Chapter 417: Few People in the Mansion
"Fatty, come here." Madam Zhan brought Ye Qianning to her side.
Zhan Yi walked over and touched the little girl's head: "Grandpa is here, don't be afraid."
Zhan Chi stood with his hands behind his back and stared at Zuo Jiang with calm eyes. His meaning was very clear: If you scare the child, I will teach you a lesson.
General Zuo glanced at him several times. Why was the Xiang family's child so anxious to kill the other family?
If you don’t know, you would think this is the Zhan family!
Soon, all the servants and maids in the mansion were called to the front yard.
"It's the middle of the night and you're not going to let me sleep."
"Tsk, don't talk. If they hear you, they might cause trouble."
"Looking for trouble? Our house is the general's mansion, we can search it if we want. Are you looking for trouble because you think your life is too long?"
"If you take advantage of the general's absence to cause trouble for his family, the rumor will get out and it will be a slap in the face of the royal family."
"Who says it isn't?"
The concubines arrived before the voices, and Zuo Jiang's face twisted when he heard it.
General Zuo clenched the long sword in his hand. His teacher had some conflicts with Xiang Minghou, and he did have some selfish motives in accepting the order to search. He wanted to give the general's mansion a warning and vent his anger on his teacher.
It would be fine if his family members were involved in the execution, but the concubine in the general's mansion doesn't sound like a pushover either.
As the voice fell, a group of colorful concubines appeared in everyone's sight.
"General Zuo, there are only so many people in the East and West Courtyards." More than ten guards surrounded a few people.
General Zuo took a few glances and frowned slightly: "How many people are there in such a big general's mansion?"
He remembered that the general had at least a hundred men under his command, so why were there only thirty or forty of them now?
"Something happened in the General's Mansion recently, so we have to save money and dismiss a lot of people." Zhan Yi looked at the scattered group of people. His wife had long wanted to add some maids to the General's Mansion, but his granddaughter refused to let her.
Don’t be fooled by the small number of people here, most of them are masters.
Aunt Guang is eight years old...
Ye Qianning saw that there were too many people gathered together.
Ever since the old lady and the second wife of the Xiang family were punished, she dismissed all the maids and servants in the mansion and arranged new ones to enter.
Currently, there are four people in the kitchen of the mansion, eight guards, seven servants, seven maids, and three people in charge of the concubine's courtyard, who are responsible for daily cleaning.
Originally, Ye Qianning arranged a maid for each of the concubine's courtyards, but the concubine found it too noisy, so she kept three.
General Zuo also knew about what happened in the Xiang family before, but he didn't say much. His eyes wandered over everyone. When he saw the concubine, he looked at her several times. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they were both military generals, but her mansion was so colorful.
Each of them is more beautiful than the girls in the brothel. Marquis Xiang Ming really knows how to enjoy himself.
Madam Zhan was very attentive. As soon as the concubines entered the front yard, she noticed that there was one more person and she stared at the extra woman for a long time.
"Cough!" Zhan Yi coughed violently.
General Zuo hastily averted his gaze, put his hand to his mouth and coughed softly: "Is everyone here?"
"It seems they are all here." Zhan Yi said.
General Zuo walked over and looked around at several servants, then the maids, and finally the guards.
The eight guards stood straight.
Ye Qianning's gaze fell on one of the unfamiliar faces. Although his expression was stern, the murderous aura in his body was completely suppressed.
The other party seemed to notice Ye Qianning's gaze and turned around with murderous intent in an instant.
It was at this moment that General Zuo caught the sight of the figure that had passed by and then retreated again.
Ye Qianning looked at him with mockery, "Idiot."
Zhan Chi's face darkened. These people are more likely to cause trouble than to help. The guards of Xiyan don't even have the most basic self-control?
