Chapter 282: Old Madam Li Is a Remarkable Woman!

y.At this time, the guests had just arrived, the front wasn't crowded, and the granary was relatively quiet.Li Laoer was also delighted to see Mr. Wen, and naturally everything went smoothly. Several...Wang E covered her ear that was bleeding profusely, rolling on the ground in pain and crying out, "Help! Doctor, quickly find me a doctor!"

Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention. In fact, whenever she got close to someone, they would move away from her.

She now looks like a humanoid pile of excrement, truly hideous and disgusting.

"You should be grateful," Li Laotai spat viciously, "that the emperor's grace is vast and the law is merciless, stepping in to rule our Li family. Otherwise, I truly would have devoured you piece by piece!"

After finishing her words, she walked toward a few officials and took out a silver ingot to slip them. "Several officers, I've caused you trouble. Please accept this for tea on the way. Thank you for your hard work."

How could any official dare to accept it

On the one hand, they also looked down on Wang E. They were happy when Wang E was beaten.

Secondly, this old lady sliced her ears with a knife without batting an eyelid. They were definitely uneasy inside.

"Aunty, you're too kind. We can't accept this silver…"

"Here you go, sir. The road is long, so buy some food and drink along the way."

The old woman insisted on shoving it past, then patted her skirt and didn't look at Wang E again, twisting onto the carriage.

The carriage immediately turned around and left, leaving the crowd buzzing with discussion.

“This Mrs. Li is really something else!”

"Your son was murdered so horribly, you'd be just as capable!"

"That's right, the old lady still cares about her grandson, otherwise she probably would have wanted to kill Wang E."

A widowed mother brought up four children. She finally managed to get one of them successful, but he disappeared for over a decade. The old woman suffered countless hardships.

"Hahaha, look at Wang E, she looks like maggots in a cesspit!"

"Serves her right! Just now she said we didn't have the qualifications to fight her, and now look, she's been beaten by the most qualified person!"

"What a relief!"

"Old Mrs. Li is a clever woman! She's afraid of lightning striking the wrong person, so she made a mark for Wang E!"

Officials see more than ordinary people, and their eyes are sharp. Although the carriage looked ordinary, the emblem hanging on it belonged to the Xinting Hou Mansion.

This Li family matriarch actually came to take revenge by riding in a carriage from the Marquis's mansion. To have such a powerful backer...

Several people exchanged glances, and they all understood what needed to be done.

They whipped her and dragged Wang E along, continuing to walk outside the city.

Wang E reeked of filth, clutching her still-bleeding ear. She truly wished she could die right then and there.

At this moment, she couldn't tell if she regretted not stopping her father from doing evil all those years ago, or if she regretted not confessing sooner and treating her husband's illness. Maybe she was just feeling miserable, so she cried the whole way, her nose running and tears streaming down her face.

Unfortunately, not a single person in the entire city showed her any pity!

Without speaking, Wang E began her journey of tragic exile. The carriage from the Hou residence rolled forward, but for a long while, there was silence within the carriage.

Lao Li thought her actions had frightened the Marquis and his granddaughter, so she tentatively asked, "Did I go too far just now"

The Marquis immediately shook his head, only managing to utter two words, "No."

The old woman let out a long sigh of relief. Turning her head, she saw that her granddaughter's face was flushed red. She was startled and quickly asked, "Funiu, what's wrong Where are you uncomfortable"

She reached out to hug her granddaughter, but Jia Yin dodged straight into the Marquis's arms, "Grandma smells too bad!"

The old woman instinctively lowered her head and sniffed, and then she also vomited, "Quick, open the window for ventilation, my goodness, it's only been a few days of sun, these eggs are too smelly!"

The sense of satisfaction from just smashing it was undeniable, and the eggs inevitably splattered onto her skirt.

The space inside the carriage was small, and the stench was even more intense.

The two generations leaned out of the car window, as if they wanted to stick their heads out. The only one left without a place to hide was the lord, who couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Even though seeking revenge is a weighty matter, this pair of ancestors and descendants have a knack for adding such a humorous twist to the ending!

Ye Shan, sitting on the carriage, heard the laughter of the Marquis and smiled along.

