Chapter 59: Rushing to the Marquis' Mansion
When they heard that they were going to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion to collect debts, not only Uncle Ye, but even Wen Ping became excited.
In the past few years, the master was busy in the Marquis' Mansion, but Yin Xu was ungrateful. He yelled at the master many times for Leng Qianqian, used the master's money to support a woman, and then blamed the master for not being generous enough. Bah!
Wen Ping saw all of this, but she was just a maid. Even if she was dissatisfied, she could not do anything to the Marquis Yin Xu. Even for the sake of her master's marriage, she could not show any disdain for the male master.
She turned around and wanted to urge An Yu:
"Eat faster, eat faster, after you finish eating we... Hey? You finished eating so quickly?"
An Yu, who was sitting at the table, had empty dishes in front of him. His cheeks were bulging, obviously he had finished the food in just a few bites, which was completely different from his slow and leisurely movements before.
If An Yu's eyes had not been still confused, one would have suspected that this kid was also excited to beat someone up, which was why he suddenly ate so fast.
Seeing An Yu's attitude, Ye Qiongying knew that it was impossible to leave him alone at home.
Fortunately, they brought a lot of people with them when they went out today, and she was present, so there was no need to worry about anything happening to An Yu.
It’s a good opportunity. If he goes out for a walk, maybe someone who knows An Yu will see him.
If you don’t meet him, go to the government office again when you come back to see if there is any news about An Yu’s family.
After they left the yard, Uncle Ye couldn't wait to run away and call people, saying that they would meet outside the gate of Ye's house.
Ye Qiongying took Wenping and Anyu into the carriage and waited outside the mansion for a while before they saw Uncle Ye excitedly opening the door and running out.
At the same time, there was also the sound of orderly running. It turned out to be a large group of young men running out following Uncle Ye.
The youngest of the guys is almost twenty years old, and the oldest is no more than thirty years old. They are young and strong, and each of them is tall and strong. The muscles in their arms are bulging, so that their clothes are stretched on their bodies, as if the fabric will burst if they move a little.
At this moment, they had the same excited expressions on their faces as Uncle Ye, and were even more excited than Ye Qiongying, the one who was "collecting the debt".
"Uncle Ye, what are you doing..." Ye Qiongying said helplessly, "When you say call people, do you mean call everyone in the mansion? We are here to collect debts, not to confiscate the house."
Uncle Ye said confidently:
"No, we only called a small part of them. The old lady and Madam Hua are still in the mansion. We need to leave more people to watch over us, to prevent those evil-minded people from attacking us from behind and destroying the Ye Mansion."
You think this is a war.
There are few capable fighters in Yin Xu's mansion, so how could they dare to break into Ye's mansion?
Besides, even if there were people, under the feet of the emperor, who would dare to rush into the Ye Mansion and confiscate the property except for the troops sent by His Majesty? They are not bandits.
All Yin Xu could do was to play some tricks secretly.
“Girl, what are you afraid of? Anyway, we will take turns following Uncle Ye to beat him up… cough cough cough, well, we won’t do anything reckless. The more people follow us, the more powerful we will be!”
"Yes, yes, young lady, don't worry, we promise to hit you wherever you point us, and we will never rush up and beat you up randomly."
"Miss, are you only going to beat up one person today? I heard that there was another woman in the loyal and brave man's mansion who also bullied you? How about we beat them together? We brothers don't have the habit of beating people differently based on gender. As long as they are bitches, we will beat them together!"
……
Seeing that these young men had started chatting with each other, Ye Qiongying looked at Uncle Ye.
So this is how you usually teach them?
"That..." Uncle Ye chuckled twice, "This is normal, normal. After all, these guys may have to follow you to the battlefield in the future. What if they are caught by the enemy if they are worried about this and that? Anyway, as long as they are enemies, regardless of gender, age or young, they should be treated equally. Only in this way can they survive long on the battlefield!"
You also know that it was a battlefield.
Ye Qiongying sighed:
"Okay, all of you follow me, but you won't be needed when the action starts later. I feel like getting my hands on this debt myself, so just watch. If there are any fools in that mansion who want to take action, just protect Wen Ping and An Yu."
The group of people were a little disappointed that they couldn't take action.
But it’s okay if you can follow along to watch the fun!
They have recently experienced the young lady's skills firsthand, and they will not be disappointed.
It is impossible for so many people to all sit in the carriage.
So Uncle Ye called the coachman to stop and go back to the mansion to rest. He drove the carriage himself, and everyone else followed behind.
With such a group of guards following, they soon attracted the attention of others on the road.
This group of young people were trained by Uncle Ye. They didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, they straightened their chests. The expressions on their faces were as if they were carrying out some glorious mission. They were not afraid of being watched at all.
The onlookers also found it interesting, and although they didn't dare to get close, they couldn't help but look over here.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people following you?"
"They look like guards from the Ye family," said someone who knew the situation. "Looking at their attire, they are definitely members of the Ye family. Where are they going?"
"Oh, the guards of the Ye Mansion are all so handsome, and their bodies are really strong. They must be very capable, right? My aunt's family has a daughter who is about to get married. I wonder if I can introduce her to you."
"I think the one at the end of the third row looks pretty good, and the baby she'll give birth to will definitely be pretty too."
"No, no, no, it has to be the one on the right in the first row. Look at his arms, they are almost as thick as my legs. This son-in-law must be very capable. It will be so impressive to take him out!"
"The food at the Ye Mansion is pretty good. I wonder if I can go work at the Ye Mansion?"
……
There were all kinds of discussions, and some people even directly looked at that group of young men as candidates for sons-in-law.
The group of young men were not afraid of anything else, but had never encountered such a thing. They were so embarrassed that their faces turned red. They no longer dared to glance to the side like they did before. They stared straight ahead and pretended that they heard nothing.
In this way, the team followed the carriage all the way to the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and then stopped.
The onlookers also became curious.
Isn't he from the Ye family? Why did he come to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion?
The news came out a few days ago!
It is said that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery divorced the girl from the Ye family.
At first, some people speculated whether the girl from the Ye family had done something that caused her to be driven back by her husband's family.
But soon, new news came out, saying that the Loyal and Brave Marquis was treacherous and favored his concubine over his wife. The Ye family girl's pride could not be suppressed, so she asked for a divorce and returned home.
The Ye family is full of loyal and brave people, and they have always had a good reputation among the people.
Once this happened, everyone would of course prefer to believe the latter rumor.
At this moment, seeing those people stopped outside the Marquis' Mansion, it seemed even more exciting to watch.
Look, it must be that Marquis Zhongyong did something bad, and the Ye family came to seek revenge, right?
The gatekeeper of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion also noticed the situation outside. Seeing the group of strong men coming aggressively, he was so scared that he quickly ran back to the mansion to report to the marquis.
