Chapter 272: Marquis Mansion Madam vs. Younger Prince 15
"You...you are so presumptuous!" The old lady pointed at Uncle Fang and stamped her feet in anger. "Have you forgotten the kindness the old marquis has shown you? I am the old lady of the marquisate, and you should be loyal to me! It's fine if I can't call you to account, but you actually dare to help an outsider?"
Ji Yunhuan sneered in his heart.
What an outsider! No matter how much she did for the Marquis' Mansion, no matter how much she helped Liang Wanzhou, in the eyes of these people she would always be an outsider who could be abandoned, used, or even killed at any time!
Uncle Fang was a burly man with a long scar on his neck and countless wounds, big and small, on his body. These were all evidence of how he had fought for the old marquis and the marquis's mansion.
But after the young marquis succeeded to the throne, not only did he not honor him, but he took back the rewards from the old marquis and used the house that was originally intended for his retirement to keep his mistress.
He got a job as a doorman, which was barely enough to fill his stomach. If it weren't for his lady's kindness, the serious illness would have taken his life.
Uncle Fang was extremely disappointed with the Marquis' Mansion. He said coldly, "It is precisely because of the friendship between me and the old Marquis that I have been staying in the Marquis' Mansion. Madam is not an outsider. Madam is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. You should respect her, old lady."
The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson? This wicked slave committed treason. Tie him up and punish him with thirty lashes! I wonder who will dare to disrespect me in the future!"
The servants were all very familiar with Uncle Fang, and many of them even learned martial arts from Uncle Fang. Not to mention that they couldn't beat Uncle Fang, even if they could, they wouldn't do it.
The servants pretended not to hear and did not move.
The old lady roared, "I am the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. If you dare not listen to me, when the Marquis comes back, I will let him deal with you one by one!"
A servant pulled off his hat with the Marquis's insignia on it and said disdainfully, "That's great. I didn't want to do this job for a long time! I thought I could get some merit by following the Marquis, but who knew the Marquis would stop practicing martial arts? I might as well become a yamen runner."
The servant bowed to Uncle Fang and said, "Thank you for your guidance these days. We will meet again in the future. I advise you to leave this filthy place as soon as possible. You are thinking of your friendship with the old marquis, but some people are cruel and ruthless and want to beat you to death."
With someone taking the lead, the servants became even less cautious.
They lived in the back house in the front and usually did not come to the yard. If the old lady had not shouted that there was a thief, they would not have come.
The servants dispersed in a hurry. The capable ones left the mansion directly. The rest wanted to wait and see, but they were unwilling to listen to the old lady and went back to rest.
"Rebellion! Rebellion! It's really a rebellion!" The old lady couldn't catch up with those servants, so she pointed at Ji Yunhuan and cursed.
"You black-hearted thing, you did it on purpose! Do you know what it means to keep family disgrace to yourself? You are throwing the face of the Marquis' Mansion on the ground and stepping on it. Why does the Marquis' Mansion have no money? Why can't it pay the monthly salary? It's all your fault!"
"Hand over the dowry in your hands quickly. If the Marquis's house is not doing well, you won't have a good life either!"
Ji Yunhuan was so angry that she almost laughed. What did the family scandal of the Marquis' Mansion have to do with her? She wished that as many people as possible would know about it.
"The old lady just said that I was an outsider, why do you want me to take out money now? I didn't have a good life before, but now the old lady has lost her face and wants to steal my dowry blatantly."
"I tell you no! Not today, not tomorrow, and not in the future. I will treat the Marquisate the same way they treat me. Madam, please give up on this thought as soon as possible!"
The old lady was furious. Although the servant had left, she still brought many maids with her. The indentures of these people were in her hands, and they dared not disobey her.
"Catch that maid! Hand over your dowry within three days or I'll sell her to a brothel!"
"Don't you have a deep bond as master and servant? Hurry up and prepare. You'd better not fool me. This is the Marquis' Mansion, not your Ji Family. I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"
The maids rushed towards Ji Yunhuan. They were women who did rough work and were the strongest.
Ji Yunhuan protected Shiqi behind him, took out a sharp hairpin, and stabbed a fat dark woman in the face.
"Get lost! I am the wife of the Marquis, the eldest daughter of the Ji family. If you dare to hurt even a hair on my head, the Ji family will not let you go!"
The old lady grinned with her missing teeth and laughed, "How can the Ji family care about the affairs of our mansion? Hold down Ji Yunhuan and take that maid away!"
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. I don't believe that Master Ji can rush to the inner courtyard of the Marquis's mansion to see how I discipline my daughter-in-law. You guys should be careful not to hurt Madam's face. It will be bad if people see it."
Ji Yunhuan is well-read, talented, and well-informed. Even her father praises her for her intelligence. If she were a man, the Ji family would have another top scholar.
Unfortunately, she was a woman and could only work hard in the backyard. She believed that she understood the ways of the world and was sensible. She was not a naive lady raised in the boudoir. She thought she could handle the trivial matters in the backyard.
Ji Yunhuan suddenly regretted not learning some martial arts. She had never thought that the inner struggles in the capital would ultimately have to rely on brute force!
Ji Yunhuan stabbed two or three maids with the hairpin in her hand, but she was ultimately no match for their brute force. She was trapped and saw Shiqi about to be captured.
"Let go of my lady!" Uncle Fang hesitated for a while, but finally took action.
Uncle Fang kicked away a fat black woman, whose face was covered in blood. She actually dared to reach out and twist the lady's arm. She was really bold.
"Get out of here! If you dare to touch my wife again, I'll twist your heads off!"
Uncle Fang looked ferocious and evil, and the maids did not dare to touch Ji Yunhuan anymore. They just surrounded her from a distance.
Shiqi was pulled by two maids, with her hands twisted behind her back. She was tied up in an instant. The woman tried to stuff her mouth, but she bit the woman's hand hard and shouted:
"Madam, be careful! Madam, please leave quickly. Don't worry about me. Leave the mansion quickly!"
Of course Ji Yunhuan refused to leave. Even if she had to leave, she wanted to take Shiqi with her.
In this marquis' mansion, even the most gentle person would be forced to show some bloodiness. Ji Yunhuan didn't know what he looked like now, but he must have been extremely ugly with disheveled hair and bared fangs and claws.
She knew that Uncle Fang was from the Marquis' Mansion, and that he protected her because he remembered the kindness they had shown him in the past. It was impossible for Uncle Fang to go against the old lady for her maid.
Uncle Fang was a stranger, and he felt that his hands were too dirty, and he was too embarrassed to touch the lady, so he said:
"Where do you want to go, Madam? I will arrange a carriage to take you out."
