Capítulo 1441: Chapter 1440: Who Dares to Go Report?
As soon as Lady Qu finished speaking, Wang Yongzhu hadn’t reacted yet, but Lady Chen looked at her first.
The two families were close, and the two won were also relatives, naturally getting along closely.
Lady Chen had always taken Lady Qu’s lead, and upon hearing her words, she followed up and said, “Madam, after all, this is the Yuan Family, and they have many people. I’m afraid the people Madam brought may not be enough. The two old won by my side, not to boast, have quite a bit of strength. Let them follow along too, in case they can lend a hand if anything happens!”
This was an explicit gesture of allegiance to Lady Qu.
Most of the other ladies who ca along also had good relations with Lady Qu and Lady Chen. No one was foolish; in this situation, it seed mandatory to declare their stance.
Otherwise, with Lady Qu and Lady Chen openly supporting the Magistrate’s Lady, if their own family stood idly by, wouldn’t it be obvious and cause the Magistrate’s Lady to resent them?
No matter how long the new Lord Song might stay in Chicheng County, as long as the Magistrate’s Lady whispered into his pillow, Lord Song punishing their n would be an effortless task.
Several won showed hesitant expressions on their faces.
At this mont, Lady Yuan ca out from the house with her face covered and saw her family’s servants foolishly standing in the courtyard, allowing Wang Yongzhu to give orders here and there.
To be honest, Lady Yuan was a bit stunned!
Lady Yuan’s family had ancestors who were officials. Though they had declined, she always regarded herself as a descendant of officials.
Originally, marrying Yuan Majian was seen as marrying down, disgracing her status, and there was so self-pity in her heart.
Who would have known, though Yuan Majian did not have good family origins, he was skilled at networking. After reaching the rank of the official horse overseer, even though his official career had no upward path, he’d managed the place for ten years, and since the Horse Farm was well run and profitable, they accumulated considerable wealth.
Moreover, the Horse Farm was not under the jurisdiction of Chicheng County. So what if the previous County Magistrates’ wives were of higher rank? They still had to be polite when they t her.
Even Lady Qu and Lady Chen’s husbands were of the sa eighth rank as hers, but how could Lady Qu and Lady Chen’s backgrounds compare to hers?
So, she was extrely proud! She spoke constantly of etiquette and was quick to criticize others.
Other ladies either had lower ranks or sought her help, thus yielding to her, which made her truly believe she was the foremost lady in Chicheng County.
Being disgraced now, she was confused as she ca out.
The ladies she knew, even those she considered coarse, were polite to her. Even if it was pretentious, they would still present a civilized facade.
Even if there were conflicts between families, at most they would make a few verbal remarks, and later, send so gifts to apologize, and it would be over.
Where had she ever seen sothing like this, coming to the door just because of so idle chatter, smashing and beating?
Faced with soone who didn’t play by the rules, Lady Yuan truly had no experience.
But she couldn’t swallow this indignation!
Since they had already torn each other apart today, she didn’t care anymore, and imdiately ordered the servants in the courtyard, “Are you all dead? When the master is in trouble, you all just stand outside? Are you all dumb? Quickly go find the master! Tell him that the Magistrate’s Lady has brought people to search our house! Tell him to quickly bring people back to save us!”
The Yuan Family’s Eldest Daughter also ca out, stamping her foot and said, “Go to the front courtyard, call out Big Brother, Second Brother, and all our family mbers! Today, it’s unacceptable for the Yuan Family to be insulted like this! Surround this courtyard! If anyone dares to leave, take them down!”
The maids and old won that Wang Yongzhu brought naturally wouldn’t let these people leave after hearing this, and they all blocked the courtyard gate tightly.
For a while, the maids and old won from both sides started pulling and tugging at each other.
Lady Qu and Lady Chen got anxious; today seed unlikely to end peacefully!
If the n from the front courtyard truly ca in, they might suffer, so they quickly looked towards Wang Yongzhu.
Wang Yongzhu, after calming them with her eyes, walked out from the side room. Her eyes scanned the courtyard and saw a few small stone stools under the steps.
She walked down, kicked the stool slightly to test its weight, nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered, “All of you step aside, let’s see who dares to report!”
Old Granny Wu heard this, turned to look at the stone stool beneath Wang Yongzhu’s feet, imdiately let go, and even called Old Madam Ding and the others to retreat to the side.
The Yuan Family’s servants suddenly found themselves without opponents and were stunned.
After hearing Wang Yongzhu’s words, they all turned to look at Lady Yuan and the Yuan Family’s Eldest Daughter.
