Chapter 120: A loyal servant protects his master, his life hangs on a thread
The fierce kicking sound rang out, and the Yangling Marquis and his wife smiled at each other, feeling extremely happy.
For two months, since Shen Qing's temperament changed drastically, they were either frustrated or on the way to being frustrated. Now they can finally hold their heads high and feel very happy.
The movement outside the door soon reached Mu Jin.
Now Shen Qing and several personal maids are not in the mansion, and the only second-class maid who can make decisions in the entire Tinglan Courtyard is Mu Jin.
When she heard that the Yangling Marquis and his wife were rushing here, Mu Jin immediately made a decision to let the gatekeeper and maid lock the courtyard door, just thinking about holding on for a while.
Mu Jin looked at the panicked maid at the gate, "Have you sent the news to Guard Chen and Aunt Qiu?"
The maid nodded, "They have all been sent. If nothing goes wrong, they should be here soon."
The only people Shen Qing knew well in Yangling Marquis's mansion were Aunt Qiu and Guard Chen. Qin Luan was actually one of them, but she was about to give birth in the next few days. Mu Jin was afraid of causing trouble, so she didn't send the news to Fuchun Hall.
Mu Jin got up and walked straight to the door of Tinglan Courtyard.
She knew very well that the door would not stop the Marquis of Yangling 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.
Just as Mu Jin walked not far from the door, the door was violently knocked open by several servants. With a "bang", the two doors smashed into the courtyard at the same time, splashing a large amount of smoke and dust.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, the Marquis of Yangling and his wife walked into the courtyard side by side, with the proud attitude of the winner on their faces.
The two did not even glance at Mu Jin, and walked straight towards Shen Qing's small storehouse.
Seeing the intentions of the two, Mu Jin stepped forward and stopped them, "Marquis, Madam, the young lady is not in the courtyard now. If the Marquis and Madam have anything to say, I can convey it on your behalf."
The Marquis of Yangling's wife then took another look at the little maid in front of her and sneered, "Who are you to dare to stop me?"
Mu Jin bowed her body, her voice was very steady, "I am a second-class maid beside the young lady. When the young lady left, she handed over Tinglan Courtyard to me to take care of."
Mu Jin delayed as much time as possible, waiting for Chen Qi and Aunt Qiu to arrive.
However, Mu Jin was just a maid, and her voice was not taken seriously. The wife of Yangling Marquis believed that Shen Qing was dead, so she did not care about Shen Qing's people at all. She turned her head to look at Zhang Mama, and her voice was full of disdain from the superior, "Zhang Mama, let this ignorant little girl know the consequences of contradicting me."
Zhang Mama understood, nodded to Yangling Marquis's wife, and then walked towards Mu Jin.
The fierce slap fell fiercely, and Mu Jin's face was calm, without dodging, allowing Zhang Mama to slap her.
Ten loud slaps fell in succession, and Mu Jin's mouth was bleeding, and her cheeks were red and swollen.
Zhang Mama spat "cheap bones" again, and then walked back to Yangling Marquis's wife arrogantly.
Looking at Mu Jin's face that had lost its original appearance, Yangling Marquis's wife felt more comfortable, and did not embarrass Mu Jin anymore, and walked towards Shen Qing's small warehouse again.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jin blocked her way again, her voice full of determination, "Madam, the young lady's small warehouse is in front, and the young lady has ordered that no one is allowed to approach."
The wife of Yangling Marquis laughed angrily, "It seems that the beating was not light, Madam Zhang, you come and teach her what the rules are!"
After that, she sat down on a stone bench with Yangling Marquis, obviously preparing to teach Mu Jin a lesson before taking Shen Qing's dowry.
Not being able to see Shen Qing's death with her own eyes, she attacked her maid, which was also a way for the wife of Yangling Marquis to vent her anger.
And this just happened to be what Mu Jin wanted.
Mother Zhang stepped forward again, slapping Mu Jin and cursing: "I think you, little bitch, have really been spoiled by the young lady. You dare to contradict the lady. If I don't beat you half to death today, I will be sorry for the lady's trust in me!"
Mu Jin said nothing and let Mother Zhang beat and scold her. Her eyes drifted towards the door, but she retracted them in disappointment.
Guardian Chen and Aunt Qiu hadn't come yet, but she was almost unable to hold on.
At this time, Mother Zhang slapped her hard, and Mu Jin fell to the side, but staggered up the next moment, looking coldly into Mother Zhang's eyes, and refused to give in.
Mother Zhang was tired of beating, and suggested to the wife of Yangling Marquis: "Madam, this little bitch is really resistant to beating. A slap won't make her subdue. Why don't we change to caning?"
The wife of Yangling Marquis also felt tired of slapping, so she agreed to Mother Zhang's proposal.
The servant next to her brought the punishment stool and board, and then forced Mu Jin on it.
After the first blow, Mu Jin felt that her bones were about to break. She bit her lips hard to prevent herself from shouting.
The servant saw that the wife of the Marquis of Yangling was determined to teach Mu Jin a lesson, and was about to hit her with the second blow. Fortunately, Aunt Qiu came in time, "Stop!"
Aunt Qiu stepped forward quickly and stood in front of the Marquis of Yangling and his wife. Mu Lingxi pushed the servant who was executing the sentence away and helped Mu Jin down.
"Marquis, Madam, it's just a maid, why are you so angry?"
Without the wife of the Marquis of Yangling saying anything, the Marquis of Yangling was angry first, "Qiu Yi! Look who you are talking to! You dare to challenge me for a maid?"
For the Marquis of Yangling to be where he is today, Censor Qiu has made a lot of efforts, so the Marquis of Yangling and Aunt Qiu are 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 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 he 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 I must also protect the young lady's people."
Yanglinghou 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 Marquis Yangling.
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 prince of the dynasty, Marquis Yangling wanted to torment these guards as easily 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, there will soon be a second.
In the end, only a few people were left standing behind Chen Qi.
Marquis Yangling showed a triumphant smile, and just when 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?"
