While hating, he came to Xia Yuxuan. He saw Xu Ranyun in the courtyard with disheveled hair, holding a stick in her hand, shouting loudly, while Aunt Lin and Duan Xinqi hugged her tightly. Over there, Fengxian, Cuiping and other maids grabbed Aunt Jiang, Rong'er and two little girls, and Duan Xinqi was scolding Fengxian loudly: "Didn't you see what happened to your grandmother? Do you really want her to beat Aunt Jiang to death? If so, you will be the culprit, why don't you let them go?"
Fengxian cried out, "Second Miss, our grandmother is very different now than she was before. If I don't listen to her and let Aunt Jiang go, she will beat us to death later..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a shout: "How dare you."
Following the voice, Su Nuannuan quickly came forward, her eyebrows raised and her eyes wide open. This fierce and angry expression matched her beautiful face, making her look more beautiful than ever before.
"What do you want to do? It's broad daylight, this is the Marquis of Anping's residence, do you want to kill someone?"
Su Nuannuan came to Xu Ranyun and asked in a stern voice, but unexpectedly, Aunt Lin and Duan Xinqi were relieved when they saw her coming, and Xu Ranyun escaped in this gap. Then she rushed to Su Nuannuan, stiffened her neck and shouted: "I beat and killed my girl, what does it have to do with grandma? You are meddling in everything, and you even care about me teaching my own girl a lesson?"
“Pah…”
The crisp sound of slaps made the noisy voices in the yard so loud that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at Su Nuannuan in disbelief: It is true that the eldest grandmother is powerful. Before, no matter whether it was the second grandmother, Aunt Jiang, or even the bandits of Pushan Temple, anyone who dared to challenge her authority was humiliated. However, no one in this mansion has seen Su Nuannuan look so tough. Well! It's not that no one is here. If the daughter-in-law of the Xue family was here, she would definitely be very excited. Although the grandmother at this moment was full of anger, she looked so much like the time when she was chopping with a kitchen knife on the chopping board and sneering at the same time?
Xu Ranyun was also stunned. He touched his cheeks with his hands and screamed for a long time: "You hit me? How dare you hit me?"
"Why shouldn't I dare?" Su Nuannuan sneered, "Is it because you are old and your memory is not as good as before? Or is it because I have been kind and tolerant in the mansion for more than a year, so you have forgotten what kind of person I was before? Look at what a mess you have made this courtyard into? You even shouted to kill Aunt Jiang. Ask yourself, should you beat her?"
"Should I fight? Should I fight?"
Xu Ranyun grabbed his chest with one hand. His body was shaking with anger, and he screamed, "Even if I deserve to be beaten, it should be the old lady who does it. Why do you want to beat me? I haven't even touched a finger of mine."
"My master is a man of seven feet tall and upright. He doesn't hit women. That's his manner as a man. But it doesn't mean that his wives and concubines can do whatever they want."
Su Nuannuan said coldly, and before she finished speaking, she heard Xu Ranyun's shrill laughter. Then she shouted, "Lawless? Hahaha... Grandma, haven't you done enough lawless things? Why are you here to control me today? How did Biwan die? Have you forgotten? Wasn't it because she was confused for a moment and climbed into my bed? Less than a month later, she said she died of a sudden illness. Who do you think you can hide it from? It was also her bad luck that I ignored her that day, otherwise, do you think you can get away with that thing so easily? Now you have the nerve to control me?"
There was such a thing in the previous life? Alas! Although the girl was not good enough, it was too disrespectful to kill her just because of this.
Su Nuannuan thought to herself, but her face did not show a trace of sad compassion, but said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether Biwan really died suddenly, even if she did not die suddenly and was killed by me, you just said that she is my girl, I can do whatever I want. But Aunt Jiang is different, she is my person, everyone in the mansion knows that she is my aunt, and Chuan Ge'er is her and my child. She is no longer your girl, let alone you can kill her. What is your intention to take her life now?"
This was obvious. Xu Ranyun was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute it. In the end, she had to throw a tantrum and said, "I don't care. Even if she is my love, who gave her this opportunity? She didn't thank me properly, but betrayed me. Why can't I kill her? If I let her go to Chunfeng Garden, how will the people in this mansion look at me? Will they all say that I want to harm her? If I don't kill this person who has put the master in an unjust situation, should I keep her?"
As she spoke, Xu Ranyun burst into tears, pointing at Aunt Jiang and said, "Tell me... tell me how I have wronged you? Without me, would you be able to be my mistress? Don't you see what kind of person you are? Ever since you gave birth to Chuan Ge'er and became my aunt, I have given you things if you wanted them and people if you wanted them. I let grandma bully me, but I still protected you. Is this how you repay me now? The Zhongshan wolf is worse than you, you are an ungrateful person, worse than a beast. Now that I am down and out, you are thinking about clinging to the thighs of the new master. You... you are daydreaming. I would rather kill you than ask you to throw this person away for me..."
