The woman refused to accept it and howled louder. The eldest lady wanted to say something, but Shen Lansui slapped her again with her backhand.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", which made the surrounding servants shrink their necks in shock.
The eldest lady opened her mouth and closed it again, looking at Shen Lansui dissatisfied, "What are you doing?"
Shen Lansui's eyes were like daggers, he swept across the faces of the people on the ground, and said sternly: "I don't care what happened before, now that I'm here, it's not the master's business. You slaves are chattering here."
"You call her a cousin and you call her a third son. Do you want to ruin her reputation and force her to die? Your cousin is the eldest lady's niece. Are you trying to slap the eldest lady in the face?"
The eldest lady's expression froze.
"Whoever dares to say one more word will be dragged and beaten by me. After the beating, he will be rendered mute and sold to a remote place!" Shen Lansui flicked his sleeves with a stern look on his face.
The maid and mother-in-law, who was about to cry, immediately shut up when she heard this.
The eldest lady narrowed her eyes, a little surprised.
I thought she was a smooth talker before, but I didn't expect that she was quite capable of bluffing people at critical moments.
"I want to sell my servants in my yard, do I agree?" The eldest lady took a step forward, glanced at the closed door of Nuange, gritted her teeth and said: "There is such a big movement outside, and no one inside can You can see that you have no shame when you come out. In this case, how can you save them any face? Come on, open the door!"
"I have to do it if I want to, and it's not anyone else's turn to intervene."
Shen Lansui was the first to block the door and said harshly: "Get out of here! Are you allowed to see the family affairs of the Duke's mansion? How many heads have you grown?"
The maids looked at each other and hesitated.
The eldest lady glanced at her and said, "What are you still standing around for? When did a young lady get to dictate my yard?"
"She can't do it, what about me?"
Duke Rong Guo's voice came from around the corner, and the eldest lady was startled, and the hairs all over her body stood up.
She turned her head in disbelief, "You——"
Why are you back so soon?
However, after seeing the person behind Duke Rong clearly, her face instantly lost all color.
"Lu Xingyue?!"
Shen Lansui turned around, only to see Lu Xingyue approaching quickly, holding her hand, his eyes falling on her deep and shallow sleeves, and asked in a deep voice: "How did you do it?"
Shen Lansui blinked in confusion, "The eldest lady splashed it."
Lu Xingyue immediately looked at Madam, his eyes were cold and sharp, "Madam, I wonder where my wife has offended you?"
Duke Rong Guo said coldly: "Open the door first."
As soon as the words fell, the door opened by itself from the inside.
Everyone turned to look and saw Lu Mingchao walking out.
Shen Lansui was stunned. When he looked back, he saw someone lying on the couch inside.
Lu Mingchao saw her first, his eyes looked sad for a moment, but he quickly looked away and glanced at Lu Xingyue. Their eyes met. Only they knew what was going on.
Finally, he looked at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady swayed, took a step back in disbelief, and immediately rushed forward.
Lu Xingyue put his arms around Shen Lansui's shoulders and held her away from the eldest lady.
The eldest lady's eyes were splitting, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Why are you here? Why are you here?!"
Lu Mingchao's eyes were slightly red, and he asked softly: "Otherwise, who should be here? Third brother?"
The eldest lady was speechless.
Duke Rong Guo took a deep breath, glanced at the people on the ground with his sharp eyes, and shouted: "Come here, tie them up and put them in the woodshed and keep a close eye on them. I will deal with them after I resolve the matter here." !”
"yes!"
The guards who followed immediately stepped forward and pulled the maids and wives up.
The maid wailed and begged for mercy, but her mouth was covered and dragged out.
They were left in the Nuan Pavilion in the main courtyard before watching the spring and enjoying the summer. At this time, they followed Lu Xing and wanted to come forward. Shen Lansui saw it and shook his head at them and winked.
The two of them hid behind and did not get closer.
The yard suddenly became quiet, but this silence was even more frightening.
Duke Rong Guo closed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Mengli?"
Lu Mingchao turned sideways and said, "Brothers and sisters, please go in and take a look. Mengli's current appearance is not easy to see."
Shen Lansui's heart tightened and she glanced at Lu Xingyue. Lu Xingyue let go of her hand and Shen Lansui went in.
Zhou Mengli was lying on the couch, her face flushed, her breathing hot, her clothes disheveled, and she subconsciously shrank in when she heard the footsteps.
"Don't be afraid of Mengli, it's me."
Shen Lansui approached carefully.
Zhou Mengli woke up for a moment when she heard her voice, struggled to look over, and suddenly burst into tears, "Cousin...cousin...I feel so uncomfortable..."
"I know." Shen Lansui hurried to the couch and held her hand like a piece of live coal, which shocked her.
Looking at her rosy face, it was clear that she had been drugged.
She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "She is really a madman! Beast!"
Zhou Mengli cried softly, and Shen Lansui touched her face and said pityingly: "It's okay, she'll be fine soon."
The supernatural power was transmitted into Zhou Mengli's body along her hand. Zhou Mengli suddenly felt a chill in her body, as if she had been thrown into a pool, and quickly calmed down.
The hot itch in her body faded quickly, she sighed comfortably, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.
At the same time, Lu Mingchao closed the door of Nuange.
Several people stood in the corridor, the atmosphere was strange and tense.
The eldest lady suddenly grabbed Lu Xingyue's collar and asked fiercely: "Is it you?!"
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Lu Jingzhi was shocked when he came in a hurry. Lu Mingwan followed behind, also dazed and shocked, but subconsciously stood beside the eldest lady.
"Leave me alone! I'm going to kill this beast! This bastard of a genocide!"
The eldest lady raised her hand to hit Lu Xingyue, but her wrist was tightly grasped.
"Mom, how long are you going to keep making trouble?" Lu Mingchao asked tiredly.
"Am I making trouble? Do you know that if word of what happened today spreads, you will have to marry Zhou Mengli?!"
The eldest lady collapsed and shouted, "You are not married yet? How can she come in?"
Lu Mingchao looked at her deeply and suddenly laughed, his eyes disappointed and calm.
"Isn't it a good thing that I'm not married? I married my cousin, so I get the best of both worlds."
The eldest lady was shocked, stared at him in disbelief, and asked softly: "Are you crazy? What is her identity and family background? Is she worthy?"
"So what? Now that the matter is over, if I don't marry her, will you let her hang with a piece of white silk?"
Lu Mingchao laughed lowly, "Who is crazy? Mother, that is a life! An innocent life!!"
He almost roared at the last sentence, and the veins in his neck popped out.
Lu Jingzhi's heart skipped a beat. He understood something and subconsciously covered his mouth.
Lu Ming stood in front of the eldest lady at night and pushed Lu Mingchao, "What are you calling?! She is your mother!"
