Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

"Bang!"

Caught off guard, Zhiyi was knocked forward. Chunhua, with both hands busy, kicked a chair to catch her.

The servants rushed into the house and were terrified by what they saw.

This...

How dare the second young lady do that?

"Let's go."

The three servants walked out, and none of the servants dared to stop them. Even the master of the mansion and Marquis Anshun were knocked to the ground. Going up would only result in them getting beaten up for nothing.

The three of them, master and servant, swaggered out of the Ji residence.

[That's so satisfying, so incredibly satisfying! Mother, you should have done this a long time ago.]

Let's go back to the Marquis of Anshun's residence now and have a second round, where we'll beat up that old hag and Lin Yuxue.

"Great suggestion, just like my daughter."

【whee……."】

An'an laughed like a silly little girl, beat the person up, and finally vented some of the anger in her chest.

When the three of them returned to the gate of the Marquis's mansion, they saw a group of people standing in front of the gate, with Steward Xu leading the way.

Upon seeing the three people, Steward Xu stepped forward and bowed.

"This old servant greets Madam."

"Manager Xu, please rise quickly."

Ji Yueru stepped forward and offered a helping hand. Manager Xu was an old servant of her maternal grandmother. Before her death, her grandmother had specifically instructed Manager Xu and his family to follow her. Ji Yueru had a lot of respect for Manager Xu.

"Madam, here are the twenty maids, twenty servants, and twenty guards you requested."

This old servant has thoroughly investigated them; their backgrounds are absolutely clean. Madam, please feel free to use them.

"I've always trusted Manager Xu's work."

"From now on, Madam will be your mistress. In the Marquis's residence, you only need to obey Madam's orders."

Sixty people knelt down and kowtowed to Ji Yueru.

"This servant greets Madam."

"Get up, everyone."

Ji Yueru led the way, flanked by two maids on either side, followed by the sixty servants from before.

The gatekeeper trembled at the sight of this scene; it seemed that the Anshun Marquis's residence was about to undergo a major upheaval.

One of the gatekeepers had already rushed to Anju Courtyard to report the news, while the other didn't dare to step forward to stop them and cowered in a corner like a quail.

"Madam! Madam, something terrible has happened! Madam is back!"

The gatekeeper rushed into Anju Courtyard in a panic, and the old lady, who was resting with her eyes closed on a reclining chair in the courtyard, immediately frowned.

"You're back, so why are you in such a panic?"

"no."

The doorman was tongue-tied and couldn't explain himself clearly, so he was sweating profusely with anxiety.

However, there was no need for him to explain, as Ji Yueru had already arrived at Anju Courtyard one step behind him.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Anju Courtyard, apart from four maids who followed, everyone else was dispersed to various locations by Ji Yueru. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, almost everyone in the mansion is now under her control.

It wasn't that she looked down on the servants of the Marquis of Anshun's mansion; they were all just a bunch of good-for-nothings.

A few days ago, I asked Zhiyi to inform Manager Xu to find someone. The most important thing is to find someone with some skills. It doesn't matter if they don't have skills, as long as they are stronger than the average person.

Basically, all sixty people, whether maids, servants, or guards, were slightly stronger than others, though of course, they couldn't compare to Chunhua.

At this point, the old lady still hadn't grasped the situation.

"You bitch, you dare come back!"

"Madam is joking. Why wouldn't I dare to come back?"

"What woman stays out all night like you? Do you even care about Yoona?"

"You're right, I really didn't take your son seriously."

"you!"

The old lady grew increasingly angry; she felt that the man surnamed Ji was becoming more and more arrogant than before.

[Mother, you must provoke her! Tell her that the old Marquis has an illegitimate child outside the marriage.]

【real!】

Ji Yueru's eyes lit up.

[It's fake. She's very strict. How could the old Marquis have time to have illegitimate children outside?]

Who cares if it's true or false, as long as it infuriates the old woman.

An'an is right. According to An'an, the old lady's health is not very good. If she were to beat her up, she would not only send the old lady away but also get herself into trouble, and it would not be satisfying.

Considering how many years she wasted in her previous life, it's really too good for her to die like this.

"Ha ha……"

"What are you laughing at!"

I laugh at you, old lady, for being so foolish without even realizing it.

You probably don't know this, but the old Marquis actually has an illegitimate son outside the marriage, who's about the same age as your son.

"You're talking nonsense!"

The old lady felt a sudden rush of heat to her head; how could this be?

"You must know very well how you married the old Marquis back then, and how much sincerity the Marquis truly had for you."

She overheard an old man from the Marquis of Anshun's mansion mentioning this incident. He said that the old Marquis had no choice but to marry the old lady, and that he had no intention of marrying her at all.

"You're talking nonsense."

She spoke those three words with a clear lack of confidence, knowing full well how she had married into the family back then.

Whether I'm lying or not, the old lady can have someone investigate.

Oh, by the way, you didn't know, did you? That illegitimate child is getting very close to your daughter now, and your daughter might even be pregnant with his child, hahaha…”

[Good job, Mother! That's exactly what you should say. It'll infuriate that old woman.]

Zhiyi was shocked. How could her mistress know about such a private matter? Even she, her personal maid, didn't know.

The Anshunhou family had lied to her countless times in the past. She felt no guilt whatsoever about lying to the whole family, saying whatever she wanted, her main goal being to infuriate people to death.

"Mother, a group of people came to my yard just now and took away all the people who used to serve me."

Just then, Lin Yuxue ran in from outside with her hair disheveled, followed by the maid that Ji Yueru had brought in earlier.

The group simply followed, without doing anything to Lin Yuxue.

When the old lady saw Lin Yuxue, she ignored what Lin Yuxue had said about the maids and servants in the courtyard being taken away and just stared at her.

"Yuxue, tell your mother, do you have someone you like?"

A look of panic flashed in Lin Yuxue's eyes.

"Mother, what are you saying? How could that be?"

The old lady's heart sank. She knew her own daughter well; her flustered appearance suggested something was amiss.

"You have a terrible memory, but I don't mind reminding you: the love letter that fell out of your sleeve the day before yesterday, signed 'Xiao Lang,' wasn't that your lover?"

I'm too embarrassed to read the contents of the letter aloud, such as "a day apart feels like three autumns."

"What kind of person do you think would correspond with your daughter in such mushy language?"

"Madam!"

The old lady was in very bad shape at this time; she was rolling her eyes and trembling all over.

Granny Chang, who was standing nearby, was startled and quickly knelt down to check on her.

"Quickly, bring the old lady's medicine."

A young maidservant hurriedly ran into the inner room to fetch the medicine. Ji Yueru gave Chunhua a wink, and Chunhua quickly followed, snatching the medicine the maidservant had just taken out of the inner room.

Lin Yuxue was terrified; she had never seen her mother like this before.

Granny Chang knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Ji Yueru.

"Madam, please have mercy and give the medicine to the old lady. She really can't go on without it."