Before Lady Yuan could speak, the Yuan Family’s Eldest Daughter beca anxious: “What are you all looking at? Don’t forget who feeds you! Your life contracts are in our Yuan Family’s hands. If we want you alive, you live! If we want you dead, you die! Why are you still standing there? Go and report!”
The servants suddenly realized, hastily trying to leave.
Then Wang Yongzhu’s slow voice rang out: “I said, who dares to report?”
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, with a gentle flick of her foot, she pulled the stone bench from the soil. She stretched out her hand, her slender fingers received the stone bench, and with flair, spun it around her hand.
The stone bench looked light, but it weighed at least twenty to thirty pounds, yet Wang Yongzhu held it effortlessly with just a few fingers, as if picking up an embroidery needle.
Everyone present couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
They stared dumbfounded at the stone bench in Wang Yongzhu’s hand as she casually tossed it aside. Everyone only saw a blur, followed by a loud crash as the wall next to the courtyard gate was smashed into a large hole, bricks and debris shooting everywhere, none dared utter a sound.
They watched the stone bench roll several tis on the ground before it stopped.
Deadly silence.
That cold breath everyone took earlier remained stuck in their throats.
Wang Yongzhu looked at the hole in the wall and shook her head in regret: “Oh, my aim was off, I was aiming for the gate!”
Speaking, she excitedly flicked up another stone bench with her foot.
A servant of the Yuan Family, with a bit of courage, went weak in the knees and sat down on the ground.
Lady Yuan and Yuan Family’s Eldest Daughter’s gazes changed, staring at the big hole in the wall, unable to utter a sound from their throats.
The mother and daughter supported each other, looking at Wang Yongzhu in horror.
Wang Yongzhu smiled slightly and asked sideways, “Still want to report?”
Who would dare go? Even if one’s life was tough, it wouldn’t be tougher than that stone bench! Yuan Family servants one by one covered their heads, squatting in the corner pretending to be dead.
Only then did Wang Yongzhu command: “Go, bring Yuan Family’s Second Young Master’s concubine here! If anyone dares to stop you, don’t be polite, hit them for !”
“Yes!” Old Granny Wu and Old Madam Ding, delighted, led their people charging towards the backyard.
Lady Qu and Lady Chen’s eyes shone fearfully, looking at Wang Yongzhu with admiration and awe.
Who knew, who knew, such a graceful and gentle County Magistrate’s Lady, would have such good skills?
Previously, looking at Wang Yongzhu, they only felt she was gentle and kind, mostly filled with affection and sympathy.
But until just now, the two truly respected and feared Wang Yongzhu.
The other won were also bright-eyed, no longer caring about Lady Yuan, all gathered around Wang Yongzhu talking.
Seeing everyone surrounding Wang Yongzhu, Lady Yuan quickly gave Yuan Family’s Eldest Daughter a look, signaling her to take advantage of Wang Yongzhu being blocked, quickly slip out to seek help.
Yuan Family’s Eldest Daughter gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt, only took two steps when she heard a whoosh, and then a stone bench descended from the sky, landing steadily a step ahead of her.
If she had been a bit faster, the stone bench might have landed on her head.
Yuan Family’s Eldest Daughter looked at the stone bench, then turned her head, t Wang Yongzhu’s gaze, her eyelids flipped, fainted on the spot.
Lady Yuan then ca to her senses, rushing over desperately, hugged Yuan Family’s Eldest Daughter, crying out “my child, my precious” in distress.
Over there, with Lady Qu and Lady Chen’s maids leading the way, they quickly arrived at Yuan Family’s Second Young Master’s room.
Because Yuan Family’s Second Young Master was studying, his courtyard was slightly remote.
Early in the morning, as usual, Hongxiu Tianxiang accompanying, reading was a joy.
Holding the beloved concubine and reading a few volus of books for a while, holding her hand teaching calligraphy, truly a chamber joy, indescribable to outsiders.
This morning, just as he embraced the beauty in his arms, sitting on his lap, about to indulge a mont, he heard a loud crash at the courtyard gate. Yuan Family’s Second Young Master’s hand shook, causing the beauty in his arms to be tossed out, landing perfectly.
The beauty wouldn’t comply, covering her waist crying, truly like pear blossoms in rain, as delicate as a white lotus.
Yuan Family’s Second Young Master imdiately felt another wave of heat in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward to help the beauty up, ready to comfort her a few words.
The study room door was kicked open, a group of maidservants like wolves and tigers surged in.
Without asking, they headed straight for the beauty.
Especially the leading maid, she was exceptionally rude, grabbed the beauty’s hair, dragging her out like a dead dog.
