This time Shangguan Hou Ye was really cruel and locked Shangguan Liu'er in the ancestral hall and prohibited her from going out.

However, he ignored Ran Qi. Shangguan Houye had already said that Ran Qi would manage the servants in the mansion, so it would be easy to handle.

When Lord Shangguan returned to his mansion the next day, he found that all the servants in the mansion had been changed. His most trusted butlers had all been replaced, and there was no one of his own inside or outside.

And the same goes for the slaves sent by the Ran family. Except for the old nanny beside Shangguan Liu'er, all the other servants were sold.

"Ranshi, what do you want to do?" Shangguan Hou Ye was furious.

"Why are you so angry, Lord Marquis? You said it yourself, I can handle all the servants in the house."

"I asked you to reorganize the Hou Mansion, but I didn't ask you to replace all the servants."

"I can't help it, I don't know which slaves are loyal to me, so I might as well change them all, and there's no way they'll betray me if they stick to the bond of sale."

In this era, the servants who were bought had a contract to sell themselves. From then on, the life and death of these servants were all in the hands of the master's family.

Whoever holds their deed of betrayal in their hands must obey their orders, otherwise they can be killed at any time.

"Wang Zhong has been the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion for many years. Even if you sell the servants, there is no need to sell the housekeepers, right?"

"The first person I want to sell is the housekeeper. He is old and can't even take care of the back door of the Hou Mansion. There is no need for such an incompetent servant to stay."

"Nonsense, you sold so many servants at once. If word spread, others will think that our Marquis Mansion is cruel."

Generally, the master would not sell his servants unless the servants made an unforgivable mistake. It was simply unheard of for Xiang Ranqi to sell all his servants like this.

"These servants are all talkative. I'm just sorting out the housekeeping."

"No matter how you rectify it, Butler Wang must be brought back to me. For so many years, Butler Wang has done the most appropriate thing."

"I have sold the man, I need you to find it yourself." Ran Qidu ignored Shangguan Houye and left with the help of the maid.

Shangguan Hou Ye was one head and two big men, Ran Qi sold all the servants directly, which made him lose the right to control and he was dissatisfied.

But Shangguan Houye couldn't say it anymore. It was always a man who was outside, and a woman who was in charge of the palace. Everything in the house was taken care of by the head wife. If it was rumored that he had reached out to the inner courtyard of the back house, wouldn't he be laughed at? Losing big teeth.

Ran Qiyi Tong sold the servants of Shangguan Hou Mansion and dismissed all the people arranged by the Ran family. After receiving the news, the Ran family came back to see what was going on and think about how to put people in.

This time, the person who came here was the grandmother of the Ran family and the biological mother of the original Mrs. Hou. As soon as she arrived at the Hou Mansion, she heard about her granddaughter Shangguan Liu'er being imprisoned in the ancestral hall before asking why the servants were sold out.

Madam Ran really loved Shangguan Liu'er. Her daughter died early, leaving only a pair of children, and Shangguan Liu'er looked very much like her daughter. Madam Ran almost transferred her love for her daughter to Shangguan Liu'er. On the child's body.

So when I heard that Shangguan Liu'er was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, I immediately felt heartbroken and said, "Ran Qi, please release Liu'er quickly. There is no place for people to stay in that place."

"I can't make the decision in this matter. The Marquis personally ordered this matter. I don't dare to release him privately."

"Hmph, what was Shangguan Hou ordered? I think it was you who put eye drops on Liu'er, causing her to be punished."

Everyone in the capital's aristocratic families knew that even if their daughter made a mistake, she would be punished with a grounding at most, but Shangguan Liu'er was punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall and word spread. People who didn't know about it thought that Shangguan Liu'er had made some unforgivable mistake and was punished so severely.

Mrs. Ran didn’t believe that Shangguan Houye would do this. After all, even for the sake of the Ran family, Shangguan Houye would not be able to impose such a severe punishment. But Shangguan Liuer and Shangguan Li were the Ran family and Shangguan Houye. The strongest bond, no matter how you think about Shangguan Houye, you will not be confused.

So Mrs. Ran wondered if the reason behind this might lie with Ran Qi.

"There is nothing I can do about Mrs. Ran's empty words and she wants to accuse people so unjustly. You can ask yourself what the truth is."

"Of course I'm going to ask."

Mrs. Ran stamped her cane, and then went down to the ancestral hall with the help of the maid.

As soon as she saw Shangguan Liu'er, Mrs. Ran couldn't stop crying, "Liu'er, you have suffered so much. Grandma should have come here earlier."

When Shangguan Liuer saw Mrs. Ran, she seemed to see hope, "Grandma, I miss you too, can you help me?"

"Is it Ranqi? Did she attack you?"

Shangguan Liuer shook his head and said, "Grandma, it was my father who wanted to imprison me in the ancestral hall."

"That was also because of Ran Qi's instigation. Don't worry, Liu'er, grandma will seek justice for you."

"No, grandma, it's not my mother's fault, it's my father's fault."

"Liu'er, what did you call that woman?"

Shangguan Liu'er realized that she had made a mistake. In fact, she was not the only one who didn't accept Ran Qi at first, but her grandmother was the one who couldn't accept her the most.

When Shangguan Liu'er's mother proposed to re-select someone to marry into the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Ran disagreed, and only agreed after Shangguan Liu'er's mother's constant persuasion.

Despite this, Mrs. Ran still felt that the original owner had taken her daughter's position, so she always hated the original owner.

Now when I hear my granddaughter is called Ran Qiniang, her expression will naturally change.

"Grandma, don't be angry. I've been having fun in front of others so much that I didn't pay attention for a while."

Mrs. Ran's face looked better now. "Liu'er, what's going on? You tell grandma and grandma will make the decision for you."

"Thank you grandma, dad is a snobbery. He looks down on Xu Lang and doesn't allow me to associate with him."

Madam Ran didn't expect that Shangguan Liu'er would be imprisoned in the ancestral hall because of such a thing. "What kind of person is Xu Lang?"

Mrs. Ran thought that if the other party's official position was lower, their Ran family could also help.

Who would have thought that Shangguan Liu'er would not stop saying, "Xu Lang is the most talented man. Although he does not have any fame around him now, he will definitely pass the high school exam this time."

"Nonsense, you actually fell in love with a scholar. You have been wearing the best clothes and clothes since you were a child. You are also taught by the best teacher about etiquette, justice and integrity. Did you do anything out of the ordinary?"
