Chapter 120: A Loyal Servant Protects His Master, His Life Hangs on a Thread
A fierce kicking of the door sounded, and Yanglinghou and his wife looked at each other and smiled, feeling extremely happy in their hearts.
In the past two months, since Shen Qing's temperament changed drastically, they have been either feeling depressed or on the way to feeling depressed. Now that they can finally feel proud and proud, they feel extremely comfortable.
The movement outside the door soon reached Hibiscus.
Now that Shen Qing and several personal maids are not in the mansion, the only second-class maid in Tinglan Courtyard who can make decisions is Mu Jin.
When she just heard that Yangling Hou and his wife were coming this way, Mu Jin made a quick decision and asked the porter to lock the courtyard door, just thinking that she could hold on for a while longer.
Mu Jin looked at the panicked concierge maid, "Have you sent messages to Guard Chen and Aunt Qiu?"
The concierge maid nodded, "Send them all over. If nothing else happens, the two of them should be here soon."
The only people Shen Qing knew well in the Yangling Marquis Mansion were Aunt Qiu and Chen Huwei, and Qin Luan was actually one of them. However, she was going to give birth in the next few days, and Mu Jin was afraid of causing trouble, so she did not send the news to Fuchundang.
Mu Jin stood up and walked towards the entrance of Tinglan Courtyard.
She knew very well that the door would not be able to stop Yanglinghou and his wife for long.
She didn't know where Shen Qing was now, but as long as she was alive, she would do her best to protect Shen Qing's things.
As soon as Mu Jin walked not far from the door, the door was violently knocked open by several boys. There was a "bang" and the two doors smashed into the courtyard at the same time, sending up large amounts of smoke and dust.
After the smoke and dust dispersed, Yanglinghou and his wife walked into the courtyard side by side, with the proud posture of victors on their faces.
The two of them walked straight towards Shen Qing's small warehouse without taking another look at Hibiscus.
Seeing the intentions of the two people clearly, Mu Jin took a step forward and stopped in front of them, "Master Marquis, madam, the young lady is not in the courtyard now. If there is anything that happens to Mrs. Marquis, my servant can convey it to you."
Madam Yanglinghou then took another look at the little maid in front of her and sneered: "What kind of status do you have, do you dare to stop me?"
Mu Jin was fully clothed and her voice was very steady, "I am the second-class maid beside the young lady. When the young lady left, she handed over the entire Tinglan Courtyard to my servant."
Mujin delayed as much time as possible, waiting for Chen Qi and Aunt Qiu to arrive.
However, Mu Jin was just a maid, and she spoke lightly, and Mrs. Yanglinghou believed that Shen Qing was dead, so she didn't pay attention to Shen Qing at all. When she saw her turning to look at Zhang's mother, the sound in her voice Full of disdain from a superior, "Mother Zhang, let this ignorant little girl know the consequences of contradicting me."
Mother Zhang understood, nodded towards Mrs. Yanglinghou, and then walked towards Mujin.
The sharp slap fell hard. Mu Jin's face was calm, and she did not dodge or evade, and allowed Mother Zhang to slap her.
Ten loud slaps fell in succession, blood flowed from the corner of Hibiscus's mouth, and her cheeks were red and swollen.
Zhang's mother spat out "cheesy bones" again before walking back to Madam Yanglinghou's side arrogantly.
Seeing that Mu Jin had lost her original appearance, Madam Yanglinghou felt even more comfortable. She stopped embarrassing Mu Jin and walked towards Shen Qing's small warehouse again.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jin stopped in front of her again, her voice full of determination, "Madam, in front of you is the young lady's small warehouse. The young lady has ordered that no one is allowed to come near."
Mrs. Yanglinghou suddenly laughed angrily, "It seems that the beating was too gentle. Mother Zhang, come and teach her what the rules are!"
After saying that, he and Marquis Yangling sat down on the stone bench aside, obviously planning to teach Mu Jin a lesson before taking Shen Qing's dowry.
Since he couldn't see Shen Qing's death with his own eyes, he attacked the girls under her command, which was considered a bad breath for Madam Yanglinghou.
And this just happened to take advantage of Hibiscus's wishes.
Mother Zhang stepped forward again, slapping Hibiscus and scolding: "I see that your little bitch is really spoiled by the young lady. You even dare to contradict the young lady. If I don't kill half of your life today, I will be sorry to the madam." Trust me!"
