Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

One of the personal maids of Madam Lin Qi, named Zishu, was stopped outside the Buddhist hall in the courtyard where Madam Qi lived.

She was so anxious that sweat was all over her forehead, and she was gesturing at something with a housekeeper named Qi who worked for Old Madam Qi.

When I got closer, I could still hear her helplessness and anxiety: "Mammy, please let this servant in, or you can go in and talk to the old lady and ask her to come over. Otherwise, our young lady will really be kicked out of the family tree."

The nanny glanced at her coldly and still stopped her: "You can go to the Marquis for this matter. The Marquis will handle it. Besides, the power of Prince Yan is not in the capital. He is just an empty figure in this imperial city. He can only talk, he dare not do it."

"Why not? He has already brought the concubine to the mansion, and forced the master to invite several elders to go. If the old lady doesn't go, I'm afraid the young lady won't be able to stop her."

The girl she was referring to was Mrs. Lin Qi.

"I told you that you can ask the Marquis for help. The old lady has been worshipping Buddha for many years, and she would not allow anyone to disturb her even if the sky fell. I don't have the courage to disturb her peace. If you are really in a hurry, go to the main courtyard immediately. The second young lady is the Marquis's niece, and she will definitely not stand by and watch."

The old lady stood straight and motionless.

Old Madam Qi had nightmares for many years and could not sleep all night. She always stayed awake until dawn and then forced herself to take care of all the affairs of the Qi residence despite her sick body.

That is, when the Marquis inherited the title and the Lady was barely able to take over the affairs of the mansion, she let go.

Two years ago, she started to worship Buddha.

When she had nothing to do, she liked to retreat and copy Buddhist scriptures, chant sutras and meditate. It was in a room filled with Buddhist incense like this that she could take a short rest and barely get a few moments of sleep.

Even so, she is old.

Her health was getting worse and worse. The Marquis had already made it clear that no one was allowed to disturb the old lady's meditation in any way, otherwise they would be punished according to the family rules and then driven out of the house.

Being punished by family rules is a small matter, but being kicked out of the house is a big matter.

A person who was sold out or driven out of the mansion by the Marquis would basically not be wanted by any other mansion. If he went outside, he would be bullied by others. That was more painful than family law and even more painful than death.

How could the old nanny dare to disturb the old lady's meditation without permission?

She also knew that their girl was used to being domineering in the Lin family because of her Qi family background.

This time, it would be better to scare her, so that she won't be as stupid as before and be known to everyone. With the Qi family and the son-in-law around, even if Prince Yan wants to do something, he will have to be cautious and will not dare to do anything too drastic.

Zishu had no idea what was in the nanny's mind.

She only knew that Prince Yan and the concubine's daughter were coming with great force, and that the master and the mistress had no chance of winning against them.

What's more, the Lin family was wrong first.

Now, my son-in-law has become a small official.

In this capital city, you can easily catch a lot of low-ranking officials.

Now that he is in the mansion, facing Prince Yan and his wife, he will be beaten to a pulp.

Who knows, if Prince Yan gets unhappy, he might not only kick the young lady out, but he might also kick out other young masters.

The old lady in front of him couldn't be persuaded no matter what, and Zishu was so anxious that he was turning around in place.

In a moment, an idea flashed in her mind and she immediately thought of a solution.

She made up her mind, took a few deep breaths, and when the old lady wasn't paying attention, she pushed her away with force.

Nanny Qi's expression was empty.

She lost her balance and was pushed to the ground, staggering.

The pair of hands, covered with calluses and looking very much like old tree bark, subconsciously supported themselves on the ground, rubbing against the small stones on the ground.

The maidservant who followed her was completely stunned. She didn't bother to stop Zishu. Instead, she cried out in surprise and hurried to help the maid: "Madame Qi, are you okay? Where did you fall?"

At this moment, Zishu was already rushing in, shouting, "Madam, Madam, please go and save our young lady. The son-in-law is going to kick her out of the family tree. Madam, please come out quickly."

Aunt Qi was helped to stand up and looked down at her hands which were covered in blood from being rubbed.

The little maid was stunned: "Madame Qi, your hand?"

"It's okay." Aunt Qi said coldly, "Come here, stop her. She is disturbing the old lady's meditation. Watch out for your skins!"

The servants rushed forward.

The little maid carefully helped Madam Qi to stand aside.

"Madam...well, well...well...Madam, please save the young lady and the young lady. The young lady can't stop the young master by herself..."

Before Zishu reached the Buddhist temple, he was handcuffed by servants.

She bit the person who was covering her mouth hard, but before she could shout a few more words, she was covered again.

Several people worked together, holding one of her hands and forcing her to kneel on the ground.

Zishu tried to shout desperately, but he was completely unable to move.

The little maid felt pain when she saw her appearance. This young lady named Zishu is so fierce!

Her eyes were sparkling, as if she had some admiration for Zishu.

Aunt Qi had no idea what she was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely sneer and scold her: This is not a good performance. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. This is simply too stupid.

Her eyes were a little colder than usual.

He put most of his strength on the little maid, then walked forward tremblingly, looking at Zishu without blinking.

The purple book was sent to the Lin family by Old Madam Qi a few years ago.

A few years ago, Lin Huaian's concubine relied on her favor to create many obstacles for Qi, both openly and covertly.

She came home crying every day.

There was no other way, so the old lady sent a little maid and a nanny who were personally raised in her own courtyard over there, hoping that they could help Qi and take care of those coquettish and bitchy women in the backyard of the Lin Mansion.

After they left, Mrs. Lin did remain quiet for a few years.

The backyard of the Lin Mansion was also a little quieter.

Last year, the nanny was old and in poor health, so she asked for permission from Mrs. Qi and the old lady and returned to her hometown.

Old Madam Qi was originally worried and was thinking of finding a suitable nanny to send over to help.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin disagreed.

The old nanny also said that Zishu was now able to stand on his own.

Only then did the old lady stop thinking.

Who would have known that just one year later, the trouble would break out again, and she was even planning to break into the old lady's yard?

Was it the overly relaxed situation of the Lin family that gave rise to her courage?

Or, without the nanny's advice, has she become so stupid?
