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

Granny Chang knew in her heart that all the servants in Anju Courtyard depended on the old lady for their livelihood. If the old lady really lost them, their fate would be unimaginable and they would definitely not have a good life.

The best outcome would be to be sent to the estate, but no, she didn't want to live that kind of life.

"Ji Yueru, hurry up and bring the medicine over."

Lin Yuxue realized that her mother absolutely could not be harmed, and got up to snatch the medicine from Chunhua's hand.

Chunhua wasn't going to tolerate her. She kicked Lin Yuxue two meters away, and Lin Yuxue lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

The maids and servants in the entire courtyard were dumbfounded. How could the madam dare to let her maid hurt the young lady?

Ji Yue looked at her fingernails leisurely and spoke slowly.

"Look at you all, what's the rush? I didn't say the old lady couldn't take her medicine. I'm just making sure the maid doesn't accidentally take the wrong medicine."

"Chunhua, bring me the medicine so I can take a look."

Chunhua stepped forward and respectfully handed the medicine to Ji Yueru.

Ji Yueru held it in her hand and played with it, but she didn't take it to the old lady.

Granny Chang dared not offer any further advice, for fear of following in the footsteps of the young lady.

"Someone go and get me a glass of water."

Manager Xu's ability to select people is beyond question; the servants he buys are all discerning.

The maidservant who brought the water went to the tea room and poured out a cup of water, which was obviously boiling hot.

"The water is too hot. Let it cool down a bit before feeding the old lady her medicine."

The old lady was still trembling, her lower body already incontinent, with water dripping from under the recliner, and a strong smell of urine spreading around her.

Ji Yueru felt a surge of joy and, seeing this, generously tossed the medicine to Granny Chang.

Granny Chang shakily opened the medicine bottle and quickly poured out two pills, feeding them into the old lady's mouth.

After a while, the trembling old lady gradually calmed down.

"Chunhua, go and teach the young lady how to behave."

Such a disobedient and unfilial brat actually made the old lady faint from anger.

The servants in the courtyard were shocked again. It was clearly the lady who had angered the old lady to the point of fainting, but now she was blaming the young lady. How come they never knew the lady was so good at shifting blame?

"Yes, madam."

Chunhua stepped forward and lifted the person who wasn't lying down yet up like a little chick.

"Madam, let me do it."

"Go."

Zhiyi rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward. She had endured so much humiliation from the masters and servants in the Anshun Marquis's mansion since she married into the family. She had had enough of it, so she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

To give Zhiyi a better chance to maneuver, Chunhua grabbed Lin Yuxue by the back of her collar with one hand and pulled her head up with the other.

Thanks.

He raised his hand and slapped her more than a dozen times. With each slap, the pent-up anger in his chest was released, and he felt incredibly relieved.

"Madam should have done this a long time ago. These people eat Madam's food, drink Madam's drink, use Madam's things, and still dare to give Madam a hard time. They've really been spoiled."

Lin Yuxue was already in excruciating pain in her chest from the kick earlier, and now she had been slapped more than a dozen times, leaving her in pain all over her body.

When he tried to curse, his mouth hurt terribly, and in the end, he was so angry and upset that he fainted.

The person who knew the situation clicked their tongue in disbelief; the person was indeed easily defeated.

"Zhiyi, make a list later. Those who behave will stay, and the rest will be sold off."

Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

"Yes, madam."

After the master and servants left, the servants in the old lady's courtyard were already quite frightened.

They've offended Zhiyi quite a bit in the past, so there's no doubt they'll be on the list of those to be sold. I wonder if it's too late to pull strings now.

As soon as the others left, Granny Chang and her personal maids collapsed to the ground.

It's over, it's over.

They didn't think the lady was joking; they believed she was genuinely going to reorganize the Marquis's mansion.

On the way back to the courtyard, Ji Yueru could only hear An'an's chattering voice, and beside her was Zhiyi with a smug look on her face.

A smile unconsciously crept onto my lips, and life seemed to be looking up more and more promising.

Back in the courtyard, Zhiyi couldn't wait to take out paper and pen and write down dozens of names in one go. These were all names she had clashed with in the past, and she was not about to let go of such a good opportunity for revenge.

"Madam, please take a look. Is what I wrote appropriate?"

Ji Yueru didn't even look at it.

"It's up to you to decide."

Zhiyi smiled slyly.

"Don't worry, Madam. None of the servants who have bullied you in the past will be spared."

[Mother, you'd better be prepared. Those two old men from the Ji family have sued you, and the officials from the capital are on their way to the Marquis's residence.]

Ji Yueru was not surprised by this at all; it seems that the only thing the Ji family can think of to suppress her now is filial piety.

"Someone come here."

An unfamiliar maidservant walked in from outside and bowed, as if afraid that Ji Yueru wouldn't know her name.

"This servant, Shuyi, greets Madam."

You can tell from the name that it was given by Steward Xu.

"Take a few people to the main kitchen and see what food they have, then bring some back."

Thinking about Chunhua's appetite, Ji Yueru added another sentence.

"We need to make enough for ten people, so we need to be quick. I have to leave in 15 minutes."

"Yes, madam."

The manor is in chaos right now, and she doesn't know if she missed one or two servants when she was taking orders. She won't let Chunhua leave her side now.

Fifteen minutes later, a large table full of food was laid out in front of Ji Yueru, all of which were her favorite dishes.

Half the day had passed since they returned from Dajue Temple, and Ji Yueru was indeed a little hungry.

However, she has never had a big appetite. She ate a bowl of rice and some vegetables and was full. There was still a lot of food left on the table.

"Chunhua, you finish the rest of the food. Come with me out of the manor later."

Chunhua really didn't expect such a good thing, and happily thanked the giver.

"Thank you for the gift, Madam."

Then, without any hesitation, she picked up the soup bowl in the middle and ate the whole bowl of soup in one go, which made the maids next to her glance at her slightly.

A bowl of soup wasn't even an appetizer for Chunhua; she poured all the remaining vegetables and rice together and mixed them into a large bowl.

Chunhua held her chopsticks but didn't sit down. This was the place where the madam sat, and as a servant, she couldn't break the rules.

She took a big bowl of rice and squatted down in the corner to eat. Shuyi and the others watched as Chunhua devoured the whole bowl in just a dozen breaths, and they couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

That wasn't the most shocking thing for them; in the end, all the food on the table ended up in Chunhua's stomach.

Shuyi and the others kept glancing at Chunhua's stomach, as if her stomach was only slightly protruding and she didn't look like she had eaten three large bowls of food.

"Madam, the people from the Kyoto Prefectural Government have arrived and request that you go to the Kyoto Prefectural Government now."

The time is just right.

"Chunhua, you're coming with me to the Kyoto government office. Zhiyi is staying at the Marquis's residence."