It's been so many years since I've heard the Marquis laugh like this!

It's great to have the Li family around. The Marquis is living more and more like a real person...

Soon, the carriage arrived at the Hou Mansion's gate. Ye Shan jumped down from the carriage and shouted to the two doormen who came out to greet him, "Open the gate!"

Two doormen were taken aback for a moment, but they quickly got to work. The door, which had been closed for a long time, creaked open.

The steward hurried over upon hearing the news and asked, "What's happened Has an imperial decree arrived"

Normally, people enter and exit through the side gate. The main gate is only opened when imperial messengers arrive at the palace, or when receiving elders, or during grand banquets to entertain guests.

But the Hou Mansion had no elders and had never held a large banquet for guests. The imperial edict was even sent directly to the Marquis, rarely delivered to the Hou Mansion.

Therefore, this door has always been almost like a decoration.

I can't believe today actually opened!

Before the doorman could respond, the head steward had already reached the door and saw the lord dismount his carriage, supporting an elderly woman and carrying a young girl.

He hurried forward to greet them, "Oh my, Madam and Miss, you've arrived! It's wonderful!"

Li Lao Tai nodded and smiled at the head steward, saying: "Head Steward, it's been a long time."

Jia Yin also greeted with a smile, "Hello, Butler."

"No, no, Miss. You are too kind to me." The head steward hurried to bow, showing great humility.

Last time, the old woman and the little girl came because of those people like Huaruyue. He even dared to accept the title "uncle" back then. Now that it's the Marquis himself who has come, how could he possibly dare to accept

The Marquis asked, "Is everything alright at the manor"

"Rest assured, Lord Hou. Everything is fine. It's just that everyone knows Lord Hou is injured and misses him."

The steward smiled and supported Old Madam Li, leading the way ahead. He whispered some major and minor events of the Hou Mansion.

It's just because the Lord was injured, some people sent medicinal herbs and other things.

The lord listened with a faint expression, occasionally giving simple instructions.

In this way, they arrived at the main courtyard. Many servants had already heard the news and rushed to attend to them.

Especially the dozen or so maids under the eaves, each in a light green dress, goose-yellow jacket, delicate like spring flowers.

They saw the Marquis, their eyes shining with admiration, but they didn't forget to bow respectfully and greet him, perfectly displaying their delicate figures and gentle, affectionate voices.

One of the most beautiful, with charming eyes and eyebrows, wore a pink dress and had gold hairpins in her hair. It was clear that she was different from the other maidservants.

At this moment, she was the first to step forward, smiling as she bowed and said, "My lord has returned. Would you like me to…"

At this point, she suddenly covered her nose and took a step back, clearly overwhelmed by the smell of rotten eggs emanating from the old woman.

The old woman was a bit embarrassed and about to apologize when the lord gave the maid a cold glance. "Go fetch some water, prepare washing things, and bring two suitable dresses."

The young woman in pink blushed with annoyance and quickly lowered her head in agreement.

The steward, as if he hadn't seen anything, smiled and helped the old lady into the house. He didn't forget to remind her, "Mother, be careful of your feet, this threshold is a bit high. You and the young miss liked the Changbai Gao that we made last time you came over. The kitchen just made some today, I'll go get it in a moment for you two to have a bite before we eat." He added, "Coming into town at this hour, I'm afraid you wouldn't have had breakfast yet, would you"

“Yes, the housekeeper guessed it right. We were in a hurry to enter the city to handle a small matter and didn't have time to eat.” The old woman smiled and nodded, then said, “I'm fine, an old bone like me can withstand hunger, but Funiu is still young, and the Marquis’s injury is just right. We can’t starve him. Please trouble the housekeeper with some food. Also, because the Marquis is taking medicine, he needs to avoid raw, cold, fishy, or greasy foods.”

"Well, yes, this servant has taken note. The old madam truly cares for the Lord Hou. If you hadn't said anything, this servant wouldn't have thought of it." The head steward chuckled and helped the elderly lady sit down, then looked towards the Lord Hou.for the girl Bah, this concubine is using her own husband's legitimate daughter to draw things from her maiden family!”Zhao Yuru was confused and quickly looked at Li Laosan who was walking over.
