Bai Zhiyue sat in the yard holding Doudou, looking at the indentures one by one.
"Madam, everyone is here except Yan Dong who is with the Marquis."
She nodded.
"Home-born children, come out and stand on the left!"
Most of the people stood up in Hulala, and only about twenty people were left in the yard.
"Those who have lived in Fuchu for more than six years should stand on the right."
There are only eleven people left in the House of Commons.
"Doudou, try to find the hidden person."
"Okay, I can sense that some of them are very flustered. There must be something wrong."
"I found it. It's the one who looks like he has a hunched back and his head is lowered very low."
Bai Zhiyue pointed at the man and said
"Butler Su, what's his name and what's his position in the mansion?"
"Madam, his name is Lu Heizi. Because of his unusual appearance, he was hired to sell night-blowing incense after he was bought. He has been doing this for over two years."
"Oh, you look different? Lu Heizi, raise your head and let me see what you are afraid to show others!"
"I'm so ugly I'm afraid I'll scare Madam!"
Bai Zhiyue handed Doudou to Qinglian, motioned her to enter the room, and walked up to him with a dagger in her hand.
"I have always been very courageous. I am not afraid of any demons or monsters, let alone a mortal like you."
When he was still two steps away from the person, he suddenly jumped up and struck her heart with the dagger in his hand.
"Oh, you can't pretend anymore!"
"Madam~"
"Stay away. Don't blame me if you get caught and die!"
A large circle immediately formed around the two of them, and sparks flew as the daggers collided with the short swords.
"He's actually a master. It's a waste to keep him in the mansion to vent night incense."
"Madam is not simple either. She was able to catch my dagger with her strength alone without any internal energy!"
"Oh, not only can I catch it, I can also fight back! You are a member of the Rong family, or a descendant of the previous dynasty, right? Don't you feel wronged that such a person works for the Rong family?"
"Humph, how can you understand the thoughts of those of us who have great ambitions?"
"How ridiculous! I don't understand your stupid thoughts, but if you want to harm my son, you can't leave alive."
Bai Zhiyue increased her speed and beat him so hard that he was in a mess and had no idea what to do. Although she couldn't compare to her heyday, she was no longer as weak as she was at the beginning. She found an opportunity and stabbed his ribs with the dagger, causing him to lose his breath in pain.
Just as he was about to stab with his dagger, she turned, lowered her body, pulled out her dagger, and stabbed him in the thigh again.
"Woo~"
After being stabbed twice, he knew he was no longer able to fight and wanted to fly away.
The moment he stood up, Bai Zhiyue jumped up and kicked down with her long legs, hitting him in the shoulder and knocking him back to the ground with a bang. The floor tile under his feet broke into two pieces.
Everyone clearly heard a snapping sound, and the shoulder must have been broken. Everyone felt sorry for him.
At this time, he had almost no ability to fight back, but Bai Zhiyue did not let him die. She stabbed him with her knife again and again.
At first he raised his hands to block it, but later he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands. He fell in a pool of blood, still breathing.
Bai Zhiyue glanced at the servants around her
"I don't care who else among you sent here. If I discover you have ulterior motives, this is the result."
"The servants dare not. We are all loyal to the Marquis' Mansion and have no second thoughts."
"Butler Su, we don't have enough manpower in our house. Please sell some of them. I also hope that all the stewards will fulfill their responsibilities and do their jobs well."
"Yes, I will follow your orders, Madam."
Before leaving, he finally stepped on the man's throat to give him a quick death.
"Carrying people away and throwing them into mass graves"
"yes"
When I returned to the yard, the birds, mice and red swallows all came over.
"Woman, you are so handsome. This is what a master should look like. I made the right choice by choosing you."
"Yueyue, I didn't expect you to be so strong. You're a real heroine. I admire you. I thought you were only good with that gun."
It was scared to death at first.
"Mother is mighty, mother is the best!"
All the flattery made Bai Zhiyue, who had always been at the top of the rankings, blush.
"I just wanted to avenge Doudou. I can't fight the Rong family like this, so I can only take it out on him."
"From now on, no one in the mansion will dare to disobey mother."
"I don't need them to be loyal. As long as they do what they are supposed to do and don't be disloyal, that's enough."
After that, the entire mansion operated in a more orderly manner, and there were fewer idle people.
Every day, a small team of people would report what was happening, and everything was under her control.
"Eat melon, eat melon. Su Chen is secretly looking for the doctor who provided you with the magic medicine!"
"How do you say that?"
[I must find that miracle doctor and get the miracle medicine from him. I must bring it back no matter how much it costs. I must break the rumor that I can't have children!
After this is accomplished, I will remove your entire family from slavery. I heard your son is very motivated in his studies and is a promising young man. Once this is done, you can send him to the Su family school. If he proves to be a successful person, I will guarantee him and give him a bright future.
Thank you, Lord Marquis. We are willing to go through fire and water for you and will definitely bring you good news.
【Well, go ahead. I'll wait for your good news.】
"The doctor before told him there was no hope, but he still refused to give up."
"He gave all the cash he had to Su Gu, and also added the money the old lady left behind, totaling 330,000 taels. He only kept about 10,000 taels for daily expenses. This time he really invested a lot."
"Mother, it's over 300,000 taels. Everyone says the Marquis' Mansion is broke, but it's true that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. They can still come up with over 300,000 taels."
"The Bai family has given a lot over the years, and the expenses in recent years have all been paid from the original owner, plus the interest given by the court every year. It's not surprising that they can save this much."
"Did Mother really let him take all the money to buy that magical medicine that can't possibly work?"
"Has Congcong Su Gu left?"
"Just left"
"Go follow him and see where he stays at night. We can rob him at night."
"Okay, okay. He can't go far at this hour. It won't take him long to go back and forth."
Bai Zhiyue never touched the property in the mansion. Firstly, she felt that the mansion would belong to her and her son in the future. Secondly, she felt that Su Chen had only lived for a short time and would eventually belong to her. So she only took back part of the original owner's dowry and waited to deal with him.
But this person actually wants to use all his savings to buy fertility medicine which is useless. I absolutely cannot allow that.
Everything the Marquis owns belongs to her and her son, and no one is allowed to touch it. She is so domineering.
"Qinglian, go and bring Chiyan to the yard."
"Yes, ma'am."
It's also strange. Ever since Chiyan became the lady's mount, he would get angry if he didn't enter the lady's yard for two days. When he saw the lady, he would act like a gangster and meet the white moonlight in his heart, and become very gentle and obedient.
The birds that came before also came to Madam every day, and even the mouse holes in the yard, Madam put food at the hole entrance every day. Every time the mice came out to eat, they were not afraid of people at all, and they squeaked and called out to Madam while eating.
They weren't shouting, they were just chatting.
