After a moment, he seemed to feel that the beating was not right. After a few hits, he looked up and found that it was Xiangyun who was under him. The servant was about to stand up and run away.
But he was immediately pinned to the ground by Chang Mama and her men. Chang Mama started to curse: "This shameless thing only knows how to use dirty tricks. This sickly guy has a black heart. Drag him out and beat him. As long as you don't beat him to death, it's fine."
Xiangyun felt a pain in her buttocks when she was knocked to the ground, but since she was wearing so many winter clothes, it was no big deal. She stood up and followed the group of people dragging the servant and said, "Break that kid's arm! He dared to hit my stomach."
Mother Chang stood in Gu Tingyu's yard and cursed, "You disrespectful and unfilial thing, you've learned all the etiquette and morality like a dog. Even those who haven't been to school know that as a son, you should be filial, but this guy who holds a book every day doesn't know that. He is so cruel, what's the matter? My daughter renewed the title with silver, and she is afraid that it will be snatched away? Bah, let me tell you, some people value this title, while others don't care about it. How shameless. Bah!"
Soon, a maid came out with a stern face and scolded, "Mother Fang, the young master has fainted. How dare you, a servant, criticize the master?"
Mother Chang laughed and said, "Oh, this guy thinks he's the boss, and that shameless guy dares to do evil things, and is afraid of what others will say! Humph! My daughter has a kind heart, but she is not a good person. She thinks she can do good things by harming others. It's a beautiful thought! Pah."
After saying that, Mother Chang turned around and walked out.
After returning to Jiaxi Hall, he stayed by Bai's side and asked about her well-being.
Bai had also heard about Xiangyun's attack and asked with a frown, "Is Xiangyun injured?"
After putting down the bowl of soup, Chang's mother replied, "No, she just fell on her butt. It's okay. Her stomach is covered with many layers of tissue. That wicked man actually hit Xiangyun in the stomach so hard."
After sighing, Bai said, "It was originally just a precaution, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right. I can't tell whether it's a blessing or a curse. These wealthy families really have all kinds of problems."
Madam Chang massaged Bai's legs while saying, "Young lady, don't take this to heart. The servant has already confessed. It was the boy who gave the order. However, he also said that Concubine Qin had been to their courtyard earlier."
Leaning back, Bai touched her belly and said, "Send someone to detain Concubine Qin first. Once things in the palace are clear, we can try her later."
The servant on the other side had his legs and arms broken and was tied up and thrown into an empty house.
At this time, the fourth room's lady was also knocking at the door. Bai looked at Chang Mama and said, "You go ahead. There's no need to give her face."
Chang Mama had long wanted to confront the Fourth Lady. She wasn't even afraid of the legitimate son born to the previous wife, let alone a relative from the next room. Upon hearing Bai's instructions, she smiled and replied, "Yes, leave it all to me."
After slowly massaging Bai's legs, she walked towards the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. As she reached the gate, she heard the Fourth Lady and her daughter-in-law arguing with Bai. Chang Mama signaled the guard to open the corner gate. As soon as she was outside, Chang Mama put her hands on her hips and cursed, "I wonder what's going on these days? There's no one in the whole capital who visits. You know your wife is pregnant and can't receive you, yet you're coming to visit now. What's your plan?"
The fourth lady of the house jumped up and cursed, "You lowly servant! How dare a servant speak to me like that? Call Bai out. If she doesn't come out, I'll make her known to everyone as an unfilial person!"
After a sneer, Chang Mama ordered the maids behind her, "This relative has gone crazy and has already run to the door. We can't just ignore him. Please help the lady get on the carriage."
