[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Chapter 137 4-room mansion 1 mess

After the fourth room moved out of the Marquis' Mansion, they moved to a house in Tonghuifang.

Tonghuifang is also in East City, but it is almost out of East City and is quite far from the Marquis' Mansion.

When Rong Enqing arrived at Tonghuifang, the carriage had just turned into the alley where the fourth room's mansion was located, and he saw a large group of people gathered at the door of the mansion, pointing at the Yun Mansion and whispering to each other.

Rong Enqing lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked towards the crowd. From the way they were dressed, he could tell at a glance that most of them were servants from the surrounding families, both men and women, young and old.

When the carriage came closer, the driver shouted loudly: "Make way, the carriage is coming, make way."

The crowd quickly made way for the carriage to pass.

But then, Rong Enqing clearly heard a noisy discussion coming from the crowd.

"Whose carriage is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"I don't know. This family has moved here for several months, and I haven't seen anyone come to visit."

"Keep your voices down! Haven't you figured it out? This is the carriage of the Shun'an Marquis's residence! The people sitting in the carriage might be from the Shun'an Marquis's residence!"

"That's not right! The Marquis' Mansion is a top noble family! Why would they let their descendants move here? This place is almost out of East City!"

"That's hard to guess. I guess he's not favored."

"That's right. A noble young master of a marquis's mansion was separated to live alone. He doesn't even have an official position. He just hangs out in the backyard all day. Isn't this a problem?"

……

The carriage stopped, Xiu Zhang lifted the curtain and got out, then reached out to help Rong Enqing down.

Rong Enqing looked back at the group of people still gathered at the door and frowned slightly.

Xiu Zhang held Rong Enqing's arm and reminded her, "Madam, let's go in."

Xiu Zhang didn't lower his voice deliberately, it was loud enough for those people to hear clearly.

So, after seeing Rong Enqing's luxurious attire and hearing Xiu Zhang addressing Rong Enqing as "Madam", the crowd immediately fell silent.

Almost in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people ran away.

"Madam!? You're here!?"

The doorman came forward with an excited look on his face, then knelt down and kowtowed twice to Rong Enqing.

Rong Enqing raised his hand and motioned for the servant to stand up. "How is your fourth wife? Has the mansion called in a doctor?"

The servant stood up and nodded blankly: "I don't know. I was supposed to be on leave today, but I was just called to take up duty."

Rong Enqing frowned slightly and ordered, "This is my first time here, find someone to take me in."

"Yes." The servant responded and ran to find someone quickly, but after a while another person came back.

"Madam, let me take you in." The servant had a complicated expression.

Rong Enqing nodded gloomily.

From the moment she entered the door until now, she hadn't seen a single person except the gatekeeper.

The person who went to the Marquis' Mansion to deliver the message before also ran away by himself after delivering the message. He didn't even say that he would wait for Rong Enqing to join him and lead the way.

It was not until Rong Enqing passed through the hanging flower gate that he saw a man who looked like a butler leading a few servants hurriedly walking out.

The butler-like man and the servants behind him all had injuries on their faces, and their clothes looked dirty and messy. It looked abnormal.

Upon seeing Rong Enqing, the man who looked like a butler was so frightened that his face changed drastically and he knelt down to Rong Enqing in a hurry, "Madam, Madam!" It was obvious that this man recognized Rong Enqing.

The people following him also knelt down. However, many of them secretly looked at Rong Enqing with doubtful eyes.

Rong Enqing waved his hand, "Get up. Are you the housekeeper of the mansion?" Rong Enqing was confused.

The man who looked like a butler stood up and answered carefully: "In reply to Madam Tai, this old servant is the deputy butler."

As he spoke, the man seemed to have thought of something, and asked excitedly: "Madam, are you here to visit the fourth wife? This old servant will lead you in."

Rong Enqing didn't refuse, but his expression became even uglier.

Because the deputy steward was leading the way for her in front, and the few servants who had followed the deputy steward before were also following behind them.

Xiu Zhang also felt something strange and unconsciously protected Rong Enqing a little tighter.

Just as the group passed through the corridor and entered the third gate, a group of people suddenly rushed out, and the big man in the lead kicked the deputy butler to the ground.

Just as the next kick was about to come towards Rong Enqing, Xiu Zhang kicked the big man in the chest, causing him to step back a few steps and fall to the ground.

The big man was shocked and angry, he looked up at Xiu Zhang who was kicked away. One glance and he was immediately scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.

The big man immediately changed from a sitting position to a kneeling position, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Madam, Madam!!!"

The group of people following the big man had not yet rushed forward when they were frightened by the sudden change in front of them and their knees went weak and they fell to the ground with a thud.

The deputy housekeeper got up from the ground in a panic, stood next to Rong Enqing, and said, "Housekeeper Liu is so arrogant. It's ok for him to bully honest people like us, but today he dared to attack the lady! He is really bold!"

The big man did not argue, but just glared at the deputy steward fiercely and knelt down respectfully.

Rong En saw through it. These two people were not good people. They actually formed gangs and fought in groups! Do they still know what their identity is?

"Madam, are you okay?" The deputy housekeeper asked Rong Enqing in a flattering manner, "It's a good thing you came today, otherwise we old servants would have been beaten to death by Liu Laifu and his men."

The lady waved her hand impatiently and said coldly, "Kneel here, I will deal with you later."

As he said this, he continued to go inside.

"Did you hear that? Madam wants you all to kneel here!" The deputy housekeeper pretended to be powerful and prepared to follow Rong Enqing with a smile. The servants who had been following him also hurriedly followed.

Unexpectedly, Rong Enqing turned around and looked at the deputy housekeeper coldly: "You go and kneel too."

The deputy steward was stunned, then looked at Rong Enqing in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but Xiu Zhang came back and kicked him in the knee, forcing him to kneel down involuntarily.

Xiu Zhang didn't hold back when he kicked him, and the deputy housekeeper's face turned pale with pain. It looked no better than the kick Liu Laifu had received before.

Seeing this, the servants behind the deputy butler twitched their lips and knelt on the ground. The people on the side of the big man looked at the deputy butler with a gloating expression.

Now, no one has gained any advantage.

Xiu Zhang walked back to Rong Enqing and helped Rong Enqing walk inside again.

Rong Enqing sighed heavily, raised his foot and continued to walk inside.

It had only been a few months since the fourth room was moved out, but outside, the fourth room had become the laughing stock and topic of conversation among the neighbors. Inside, it was even more chaotic. There was only one servant at the door, and no one could be found to pass messages or lead the way to the inner courtyard!

The most ridiculous thing is that the two housekeepers actually had a fight in broad daylight! They almost hurt her!

Originally, Rong Enqing thought that these were outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that even more outrageous things were yet to come.