Mu Jin said nothing and allowed Mother Zhang to beat and scold her. However, her peripheral vision drifted toward the door, but she turned it back in disappointment.
Guard Chen and Aunt Qiu hadn't come over yet, but she could hardly hold on any longer.
At this time, Mother Zhang slapped her hard, and Hibiscus fell directly to the side, but the next moment she staggered up again, looking coldly into Mother Zhang's eyes, refusing to give in no matter what.
When Zhang's mother was tired from beating her, she suggested to Mrs. Yanglinghou: "Madam, these little hooves are really resistant to beatings. She can't be beaten by a slap at all. Why don't we change her to a cane?"
Mrs. Yanglinghou also felt tired of being slapped, so she agreed to Zhang's mother's suggestion.
The boy on the side brought a torture stool and a board, and then forced Mu Jin onto it.
As soon as the board went down, Hibiscus felt that her bones were about to break. She bit her lip hard to prevent herself from shouting.
The boy saw that Mrs. Yanglinghou was determined to teach Mu Jin a lesson, so he immediately wanted to lay the second plan. Fortunately, Aunt Qiu came in time and said, "Stop!"
Aunt Qiu quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Yanglinghou and his wife, while Mu Lingxi pushed the executioner away and helped Mu Jin down.
"Master Marquis, madam, you are just a girl, why are you so angry?"
Without Mrs. Yanglinghou speaking, Yanglinghou became angry first, "Qiuyi! Look who you are talking to! How dare you challenge me for a maid?"
It can be said that Qiu Yushi has made a lot of efforts to make Yanglinghou what he is today, so Yanglinghou and Aunt Qiu are extremely disgusted.
Aunt Qiu lowered her head slightly, but her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "I don't dare. I just feel that now that the young lady is not in the house, the Marquis and his wife are beating her girl like this. When the young lady comes back, I am afraid that she will not Good ending.”
Marquis Yangling scolded: "What does Shen Qing's matter have to do with you? Go back to your Qiyun Courtyard!"
Marquis Yangling still didn't dare to attack Aunt Qiu, not because he couldn't bear it, but because he was afraid that Qiu Yushi would call his colleagues to participate in his book again. In that case, he would really have no hope of returning to the court.
The anger in his heart could not be dissipated. Yanglinghou looked at Hibiscus, who had only a few breaths left, and issued a death order: "Give this girl to me to kill with a stick!"
Aunt Qiu and Mu Lingxi were forcibly pulled apart, and Mu Jin was pressed onto the execution bench again. The finger-thick board fell again, and Mu Jin vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.
The boy was about to take action, but saw a flash of light in front of his eyes, and the board in his hand had been knocked to the ground.
It's Chen Qi.
As the head of a palace, he wanted to kill a girl with a stick but was thwarted twice. Yanglinghou immediately became angry, "Chen Qi, don't forget, I am your master!"
Chen Qi clasped his fists towards Marquis Yangling, "The Marquis is right. The Marquis is indeed my subordinate's master, but the young lady's people must also be protected by my subordinates."
Yangling Marquis immediately pointed angrily at Chen Qi: "I see that you really want to rebel! Do you believe it or not, I will directly destroy your whole family!"
Without Shen Qing's blessing, it would be impossible for Chen Qi to compete with Yang Linghou.
However, despite this, Chen Qi still had no intention of backing down, "If Lord Marquis is not happy with his subordinates, he will definitely resign on his own initiative after the young lady comes back."
Marquis Yangling had a lump in his throat and looked at the other guards behind Chen Qi, "What about you? Do you want to collude with Chen Qihang? I advise you to think clearly. As long as I send you back, the entire Shengjing family will not If I hire you again, you will be reduced to the lowest level of servants!"
The guards knew that Marquis Yangling was not exaggerating. As a Marquis of the dynasty, if Marquis Yangling wanted to torment these guards, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
The treatment of guards and servants is very different. No one is willing to give up his identity as a guard to become a servant.
Some people began to defect.
With the first one, there will soon be a second one.
In the end, only a few people were left standing behind Chen Qi.
Marquis Yangling smiled triumphantly, and just as he was about to taunt, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him, "Tsk, I haven't returned home for two days, is my Tinglan Courtyard so lively?"
