That night, just as he was about to go to bed, he heard a loud noise outside the door. It turned out that it was Zhao Yuanzhi and a group of women and maidservants who had come to stir up some trouble.
A few days ago, Zhao Yuanzhi had learned that Chu Yu had cast spells in the manor. She was skeptical and did not dare to go straight to Yu Xing to find the culprit. After all, when they fought previously, it was always like stealing a chicken or eating rice. This time, Zhao Yuanzhi was more cautious and ordered her trusted aides to investigate.
Tonight, one of Zhao Yuanzhi's trusted aides had reported to her that she had investigated the matter, confirmed that the rumors were true, and that she had indeed set a spell within the palace. Furthermore, she had found a witness.
Zhao Yuanzhi was overjoyed. This was the best chance she could get. She smiled coldly, her lips curving into a cruel smile.
"It's more than that. You little slut, you've finally got some information from me. Even if the heavens are willing to help you, you'll still be doomed this time!"
The art of enchantment was a serious crime. As long as he could find evidence, he was not afraid to quibble. At that time, even if the government wanted to protect her, there was nothing they could do about it.
The opportunity must not be lost, never lost again. Zhao Yuanzhi and her men rushed to the Wutong Courtyard in a hurry, eager to find evidence that would kill them.
"Madam, Eldest Miss has already gone to bed. Please go back." Xiao Lan blocked the entrance of the Wutong Courtyard and slightly bowed. Her face was respectful, but her voice did not carry any warmth.
"You little hoof, even if Madame wants to go in, you still dare to stop her." one of the women behind Zhao Yuanzhi scolded.
"No one is allowed to disturb Eldest Miss when she goes to bed. This servant is the young miss's servant, so naturally, everything has to be done first. " Xiao Lan's tone was clear and without a trace of fear.
Zhao Yuanzhi's expression changed, and a trace of hatred flashed across her eyes.
"Get out of the way."
"Madam, please return. Don't make things difficult for this servant." Xiao Lan stretched out her hands and blocked the door. Her tone was exceptionally firm.
"This is against the heavens! Someone, come and give this lady a good beating!" Zhao Yuanzhi's expression changed, and she became furious.
The group of servants and servants rushed towards Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan's face instantly turned ice-cold, and everyone couldn't help but take a step back. Xiao Lan's gaze was too terrifying, the hostility in her eyes could kill.
Xiao Lan wouldn't be afraid of them if they started a fight with them, and it wouldn't be a problem for her to take care of them in her own free time. However, since she was by their side and couldn't be identified, she could only intimidate them with her gaze.
"What are you all standing around for? Call me." Zhao Yuanzhi was so angry that she could not help but gnash her teeth.
Since a servant dared to obstruct her, she was even more certain that the little slut was going to cast a spell.
The other maidservants were a little afraid, but they dared not disobey Zhao Zhi's order. They once again surrounded Shi Mu.
"You little hoof, look for a beating!" With Zhao Yuanzhi supporting her from behind, Mrs Liu rushed over with a stern face, and slapped him across the face.
Xiao Lan could have avoided it, but before she moved, she heard footsteps behind her and changed her mind.
"Pa!" Five bright red finger prints appeared on Xiao Lan's face.
Xiao Lan's mouth twitched, covering half of her face, her eyes became cold as she stared at Liu's mother.
Liu's mother was shocked, her face turned pale, and she unconsciously took half a step back.
"What are you looking at? She's just a lowly maid, are you afraid of her?" "Everyone forward." Zhao Yuanzhi was furious.
Everyone gathered their courage and rushed over, attacking Xiao Lan with all their might.
Xiao Lan's pupils suddenly constricted. Her body dodged, but she was still hit by the crowd to several parts of her body. She fiercely pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and held it horizontally at her throat as she sneered, "If Madam wants to force this servant again, this servant will only die. By then, the one who won't be able to win will be Madam."
A hint of panic appeared on Zhao Yuanzhi's face. If this matter got out of hand, it would be difficult to explain even to the government.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"Xiao Lan, put down your dagger, don't hurt yourself." Fewer than the person who arrived, the voice came first.
Xiao Lan turned her head and saw Chu Yu walking over. The footsteps just now were naturally emitted by their young miss as well.
She quickly put down her dagger and retreated behind Yu Yu.
"Mother, it's late at night and you're gathering so many people. Is there something you need?" He had never been so idle as to ask Zhao Yuanzhi the question in a tone that was neither cold nor hot.
"Eldest Miss, is there any place in the Prime Minister's estate that I can't go to?" Zhao Yuanzhi's face was livid. She glanced at Yue Yuanzhi and snorted a few words.
"Mother laughed. In this estate, mother is the matriarch. Naturally, we are able to live here unhindered. " Fewer than a faint response.
Zhao Yuanzhi snorted coldly and took a step forward, her gaze falling on her face. "If that's the case, then of course I can enter this courtyard." "Child, get out of the way."
"Mother, forgive our daughter for not being able to obey." He raised his head slightly and spoke coldly.
Zhao Yuanzhi's face immediately darkened, and she yelled with furrowed eyebrows, "Don't be a fool!"
"Mother, there is naturally no place in this mansion that you cannot go." But, this Wutong Garden is my birth mother's residence. "Mother, don't forget, his mother is the first wife of the Prime Minister. She must be respected and orderly, mother should understand this, right?" Yu Yu's face was gloomy, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You!" Zhao Yuanzhi's expression suddenly changed. She pointed her finger at Yuanzhi and was so angry that she couldn't even speak. Her greatest taboo was the mention of the Xie Clan, especially the fact that she had married into the Yu Clan as a concubine. To Zhao Yuanzhi, this was the greatest disgrace and humiliation.
The ruckus at the Wutong Courtyard was seldom heard by the government. When he rushed over, both sides were in a state of tension.
"Nonsense, what the hell is going on?" Yucheng looked at the crowd and asked in a calm voice.
"Master, someone has set a spell in the manor." Zhao Yuanzhi pointed at Yu Yu. Without waiting for Yu Yu to reply, she answered first.
"Mother, don't slander me." Yu Yu's expression darkened as he stared coldly at Zhao Yuanzhi.
"Madam, this is no small matter. We can't wrongly accuse you." Yu Cheng's heart trembled. This incantation was a spell. Even within the Wu Country, it was different from a child's play.
Zhao Yuanzhi pointed to a Daoist nun behind her and said, "Master, how dare I speak carelessly without evidence? "This old woman is the one who rarely buys the money to cast the curse on the master.
The old woman came out and pointed.
"Master, Madam, it was the eldest miss of your house who asked me to do this. "She gave a servant quite a bit of silver taels, which is precisely to say that she hated winning against the Prime Minister."
Gedeng, his face changed. He had actually cast a spell on him?
His face was abnormally ugly. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the fresh air. "Are you serious?"
