Before the Jiang family steward and the Jiang family guards even reached the main gate, they heard Lan Bing'er's scream.
The butler was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, hurry up! Miss is in danger!"
This young lady is the apple of the old lady's eye. Just because she looks a little like the second aunt, the old lady dotes on her and treats her like the apple of her eye.
What should we do now?
When the Jiang family steward led his men out, they saw Miss Biao being pinned to the ground and whipped by a girl.
The servants she brought with her all fell to the ground.
One of them was a master sent by the Jiang family to the Lan family. He was rolling on the ground with his eyes covered. The other three were also injured. One of them had a kitchen knife stuck in his body. The old woman and the maid were also cowering and dared not move.
The butler, who did not recognize Qingtan, angrily said, "Stop!"
The guards surrounded them.
"Who are you people, daring to cause trouble at the Jiang residence?"
Shen Danru had no choice but to speak up: "Alright, Qingtan, stop. Uncle Guan, I'm sorry, I didn't know these people were from the Jiang family."
The steward of the Jiang family was surnamed Guan, and everyone called him Uncle Guan.
Uncle Guan recognized the voice and looked up to see Shen Danru. There was a girl standing next to her whom he had never seen before.
He guessed that it must have been brought by Miss Shen.
His attention was completely focused on Miss Biao, and he didn't even realize that the person who hit him was Miss Shen's person.
What should we do?
He was in a dilemma: on one hand, there was the person Old Madam Jiang cherished most, and on the other hand, there was the young master's beloved.
He dared not offend either side.
Lan Bing'er was still confused about the situation and roared, ordering Uncle Guan, "Kill her! Kill her!"
The butler looked troubled and could only say, "Miss, is there some misunderstanding between you? You are both distinguished guests of the Jiang family. We can talk things over."
Lan Bing'er was astonished. A distinguished guest from the Jiang family? Impossible. She would go find her great-aunt right away. Her great-aunt doted on her so much that she would definitely stand up for her.
Seeing Lan Bing'er enter the mansion, the steward gave the servants a look and instructed them to go find the eldest young master.
He secretly worried for Jiang Shuyou. It seemed that Miss Shen had offended the cousin, and it would be difficult for her to enter the Jiang family in the future.
It's up to the eldest son to handle this matter.
Uncle Guan stepped forward with a smile: "Miss Chen, please come in."
He then instructed his servants: "Take these blind fools away and treat them."
He led Shen Danru and the other two into the Jiang residence.
Jiang Shuyou was still studying in the study. Since he had agreed to his grandmother's promise, he had been working hard.
He plans to achieve the highest honors in the provincial examinations this autumn and next spring.
He hadn't taken the imperial examinations seriously; they were child's play to him. But since he had promised his grandmother, he had no choice but to do as she said.
"Sir, sir, something terrible has happened! Uncle Guan said that Miss Shen beat up Miss Biao, and Miss Biao went to the old lady to complain."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyou immediately put down the book in his hand: "What's going on?"
Fu Liu said urgently, "You should go and take a look quickly. What if Miss Biao makes things difficult for Miss Chen if we are late?"
"She dares."
Uncle Guan led Shen Danru to the Jiang residence, but was at a loss as to where to lead her.
If they are taken to the old lady's courtyard, they will certainly be made difficult by the young lady.
It wouldn't be appropriate for a lone man and woman to be brought to the eldest son's courtyard.
Most of the women in the Jiang family were in Shengjing; only the old lady and the eldest son were here.
Shen Danru noticed the bitterness that flickered across Uncle Guan's face despite his forced smile, and immediately understood what he was worried about.
She has a powerful master from the Jiang family by her side, even more powerful than Lan Bing'er, so what is she afraid of?
Seeing Jiang Jingxian's furrowed brows and preoccupied expression, the little girl must be worried about seeing her grandmother and older brother.
Shen Danru smiled and said, "Uncle Guan, let's go directly to the old lady's courtyard."
Uncle Guan looked troubled: "Miss Chen, why don't we wait here for our master?"
"No need, it's alright."
At this moment, Lan Bing'er was complaining to Old Madam Jiang with snot and tears streaming down her face, saying how Shen Danru and the other two women had bullied her.
Lan Bing'er didn't know how Shen Danru had managed to climb into the Jiang family, but in her great-aunt's heart, she, her grandniece, was definitely the most important, and her great-aunt would certainly not let them off the hook.
Madam Jiang frowned.
Why would such a well-behaved child like Miss Shen bully Bing'er?
She wouldn't believe a word she said.
Bing'er is a good child in every way, but she's been spoiled so much that she's become too domineering.
Thinking this, he instructed Green Willow and Fragrant Grass: "Where is Miss Chen? Quickly invite her in. You must have frightened that child."
Green Willow and Fragrant Grass responded with a "Yes," and hurried out to look for the person.
Lan Bing'er was furious. How could her great-aunt be siding with those people when she was the victim?
At this moment, she was in excruciating pain all over her body, and a whip had struck her face; she didn't know if it had disfigured her.
Thinking of this, she burst into tears of grievance.
Old Madam Shen was annoyed by her crying. She still wanted to marry into the Jiang family. No wonder none of her grandsons liked her.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Let's talk when they come in."
Upon hearing this, Lan Bing'er realized that her great-aunt still doted on her the most. Sure enough, when they came in later, her great-aunt would definitely settle accounts with them.
Her great-aunt appeared kind, but when she lost her temper, she was terrifying; her grandfather and father were so frightened that they dared not speak.
She had also heard her grandfather say that her great-aunt was able to manage the huge Duke's mansion well because she had her own ruthless methods.
They're finished now.
Granny Zhao sighed. Before meeting Miss Chen, Lan Bing'er was a treasure, but now she probably isn't.
As the curtain was lifted and Shen Danru walked in, Granny Zhao quickly went to greet her:
