Shen Xinyan was horrified: "Why would the Madam force Ling Fu to leave the house when she was fine? What about mother? Could it be that mother just let her do what she wanted?"

"Someone from Princess Yonghe's mansion came to report that Princess Yonghe's condition had worsened, so the Crown Prince hurriedly escorted His Highness to visit her." Xia He hurriedly followed behind her, panting as she replied.

"Mr. Lu also left the house with the eldest son early this morning. Now the only person who has a say in the house is the Duke, but no one dares to disturb them."

No wonder, the eldest princess who could stop Fang was not in the mansion, and Wei Junhang and his son who could protect Lin Fu were also not in the mansion. The Duke had never cared about the affairs of the mansion, and his courtyard was not accessible to ordinary people. Therefore, after going around in circles, it actually created the best opportunity for Fang.

Shen Xinyan tried hard to suppress her anger, and unknowingly quickened her pace: "Why did the Madam want to hurt Rong Fu?"

"The eldest lady said that Lingfu was a dishonest person and stole a jade lock from the fourth young master's room." When she said this, Xia He was so angry that her eyes were about to spit fire.

What a shitty jade locket. Others didn’t care, but she didn’t believe that Lingfu was greedy for these useless things.

In the eyes of that little guy, a steamed bun with three fresh delicacies is probably more attractive than a piece of fine jade!

Shen Xinyan was angry and anxious, fearing that the theft was fake, and that she was just trying to take away Ling Fu to teach the second wife a lesson. It seemed that she had overestimated Fang's character, and in order to achieve her goal, she was willing to frame a seven-year-old child!

At the back, she almost trotted forward with her skirt lifted up. When the master and servant were about to catch up, the little girl's sharp cry could be heard from far away.

"If you dare to touch me, when my grandmother comes back I will tell her that you bullied me and she will beat you all up and kick you out!"

"It's the Fourth Miss! Damn it! How dare they attack the Fourth Miss!" Xia He said angrily when she heard Xiao Yingzhi's voice.

Shen Xinyan almost ran over.

On the crossroad, the little girl in a red skirt was like an angry little tiger, holding Pingfu behind her with her arms outstretched. Her round face was flushed red with anger, and her thin eyebrows were raised. An unwilling old woman tried to reach out to pull Pingfu behind her, but the little girl kicked her hard without any hesitation.

"If you dare to touch us, grandma will not let you off when she comes back!" the little girl screamed, glaring fiercely at the old women who were surrounding them and were at a loss what to do.

Seeing this, Shen Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this girl still knows how to bring up her grandmother.

"They are so useless that they can't even take care of two children!" Seeing that the old women were unable to pull Pingfu out for a long time, Nanny Zhang became anxious.

"Sister Zhang, that's the Fourth Young Lady. If she really reports this to His Highness, we will be in big trouble!" said a long-faced maid unhappily.

Aunt Zhang was choked by her, then looked at Lingfu who was being protected tightly by Xiao Yingzhi, and Chunliu who was being held back by the maids not far away and was about to cry. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "You two go and carry the fourth girl away, you two drag that little bastard out. I don't believe that you can't even deal with a little kid today!"

If I can't even handle such a small matter, how can the eldest lady trust me in the future!

The four old women looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.

Seeing that they were still standing there motionless, Nanny Zhang said angrily, "I will bear all the consequences by myself. Is that ok?"

"You are the one who said this. No one forced you. We are all witnesses. If His Highness blames us, you can't blame us!" Someone spoke first.

Aunt Zhang was so angry that her face turned pale. She secretly scolded these people for being cunning, but she didn't dare to delay any longer: "Yes, yes, yes, I said it, why don't you do it quickly?!"

Seeing that someone was willing to step forward, everyone felt relieved. They rolled up their sleeves, two of them went to pick up little Yingzhi, and two of them took the opportunity to drag Pingfu away.

"What are you doing?! Let them go!" Chunliu's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she shouted to stop them, but she was held tightly by two maids and could not move at all.

"You bad boy, let me go now, or your grandmother will beat you with a stick! You bad boy, don't touch me!" Xiao Yingzhi screamed, bit, hit and kicked. The old woman who was going to take her away was concerned about her identity and did not dare to use force. In just a moment, she had been kicked several times by the little girl.

"Let her go, let her go!" Lingfu was anxious, thinking that they wanted to harm the little girl, so he used all his strength to hit a long-faced old woman who was holding the little girl with his little fists. He didn't know where on the old woman's body he hit, and the old woman loosened her strength in pain. Xiao Yingzhi took the opportunity to break free, and bit the wrist of another old woman who was trying to grab her, and then cleverly slipped under the other woman's armpit.

"You little bastard, how dare you hit me!!" The woman who was hit by Ling Fu was furious and slapped him in the face with her hand...

"stop!!"

“Bang!”

