Chapter 40 Looking for Trouble

When the right word was uttered, Shang Yuding smiled.

There was a bit of disgust and unwillingness in the smile.

"It's not my son. I'm planning something for him. Besides, since when did dad consider me the eldest son of the fifth family? Don't I just look up to the second son and the fifth son every day? I'm going to join in the fun. "

After saying that, he tossed his sleeves and left.

When he went out, he slammed the door to show his dissatisfaction.

He was so frightened that his wife, Mrs. Guo, who was standing behind him, was trembling and looked at her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, uneasily.

His eyes were full of pleas for help.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu waved her hands impatiently, not liking this eldest daughter-in-law at all.

The ashen-faced Mrs. Guo could only follow her husband and leave the main room of Yingjuan Courtyard.

Not long after, there was the sound of crackling and smashing and Guo's wails and pleas for help.

But the entire Yingjuan Courtyard seemed to be used to it, and they were all very indifferent to this sound.

After all, she had no children but only three daughters, but she had committed a big "taboo".

It would be nice if she could still have a way to survive and live in the Duke's mansion.

Therefore, it doesn't seem to matter if you are occasionally hit or scolded by your husband.

However, Mrs. Wu was feeling sad at the moment and said to Mother Li who had been waiting for her for many years.

"After this matter is over, go to Mrs. Wei and ask for thirty taels of silver, and give five taels to Qi Er's family so that he can be buried safely."

"Yes, I know."

As for the remaining twenty-five taels, they will naturally go into Mrs. Wu’s private treasury.

After all, the whole family is waiting for expenses. Shouldn't it be said that the Wulang family's daughter-in-law is also pregnant?

Therefore, having more money around you can also bring some benefits to these great-grandchildren who are about to be born.

He raised his head and looked inside the room. Although there were no people who were fasting without medical treatment, it was still far behind Yunjin Courtyard, the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

There was dissatisfaction and unwillingness in my heart.

So I hope that the husbands, sons and grandsons who went to make trouble can earn something for Wufang and come back.

Here, only the tip of the iceberg of the discord in the five rooms is revealed.

On the other side, the three grandparents and grandchildren of the fifth house, together with their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, took many servants and the body of Manager Qi Er and rushed towards Dongyuan in a menacing manner.

With that posture, no one would believe him if he said he was not trying to stir up trouble.

Wherever a group of people go, insects, fish, birds and beasts must avoid them.

After bypassing several moon gates and paths, in about a quarter of an hour, they all stood at the gate of Dongyuan.

Although the fifth old man is older, he is not as "impaired in mobility" as the third old man.

He shouted loudly to the inside.

"Where is Liulang's wife? Call her out quickly! My husband has been beaten to death, and she is still sleeping peacefully in there? I'm not afraid that God will not see her and strike her to death with lightning! It's good that everything in Dongyuan is gone. Menkefu has a good reputation as a wife!"

What he says is always unpleasant.

In his words, he not only scolded Shang Ji and Du Jingyi.

They also scolded the sister-in-law Liu in Dongyuan and the still-unmarried Xue Niang.

This is not the first time he has been so merciless.

Therefore, the two young men guarding the gate of Dongyuan did not have much expression on their faces, but their eyes were a little more angry.

Soon, Uncle He, who was in charge, came out with more than ten boys working in Dongyuan.

There was a smile on his face, but he was already filled with fear and hostility in his heart.

And the boys following him all had serious faces.

All of them have some physical skills, so of course they are not afraid of those soft-legged crabs brought by Wufang.

As soon as Butler He came forward, many of the servants from the fifth room flinched slightly.

Ever since Mrs. Wei took charge of the backyard, Butler He had stepped down from the position of chief steward who had previously been in charge of the whole family.

But this does not mean that the remaining power he once had has also disappeared.

Although they rarely come into contact with the people and things in Dongyuan on weekdays, they still feel a little frightened when they see this former general manager.

The Fifth Old Master has never put people in his eyes, so naturally he cannot see the fear of the people behind him towards Butler He.

So he rolled his eyes and said.

"Hey, what's the point of sending a watchdog here? What I want to see is Liu Lang's wife, the Du family!"

When Butler He heard this, his smile became even brighter.

He quickly said in a roundabout way.

"What happened? To make the fifth old master so angry? So early in the morning, so angry? My young lady hasn't gotten up yet. If she is disturbed from her dream, she will look for us servants again when the general comes back. No, please be kind to the fifth old master and leave a way for us servants to survive. "

Butler He's words sounded like he was begging the fifth old lady to show her favor, but in reality, he was just trying to beat the people who followed him.

In the past, when they made trouble, things were somewhat better.

After all, everyone in the hospital can see clearly what Mrs. Wei is thinking.

But things are different now.

The general is back, and he is still powerful and can reach the sky.

If they really seek trouble, I'm afraid the first ones to suffer will be the servants like them who followed.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Blind's legs became weak and he didn't dare to make any more noise.

Shang Yu'an and Shang Wulang and his son looked at each other, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

They came to make trouble today just to get something, such as Shang Wulang's job.

But what the housekeeper He said was right. If Shang Ji was really mad and other troubles arose, wouldn't it be more trouble than gain?

So, Shang Wulang stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of his grandfather, Wu Lao Taiye, and said comfortingly.

"Grandfather, calm down. We are just here to ask my brother and sister-in-law about something. Don't let people think we are here to cause trouble, right?"

Wu Lao Taiye looked back at his grandson, and when he saw him shake his head slightly, his anger subsided a lot.

So he snorted and said.

"What time is it? Liu Lang's wife still hasn't gotten up? Go and get her to come. We'll wait! I'm not going to leave until I see her today. If she doesn't fear the reputation of being a mean elder who persecutes servants, she should just hide and die."

He has always been a scoundrel, and the older he gets, the more so.

Butler He had also been with Madam Gu for many years, so he naturally knew what kind of person the Fifth Old Master was.

So, after thinking about it, he was about to reply when he saw someone coming from behind.

Madam Dou came over with a serious look on her face, bowed simply to the Fifth Old Master, and then said.

"When the young lady heard that someone from the Fifth Room had come, she asked me to invite you to wait in the flower hall. The young lady will go and talk to you in person in a while."
