad mood, so his temper is naturally a bit short. If you provoke His Majesty, you might be beaten to death."
Zou became anxious upon hearing this. Not only was His Majesty impotent, he also had a leg disease. Judging from the tone of Eunuch Xu, he might be disabled!
Moreover, His Majesty has a bad temper and there is a risk of being beaten to death.
Yu Xiaoyuan took out one hundred taels of gold and handed it to Eunuch Xu.
Eunuch Xu accepted it with a smile and left with the two young eunuchs.
Zou was dumbfounded. She turned to the maid beside her and asked, "Where is Yun'er?"
The maidservant said, "To answer Madam, the Second Young Lady has just left with over twenty guards from the mansion, saying she wants to avenge the slap she received yesterday."
Hearing this, Zou slapped her thigh anxiously and said, "That's terrible! Quick, prepare the carriage. I want to go and get her back."
Yu Xiaoyuan was furious after hearing this. "How foolish! She ran away and embarrassed herself again."
A small house next to the general's mansion.
Originally, General Pei had arranged for soldiers to guard the door, but Yu Jinshu specifically asked two soldiers to return to the general's mansion.
As expected, Yu Yunli, unwilling to be slapped, came with more than 20 guards.
Yu Jinshu didn't let the big yellow dog out. After hearing Yu Yunli knocking on the door, he went to open the gate himself.
There were two guards standing in front, and Yu Yunli was well protected in the middle of the guards.
Although there were people between them, it did not prevent Yu Yunli from cursing at Yu Jinshu: "Yu Jinshu, you hit me yesterday, and I will never let you go."
Yu Jinshu sneered: "What kind of endless method do you want?"
Yu Yunli: "Either you slap yourself 100 times, or I slap you 200 times."
Yu Jinshu laughed: "Yu Yunli, you think I'm afraid of you just because you brought more than 20 people with you? You even slapped yourself a hundred times. I'm not a fool. If you have the guts, let them do something to me."
Yu Yunli ordered the two guards in front: "Catch her and beat her."
After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Marquisate. How could the two guards dare to attack her? One of the guards turned to look at Yu Yunli and said, "Second Miss, didn't you tell us to beat the dog?"
Yu Yunli said arrogantly: "Not only beat the dog, but also beat her. You must know that her mother has been divorced by my father..."
"It's not divorce, it's divorce." Yu Jinshu corrected in time.
Yu Yunli said: "In short, Yu Jinshu is not a legitimate daughter now."
"You're wrong again." Yu Jinshu corrected him again, "Although my mother and father have divorced, I am still the eldest daughter in the family tree."
"You..." Yu Yunli couldn't argue anymore, and pointed at Yu Jinshu with anger, her fingertips trembling.
Yu Jinshu looked at the two guards in front of him and said, "I'm sure you're not that stupid to come here and beat me up. I'm the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family. Did you ask my father for permission before coming here?"
"We were called here by the Second Young Lady to beat the dog. We didn't mean to beat you, the Eldest Young Lady." The guard's tone was still respectful. After all, the Marquis wanted to invite Wen back to be the mistress.
Yu Jinshu's brows were solemn, and his tone was stern: "Even if it's a dog, you can't hit it."
The guard looked embarrassed and said, "Miss, your big yellow dog bit the Second Madam and the Second Miss. We were just following orders."
Yu Jinshu said, "My Dahuang only bites bad people. They overestimated their own abilities and came to the yard, banging on the door and hurling insults at us. That made Dahuang think we were bad people, and that's why he bit them. This is their own fault, Dahuang is not to blame."
This really makes sense.
The security guard was not unreasonable. After hearing this, he really felt that the big yellow dog should not be beaten and killed.
It would be a real shame to kill such an obedient and smart dog.
Seeing the guard disobeying her, Yu Yunli angrily scolded, "I'm the Second Young Miss. Yu Jinshu was even kicked out, and you actually listen to her instead of me?"
Yu Jinshu laughed and said, "Yu Yunli, I came out on my own. How can you say I was driven out? Your ability to make up stories is really amazing! I admire you."
As she spoke, she cupped her hands towards Yu Yunli, causing the onlookers to burst into laughter.
