The guard didn't move, as if he didn't even hear him.
Wei Yi became even angrier, but when he saw the embroidered spring knife in the guard's hand, he didn't dare to really fight with him.
Yi Ning felt that the sun had dried up enough. Steward Li's cheeks were also swollen. She said, "How can we let my aunt and cousin bask in the sun outside? This is not the right way to treat guests. Chen Lian, let them in." Her voice was clear and calm, but only faintly heard.
Chen Lian was the leader of the guards who stopped them, and he respectfully stepped aside when he heard Yining's voice.
Xu's maid wiped her sweat with a towel as she walked in with a sullen face. As soon as she entered, she saw Li Guanshi, who was pinned to the ground with a stick. When Li Guanshi saw her, it was as if he had seen a savior. His eyes lit up and he sobbed excitedly, "Madam, you are finally here!"
Xu sat down. She had been fuming outside just now, and now she looked at Yi Ning coldly: "I didn't know that this is how the young lady respects her elders?"
"What are you talking about? I was so busy asking him that I didn't hear you were here." Yining just smiled and comforted her. It was really indifferent and he didn't take her seriously at all.
Xu's mouth was dry, and no one had brought her tea. She clutched the armrests of the imperial chair, too angry to speak.
At this time, a voice sounded at the door: "Yining, what are you doing?"
Old Madam Wei was feeling unwell, and this time, Wei Yi had asked her to come out. Fang Song and Mother Song supported her. Seeing so many people outside, the old lady went straight inside and was helped to sit down, still gasping for breath.
Yi Ning then walked up to her and bowed, "The housekeeper is ignorant. Yi Ning is teaching him a lesson. He disturbed my peace."
"What do you mean by 'ignorant'?" Mrs. Xu slammed the table and stood up, sneering, "Every word that Steward Li said was reasonable. You just beat him up like this to embarrass me. What do you, a little girl, know about stewardship? Today, you insisted that Steward Li explain everything clearly. Tell me, how did she treat you?"
When Steward Li saw the long stick in the guard's hand, he thought of Qingqu's slaps and what the young lady had said... She wanted to kick him out of the house! He immediately kowtowed to Old Madam Wei and said, "Old Madam, it was Madam Wei who said she wanted to raise the rent, so she sent me over to give the order! Madam Wei... Please explain clearly to the young lady and old madam that this is none of my business."
Mrs. Xu was completely dumbfounded when she heard this. "You're such a liar! This rent increase was clearly... clearly something you said! How can you say it was me?"
Steward Li kowtowed again: "Madam, you really said it yourself, you have to admit it!"
Old Madam Wei looked at Xu helplessly. Why was Xu always so messy in her work? "Yining, what's going on?"
I saw Yining finally stand up.
