"Master Chu, I believe you won't protect the Su family, right?!" Zhang said with a threatening tone.

"Don't worry, Madam Tongpan. I will certainly not protect anyone. It's just that it doesn't seem a good idea to rush in like this rashly. Let's have someone inform them." Magistrate Chu was a smart man. He would naturally not follow Zhang and do something stupid. Who would dare to rush in rashly without knowing what the situation was inside? If there really was someone important inside, he would not be able to afford the offense. What's more, he had no grudge against the Su family and the two families even had a good relationship. He had no choice but to come here.

"The master is right. It is better to inform them." The county magistrate's wife, Wei, also chimed in. She naturally stood on the side of the Su family, thinking that if something really happened, it would give the Su family some time to respond. Ever since her two daughters-in-law became pregnant, Wei had held an unprecedented friendly and grateful attitude towards the Su family. What's more, the magistrate's wife seemed too domineering and unforgiving. It was obvious that it was not the Su family's fault.

"What are you reporting for? To give them time to escape? You have made a good plan! Don't think that I don't know the relationship between you and the Su family. You are trying to favor the Su family, but forget it!" Zhang glared at Wei unhappily, viciously, as if Wei had done something unforgivable, and walked inside angrily with her servants.

The servants of the Su Mansion only symbolically stopped them at the beginning and then did nothing else. Zhang went on unhindered, grabbed a maid to ask for directions, and walked towards the main courtyard.

Magistrate Chu and his wife looked at each other and followed Zhang. Magistrate Chu was thinking about how to deal with the situation as the time came, while his wife was thinking about whether she could help at that time.

The servants of the Su Mansion were not surprised at all when they saw the wife of the Tongpan and her men breaking in. They didn't even show the slightest bit of surprise. They just took a quick look and turned their heads away, silently doing the things in their hands. Zhang's mother and daughter were intent on finding trouble with the Su family and didn't notice these details at all. County Magistrate Chu saw all of this and became more certain of his guess.

The little maid led Zhang and her group into the yard. Before Zhang had time to ask questions, she heard talking and laughter inside. Zhang had never seen Su Wenyue, but Sun recognized Su Wenyue's voice at once.

"Mom, this is it, that bitch from the Su family is in there."

Zhang received the affirmation, so she didn't need to ask the little maid anymore. She rushed in with her people: "Come here, bring these daring and unruly people to me..."

Zhang was stuck in the middle of her words, and then there was a plop. Sun followed behind and lost her voice when she went in. She saw the majestic old lady wearing imperial robes sitting in front of her, and her heart trembled. They were all wives of officials, and even if they had poor eyesight, they would have recognized that the imperial robes in front of them were the color of the second rank.

Zhang's mother and daughter both knelt down, and the people who rushed in with them also knelt on the ground. County Magistrate Chu and his wife followed behind and when they heard the noise in front, they hurried forward to pay their respects.

"Your humble servant greets Madam Marquis, how are you?" The magistrate's wife only knew to kneel down, but Magistrate Chu immediately revealed the identity of the old woman at the top. The people in the room were shocked again when they heard the title of Madam Marquis, and they wished they could kowtow to the ground. They were clearly here to arrest someone, but they ended up arresting the high and mighty Madam Marquis. They were in trouble now.

Seeing that Magistrate Chu could reveal her identity in one breath, Old Madam Su's eyes swept over Magistrate Chu and lingered for half a second. Since he could reveal her identity, he must be closely related to the Su family. Moreover, when they came in, they followed behind Zhang and his group. The yamen runners behaved very restrainedly, so she had a clue in her mind.

Madam Su glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground, and spoke after a while: "Who are these people? Is the world so chaotic now? How dare any random person break into my Su family and point at my nose and scold me? Do they not take me seriously, or do they not take the Marquis of Bei'an Mansion seriously, or do they not take the court seriously at all."

Madam Su's words were relatively calm, but the people kneeling on the ground were terrified. What were they saying? How dare they not take the imperial court seriously? This was a crime of treason.

"Grandma, this is the wife of our Yiyang Prefecture Tongpan. The Tongpan is one of the most powerful people in Yiyang Prefecture. No wonder the Tongpan's wife dares to ignore the court. I heard that she even wants to dismiss the county magistrate. Forgive my granddaughter's ignorance, but I have never heard of a woman in the inner court interfering in the affairs of the court. The world has really changed." Su Wenyue also laughed and said

When the wife of the Tongpan heard Su Wenyue's words, her already pale face turned even paler. She no longer cared about hating Su Wenyue. If the Marquis's wife really pinned these charges on her, not only would she be in trouble, but the Sun family would also be in big trouble. Being dismissed from office would be a small matter, but disrespecting the court was tantamount to treason, a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan!

"There is such a thing, Wang, is it true?" Old Madam Su asked coldly, as if she was considering something.

"To answer Madam Hou's question, even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to defy the court or interfere in its affairs. I was just talking nonsense at that time, and I can't take it seriously. Madam Hou, please forgive me. I will never dare to do that again." Zhang was so nervous that she stuttered.

"I don't think you dare! But it's true that you are causing trouble for my granddaughter. Yue Niang is now nearly five months pregnant. If anything goes wrong due to the bad intentions of some people, I will not let anyone off!"

"I dare not!" Zhang's mother and daughter were frightened half to death by the questioning of the Marquis's wife, and just kept begging for mercy. They never thought that Su Wenyue, the daughter of a merchant, would have such a powerful background, otherwise they would not dare to come to her house even if they were given a hundred times the courage. Sun regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She originally thought it was just a rumor, but unexpectedly it was true. She was really harmed by Chen and Wang.

Magistrate Chu and his wife were standing by, their hearts pounding. Their bare legs were numb from kneeling. Although the incident seemed to have nothing to do with them, it still happened in Xinye. Intimidated by the majesty of the Marquis' wife, Su Wenyue helped them up and let them sit down. Zhang's mother and daughter were not so lucky. Although their knees hurt from kneeling for a long time, they could only kneel obediently without the Marquis' wife saying anything.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Coming out of the Su Mansion supporting each other, Zhang's mother and daughter felt covered in cold sweat, their legs were a little weak, and they felt completely exhausted. The wife of Marquis Beian was so powerful and terrifying that she seemed to be able to see through their thoughts with just one look.
