"Fight! Fight!"

As if possessed, the servants suddenly turned around and started attacking Yin Baozhu without any apparent reason.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Stop! Why are you hitting me? Go and hit her instead!"

Yin Baozhu was completely unprepared and took several blows before her maid pulled her out from under the sticks. She screamed and ran away with her head in her hands.

"Help! Help me!"

"Clang!"

The courtyard gate slammed shut, and the servants, controlled by the "Void Pulling Technique," continued to pound on the gate with their sticks, muttering, "Hit! Hit..."

The scene was like a zombie apocalypse, extremely bizarre.

"Help!..."

The people inside were desperately trying to hold the door shut, their terrified screams echoing throughout the room.

"Stop! Stop..."

Yin Jingtang rushed over, and upon seeing this bizarre scene, his heart sank. He wanted to get angry but dared not, so he could only grit his teeth and step forward with a forced smile.

"Liuli, tell them to stop! Let's talk this out..."

"Yin Baozhu had already arranged for her servants to kill me. Did she even speak to me politely?"

Yin Liuli snorted coldly, "There will be a hefty reward for killing him... That's what she said herself."

"Yes, yes...it's your sister's fault. Father...Father will definitely teach her a lesson later."

Yin Jingtang said tremblingly, "Liuli, tell them to stop first. It would be terrible if someone were killed! I will take care of anything for you."

Yin Liuli drew a few strokes in the air at the servants, and the sound of the sticks immediately stopped.

Her cold, mocking gaze slowly swept over Yin Jingtang.

"Can you really make decisions for me?"

"Yes, yes, Dad will make the decision for you."

Yin Jingtang wiped the cold sweat from his cheeks and said cautiously,

"It's just that your sister and the others have lived in this courtyard for over ten years, so it's understandable that they can't figure it out right now. Give your father some time, and I'll make sure they move out as soon as possible..."

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow. "No time. We're definitely staying at Phoenix Perch Tree tonight!"

Yin Jingtang gasped and shouted at the courtyard gate.

"Baozhu, open the door!"

"Father, she wants to beat me to death and seize this courtyard, and you're actually helping her?"

Yin Baozhu was beaten black and blue, and her heart pounded with rage. She gritted her teeth and said...

"Yin Liuli, didn't you want to take over this courtyard? Don't even think about it! I'd rather burn this place down than let you be so smug!"

Yin Liuli couldn't help but chuckle.

"Really? You're going to burn this place down? You dare?"

Yin Baozhu said fiercely, "You...you don't think I wouldn't dare..."

Before she finished speaking, Yin Liuli raised her hand and drew a "Thunderfire Talisman" in her palm, then raised it towards the sky.

"If you're too scared, then I'll burn it for you!"

"Click"

A flash of lightning streaked across the daylight.

A huge fireball suddenly fell from the sky, carrying raging flames as it crashed straight into the yard.

The fireball landed on a tree, and the flames instantly ignited the treetop, causing a raging fire.

The courtyard was in complete chaos.

The maids and servants screamed and scattered in terror.

"Fire! Fire...fire!"

"Help! Help! Fire!"

"Help! The lady heard the fire and fainted..."

……

Yin Jingtang's face turned green with shock. "Liuli, you...you actually dared to burn it..."

Yin Liuli looked at him calmly.

"Did you hear that, Lord Marquis? She herself said she would burn this place down. I was just helping her out."

How can this girl be so cruel?

Yin Jingtang felt a lump in his throat, unable to spit it out, and could only curse and shout in frustration.

"What are you all standing there for? Go put out the fire!"

The servants, having released the restraining talisman, finally realized what was happening and rushed into the courtyard to put out the fire without thinking.

After finally extinguishing the large tree that had been ignited by lightning, the air was filled with the smell of burning, the ground was a mess, everyone was covered in soot, and they were all still feeling lingering fear.

The look in their eyes when they looked at Yin Liuli was tinged with fear.

This young lady is really ruthless!

Finding an opportunity, Yin Jingtang pulled Yin Baozhu aside and berated her through gritted teeth.

"No matter how much I advised you, you wouldn't listen! Now look what happened, she almost burned this yard down!"

"Stop making a scene, go tell your mother to clear the yard!"

Yin Baozhu cried and sobbed,

"Father, I'm so angry! She's been taking this and that as soon as she came back. How will Mother and I ever have a place in the world?"

Yin Jingtang sighed deeply, "Father knows. Baozhu, of all these children, you are the one I love the most. How could I bear to let you suffer?"

But we can't do anything about her right now! We'll just have to bear with it for now and make a plan after she leaves the house.

Yin Baozhu's chest heaved, she bit her lower lip hard, and after a long while, she nodded with a pitiful expression.

"I'll listen to my father."

……

"Creak..."

The gate to the Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree was fully opened.

The servants, their faces covered in soot, carried the items out of the house one by one.

Granny Jin's wrinkles smoothed out. She ordered two armchairs to be brought over and placed in a cool spot under the eaves, inviting Madam Zhen and Yin Liuli to sit down and watch them move things.

She hurriedly ordered two more cups of tea, her eyes filled with tears, and sighed with a choked sob.

"Madam, we've been away from here for over a decade, and we're finally back!"

I wonder how the furniture that the old master and old lady left for the lady is doing now?

Those were all made for you by the craftsmen under the watchful eyes of the master and mistress back then…”

Zhen felt a stab to her heart, turned her head away, her face already covered in tears.

She had been worried that her daughter alone wouldn't be able to handle the group of servants that Yin Baozhu had summoned, but to her surprise, her daughter took back the courtyard without lifting a finger.

I never expected her to be so ruthless. Yin Baozhu just kept saying she wanted to burn down the courtyard, but she really dared to do it!

"Granny, all the servants who have served in this courtyard should be dismissed, and all the servants should be replaced with new ones."

Yin Liuli took a sip of tea and casually instructed, "Buy the new brides from outside, find out all the details, and bring them to me for me to choose from."

"Yes, young lady, leave it to this old servant."

Granny Jin was overjoyed and said, "Even if the eldest young lady hadn't given the order, this old servant had the same thought in mind. The people in this courtyard should definitely not be used anymore."

Yin Liuli nodded, and was about to say something when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhen Shi's eyes trembling and her slender hands clenching tightly on the armrests of the armchair.

"What's wrong, Mother?"

She followed Zhen's gaze and saw several servants carrying a chest of drawers out.

The chest of drawers was simple yet exquisite in design, with a surface as smooth as jade and clear, deep textures. It was painted black with gold accents, and the surface was decorated with auspicious patterns of flowers, birds, fish, and insects in gold powder, making it indescribably luxurious and refined.

When the servant moved the object, it paused briefly on the ground, producing a deep, bell-like clanging sound.

Even someone who doesn't know much about wood furniture can tell that this is a high-quality item!

"careful……"

Madam Zhen suddenly stood up, a look of heartache flashing across her gentle face. She murmured urgently, "It was made of small-leaf sandalwood..."

"Keep your hands to yourself!"

A maidservant emerged from Wang's room, her face stern, and scolded, "The furniture in this room are all Madam's most cherished possessions. Do you know how much money they're worth? Can you afford to pay for them if they get damaged?"

Zhen's expression froze for a moment.
