Chapter 40: Trouble

After hearing this, the Fifth Old Lady also felt that it made a lot of sense.

So he slammed the table, stood up and spoke to his children and grandchildren.

"That's right! It's not good that people from our fifth house have died while those from the East Garden are still sleeping soundly! Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, he walked out of the door in a majestic manner.

Following closely behind him were Shang Yu'an, Shang Wulang, father and son, and their wives.

However, Shang Yuding laughed when he saw his mother and his brother's family hurriedly leaving the yard.

There was a hint of disgust and unwillingness in the smile.

Then he turned around and glared at his wife, Mrs. Guo. The fierceness in his eyes made Mrs. Guo shudder and take two steps back in fear.

However, there was no one else in the room except the two of them, so there was no one to turn to for help even if she wanted to.

With a deathly pale face, Guo had no choice but to follow her husband and leave the main house of Yingjuan Courtyard.

Soon there were crackling sounds of smashing and Guo's wailing and cries for help.

But everyone in Yingjuan Court seemed to be used to it and were very indifferent to the voice.

After all, she had no sons but three daughters, which was a big taboo for her.

It's good enough that she can still survive and live a good life in the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, it didn't seem to be a big deal if my husband hit me or scolded me occasionally.

Here, the conflicts among the five rooms have only revealed the tip of the iceberg.

On the other side, the three generations of the fifth house, along with their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, along with a number of servants and the body of the second steward Qi, rushed towards the East Garden in a menacing manner.

With that attitude, no one would believe him if he said he wasn't going to cause trouble.

Wherever the huge group of people went, all the insects, fish, birds and animals had to avoid them.

After passing through several moon gates and small paths, they all stood in front of the East Garden gate in about a quarter of an hour.

Although the Fifth Old Lady is old, no one can compete with her when she causes trouble in the backyard.

She just shouted towards the inside with great force.

"Where is Liu Lang's wife? Call her out! Her husband has beaten someone to death, but she is still sleeping soundly in there? Isn't she afraid that the heaven will be displeased and send down a thunderbolt to kill her! This will also save the good reputation of this family in Dongyuan that kills husbands and wives!"

She always speaks in a very unpleasant way.

Anyway, her husband has been sent to guard the mausoleum, so she has nothing to worry about. The worst that can happen is that she has to risk her life to earn a future for her grandson.

Therefore, there is no mercy at all.

The two servants guarding the East Garden gate didn't show much expression on their faces, but there was a hint of life in their eyes.

Soon, Uncle He, who was in charge, came out with more than ten servants who worked in the East Garden.

Although he had a smile on his face, he was already filled with fear and hostility in his heart.

The servants following behind him also had serious expressions.

Each of them has some martial arts skills, so of course they are not afraid of the weaklings brought by the fifth room.

As soon as Butler He showed up, many of the servants from the fifth room retreated a little.

Since Madam Wei took charge of the household affairs, Steward He stepped down from his previous position as the chief steward in charge of all the servants in the household.

But this does not mean that his former power has disappeared completely.

Although they seldom came into contact with the people and things in Dongyuan on weekdays, they were still somewhat frightened when they saw the former general manager.

The Fifth Old Lady felt a little nervous when she saw the servants around her retreating, but she couldn't let anyone see that since she had said so much.

So he deliberately raised his voice and spoke in a desperate tone.

"Hey, what's the point of sending a guard dog? The one we want to see is Liu Lang's wife, Mrs. Du!"

Hearing this, Butler He smiled even more brightly.

He hurriedly spoke in a roundabout way.

"What happened? Why is the Fifth Elder Madam so angry? Why is she so angry so early in the morning? My young mistress hasn't even gotten up yet. If her sweet dream is disturbed, the general will find fault with us servants when he comes back. I beg the Fifth Elder Madam to show some mercy and leave a way out for us servants."

It sounded like Butler He was begging the Fifth Elder Madam to show some mercy, but in reality he was warning the group of people who followed him.

In the past, when they made trouble, it was somewhat better.

After all, everyone in the house can see clearly what Mrs. Wei is thinking.

But now it's different.

The general is back, and he is still powerful and influential, with his hands reaching all the way to the sky.

If there really was trouble, the first ones to suffer would probably be the servants who followed them.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

For a moment, everyone couldn't help swallowing.

He was so scared that his legs went limp and he dared not make any more noise.

Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang, father and son, looked at each other and felt a little wary.

They came to cause trouble today just to get something, such as Shang Wulang's job.

But what Butler He said was right. If Shang Ji was really pissed off and other troubles arose, wouldn't it be more trouble than gain? So Shang Wulang stepped forward and pulled on his grandmother's sleeve, saying comfortingly.

"Grandma, calm down. We are only here to ask my brother and sister-in-law about something. We don't want people to think we are here to cause trouble, right?"

The fifth old lady looked back at her grandson, and when she saw him shake his head slightly, her anger subsided a lot, so she snorted coldly and said.

"It's already so late, Liu Lang's wife still hasn't gotten up? Send someone to call her, we'll wait! I'm not going to leave until I see her today. If she's not afraid of being branded as a mean elder who persecutes her servants, she can just hide and die."

Butler He had worked with Madam Gu in managing the household for many years, so he naturally knew what kind of people the people in the fifth room were.

Just as I was about to reply, I saw someone coming from behind.

Nanny Dou walked over with a serious expression, bowed simply to the fifth old lady, and then said.

"Young Madam heard that someone from the Fifth House had come, so she asked me to invite you to wait in the flower hall. She will come and talk to you in person in a moment."

Butler He frowned when he heard this.

These people are not easy to deal with, even though the young lady has been in the mansion for three years.

But on weekdays, I don’t have much contact with the third and fifth rooms of Beiyuan. I’m afraid it’s easier to invite the gods than to send them away.

But seeing that Madam Dou was not afraid of danger, his worries were slightly reduced.

So, after struggling for a moment, he said something to the people in Room 5.

"please."

The fifth old lady acted politely, thinking that she, as a mere woman, could not be frightened.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lang's wife was a coward, so she hummed and entered the gate of Dongyuan.

Following behind him were naturally Shang Yu'an, Shang Wulang, father and son, and their families.

Although Wulang's wife's pregnancy is not obvious yet, everyone in the Duke's Mansion knows about it.

In case something went wrong, she could still use the stomachache as an excuse to get the whole family out, so naturally she had to go in with them.
