The system asked me to chase his wife

The Wu family, Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, has only one son from generation to generation. Wu Wendong is the only eldest grandson of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Wu Hongyi. He has been raised in the arms of his grandfather since he was born.

Wu Hongyi was born a military general and was appointed as the commander of the imperial guards by the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. All the soldiers under his command have seen Wu Wendong. Who doesn't know that this kid is the apple of the old man's eye?
Back then, Wu Hongyi carried Wu Wendong to military training. In front of all his subordinates, Wu Wendong almost urinated into Wu Hongyi's mouth.

As a result, Wu Hongyi boasted to everyone he met that his grandson was very strong and could pee very high!
When the carriage carrying Wu Wendong rushed to the military camp, Wu Wendong was sitting on the stage watching the soldiers fighting each other below.

When Wu Hongyi heard the servant report that Wu Wendong had arrived, he stood up quickly and went to look for his beloved grandson with a smile on his face.

But when Wu Hongyi saw Wu Wendong's miserable appearance, his face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

With red eyes, Wu Wendong complained to his grandfather, evading the main point by telling how he was beaten, how he was scolded by a maid, and how he was forced to apologize to someone.

With every word he spoke, the muscles on Wu Hongyi's face bulged. By the time Wu Wendong had finished narrating the entire story, the hair on Wu Hongyi's head was standing up.

He slammed the spear in his hand heavily into the ground, sand and stones splashed everywhere, revealing a shallow pit.

"Humph! The Zhenguogong Mansion is going too far!"

Wu Hongyi looked at his precious grandson's injuries with a distressed look, and then turned around and issued an order: "Call the soldiers, follow me to the Zhenguogong Mansion to ask for an explanation!"

The young general who received the order hesitated: "My Lord, this may not be appropriate, right?"

Wu Hongyi widened his eyes and cursed: "I have the final say on whether it is appropriate or not. You have followed me for so many years and you still can't tell the difference between good and bad?"

Seeing that the Marquis had made up his mind, the young general wiped the saliva from his head and went down.

Wu Hongyi originally planned to send Wu Wendong back to the Marquis' Mansion first, but Wu Wendong insisted on going with him to find the place to fight.

So half an hour later, the grandfather and grandson, with a fifty-man imperial guard, blocked the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

It was already the end of the Shen hour, but the days were long in summer and the sun was still setting in the west, stretching the shadows of the team very long.

The crowds that usually came and went in front of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion had already moved away.

When the doorman of the Duke's Mansion saw this group of imposing soldiers, he simply closed the door and went to the backyard to pass on the message.

Naturally, both the lady and the lady in the courtyard got the news.

Qiao Yuandong had some heatstroke and was sleeping soundly after taking medicine. When Rongzhu came to report, she forced herself to get up and change her clothes.

Just after I finished washing up, Lian Bi from the lady's side came over to deliver news.

Lian Bi told Qiao Yuandong: "The Madam said that Madam should stay in the yard. She will handle this matter personally."

Qiao Yuandong was a little worried: "Grandma is old, how can I let her go for such a thing? Where is she now?"

"The Madam must have gone to the gate by now."

Seeing that Qiao Yuandong was determined to go, Lian Bi repeated what the lady had said to her.

"Madam Tai said that Lord Wu is notoriously unreasonable. If you, a junior, go there, you won't be bullied by him. On the contrary, she is the one who can calm the situation down."

Qiao Yuandong thought that what the lady said made sense, so he stopped.

At this time, outside the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, in addition to the army brought by Wu Hongyi, there was another army from the City Defense Department.

The City Defense Department is responsible for the security of the capital, and the Imperial Guards are the loyal dogs that protect the royal family.

The two groups of people met and were now confronting each other.

Liu Hui, the commander of the city defense department, rode a black horse, wore armor, and led his soldiers to stand in front of Wu Hongyi.

"My Lord, fighting is forbidden in the capital. What do you mean by breaking the law knowingly?"

Wu Hongyi was fearless and didn't even glance at Liu Hui: "I have the right to mobilize troops, and the soldiers I brought are no more than a hundred people, how can I break the law!"

Liu Hui gritted his teeth and continued, "My Lord, don't forget that this is the capital. If you act like this, you will probably be impeached by the censors. Then..."

"Bullshit!" Wu Hongyi interrupted Liu Hui before he could finish his words.

"The Duke's Mansion relied on its greater status than mine to suppress and beat my own grandson. Isn't this bullying? Those dogs who always point fingers at others should impeach the Duke's Mansion!"

Liu Hui was blocked by Wu Hongyi and was angry, but seeing that it was not a good idea to leave today, he could only stay here with his men to prevent the matter from getting out of hand and ending badly.

Seeing that Liu Hui had fallen silent, Wu Hongyi became even more unscrupulous. He put his hands on his hips and shouted curses at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"The Duke's Mansion is so great! Bullying a child is nothing, come out and fight me if you have the guts!"

"Open the door! Why are you acting like a coward with the door closed?"

With a creak, the red-painted door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion opened, and the lady-in-waiting, wearing the attire of a first-rank lady of the state, stood at the door, holding a tablet in her hand.

It was the long-deceased old Duke, the Dowager’s husband, Xiang Yingyan!

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in front of the Duke's Mansion?"

The lady's majestic voice came from the door, and everyone outside stood still, even Wu Hongyi, who had been shouting and cursing, stopped.

