Chapter 192 Are you going to help this dog slave?
The yard was full of guards, and dozens of boxes were placed at the door of the warehouse. Zhou Lai and Xu Rong stood in front of the boxes together, and Xu Rong looked at Deji arrogantly.
Zheng was carried by several maids and stood beside Xu Rong, looking like she was protecting her own daughter.
Zhou didn't expect that the thieves were actually Zhou Lai and Xu Rong. She hurried over and asked Zhou Lai and Xu Rong, "What's going on?"
Zhou looked at Zhou and said nothing.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to speak, he is just a supporting role. With Zheng and Xu Rong, the two protagonists, around, it’s not his turn to speak.
What's more, this is Xu Rui's yard, so it's better for him to say less. He doesn't want to wait for Xu Rui to come back and settle the score with him.
Seeing Zhou coming over, Xu Rong immediately complained, "The dowry Xu Rui prepared for me was all stones. Now I'm just trying to take back what's mine, and these dogs are trying to stop me."
When Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun heard this, they both showed expressions of disbelief.
The dowry Xu Rui prepared for Xu Rong was actually all stones?
Mrs. Hu glanced at Jiang Xiyu secretly, and seeing that she looked calm and not surprised at all, she began to believe what Xu Rong said.
Judging from Jiang Xiyu's reaction, it seems that she had known the inside story of this matter for a long time.
Could it be that the dowry Xu Rui prepared for Xu Rong was really made of stones? If so, Xu Rui was too cruel.
However, Xu Rui's cruelty has been going on for a long time. What she didn't expect was that he was so cruel that he even treated his own sister without exception. Somehow, Hu, who had been holding a grudge against Zheng for her partiality, felt much happier.
Zhou Shi finally understood what Zhou Lai and Xu Rong were doing. Without a second thought, she stood beside them and chimed in, "I know about this too. You guys in the Marquis' Mansion are going too far. No one prepared a dowry; they gave stones. Xu Rui is going too far and doesn't even take our Zhou family seriously. Justice must be demanded today."
Zhou said, glaring at Deji again, "Who the hell are you? These are the son-in-law and daughter of your mansion. What right do you servants have to stop them?"
Deji looked at Zhou expressionlessly and said calmly, "I didn't stop the son-in-law and the young lady. They can leave at any time. I will never stop them. But the Marquis's things must be left behind. No one is allowed to touch the Marquis's things."
"How dare you!" Zhou shouted angrily, glaring at Deji unhappily. "This is the Yonglin Marquis's Mansion. We are all the masters of the Yonglin Marquis's Mansion. What right do you, a dog slave, have to shout in front of us?"
Jiang Xiyu stepped forward and said, "Aunt, where did you get the idea from? How come I didn't know that you are the master of the Yonglin Marquisate? Even if you are my mother's half-sister or my sister's mother-in-law, you can only be considered a guest of our Yonglin Marquisate."
Seeing Jiang Xiyu coming over to help, Zhou narrowed her eyes sinisterly, "Jiang, are you going to help this dog slave?"
"You little dog slave?" Jiang Xiyu scolded coldly, "Aunt, please be careful with your words. Deji has been the Marquis' personal guard since he was a child. All the servants in the mansion must respectfully address him as Lord Deji. His status is much more noble than the servants in the mansion. Even if he really sold himself, he was only the Marquis's slave, and he was not sold to your Zhou family. What right do you have to call him a little dog slave?"
Jiang Xiyu's resounding counterattack moved all the guards and servants present.
After all, they were all servants and guards of the Marquis' Mansion, and it was common for them to be scolded by their masters. They had heard countless insults like "dog slave" and "dead slave" since they were young. But when they heard Zhou, an outsider, scolding them, they were dissatisfied, but no one dared to stand up and refute. They did not expect Jiang Xiyu to come out to defend them.
At this moment, it seemed that Jiang Xiyu was not only protecting Deji, but all of them.
Of course, the one who was most moved was Deji. His eyes, which had been calm before, were now filled with light.
Just now, Zhou called him a dog slave. Although he was angry, he didn't want to argue with her. After all, in his heart, he was indeed a slave of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion.
But just now Jiang Xiyu said that he was the Marquis's servant alone, and this one sentence was enough to move him.
Madam is right, he is a servant, but he is the servant of the Marquis alone. He does not need to be servile to anyone other than the Marquis, especially someone like Zhou, whom the Marquis does not take seriously.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiyu would go against her because of a servant. Zhou was furious. "Okay, this is the Yonglin Marquis Mansion. I'm not the master, but Xu Rong is the master of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion."
Zhou directly pulled Xu Rong over, as if Xu Rong was her amulet.
Xu Rong also held her chin high, acting as if she was the mistress of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion.
Xu Rong's arrogant look made Jiang Xiyu sneer. "She used to be, but now she's married into your Zhou family. She's the head of your family and can boss people around. But this is the Yonglin Marquis Mansion. A married woman like her can only be considered a guest. She can't be the head of our Yonglin Marquis Mansion, nor does she have the right to boss people around."
Jiang Xiyu raised her voice when she said the last sentence, and her words also made the guards and servants around her understand one thing.
Xu Rong was already married, so she was no longer the master of the Yonglin Marquisate, and she had no right to give orders in the Marquisate.
Xu Rong was furious at Jiang Xiyu's words and shouted, "Jiang Xiyu, I, the daughter of the former Marquis of Yonglin, am not considered the master of the Yonglin Marquis's mansion. How can you, a woman from another family who came later, be considered the master of the Yonglin Marquis's mansion?"
Jiang Xiyu sneered, "Sister, you haven't read the laws of the Yun Dynasty, right? I was married to Xu Rui in a formal ceremony. He is the Marquis of Yonglin, and I am the mistress of the Marquisate. Naturally, I am the master of this Yonglin Marquisate."
Jiang Xiyu's words also made Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun unconsciously hold their heads high and chests puffed out.
Jiang Xiyu was right, they were the masters of Marquis Yonglin. They were used to being bullied by Xu Rong, but now they were the masters of Marquis Yonglin's mansion, and Xu Rong was the master of the Zhou family.
Jiang Xiyu's words were so well-written and logical that Xu Rong couldn't refute them.
She could only drag Zheng into it, "Then according to what you said, my mother should be considered the master of Yonglin Marquis Mansion."
Jiang Xiyu nodded without thinking, "Of course, mother is the Marquis' biological mother, the old lady of the Marquis's mansion, and naturally the master of the Marquis's mansion."
Xu Rong was expecting her to say this, and immediately said proudly, "Since mother is the master of the Marquis' Mansion, she can control everything in the Marquis' Mansion."
"Of course." Even Jiang Xiyu could not deny Zheng's identity and her status in the Marquis' Mansion.
Since Xu Rui is not around, Zheng is indeed qualified to control everything in the Marquis' Mansion.
