Chapter 84: Chirping
Jiang, who was in the room, heard the fierce noise outside and was about to get up when she was held down by Yuan's mother.
"Madam, I will go and see what is going on." After saying this, Mother Yuan turned around and walked to the gate. She saw that the guards she brought with her had already drawn their swords and were pointing them at the group of people who were coming aggressively.
She walked to the corridor and asked, "Who are you? Who allowed you to break in here without permission?"
Wu Lao Er stared coldly at the old woman and said, "Call Jiang out!"
"Who are you?" As the head of Jiang's household, Mother Yuan naturally had the aura of a head mother. She looked at the group of people in front of her and didn't think they were Wu Dawei's accomplices. "This is the manor of the mistress of the Yongyi Marquis's manor. If you want to cause trouble, you should understand the situation clearly!"
The curve of Wu Lao Er's mouth was tinged with a deeper coldness: "It really is the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion. They really are making fun of us brothers."
When Mother Yuan heard the word "brothers", her expression changed slightly, and she could vaguely guess the identities of the people in front of her.
"Are you..." Mother Yuan asked in a tentative tone, "Are you from Wanmiao Village?"
Xueqing hurried out and whispered to Mother Yuan, "Mother Yuan, they asked to see Madam by name. I guess there's something going on."
Xueqing also understood Shangguan Yao's intention. It would be better if nothing happened at this time. These people came to find Jiang, so why not let Jiang come forward? Why is this old hag complaining so much?
Mother Yuan glanced at Xueqing and her heart tightened. It was obvious that this group of people had bad intentions.
"Who are you?" Mother Yuan's attitude became more positive. She stared at Wu Lao Er and said, "If you have anything, I can tell Madam."
Wu Lao Er simply disdained the behavior of these wealthy and powerful people and said, "Stop talking nonsense. The Jiang family is one of them, right?"
Mother Yuan hadn't spoken yet, but her expression changed slightly. If this group of people in the courtyard were related to Wu Dawei, then why did they come to her in such a threatening manner?
"What is your relationship with Manager Wu Dawei?" asked Mother Yuan.
When Wu Laoer heard Mother Yuan talking about his brother, his face darkened and he walked straight towards the main house.
Mother Yuan and Xueqing watched Wu Laoer leading the charge into the main house and immediately stood at the door.
"What are you going to do!"
"What are you going to do!"
Wu Lao Er was already tall and strong, and the three or four guards that Jiang brought with him only had some mediocre skills, so they were useless when a group of people rushed in.
Mother Yuan and Xueqing were pushed hard by Old Second Wu and fell directly into the room.
Jiang and Shangguan Yao looked at the scene in front of them and immediately stood up.
Jiang stared coldly at the leading man: "Did Wu Dawei send you here?"
"You know everything." Wu Lao Er disliked calculating women the most, especially those who calculated on him: "My brother is easy to talk to and loyal, I won't be fooled by you!"
"What did I trick you into doing?" Jiang was also confused. She asked coldly, "I agreed to all the conditions that Wu Shishi proposed. What else does he want? Did I write those documents?"
At this time, Mother Yuan and Xueqing stood up and walked to their respective masters.
"Those documents were indeed written by my brother, but my brother didn't know that the Xie family had already given Wanmiao Village to you." Wu Laoer walked into the house.
When she wanted to walk up to Jiang to confront her, Mother Yuan immediately stood in front of Jiang.
After hearing what Wu Laoer said, Jiang's face began to look unnatural. She certainly knew that Wu Dawei and his group had different feelings and possessiveness towards Wanmiao Village.
She also knew that if she told Wu Dawei the truth from the beginning, she would never be able to leave Wanmiao Village.
After she understood the situation in Wanmiao Village, she also reached an agreement with Wu Dawei.
She made Wu Dawei think that she was the manager sent by the Xie family, and made Wu Dawei think that she was secretly conspiring with Wu Dawei to embezzle the Xie family's money in order to take advantage of the profits of Wanmiao Village.
This guy can only become friends when we have common interests.
Once the other party realizes that the benefits are no longer proportional, they will inevitably become enemies.
What's more, the Xie family no longer wanted Wanmiao Village, so it was given to the in-laws that the Xie family had just formed.
"Are you making fun of us?" Wu Lao Er pulled out a dagger from his waist and threw it on the pear blossom round table, threatening: "Either you write a document now and hand over Wanmiao Village to us and the land deeds, or you will never leave Wanmiao Village alive!"
Jiang's heart tightened. Although her heart was already surging, she still asked calmly, "Who told you that the Xie family handed Wanmiao Village over to me to manage?"
Naturally, Jiang would not admit it at this time.
"Have the Xie family gone mad? Giving me such a lucrative place?" After saying this, Jiang calmed down completely. "Don't let yourself be used. The Xie family won't give Wanmiao Village to me."
Wu Lao Er sneered: "I am not my brother. Since you said that the Xie family did not give Wanmiao Village to you, then return the 50,000 taels of silver notes you took from my brother. You are not a steward who came to Wanmiao Village. It is not good to eat and take things, Madam Yongyi Marquis?"
Jiang glanced at the dagger on the pear blossom round table and knew that she had to stabilize Wu Lao Er at this moment.
She asked again: "Who told you that the Xie family gave Wanmiao Village to me?"
Seeing that Jiang was still treating him like a monkey, Wu Laoer pushed Yuan Mama away and grabbed Jiang's neck.
Mother Yuan fell to the ground and exclaimed, "Madam!"
Shangguan Yao, who was standing by, saw this and her expression changed: "Mother!"
Xueqing was afraid that these people would attack her master, so she stood in front of Shangguan Yao.
Jiang was grabbed by the throat by Wu Lao Er, her eyes filled with fear: "You, what are you going to do? I, I am the mistress of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion..."
"The Xie family sent someone to take away the account books for the medicinal herbs sold in Wanmiao Village last year. Do you know what they did with the books?" Wu Laoer looked at the pale-faced woman in front of him, his voice filled with anger. "The Xie family said that after comparing the customer sources in the account books, they will send someone to tell those customers that from now on, the medicinal herbs in Wanmiao Village will no longer be named Xie, but Qin. If there are any problems, they can tell the customers to come to your Qin family instead of the Xie family."
Jiang's pupils shrank. She never expected that the Xie family would get rid of Wanmiao Village in such a short time.
"And you, knowing the truth, feigned ignorance and came to Wanmiao Village, claiming to be the steward sent by the Xie family." Wu Lao Er's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "So, knowing our brothers' evil ambitions, are you planning to drive us out of Wanmiao Village?"
Jiang felt the hand that was pinching her throat getting stronger and stronger, and she struggled and slapped Wu Laoer's arm.
She said hurriedly: "You, you misunderstood, misunderstood..."