The lady was dressed in the dignified and luxurious attire of a first-rank lady of the state. A pearl string of eight treasures hung from the leather belt around her waist. The gold, silver, pearls and jade on her head made her look majestic without even showing any anger.

"This is the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. The two generals are actually leading troops to block it. I wonder what they want to do?"

When the lady said this, she didn't even look at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

The commander of the City Defense Department, Liu Hui, who had come to smooth things over, immediately stepped forward to respond.

"We have no intention of offending you. We apologize for disturbing you, madam!" While speaking, Liu Hui kept winking at Wu Hongyi.

It's best to settle today's matter privately and in a low-key manner. If it is brought to the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, no one will be in trouble.

However, what Liu Hui didn't know was that when Marquis Zhongyong brought so many people with him, he had never thought of settling the matter privately.

Wu Hongyi had come here to call for punishment, but now he was looked down upon by the lady, and for a moment he became angry.

His armor gleamed brilliantly in the setting sun as he rode on a tall horse. Facing the questioning of the lady, he snorted coldly.

"My grandson came to your house for a drink today. He came in fine, but when he came out, he looked like this. I hope Madam can give me an explanation!"

As he spoke, Wu Wendong, who was following Wu Hongyi, took two steps forward.

He raised his gauze-wrapped head and looked at the lady with a smug look, just waiting for his grandfather to get back at him.

"I thought it was such a big deal that the loyal and brave marquis had to go to such lengths to start a war."

The lady glanced at Wu Wendong lightly, curled her lips, but the words she said were very heartbreaking.

"Your grandson's words were rude and offended the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Is it okay for me to teach the child on behalf of the Loyal and Brave Marquis?"

As she spoke, she slightly raised the tablet of her deceased husband in her hand, which made Liu Hui's eyelids twitch.

Both of them were experienced men who had served in both the imperial court and the battlefield, so Wu Hongyi and Liu Hui understood what the old lady said.

This is clearly using one's status and position to pressure others!

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is a first-rank title. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is not from the royal family. Although he is a marquis, his status is lower than that of the Duke of Zhenguo.

From this perspective, Wu Wendong's making a scene in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion could indeed be considered an act of usurpation.

"Madam, there is nothing wrong in disciplining my child for me. I should thank you very much!"

Wu Hongyi obviously knew this, and he did not hold Xiang Xiu'an accountable for this matter.

"Grandpa!" Wu Wendong became anxious when he heard Wu Hongyi say that.

Wu Hongyi stretched out his hand to hold down his agitated grandson. His old eyes flashed with brilliance as he looked at the old lady, turned the sword, and talked about another person.

"But I heard that my grandson was humiliated and abused by a lowly maid in the mansion. I wonder how to settle this account?"

Wu Hongyi came in a rage to avenge his grandson. Although he brought the imperial guards to block the door, he was not a brainless person and knew that things would be difficult to deal with if they got too big.

From the very beginning, his goal was to force the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to hand over the maid, and then bring her back to the mansion to be dealt with by his grandson.

This way, I can vent my grandson's anger and slap the Duke's Mansion in the face. Isn't that the best of both worlds?

I think she is just a little maid. For the sake of the relationship between the two families, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would not even give her this face.

"Oh." The Madam laughed softly, "My Lord, you are joking. Our mansion has always had strict rules. How could a maid dare to offend the superiors?"

Wu Hongyi never expected that the lady would ignore him, and for a moment he even forgot what he was supposed to say.

"You're talking nonsense!" The victim Wu Wendong was unhappy and immediately stood up and shouted, "It was just a maid who had someone pin me to the ground and kept scolding me!"

He was afraid that Wu Hongyi would not believe him, so he grabbed Wu Hongyi's hand and emphasized, "Grandpa, don't believe her words!"

Wu Hongyi was so obsessed with his grandson that he was too lazy to practice Tai Chi with his wife.

He got straight to the point and said, "Madam, just hand over that slave girl, and I will withdraw my troops immediately."

The lady looked at Wu Hongyi's resolute old face and simply refused.

"There is no reason to send someone from our palace to be abused. This person cannot be handed over."

Liu Hui, who was standing aside, couldn't help sweating on his forehead when he saw the two sides talking about this.

He began to wonder anxiously how important he was in the eyes of the Emperor. If the Emperor got angry, would he vent his anger on him?
Wu Hongyi was a reckless man who would do anything he pleased. When he was humiliated by the lady, he immediately became angry.

"In that case, don't blame me for offending you."

As he said this, he raised the whip in his hand and was about to order the dozens of imperial guards behind him to rush into the mansion and capture the person.

The imperial guards who came with Wu Hongyi were all good at following orders, and when they saw their superiors making a move, they were all ready to go.

When the city defense troops brought by Liu Hui saw the people on the opposite side moving, they also moved.

The scene became chaotic and difficult to control for a while.

"Let's see who dares to be bold!"

Faced with such a scene, the lady did not seem flustered at all.

She held the tablet in her hand with a calm expression, and even walked out of the mansion slowly, towards Wu Hongyi's troops.

Wu Hongyi looked at the lady who was standing two meters away from him, and retracted the whip in his hand.

He frowned and said, "The Duke's Mansion has a cunning servant, I hope Madam will not take him."

"Shut up you old bastard!"
