Boss Dao didn't know the rules, so he started yelling in the yard, "Aunt Lanyu, the young lady wants you to come over."
A maid walked out quickly, glaring at him angrily, "Which room are you from? How dare you shout in the old lady's room? How many heads do you have to lose? Go back quickly and don't disturb the old lady."
Boss Dao looked at the maid and said, "I'm from Xiazhi Garden. The eldest lady asked me to invite Aunt Lanyu over."
The old lady and Aunt Lanyu in the room had already heard what Boss Dao said. The old lady raised her head and glanced at Aunt Lanyu indifferently, "It seems that you all think that my life is too comfortable. Why did you go to provoke her at this critical moment
Cuiyu also said, "Lanyu, I told you a long time ago not to provoke them for the time being, but you refused to listen."
Aunt Lan Yu explained, "Isn't it just a servant? What's the point of making such a fuss? Don't worry, old lady, she is just pretending. There is really no need to make things difficult for you because of two servants. Besides, I didn't kill him, I just asked someone to break his legs. As for the little girl, she is locked up in Zuiyue Tower. She is not sold, but just used to scare her."
The old lady sneered, "You won't make things difficult for me? Then what has she done these days? Now that she has come to my house, you should go and settle this matter yourself."
The old lady was just annoyed at Aunt Lanyu's self-assertion, and she didn't really think that Zhi'an would make a big fuss about two servants. She just wanted to show her power.
Now that she was in power, she was thinking about how to establish her authority. How could she not know this mentality? Many people had gone through this before, and gradually they felt that the so-called authority was just a superficial thing, and the real authority was restrained, which made people afraid.
Aunt Lan Yu said, "Don't worry, old lady. I will go and explain it to you. Now that I am in charge of the servants in the mansion, do I not even have the right to send a servant out to do something? I really need to remind the eldest lady that she is not the one in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion now. Even the second lady is not as arrogant as her."
When the old lady heard this, she suddenly looked up at her and asked, "Did the second young lady instruct you to do it?"
Aunt Lan Yu said, "The second young lady couldn't bear to see this either, so she and the servants will punish her a little and give her a severe warning. Please calm down, old lady. This matter will not implicate you. The second young lady said that she will take full responsibility for anything that happens."
The old lady was so angry that her face turned blue after hearing her words, "It seems that you have all grown up and can make decisions on your own about anything."
As they were talking, Dao Lao Da rushed in. He was a rough man and couldn't argue with the maid, so he just rushed in.
Aunt Lan Yu shouted angrily, "How dare you break into the old lady's room? Get out."
Boss Dao didn't even say a word. He just grabbed Aunt Lan Yu and dragged her out.
Aunt Cuiyu saw this and screamed to try to stop them, but Boss Dao was very fast and dragged Aunt Lanyu out of the yard in a moment.
Aunt Cuiyu said to the old lady with a livid face in horror, "The eldest lady's people are getting more and more outrageous. It seems that the second lady and Lanyu should teach her a lesson."
The old lady picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of lamb and put it into her mouth. Although she had bad teeth, she particularly liked to eat stewed lamb. Every time, she would ask the kitchen to stew it for several hours until it was soft and tender in her mouth.
She believes that everything must be cooked to perfection.
She was still a little short of being able to deal with Xia Zian, so she held her breath.
"Old Madam!" Aunt Cuiyu called out again when she saw that she didn't say anything. She always felt that with the old madam's personality, it was impossible for her to just stand by and watch. After all, she also doted on Lan Yu very much.
"Let her learn a lesson. Don't think that she really regards me as your master just because she has followed me for so many years. Let her understand that a servant is always a servant. No matter how much the master values her, she is still just a servant." The old lady said indifferently.
Aunt Cuiyu kept silent. She actually knew that Lanyu had overstepped the boundaries, but she thought the old lady would indulge her.
It was the old lady's favor that made her lose her sense of propriety and forget her identity.
Lan Yu's incident also served as a warning to her. In fact, she was a little too proud of herself and lost sight of her own identity.
After Lan Yu was dragged away by Dao Lao Da, she kept screaming. Dao Lao Da was furious and shouted, "If you scream again, I will knock out your teeth!"
Lan Yu thought the old lady would order people to catch up, so he was fearless and said angrily, "You dare? If you dare to touch a hair of mine, the old lady will not forgive you. You are a dog slave, born by a mother but not raised by her, and you actually bully me."
Dao Lao Da had a shortcoming, that is, he would beat anyone who annoyed him, no matter if they were men or women, and he usually kept his word. Hearing Lan Yu still cursing at him and even cursing his mother, he became so angry that he turned around and punched Lan Yu hard in the mouth, knocking out his two front teeth.
Lan Yu didn't expect that he would really dare to hit her, and be so cruel. She covered her mouth and wailed loudly.
Boss Dao finally had some peace and quiet, and he dragged her towards Xiazhi Garden.
They met many servants on the way. When they saw Lan Yu being held back by Boss Dao, some of them wanted to step forward to rescue him, but seeing Boss Dao's face full of murderous intent, they just followed from a distance and did not dare to step forward.
Before Boss Dao came back, Zi'an asked Nanny Yang to take Yuan Cuiyu back to the room to rest. She didn't want Yuan Cuiyu to see the bloody and violent scene.
Back at Xiazhi Garden, Boss Dao pushed Lan Yu, and Lan Yu staggered and knelt on the ground.
She looked up and saw Zi'an standing in front of her with a gloomy face, with the eldest princess and Miss Chen behind him. She was not panicked, but just raised her head and wiped the blood from her mouth, and said angrily: "Miss, you'd better give me an explanation!"
Zi'an half-knelt down and looked at her, "Okay, what do you want me to explain to you?"
After saying that, she helped Lan Yu up and said, "No need to perform such a big ceremony, stand up and talk."
Lan Yu snorted and stood up with her hand, but before she could stand firm, Zi'an suddenly kicked her calf. She felt pain and knelt down again, "You..."
Zi'an did not bend down this time. He looked down at her with a proud and elegant face. "Where are Xiaosun and Guiyuan?"
Lan Yu was first beaten by Dao Lao Da, and now kicked by Zi'an. She was furious. She looked back and saw that the old lady had not come yet. She couldn't help but feel a little panic in her heart, but it was only fleeting. She didn't believe that the old lady would stand idly by.
She stood up and said arrogantly, "Young lady brought me here, beating and scolding me, but now she wants to ask where the two servants have gone. It's really funny. Can I help Young Lady keep an eye on them? Doesn't everyone in this mansion have to work?"
"Xiaodao, was it she who asked Xiaosun and Guiyuan to go out?" Zi'an asked Boss Dao.
Dao Lao Da said confidently: "Miss, there is no mistake, it was this old witch who asked Xiaosun and Guiyuan to go shopping."
Zi'an stared at Lan Yu, "Hmm? Still not going to tell me?"
Lan Yu sneered, "Now that you mention it, Miss, I just remembered that, yes, I gave them money to go out and buy things, but why haven't they come back yet? Did they go out and slack off somewhere? I'm saying that the people in Xiazhi Garden should be disciplined, they have no respect for their elders."
