Yun had no intention or right to interfere in the affairs of the Xiahou clan, so she bowed to the three elders of the Xiahou clan.

"My three uncles, the emperor has issued an order for me to move out of the mansion within three days. Time is running out now. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"That...this..."

The three elders looked at each other, as if they had something difficult to say.

Yun Shi was very smart, and she knew what the Third Elder wanted to say without having to guess. But at this time, she had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Three uncles, is there anything else?"

Seeing that Yun was about to leave, he could not care about much. The third uncle shook his old face and said.

"It's like this, Madam. Every year, the Marquis' Mansion sends three thousand taels of silver to the old house for the clan's sacrifices and clan school. But this year's silver has not been delivered yet, so I am shamelessly asking."

What? Three thousand taels?

Before Yun could say anything, Xiahou Wenyuan was shocked by this number.

No, wasn't it agreed that it would be 1,500 taels per year? How come the old man just moved his lips and turned it into 3,000 taels? Why don't you go and rob it!

What he didn't know was that when Yun first took over the family, he gave 1,500 taels as a gift according to custom.

However, there are many children in the old family school. Apart from the money used for sacrifices and offerings during the annual festivals, there is not much money left for the family school.

Moreover, some of the elderly people in the old house had no one to rely on, which was very pitiful. So she took out another part of her dowry and collected 3,000 taels to send to the old house.

In this way, the homeless elderly, as well as orphans and widows in the clan can also get some relief and get on with their lives.

The third uncle was also a beneficiary, so he had a very good impression of the Yun mother and son.

But now, they have divorced, and Yun is too lazy to explain the ins and outs of the three thousand taels of silver.

She smiled lightly and said calmly, "Third Uncle, I have already said that Marquis Zhongyi and I have divorced. The matter of the Youyang old house has nothing to do with me.

You can find the current head of the Marquis's Mansion and withdraw the money."

Third Uncle's face turned red and he continued to play the victim.

"I have written letters and asked for them several times, but till now, not even one or two have been delivered. I can hardly hold on in the clan school, so I have the nerve to come to the Marquis's mansion.

In previous years, Madam always sent it in advance, so…"

"I don't know about that. I haven't been in charge of the family for a long time. Third Uncle, I really have something else to do. I'll take my leave first."

Yun declined completely. She didn't want to talk to the three elders any more, so she bowed and said goodbye.

She turned around, holding the flowers, and returned to Weilan Garden with the maids and servants.

As soon as I entered Weilan Garden, I saw Cuizhi and others packing up their things. There were also a few unfamiliar faces who were busy working.

When Cuizhi saw her, she ran over excitedly.

"Madam, you are back. We have received the news and are busy packing up now!

Aunt Zhao was worried that we didn't have enough manpower, so she transferred some people from the shops outside to help us clean up Weilan Garden and the warehouse."

Cuizhi said that those unfamiliar people must have been transferred by Madam Zhao. She turned around and looked around, but she didn't see Madam Zhao.

"Where is Aunt Zhao?"

"Oh, Madam Zhao took some people to the storeroom to sort it out. She said that this place is of great importance, and she has to keep an eye on it personally to make sure that none of Madam's things are left in the Marquis' Mansion."

Yun smiled. This old nanny had always treated her as her own daughter and couldn't bear to see her suffer any harm.

Now, knowing that she was going to escape from the sea of ​​suffering, she did not set off two strings of firecrackers at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, which was already quite restrained.

"Alas, this old fellow has been gone for quite a while. He should come back and report what happened."

Cuizhi was mumbling when Xiaowuer ran in in a panic. When he saw Cuizhi, he didn't even bother to catch his breath and grabbed her arm.

"Sister Cuizhi, it's bad. There's a fight going on in the warehouse. Please send some people over to provide support."

Ah! A fight has begun.

This scared Yun, and she called Xiao Wuer over to question him.

"Why did the fight start? Who were the ones fighting?"

"Madam, the ones fighting were Madam Zhao and the old lady. Madam Zhao took people to take inventory and pack the warehouse, but she never expected that the old lady and the eldest lady got there first.

They had pried open the lock of the storeroom and moved a lot of things. When Aunt Zhao saw them, she called them robbers and they started fighting after a disagreement.

Yun didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The shamelessness of the Xiahou family directly broke her bottom line.

The plan failed, so she decided to rob. Fortunately, she thought ahead and moved the small and valuable items to the house in the south of the city in advance.

There were only some large items left in the warehouse. Those that were inconvenient to move were originally planned to be moved openly after the divorce was successful.

Since the Xiahou family is shameless, she will completely beat them back to their original form.

Worried about the safety of Madam Zhao, Yun called Tingyu and selected a few people to go to the warehouse together.

"As a noble mansion, you still do such things as breaking into houses and picking locks to steal valuables. Do you still have any shame?"

This was Madam Zhao's voice, very rough but strong, and Yun felt slightly relieved.

"How dare you say that? Didn't that bitch from the Yun family always say that my mansion was plotting against her dowry? Humph, she hid these few heavy and space-consuming items like treasures. She is such a worldly bitch."

The voice was sharp and sarcastic. As soon as Yun heard it, she knew it was that person.

"You are a bitch, your whole family is a bitch."

Aunt Zhao was obviously angry. The next second, the quarrel started again, along with the hurried sounds of maids and servants trying to separate the two.

Oh my god, there is a 99% chance that they will start fighting again.

"Tingyu, go and take a look quickly, don't let Madam Zhao suffer any more harm.

This is the Marquis' Mansion, and the place is full of Marquis's people. No matter how strong Nanny Zhao is, she can't fight four hands with her two fists, and she will be the one who suffers.

"Yes, mother."

Tingyu responded. He was very good at light work and with a few leaps, he arrived at the door of the warehouse.

Sure enough, Nanny Zhao and Old Lady Xiahou started a quarrel again.

Tingyu descended from the sky, holding one in each hand, and easily separated the two people who were fighting each other. He then held them by the back of the neck to prevent them from touching each other again.

"Yu'er, you're back. Where's the lady?"

"You little bastard, put me down now. I am your grandmother, and you are committing treason..."

Two voices sounded at the same time, but one was concerned and the other was cursing.

As they were talking, Yun had already arrived. Seeing the tall and strong Tingyu catching one chick at a time like an eagle catching chicks, she wanted to laugh.

She was worried about Aunt Zhao. She saw blood at the corner of her mouth, which must be the injury she suffered during the fight.

Old Madam Xiahou's injuries were even more serious. Her face was bruised and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding. She was held by Tingyu, and she kept cursing.

Yun was far away and couldn't hear clearly what she was cursing.

"Miss, you're back. Put me down, you little brat."
