Chapter 196 Are You Rebellious?
Zhou had suffered such a huge loss that she was unwilling to give up. She glared at Deji and angrily cursed, "You dog slave, we are all honored guests of your Yonglin Marquis Mansion. What right do you, a dog slave, have to chase us away?"
Deji said in a calm and composed voice, "Our Madam said that I am the Marquis's servant alone. Madam Zhou, you have no right to insult me. Before the Marquis left the capital, he instructed me to protect her and obey her orders. Therefore, her orders are our Marquis' orders."
After Deji finished speaking, he winked at the guards, who immediately understood and stepped forward to lift Zhou up and leave.
"What are you doing? You are so bold, let me go." Zhou screamed in fear, but the guards ignored her and carried her out directly.
When the guards were about to carry Zhou Lai, Zhou Lai immediately understood and said, "No need for you to carry me, I can walk by myself."
The guards didn't force him. After all, Zhou Lai was so big that it would take many people to carry him out.
Xu Rong was pregnant and was the young lady of the mansion, so the guards didn't dare to touch her. But Zhou Lai couldn't leave her in the mansion, so he pulled her out.
"Rong'er." Zheng didn't want Xu Rong to leave, but her leg was injured and she couldn't get up. She called Xu Rong anxiously, but Zhou Lai pulled her out.
Zheng anxiously shouted to the maids around her, "What are you all standing there for? Go and stop him."
But the old women didn't move.
Because they all saw clearly that the one who was in power in the Marquis' Mansion now was Jiang Xiyu, not Zheng, and Xu Rong and the others were the ones Jiang Xiyu wanted to drive away. In order to surrender, they could no longer listen to Zheng.
Nanny Li bowed her head and tried to persuade him, "Old Madam, the young lady has already married. We can't stop her now even if we want to."
"If you don't go, I'll go by myself." Zheng was so anxious that she got off the chair and limped to chase Xu Rong.
"Old lady, please don't be impulsive. Your leg injury has just healed a little. If you injure it again, it might leave a root of the disease."
Nanny Li anxiously chased after her, then turned around and instructed the maids, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. No matter what, she's still the old lady of the Marquis's mansion. Why don't you hurry and help her back to the courtyard? If anything happens to the old lady, will the Marquis let you go when he returns?"
They were frightened by Nanny Li, and hurried forward, grabbed Zheng with all their might, lifted her back to the chair, and then carried her to the yard.
"What are you doing? Put me down now! Are you rebelling against the heaven?"
Zheng struggled, but was held down firmly by the maids and could not move. It seemed as if they did not hear Zheng's cries and instead increased their speed.
Zheng was sent back to her own courtyard by several maids, and Zhou Lai and others were invited outside the mansion by the guards.
Especially Zhou, the guards didn't hold back when they threw her. It was because she was so mean and called them Lord Deji a dog slave. She deserved to be thrown.
"Ouch." Zhou fell heavily to the ground and sat there wailing, "These damn bastards, come and see, the people from Yonglin Marquis' Mansion are trying to steal money and kill people."
Deji didn't have time to pay attention to her. He asked her to go outside and took her back home.
Afraid that they would come in and cause trouble again, he asked the doorman to close the door directly.
After the door was closed, Xu Rong glanced at Zhou with disdain, "Alright, stop howling. It's embarrassing."
Xu Rong flicked her sleeves and got on the Zhou family's carriage.
I didn’t get my dowry back today, and instead got myself into trouble. It’s such a big loss.
Seeing Xu Rong's attitude, Zhou was immediately furious. She got up from the ground, rushed to Xu Rong's carriage, and quickly lifted the curtain of her carriage.
"Xu Rong, you were the one who ordered Jiang Xiyu to do this today, right? Did you complain to Zheng's company? Did you tell them everything?"
For the last sentence, Zhou raised her voice suddenly because of her anxiety.
She now understood completely that Jiang Xiyu's trick of putting jewels in cakes today was just to lure her to her room so that she could be transferred away and Zheng could have a chance to talk to Xu Rong in private.
So it must be Xu Rong who instructed Jiang Xiyu to do this today, causing her to be so embarrassed today. Xu Rong is such a bitch.
Zhou Lai next to him also looked at Xu Rong with a frown.
Others may not know, but he knew that he was not drunk at all. It must be that Zheng and Xu Rong had given him some drugs.
While he was comatose, Xu Rong and Zheng must have been alone together, and they must have talked for a long time. Could it be that Xu Rong really complained to Zheng?
Xu Rong sat in the carriage, watching the mad Zhou outside calmly. "Go ahead and shout! Shout louder. Let everyone hear what good deeds you, the Zhou family's mistress, have done, and what beasts in human form your family are."
Xu Rong's words frightened Zhou, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Rong, do you want to die?"
Zhou Lai was also quite frightened and followed her to the front of the carriage, as if he was worried that Xu Rong would talk nonsense.
Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered in the Zhou family during this period, and seeing Zhou's furious look, he laughed happily in his heart and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid. If I had said anything to my mother, do you think you could leave the Yonglin Marquis Mansion? My mother would still be willing to help me ask for a dowry. If I had really said it, you would be in the Dali Temple now."
After hearing Xu Rong's words, Zhou suddenly came to her senses.
It also confirmed that Xu Rong did not say anything nonsense to Zheng.
It seems that what Zhou Qin said last night calmed Xu Rong down.
While Zhou was stunned, Xu Rong's carriage had already left.
"Let's go." Zhou also pulled Zhou Lai into another carriage. Before getting on the carriage, she spat at the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
As soon as they got on the carriage, Zhou asked Zhou Lai, "Has Xu Rong left your sight today?"
Zhou looked at her and didn't dare to speak.
Zhou saw his expression and knew his mother better than anyone else. She quickly understood what was going on and angrily slapped him hard, "Didn't you keep an eye on her? Do you know how serious this matter is? I told you to keep an eye on her, but how do you look at people?"
Zhou Lai was beaten by Zhou Shi and hid with his teeth bared. He explained, "I looked carefully, but that bitch Zheng Shi gave me a cup of tea, saying it was new tea from the palace. I fainted after taking a sip and woke up in the guest house."
"What?" Zhou was shocked when she heard this and stopped hitting the man.
Zhou Lai finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had finally stopped hitting him. He looked aggrieved, "After I woke up, Xu Rong said I was drunk. I didn't even have a few drinks at noon. How could I be drunk with my alcohol tolerance? They must have put some drug in the tea."
Mrs. Zhou was furious again. "Zheng Zhenzhu just wanted to knock you out. They are mother and daughter and easy to talk to. But she dared to hurt you like this. I will go and settle the score with her."
