Chapter 49 He doesn't care who you are

Glancing at the maids tied up in the room, and seeing the old woman at the door being beaten to death, Third Madam couldn't understand what was happening. She hurried forward and said to Lu Ji in a soft tone, "Erlang, your Fourth Aunt is a fool, don't bother with her."

Once you provoke Lu Ji, he won’t care who you are.

"Is this how Third Aunt usually manages the household? She allows the woman to come out and embarrass herself, and indulges the servants to make trouble."

Lu Ji had a gloomy face and spoke in a lecturing tone in front of the Third Madam, as if he was the elder.

The Third Madam was choked and could not speak for a long time. Lu Ji raised his eyes and glanced at her. The Third Madam awkwardly forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "Erlang, don't be angry. Third Aunt will take everyone away now and will not provoke you here."

As he said this, he winked at the personal nanny beside him. The nanny understood and came over to help the fourth lady who was lying on the ground. At the same time, she whispered to the maids on the ground, "What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and leave."

The old woman was kicked half to death by Lu Ji just now, which had frightened the people brought by the Fourth Madam. When they saw someone giving the order, the maids immediately received the order and rushed out one after another.

"Wait a minute."

Lu Ji said in a cold and expressionless voice: "After making a scene here, you want to get away with it?"

As he said this, he called Desheng who was at the door and ordered, "Tie them all back to the mansion and sell them out immediately."

When the maids heard this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees and begged for mercy, crying, "Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me."

The master always keeps his word. Desheng brought his servants to tie up the people, and the maids came to pull the fourth lady: "Madam, please save us, please save us."

These were all people around the Fourth Madam. She was anxious, and when she saw Lu Ji's behavior, she dared not say a word. She could only secretly pull at the Third Madam's clothes and beg her to come forward.

The Third Lady rolled her eyes at the Fourth Lady fiercely, but in the end, she was concerned about her dignity as a clan wife, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Erlang, these are all people from our East Palace. Even if you beat a dog, you still have to consider the owner's face. If you treat them like this, where will my dignity as a clan wife be?"

Lu Ji replied: "It was because of Third Aunt's face that I didn't beat them all to death immediately."

This one sentence almost choked the third lady to death.

The servants didn't care about that. After receiving Lu Ji's order, they quickly tied up the man. In the huge hall, there were cries, begging for mercy, and other noisy sounds mixed together.

After all, he was a slave she had married. Seeing that he could not be saved, the Third Lady looked very unhappy. In desperation, she secretly winked at her personal maid and asked her to ask the Duke's wife to come forward.

After a while, the Duke's wife came over, and with her came the Second Lady.

As the two sisters-in-law entered the room, they saw the ground full of sturdy old women, all of them tied up like crabs ready to be put into the pot. The Fourth Lady was huddled aside timidly, and the Third Lady was standing on the ground, her face ashen, and she was panting with anger.

On the contrary, Lu Ji, with his broadsword and golden horse, sat on the armchair like a big boss, not even bothering to lift his eyelids at the noise in the room.

Before the two ladies came, they had already heard the maid sent by the Third Lady explain the whole story. When the Second Lady saw the scene in the room, she almost laughed with her handkerchief covering her face. The Duke's wife secretly stroked her forehead and scolded her son, "What a big deal! Look how angry your Third Aunt is. Why can't you talk nicely? Why do you always shout for fighting and killing?" The Third Lady looked at the Duke's wife and said, "Sister-in-law, although these servants are ignorant, they are all old people in the mansion. Erlang insisted on selling them all out. You came at the right time. Please judge for me."

The Duke's wife acted as if she didn't know what was going on, and asked, "Erlang may have a bad temper, but he's not unreasonable. How did these servants in your house provoke him?"

The Third Madam briefly explained the whole story, and then said, "It is true that these servants did not know the rules, but in the end, they did not hurt Miss Qin."

A group of slaves broke into my son's palace with the intention of committing murder, but they didn't hurt anyone, so they can just let it go?

The wife of the Duke was also a person who could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, but in the end, she was concerned about the Third Madam's face, so she kept a straight face and said nothing.

Seeing this, the Third Madam said, "I will definitely punish them severely when I return. They are all people from my house. It is not appropriate for Erlang to sell them out like this."

The Duchess glanced at her son who was sitting beside her as if in a trance, and remained silent.

The Second Madam came over with a smile and said to the Third Madam, "This is a temporary palace. These servants are too bold. I think Erlang did the right thing and they should be taught a lesson."

Although the Duke's wife and the Second Lady do not have the same personalities and always quarrel with each other behind closed doors, they always work together in front of outsiders.

The Second Madam's biological mother died early. When she had just given birth to Silang, her stepmother, Xue, came to visit the mansion. She said some unpleasant words in a sarcastic tone, which made the Second Madam, who was still in confinement, so angry that she fainted. The Duke's wife was young and energetic at that time. Seeing this, she grabbed Xue's collar and slapped her twice without saying a word. From then on, the woman dared not even enter the mansion. Every time the Second Madam went back to her parents' home, Xue would behave herself and dare not provoke her stepdaughter again.

The Duke's wife was the second wife and married into the mansion later than the Second Lady. When she first married the Duke, she became the hottest topic of conversation among the noble ladies in the capital. When the gossip reached the Duke's wife's ears, she picked several fights with them. But the more she cared, the more others used the gossip to irritate her. Later, the Second Lady stepped in.

At the palace banquet, the second wife held her handkerchief and sneered at the noble ladies, "You are all foxes. You can't eat the grapes, so you say they are sour. Haha, no matter how angry you are, she married the Duke of the State in a dignified manner, and the couple is living a good life. Hey, you, it's useless to talk so much."

How could the Third Madam not know that the two sisters-in-law always act in the same way? After hearing what the Second Madam said, she replied with a dull expression: "These are all people from my house. Even if they made a mistake, it is for me, the clan wife, to deal with them."

Upon hearing this, the Second Madam covered her handkerchief with a smile and replied softly, "Look at what you said. Does Erlang want to compete with you for the position of clan wife?"

Just one sentence made the little maids following around almost laugh out loud.

"You" The third wife knew that the second wife was a smooth talker, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Forget it, forget it. I was just joking with you. Why are you really angry?" Seeing the Third Lady's face change, the Second Lady pushed her and coaxed her.

Then he said with a sniper's tongue: "I think you have been ineffective in the past two years. You should be happy to let Erlang help you with his thunderous skills and rectify the atmosphere in the mansion. Now you are quarreling with your nephew like a black-eyed chicken. If it gets out, you will lose your status as a princess."

In terms of martial arts, the Second Lady is not as good as the Duke's wife, but when it comes to talking, the Second Lady has never lost.

The Third Lady was so angry that her face turned pale. She knew that she alone could not defeat the two sisters-in-law, one civil and one military. She was very unhappy and also annoyed at the Fourth Lady's incompetence. She turned her head and rolled her eyes at her, then snorted coldly at the Second Lady and turned away.
