There are so many exciting things to see in Prince Yu’s Mansion, how can Leng Xi be missing?
At noon, he came to Prince Yu's Mansion wearing a dark red gown, waving a folding fan, with a relaxed look on his face.
Seeing his attire and his fake smile, Agang, who was guarding the door, suddenly felt a little displeased.
How could he be here to offer condolences? He was clearly here to watch the fun.
The moment he stepped through the gate, Ah Gang stepped forward and reminded him:
"Prince Xi, Prince Yu's Mansion has a rule that condolences can only be paid in the morning. It's already noon, which is unlucky. Please come back tomorrow!"
Leng Xi looked at him coldly. He had already made up his mind before coming. Over the years, he came to Prince Yu's Mansion and kept putting on a smile, trying to get close to them. In the end, Leng Yu still had a cold face when facing him.
If that's the case, why bother trying to put his warm face on someone else's cold butt? Besides, in ten days, he will face Leng Yu face to face. What's the point of pretending any longer?
Anyway, he came here just to watch the fun this time. He just wanted to let people know that someone had died in Prince Yu's mansion, and Leng Xi was very happy.
Thinking of this, he put away the folding fan in his hand, pointed to the sky, and squinted exaggeratedly:
"Although it's noon, it's not even past noon yet, so it should be considered morning. I've taken some time out of my busy schedule to pay my respects to a servant in your Prince Yu's mansion. This is to give your Prince Yu face. Logically, your Prince Yu should come out and greet him with a smile. Why would a steward like you have the right to yell at him?"
Ah Gang found his words unpleasant, so he suppressed his anger and tried to dissuade him again:
"Prince Yu is not here, so we cannot welcome you in. Please go back."
"What do you mean?"
Leng Xi half-closed his eyes and looked at him, roaring angrily,
"How dare you, a guard dog, come to control this prince? You are really bored. The servants of Prince Yu's Mansion really lack discipline. Get out of here."
At this moment, Luo Lan, who had just come out of the backyard, saw this scene and immediately walked over in anger, raised his chin, and retorted:
"Agang, Prince Xi said you were the guard dog. Didn't you hear that? But I'm curious. If you were a dog, and Prince Xi could understand you, then he... is no different from a dog."
"you……"
Leng Xi saw that it was Luo Lan, and pointed at her angrily, then put his finger down, holding the fan, and raised his head in disdain:
"Princess Yu, I'm here to mourn the death of the two generals, out of respect for Prince Yu. But you, the steward of Prince Yu's mansion, are so blind that you won't let me in. You can't just sit back and watch this happen."
Luo Lan knew that Leng Xi's visit was not out of good intentions.
She squinted at him, took two steps forward, and scolded Agang:
"Agang, this is your fault. Prince Xi came to offer his condolences, and we should be grateful. How could you refuse him entry? Those who know would say that our Prince Yu's Mansion has many rules and doesn't allow unlucky people to enter. Those who don't would think that we don't know etiquette."
"you……"
Luo Lan's words seemed to be criticizing Agang, but Leng Xi could tell that she was cursing her own bad luck.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, pretended to be indifferent, and smiled:
"Princess Yu really has a hidden knife in her words, but I don't mind. Since I'm here today, there's no reason not to enter the palace."
As he was about to force his way in, Luo Lan glanced at the sun in the sky, frowned, and ordered A Gang:
"Agang, it's past noon. Anyone coming to pay their respects will be refused admission. The door is closed."
It was obvious that Luo Lan wanted to lock Leng Xi outside the door and didn't want him to come in.
Seeing this, Ah Gang stepped forward and extended his hand:
"Lord Xi, please go back and come back tomorrow."
Was turned away before even entering?
How could Leng Xi swallow this? Besides, he came here today to pick a fight, so there was no reason to back down halfway.
So, he picked up his fan, patted Ah Gang on the shoulder, and said angrily:
"Get out of here! I'm going in today. What can you do to me?"
Seeing that he wanted to force his way in, Ah Gang clasped his fists towards Luo Lan and said:
"Princess, someone violated the rules of Prince Yu's Mansion today. I am going to exercise the little power I have. If I have been disrespectful, I will apologize to you and the prince later."
After saying this, he threw a punch, and with a "bang", he hit Leng Xi in the face.
Leng Xi was caught off guard and was knocked off balance by A Gang, with blood instantly flowing from the corner of his mouth.
He never expected that a housekeeper would dare to hit him.
He raised his finger and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He squinted at Ah Gang and roared to the people outside:
"Are you blind? Didn't you see the master being beaten?"
Seeing that the people from Prince Xi's Mansion were about to rush in, the soldiers guarding the gate simply closed the door. Leng Xi was locked inside the door, and the group of people were locked outside.
Listening to the constant knocks on the door, Luo Lan looked at Leng Xi and reminded him solemnly:
"Prince Xi, Eunuch Liu came to offer condolences on behalf of the Emperor this morning. He has already acknowledged the fact that the twins are Leng Yu's sworn brothers. Yet, you dared to cause trouble while his coffin was still lying in state. This shows that you not only despise Prince Yu's mansion, but also disrespect the deceased. In that case, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying this, she turned around and shouted to the people in the yard:
"Come here, grab your weapons, arrest the person who broke into Prince Yu's mansion and committed evil, and bring him before the Emperor to face charges."
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of servants rushed over with sticks in their hands. They stood behind Luo Lan, each of them looking ferocious.
Although Leng Xi was not afraid of these servants, he realized that today's incident was a bit too serious.
