Chapter 318: Marquis's Madam vs. Younger Prince 61
Liang Wanzhou, along with his newly recruited followers, stormed into Fuguang Temple in a mighty procession and went straight to the courtyard in the back hills where pilgrims could rest.
There were no other pilgrims in Fuguang Temple tonight, and many courtyards were empty and pitch black. Following the light, Liang Wanzhou quickly found the courtyard where Ji Yunhuan lived.
"Come here! Fence off this yard for me. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out! All of you, follow me in."
After Liang Wanzhou entered, he ordered people to search the yard.
All the doors were kicked open, the beds and cabinets in the house were all searched, and the floor was covered with broken porcelain pieces.
Liang Wanzhou's followers were all ruffians. They heard from the people in the wealthy gambling house that they could make money by following the Marquis, so they joined the Marquis. Sure enough, they were transformed into servants. In the past few days, they have made a lot of money by following the Marquis.
"Isn't Fuguang Temple the largest temple? Why are there so many cheap things here? It's just wood and porcelain, not worth much!"
"We can't take such a big ornament away, so we might as well smash it! It will make a loud noise when we smash it, hahahaha..."
"The Marquis is here to catch an adulterer. Look carefully under the bed. Maybe the adulterer is hiding there. Even among the rich and powerful, there is no cleanliness. The Marquis is being cuckolded. Hahaha..."
"Shh~ Keep your voice down, don't let the Marquis hear you. If you ask me, Madam is living a life of widowhood in the mansion. The girls in the brothel all know that the Marquis is not well! He can't get up without medicine, and they still have to pretend to be comfortable. They are not willing to serve the Marquis."
The followers did not find the "adulterer", so they reluctantly searched the yard. There was definitely nothing valuable in the yard. They even climbed over the rockery, but did not see a single person.
The only thing left was the main room with the lights on. The outer room was bare, with no decorative ornaments except for the tables, chairs and incense tables. It could be seen clearly at a glance.
The followers were too lazy to search since there was nothing valuable there anyway.
Shiqin stood guard at the door of the inner room, her eyes red with anger, "How dare you! Madam is of noble status, how can you search her whenever you want? If you search her today, Madam's reputation will be ruined. Madam has a strong temper, if she dies here, how are you going to explain to the Ji family?"
"Don't use the Ji family to bully others! Xuanwu Marquis Mansion is also a wealthy family. Are they afraid of the Ji family? You slut! Get out of here!"
Wu was full of energy, as if she had found the meaning of life again, and raised her hand to slap Shiqin.
Shiqin is no longer the well-educated and well-behaved maid she used to be. She thinks what Chen Peng said is right. To deal with unreasonable hooligans, one must be even more unreasonable than they are!
She learned two moves from Chen Peng. They were of course not effective against strong men, but they were enough to deal with an old woman!
Shiqin grabbed Wu's hand and twisted it hard, causing Wu to scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"You...you slut! Let me go! It's only natural for a master to beat his servant, how dare you resist?"
Mrs. Wu was so angry that she lost her mind. A maid who came with the dowry actually dared to put pressure on her. She raised her foot and kicked Shiqin!
Shiqin immediately shook off Wu's hand. Wu was no longer as strong as she used to be. She lost her balance and fell to the ground with a bang, howling miserably.
"Ah! My legs! Bitch! You dare to hit me? You are disrespecting my superior. I will kill you today!"
Shiqin showed an innocent expression, "Old Madam, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. I just listened to you and let you go."
The attendants did not dare to help the old lady. The old lady was like a piece of taffy and would not let go of anyone she got hold of. A few days ago, she even complained that the doorman was not serving her well and opened the door a step late, so she deducted the doorman's monthly salary.
Fortunately, they didn't often deal with the old lady. Occasionally, when the old lady went out, the marquis would arrange people to follow her and guard her. At first, they thought that serving the old lady was a good job and they could get extra money.
Who knew that the old lady was so troublesome, with little money but a lot of trouble, and even wanted to make money from them. Now no one is willing to serve the old lady.
In the end, it was Wan Niang who stepped forward and helped Wu up. Wu was walking with a limp, which looked quite funny.
Wan Niang couldn't help but feel ecstatic. During the year she entered the mansion, she had suffered a lot from Wu. The more miserable Wu was, the happier she was.
Wan Niang helped Wu sit down and ignored her. Instead, she took the Marquis' arm, patted the Marquis' chest and comforted him, "Don't be angry, Marquis. She's just a lowly maid. It doesn't matter. Just send her away at will."
"Madam has done such a shameful thing. She will listen to whatever the Marquis says in the future. The most important thing right now is to catch the thief and both of them. We can't let Madam get away with it."
Shiqin stared at Wanniang fiercely and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can the lady be a thief? You are the thief!"
Wan Niang sneered, "I'll save your face, but you insist on making me explain clearly. After all, we're all family here, so there's no need to worry about it getting out. Madam is hiding inside and having an affair, and the Marquis is here to catch them. It's useless for you to stop her. You can't hide this kind of scandal!"
Liang Wanzhou's fists creaked as he roared, "Ji Yunhuan! Get out! Hand over the adulterer! I'll only say this once. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for not giving you face!"
Shiqin yelled even louder than Liang Wanzhou, "The Marquis heard a few rumors and came to catch the adulterer without knowing the truth. When has the Marquis ever given his wife the slightest bit of face? The Marquis' behavior is really chilling!"
The lights in the inner room were bright, but Ji Yunhuan didn't make any sound. Liang Wanzhou felt more and more that the adulterer was inside, and Ji Yunhuan must be too guilty to dare to come out.
He became even more furious, and waved his hands at his followers, shouting, "Break the door! Drag Ji Yunhuan and the adulterer out! I want to see how she can still argue!"
The followers were particularly interested in catching a couple cheating, and they started kicking the door immediately.
Shiqin screamed and dodged, but she would not just stand there stupidly. If she got hurt, her ladyship would be sad.
"Stop! Buddhism is a quiet place, how can we allow you to act so presumptuously!" Yuan Hui hurried over, panting with sweat on his forehead.
He prayed for a talisman for the donor Ji to have a child. As the master was busy with a ritual, he should have been the one to explain Buddhism to the donor Ji and discuss Buddhist scriptures and doctrines. However, the donor Ji thought he was boring and decided to stay there first, waiting until the master was free tomorrow to discuss Buddhist scriptures and doctrines with him.
Although he did nothing, Donor Ji still donated a lot of money. Yuanhui felt embarrassed, so he copied Buddhist scriptures for Donor Ji in the meditation room and offered them before the Buddha, praying for peace and happiness.
Liang Wanzhou broke in like a robber and injured the novice monk at the door. The master was not available, so the young monk had to come to him to take charge of the situation.
Yuan Hui didn't know Liang Wanzhou, but he could tell that the man in gorgeous clothes hugging his beautiful concubine was the leader of this group. He clasped his hands together towards Liang Wanzhou, trying to reason with him.
"Donor Ji is a distinguished guest of Fuguang Temple, of noble status. Who are you? Why are you so rude? No matter what grudges you have, you can't force a woman like this. Donor, let's talk nicely, don't bang on the door anymore."
