Capítulo 872: Chapter 663: Standing Firm for Once
The guards, nannies, and maids who went there arrogantly and acting like they had snouts in the air were furious at the words of the country bumpkin Hongji, who dared to speak such words, making them glare angrily.
They have the backing of the Pri Minister’s Mansion, and even though they are servants, serving high-ranking officials makes them exceedingly cocky. Who wouldn’t nod and bow to flatter them when they see them?
This country bumpkin dares to speak to them in such a manner. Is he courting death? Is his whole family courting death?
Then, the guards, old won, and maids started criticizing Hongji loudly, regardless of the fact that the host was entertaining them!
In their eyes, the other party was just a small figure who should kneel when he saw them!
“Country bumpkin, just a country bumpkin like you, dare to speak to us like this, dare to talk about our madam like that, what status does our madam have? What status do you have?”
“Tsk tsk, just an illegitimate son, raised in the countryside, thinking that earning a bit of money makes you impressive. Do you think your little household can afford this big mansion?”
“Yeah, this country bumpkin is too arrogant. We need to inform the Pri Minister to teach him a lesson. Does he think that living here gives him backing? Your cheap old daddy is far, far away!”
Hongji raised his eyebrow. These high-nosed servants, other people’s dogs, even if I am a country bumpkin, my status is not that of a servant.
Buying this mansion was so cheap indeed—a huge bargain—but it was taken by him when he didn’t even know it was a relative’s. It wasn’t like he acknowledged the relatives before transferring the property. What’s he lacking compared to these people?
Hongji has t all sorts of people over the years, including those who relied on their masters to act recklessly, but it’s the first ti he’s seen people being so arrogant and aggressive in front of the host. They really have the face!
With scornful eyes, he watched these people let them perform their spectacle, and let the outsiders see this group make a scene at his doorstep in the bitter cold, letting the bystanders see that this is how educated the servants from the Pri Minister’s Mansion are!
Mrs. Li’s face was flushing red, but since her husband was here, and this was the Capital City, she chose to remain silent amidst the prying eyes, not out of weakness. Sotis, showing weakness is also a form of self-protection!
Watching these people curse with glee, as the owners, being bullied, sparked discussions among onlookers, and public opinion was still leaning towards their side!
Helplessly, these people ca to bully them, yet so righteously. Coming to stay at their house even, still acting like they did them a favor, they, from the countryside, really broadened their horizons. Even villagers don’t have such a big face!
The Old Master and Madam didn’t speak. Standing behind them, the maids and guards clenched their fists. Since the masters didn’t speak, they didn’t step forward to confront on their own.
Acting like dogs, barking at soone else’s doorstep, disgracing the owner’s face, educated people won’t stoop to a dog’s level!
Wait, dogs are at least loyal, dogs are more polite than them, they’re not even as good as pigs and dogs!
The people from the Pri Minister’s Mansion continued to hurl insults and disdain, thinking the fiercer they curse, the more imposing they are. Almost drawing swords, faces red, necks thick, fierce deanor!
For those appearing in front of them, supposedly the owners, they dared not make a sound, thinking they were easy targets, cursing even more brutally!
Completely ignoring the pointing and gossiping around, ignoring the contemptuous public opinion of the surroundings!
Thinking they had the upper hand, venting for the Old Lady, showing their might!
Yet little did they know, their actions provided more gossip for people hiding in warm blankets in the cold winter!
The households surrounding the Ye Residence were all of nobility, and in the cold weather, there were also small vendors selling by the roadside not far away!
The Ye Residence had been under observation recently, attracting much attention, even from the upper echelons. In a short ti, guests arrived at the Ye Residence’s front door to cause trouble, smacking the hosts in the face!
This owner was supposedly involved in house fighting and was intertwined with other issues.
What excitent, eager to know the follow-up!
As those people continued swaggering and cursing at the door, Hongji originally wanted to let them continue, but felt it wasn’t good for them to be gathered around like monkeys, being uncivil doesn’t an they should be too!
Standing at the door felt quite cold, so he said expressionlessly, “You brought the Old Lady back, right? In this cold weather, aren’t you going to escort the Old Lady into the mansion? Oh, perhaps you want to head to the Pri Minister’s Mansion? The Old Lady hasn’t returned to her maiden ho for many years, wanting to stay there first is also right.”
Hongji’s implication was clear—isn’t it tiring to travel long distances and then chatter here? Isn’t it cold outside? You don’t want face but we do; we politely invite you in, and you shouldn’t be too courteous. After decades, you should return to your maiden ho; don’t lose your sanity here.
Hongji was indeed curious about the Old Lady silent in the carriage. With such noise outside for so long, couldn’t she make any sound?
Hongji’s words reminded the still-cursing, clamoring guards, maids, and old won that they had forgotten the Old Lady was still in the carriage. They indeed needed to settle down, rest, and then later clean up the ss for the Old Lady and reclaim this luxurious mansion.
“Hmph, do you have the right to comnt on the Old Lady’s matters? Bring out a soft sedan chair. Have no sense? What kind of breed are you born from?”
An old woman with a fierce triangular-eyed look spat out words with saliva spraying, making her actions sowhat disgusting!
Mrs. Li… you’re the kind of thing a dog gives birth to. No, maybe a rat gives birth to!
Hongji… your whole family is filled with things!
He signaled to the guards behind him. If they didn’t even have the strength to walk a bit, it seed like they were ill from travel sickness or too tired from sitting.
As the host, this bit of dignity should still be given!
Soon, guards brought out a soft sedan chair from inside!
The soft sedan chair stopped beside the carriage.
The maids and old won around the Old Lady busied themselves again upon discovering she had drooled quite a bit while they cursed and shouted, waking her up inside!
Then she urinated, defecated!
Everyone suddenly sensed a strong sll of excrent and urine, the scent of night fragrance spreading far. People watching nearby kept fanning their noses, intending to escape but also wanting to see who could have such a scent?
If it’s a child, the sll of excrent and urine shouldn’t be this foul!
The Old Lady they just ntioned, did it an she had no place to relieve herself inside from sitting too long? So she urinated and defecated?
The maids and old won in the carriage were facing a sowhat confusing situation.
