Chapter 252 252. Pingyang Marquis Mansion 06
Yun Tutu deeply agreed with this. It was only after she had several interactions with these people that she developed such observation skills.

When she had free time, she would study a lot of these costume dramas and domestic intrigue dramas.

"So don't underestimate the ancients. They are the ones with the greatest wisdom." Yun Tutu frowned slightly when he saw the stalemate ahead. "I always feel that things are not that simple."

Although the scene created by the Marquis's wife at the door could suppress these illegitimate sons and daughters, it also had a great impact on her and Liu Ziqi's reputation.

This stupid act of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting oneself by eight hundred is not something the wife of the Marquis would do.

They were not in a hurry to enter the palace. There was a good show to watch, so of course they had to stay and enjoy it.

People on the roadside were already pointing and talking, and more and more people gathered around. Their van was too peculiar, so the area around it was empty, making it convenient for them to eat melons.

Liu Changqing and the others felt somewhat proud. Although it would not be nice to force their stepmother to do this and make her reputation known, it was a fact that their stepmother was harsh on them, her illegitimate children. When her reputation got ruined, how would Lin Xi have the face to continue occupying the position of the Marquis's wife?

As long as there is no wife of the Marquis, his marriage can be decided by his father, which is better than the ugly one found by his stepmother.

"Please have mercy on us, mother, and give us a way to survive."

Under his leadership, everyone shouted in unison.

Lin Xi covered her face with a fan. These people really didn't know how to live or die. They still wanted to throw dirty water on her at this time.

But this was just as she expected, and she hoped they would be able to bear it next.

"Don't make trouble here. If you have anything to say, you can tell the palace. If you insist on blocking my way to the palace, can you afford it if the palace blames you?"

"Mother, how could the palace summon someone to see you at this hour? Don't use this excuse to evade us. This is extremely disrespectful."

"I didn't expect that Chang Yan's mouth is getting worse and worse. You are just a bastard. Do I have to bear such a serious crime for deceiving you?"

Lin Xi shook his head. These children were really spoiled by Liu Fengning. They were so short-sighted.

"Since you are stopping me from leaving, and there are so many people here who can be my witnesses, if the palace blames me, you will have to bear the responsibility.

As for what you said about me clearing out the things in your room, that didn't happen at all. I just felt like sorting out my dowry on a whim.

As long as the items were registered at that time, they will all be put back into the warehouse. How can we say that your yard has been emptied?
Or are all the ornaments you have my dowry?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar outside the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. How could the legitimate mother's dowry end up in the illegitimate son's room?
Some old people who knew about it immediately thought, "At that time, the wife of the Marquis's mansion was married to the Marquis of Pingyang with a grand ceremony, so it's no wonder that these illegitimate sons would be jealous. It's understandable that they embezzled some of the money from her at ordinary times."

"Father, what are you talking about? Since ancient times, a woman's dowry has been owned by herself. The children of her husband's family cannot touch it without permission, let alone a concubine's son."

"That's true. It seems that the position of the Marquis' wife in the mansion is very difficult. Her dowry was taken away by the bastard, and he can still chase her to the door to ask for it so confidently. It really shows that the world is going downhill."

"Look at them, they treat their stepmother's dowry as their own property, and their attitude is so disrespectful. They are like this outside, so what about inside the mansion?" The conversation of these passers-by was heard by everyone.

Lin Xi covered his mouth to hide the smile. This was just an appetizer. After today, let's see how these bastards can be so arrogant in front of them in the future.

"If these servants dare to take the things from the Marquis' Mansion, I will punish them," Lin Xi said with an annoyed look, "Go and call the maids in charge over to me. Today I want to ask them how they do things.
I asked them to help me clean up the dowry, but how could they empty out all the things of the young masters and ladies? "

Liu Changqing and the others realized something was wrong, but it was impossible for them to withdraw at this moment. If they left, it would be tantamount to proving that they had embezzled their stepmother's dowry.

But it was such an injustice. These things were rationed by the mansion, and many of them were rewards from his father. How would they know where these things came from?

"Brother, it seems we are in trouble," Liu Changyan pursed his lips. He could imagine what kind of infamy these illegitimate children of their marquis' mansion would have to bear after today.
I thought I could control them this time. The mistress would put too many charges on them and my stepmother would have to admit it this time. I didn't expect that others were already prepared.

"It's too late to talk about this now. Let's think about how to get through this." Liu Changqing gritted his teeth and whispered, "Hurry up and get someone to notify my father."

"I have asked my followers to ask my father for help. Most of the things in my yard were gifts from my father. How could they be my stepmother's dowry?"

"I've heard that this woman was dressed in a gorgeous dress when she entered the mansion, and her things were brought into the mansion, so they are naturally the mansion's things. They counted them at this time and took away all our things. It seems that this was planned in advance. We were careless this time.

Now it all depends on what father says. As long as father stands on our side, this woman is nothing to be afraid of."

So what if my father doesn’t value me that much now?
The dozen or so people present were all my father’s children. With so many people tied together, aren’t they less important than a wife?

"Mother, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding. Why don't we go back to the mansion and talk about it first?"

Liu Changqing lowered his posture and looked even more respectful. "If it is my son who has wrongly blamed his mother, I will accept the punishment when the time comes."

Lin Xi, "You blocked the door today, and you didn't intend to make a big deal out of it.

There are so many neighbors here, let them help us to be witnesses, otherwise I would think that I, the mistress of the house, am harsh on you. "

Standing on the carriage, looking at more and more people gathering around, Lin Xi's heart was filled with joy. Come on, only when more people come can this incident spread.

Yun Tutu was enjoying the show, not even paying attention to the scrutinizing looks from the people around him. He took out a bag of melon seeds and grabbed a handful for himself, then called Zhang Yaowen and the others to join him, "We can't watch a show without melon seeds. Do you think there will be a twist later?"

Zhang Yaowen, "The Marquis of Pingyang has already entered the palace, which means it won't be long before someone from the palace comes to summon us. If we follow Madam's previous behavior, we might already be at the palace gate right now.

Now that these little brats have blocked the road, not to mention that the palace will be angry, even the Marquis of Pingyang will not forgive them. "

Zhang Yang touched his arm and said, "It was a bloodless victory. What do you think will happen to them afterwards?"

"Madam Hou's move was ruthless. She used this incident to ruin the careers of all the concubines in the Hou Mansion..."
