If Qin Yaoguang were here, he would immediately sigh: What a fierce Zhang Fei!

I saw the fierce Zhang Fei striding into the yard. The friction between his clothes and armor made a continuous "cracking" sound, which shocked all the servants in the yard and made them unable to recover.

He walked up to Zeng Xia, without much effort, and just lifted her by the collar like a chicken, and asked in a muffled voice, "You said these are all good materials?"

His voice was rough and he spoke close to her. Poor Zeng Xia felt like thunder in her ears and felt dizzy.

Under such pressure, how could Zeng Xia dare to answer?

Seeing that he was slow to speak, the general impatiently threw him away like a rag bag and threw him into the corner.

Lao Wu raised his head high and saw the fat manager who was bullying others draw a huge arc in the air, and then with a dull "bang", it fell between the two chicken coops that had just been brought into the yard in the afternoon and had not yet been put back in place.

With such a fat body, he threw it effortlessly.

Suddenly, there was chaos and shouting of chickens and dogs.

The seven or eight roosters and hens that had been huddled together for warmth suddenly became excited and flew around in the chicken coop, flapping their wings.

He was so frightened that he pooped all over the floor.

Zeng Xia was thrown so hard that all his bones were broken, his face was covered with chicken feathers, and he screamed in pain. When he supported himself with his hands, he felt a handful of chicken shit, and his cheeks turned green immediately, and he screamed even louder.

The incident happened so suddenly that everyone's jaw dropped and no one could react.

Just when the yard was quiet, the children's cheerful laughter suddenly rang out.

“Hahahahahaha, haha…”

Lao Wu covered his stomach, pointed at the disheveled Zeng Xia, and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.

The second brother put his hand on his shoulder to prevent him from falling, but did not stop him. Even a rare smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The manager who was showing off just now is in trouble now. Isn't it worth them to laugh at him?

Then, the boss pointed at Zeng Xia and laughed loudly, saying, "Hahaha, look at that chicken feather on his head. Does it look like the guy who sells himself with a straw tag?"

Guyu took a look and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Even the calmest Bai Lu couldn't help laughing. She suppressed the smile on her lips, walked to the side of the fierce general, knelt down and bowed, and asked, "May I ask who you are and why are you here?"

The man was strong and sturdy, but she was not afraid.

Not everyone can enter the princess's mansion. He was able to come in, and even entered Zhufeng Courtyard, and even dared to hurt people. He must be a person of status.

The fierce general looked down at Bai Lu, feeling somewhat surprised, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Ordinary people would retreat when they saw him, but the servants in the yard all looked at him with fear. But this delicate young lady, whose waist was so thin that it might break if pinched, dared to come forward and ask.

Bai Lu stood up and said with a smile, "Your Excellency has not responded to me yet."

The general felt embarrassed by her smile, scratched his face and said, "I am Hu Yanjin, and I am here on the orders of the Prince Consort to deliver a message to Her Royal Highness the Princess, that..."

At this point, he looked at the already messy yard, which had become even more messy because of him. He realized it belatedly and said, "Ah, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't expect he was so resistant to falls."

Zeng Xia hasn't gotten up yet, and his face turned even paler when he heard this.

He didn't mean to fall like this, but what would happen if he did it on purpose?

Among the servants in the courtyard, Bai Lu was the most sober-minded. She looked at Hu Yanjin and said, "It turned out to be General Hu Yan. If you are delivering a message to our master, why did you come to Zhufeng Courtyard?"

With just one sentence, Hu Yanjin was speechless.

Of course, he was thinking about the children in Zhufeng Courtyard. After entering the door, he asked the person leading the way to report to Her Royal Highness the Princess first. He turned around, grabbed a servant to lead the way, and went to see the children first.

This reason alone is reasonable but not rational.

How could a servant, upon entering the house, not first pay his respects to the mistress, but instead sneak away to see the concubines' sons and daughters first?

It would have been fine if he had just watched it secretly, but he made such a big fuss, so he couldn't keep it secret.

Seeing that Bai Lu had made this powerful general lose his arrogance with just one sentence, Guyu secretly applauded her.

Hu Yanjin was sent to deliver the message, so he is not a stupid person.

He touched his chin and an idea came to his mind. He walked a few steps to the pile of materials, bent down, picked up one of the red bricks, weighed it, and then squeezed it.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, a good piece of red brick was crushed into powder by him and fell from between his fingers.

Everyone took a deep breath in their hearts, and Zeng Xia even shrank his neck, wondering which one was harder, his head or the red brick.

Seeing that he had successfully diverted the focus, Hu Yanjin smiled triumphantly and said, "It's not that I'm strong, the little guy just said it right, none of these things are useful!"

As he spoke, he picked up a log and broke it into two pieces without even trying hard.

His strength was indeed far beyond that of an ordinary person, but he really didn't use much strength.

When everyone looked closely, they found that the wood was hollow in the middle, as if it had been eaten away by insects at some point in time. They immediately turned their eyes to Zeng Xia who was still struggling in the chicken coop.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zeng Xia's face turned dejected.

He could ignore the words of a servant and use his power to suppress and slander him.

But how could the prince consort's retainers listen to him?

Zeng Xia couldn't help but blame himself for not checking the almanac before going out. He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money, but he didn't expect that the White Dew and Grain Rain would come first, and then this unreasonable and reckless man would appear.

How could so many distinguished persons have come to such a mere Zhufeng Courtyard?

He was just a manager in the outer courtyard, and the rumor that "things are going to change in the princess's mansion" had not yet reached his ears.

"In that case, please trouble General Huyan to bear witness for us," Bai Lu said, "Take this audacious steward back to Huamu Hall and report to the Princess for instructions."

"Eh?"

Hu Yanjin was assigned a task without knowing why. He scratched his face again and said resignedly, "Okay."

He came to Zhufeng Court without permission, so he was in the wrong first.

Bai Lu saw that Lai Bao's clothes were still wet, and gave several orders in succession:

"Laibao, go change your clothes and come to Huamu Hall as a witness."

"These foods are what the Fifth Young Master likes, and His Highness specially gave them to him. The clothes are all newly bought, so please wear them first. You won't need them after the new clothes are made in the embroidery room."

Bai Lu looked at the servants who came with Zeng Xia and said coldly, "You guys, tie them up yourselves and follow me to Hua Mu Hall to plead guilty."

She and Guyu only came to deliver things and did not bring Jianfu with them.

Then he looked at the cook who was watching the fun and asked, "What are you still standing there for? It's almost time for dinner. Is the water boiling on the stove? What are the young masters and young ladies going to eat tonight?"

After a few words, the people in the yard immediately went their own way and dispersed. Huyan Jin escorted Zeng Xia and his group to Huamu Hall in a mighty manner.

While there was chaos here, Huamu Hall, which was far away from Zhufeng Courtyard, was peaceful and quiet.

Since the eldest princess was resting, Xiao's mother and daughter could only wait quietly in the corridor.

Zhou Qinghe looked at Manager Wang who was kneeling on the bluestone slab, his face extremely pale.