Shen Xinyan was unable to stop her and could only watch helplessly as Pingfu was knocked to the ground by her.

"Wow!! You dare to hit Pingfu, you dare to hit Pingfu!!" When Xiao Yingzhi from the other room saw Pingfu being beaten, she burst into tears immediately, kicking and hitting the old woman while crying.

How could the old woman dare to fight back? Moreover, she was frightened by Shen Xinyan's shout and her legs went weak, so she just had to endure the beating from the little girl.

Shen Xinyan had already rushed over and picked up Lingfu. She saw a red palm print on the face that had finally become fairer, which was enough to tell how strong the opponent had used. She was furious.

She walked up to the old woman who had beaten Pingfu and was now kneeling on the ground trembling with fear, and raised her hand to slap her hard in the face, so hard that her face turned to the side. But she was still not satisfied, so she slapped her twice more, each time harder and more cruelly than the last, and her face swelled up instantly.

"Madam, why did you have to dirty your hands!" Xia He, who came over breathlessly, was so angry that her eyes were about to spit fire when she saw the palm print on Lingfu's face.

"Mom!! They bullied me and Rongfu!" When little Yingzhi found out her mother was coming, she broke away from Chunliu's arms, cried and ran over to her, hugging her legs to complain.

Shen Xinyan half-knelt down, hugged her and kissed her, then said a few words of comfort, then glared coldly at Aunt Zhang who was secretly groaning.

"You dare to touch my people?! Who has the guts to do that?!"

Seeing Fang standing up hastily after hearing the news, Aunt Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "I followed the order of the eldest lady to drive this dirty little... boy out of the house. I didn't expect the fourth lady to stop me. But I swear that I never used force on the fourth lady. This is just a misunderstanding!"

"She is a liar, not Lingfu!!" Before Shen Xinyan could say anything, Xiao Yingzhi beside her had already screamed in retort.

"I am absolutely not lying. I have evidence. The jade lock of the Fourth Young Master was found on Lingfu, and someone saw him stealing the jade lock from the Fourth Young Master's room." Nanny Zhang explained.

"I didn't! You are wronging me!" Pingfu, who was held by Chunliu, shouted with red eyes.

"You've seized all the loot and you still dare not admit it?!" Nanny Zhang glared at him fiercely, but when she met Shen Xinyan's cold eyes, she immediately shrank back in fear, and suddenly felt that maybe she shouldn't take this job today.

"What jade lock did Lingfu take from your fourth young master? Bring it to me and let me see it." Shen Xinyan glanced at her and said slowly.

"I didn't take it!" Hearing her ask this, thinking that she believed what Aunt Zhang said, Linfu was so anxious that he wanted to rush over to explain to her.

Chun Liu quickly hugged him tightly and said firmly, "I believe you didn't take it. Madam believes it too. We all believe it."

"But..." Lin Fu was still a little worried.

He was not afraid of what others said, but he was afraid that his wife would believe what those people said and misunderstand that he was a clumsy child.

"This is it." In the other room, Nanny Zhang had already handed the jade lock to Shen Xinyan.

Shen Xinyan took it and looked through it, sneering: "I thought it was some kind of treasure. Zai Zang should find something decent. This broken thing is not even worthy of being tossed around by our Ping Fu!"

After saying that, he threw the jade lock to the ground with force. With a "snap" sound, the jade lock broke into several pieces.

"Madam Crown Prince, you..." Nanny Zhang was so distressed. This small jade lock was worth hundreds of taels.

"What are you doing, second sister-in-law? Are you planning to destroy the evidence to protect that wild child?" Fang saw this scene when she came over and her face immediately darkened.

"Evidence?" Shen Xinyan sneered.

Fang was furious at her laughter: "Don't think that you can pretend nothing happened just because you destroyed the physical evidence. Even if you destroyed the physical evidence, I still have human witnesses! Moreover, this wild kid who came from nowhere dared to do such petty theft in the pure Buddhist place. It can be seen that he is bad from the root. Although my second brother and his wife have good hearts, they should be more careful and not bring cats and dogs back to the mansion casually. You don't mind it, but you should also think about the reputation of our mansion."

Shen Xinyan's mind moved, and she finally realized the reason for today's incident. She looked at Fang with a strange look.

Fang actually brought up the matter of Lingfu in Lingyun Temple. Could it be that she didn't know that the matter had already been discussed? And the Grand Princess didn't even tell her? If so, it can only mean that Fang's control over the inner house in this life is far less than before, and even less than she was at this time in her previous life.

It can even be said that without her knowledge, the Grand Princess had quietly taken back some of the power that had been granted to her.

Although she couldn't figure out what had happened to cause the Grand Princess to change her mind, Shen Xinyan was very happy about this change.

What's funny and lamentable is that Fang was totally unaware of all this, which led to such a bad move today!