Su Nuannuan looked at Xu Ranyun coldly, but she was a little confused in her heart, wondering why Xu Ranyun did this? Would she rather pretend to be crazy and stupid to do this? Doesn't she know that this is useless and can only embarrass herself? Or? Does she really dare to kill Aunt Jiang? I didn't expect her to be so bold? Even if she didn't have to pay for her life because of the power of the Earl's Mansion, Duan Tingxuan could send her back to her parents' home or put her under house arrest. Why did she take this risk? Is she really crazy? I don't believe it.
"Cong'er and Xing'er, you two help your aunt to Chunfeng Garden. Rong'er, haven't you packed up all the things in your room? Go and get them out, and follow Cong'er." Su Nuannuan couldn't see through Xu Ranyun's intentions, so she simply ignored him and turned around to give orders in a deep voice. Before she finished speaking, she heard Xu Ranyun shout, "Let's see who dares to leave?"
"Let's go. Who dares to stop us?"
How could Su Nuannuan tolerate Xu Ranyun challenging her authority? She shouted. Here, Cong'er and Xing'er came forward to help Aunt Jiang up. Rong'er, Yang and two little girls also hurried into the wing room and took out a few large bundles. They came to Su Nuannuan and whispered, "Grandma, these are the things."
"Okay, let's go to Spring Breeze Garden."
Su Nuannuan gave a light order, and then several people came to Aunt Jiang, but saw that her hair was disheveled and there were even a few streaks of blood on her forehead. However, her expression was very numb. She just stared at Xu Ranyun, her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water. The anger and hatred burning in them could not be seen by anyone except Yang Shirong'er and the two who knew her temper.
"Auntie, let's go."
Yang was afraid that Aunt Jiang would not be able to bear this insult and would do something extreme. After all, Xu Ranyun was the grandmother and had once been her master. If she wanted to settle the score on impulse, it would be a violation of her superiors and would not end well. This was because the eldest grandmother, who was strong-willed and liked to stand up for the weak, could slap Xu Ranyun twice to save her face. If it were someone else, they would not even be able to save her face.
Aunt Jiang looked at Xu Ranyun deeply again, and finally turned around numbly, walking towards the door. Fengxian and others wanted to stop her, but when they saw Xing'er raise her head, the little girl stared at them sternly, so they were frightened and retracted their hands.
Xu Ranyun saw that the maids were useless and was about to go into battle herself, but Su Nuannuan grabbed her collar and pushed her, causing her to fall to the ground. Then she glanced at Fengxian Cuiping's face and said coldly, "Keep an eye on your mistress and let her reflect on herself in the house. Really, it's such a small matter, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the servants?"
"Hahaha... why should I be afraid of being laughed at? Here's a prince's wife whose family has collapsed but she still insists on being the big shot. Su Mengnuan, if you're not afraid of being laughed at, then who should I be afraid of? You can even take away this bitch next to me, you're trampling my face into the ground. Tell me, what should I be afraid of losing face for? I've already lost it all anyway."
“It’s totally unreasonable.”
Su Nuannuan was very angry, but she also knew that if she argued with Xu Ranyun at this time, it would lower her dignity, so she said something angrily and turned away.
When the servants standing outside the door saw the grandmother turn around, they scattered like birds and beasts. On the way back to Chunfeng Garden, Su Nuannuan told Yang: "Go to Chunfeng Garden later and wash up quickly to pick up Chuan Ge'er. I'm afraid he doesn't know that he will move here today."
Yang forced a smile and said, "Brother, you know, he ran around excitedly on the floor last night when we finished eating and were packing up, and he didn't fall asleep for most of the night. I wonder if he will fall asleep when he goes to school today."
Su Nuannuan pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "Yes, that little guy has been eyeing the kitchen in my courtyard for a long time. Now that he heard that he could move in, wouldn't that be what he wanted? He is exactly like me in this respect. When I was in Meiyue Tower, I always went straight to the kitchen every time I came. I always called him a rat at that time, but he didn't care."
She was talking to Yang, and Aunt Jiang was listening beside them, but she didn't say a word. After entering Chunfeng Garden, Yang hurriedly went to wash and comb her hair, and then went out to pick up Duan Maochuan from school. Rong'er, led by Honglian Xiangyun, also went to pack up their rooms. Here, Su Nuannuan called Aunt Jiang to her and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with Xu Ranyun? You want to come here, and I told her yesterday. She came back and told me that she agreed very well. Why did she become like this today? Did you say something to provoke her when you went to say goodbye to her?"
Aunt Jiang smiled bitterly and murmured, "I provoked her? Grandma thinks too highly of me. What am I? Just as she said, I am just her maid. Even if I have a child and become an aunt, I am still her maid. She can beat me or kill me if she wants. This is all reasonable."
