Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Mrs. He took Gu Yunxi's hand and looked around, but saw no one else.

She was curious and a little excited, so she asked, "Yun Xi, we can't see the secret guards?"

Gu Yunxi nodded, and supported Madam He as she walked into the yard, saying, "Grandma, don't be afraid. The secret guards will only appear when we encounter an emergency or dangerous situation."

"Achuan and I encountered bandits on the way here. It was the secret guards who knocked the bandits unconscious. We were able to tie them up and send them to the nearby government office."

After a pause, Gu Yunxi looked up at the sky again and said, "It's just that we've wasted time. If we want to go back to the village at this time, we'll have to travel at night."

Upon hearing this, Madam He waved her hand hastily: "Let's not travel at night. Let's stay in the mansion for another night and then go back to the village early tomorrow morning."

Master He followed beside her and nodded: "Well, this is good, it's safer."

After the few people agreed on this, Mrs. He told the housekeeper to ask the kitchen to prepare dinner, and she took Gu Yunxi to the main house.

"Is the family busy these days? It's rare for you to come back, and we have to send New Year gifts and visit relatives, eh." Mrs. He asked with a smile.

Gu Yunxi nodded and said, "That's right. It took a lot of effort for my parents to prepare the New Year gifts after they came back. But luckily, there are a few servants at home, so they can still handle it."

"By the way, grandma, I sent back the three wet nurses I hired before. Now the children have stopped breastfeeding, and I don't want them to stay."

The three wet nurses were all women from the villages surrounding Jihu Town. They were of good origin, and even if the Lu family was willing to keep them, they would not sell their bodies.

Besides, one of the wet nurses didn't look like a decent person. Rather than leaving a hidden danger, it would be better to send them all back as planned, and buy some maids and servants to take care of the three children.

Upon hearing this, Madam He also agreed: "That's good. We still have quite a few servants in our house. Why don't you take a look and see which ones catch your eye and let them serve Brother Kai and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded. Mrs. He then asked the housekeeper to call out all the servants in the mansion and have them stand in the yard for Gu Yunxi to choose.

In the end, after some questioning and consideration, Gu Yunxi selected three maids, three servants, and a old woman.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Grandma, these are enough. With them around, Kai and his brothers won't have to worry about no one to take care of them."

The maids, servants and old women who were chosen were all extremely happy. That was the Lu family. The Lu family now lived in the capital permanently. If they wanted to take care of the young master, they would naturally have to go to the capital as well!

The prosperous capital city is the place that servants like them yearn for!

Mrs. He returned to the house and directly found the indentures of the seven people. She handed them to Gu Yunxi in front of them: "Yunxi, take these. It will be easier to discipline them in the future."

Gu Yunxi was a little surprised, but thinking that what Mrs. He said made sense, she shamelessly accepted it: "Thank you very much, Grandma."

The seven maids, servants and old women who were assigned to work lowered their heads and dared not utter a word. They knew very well in their hearts who their real masters were.

The next morning, Mrs. He sat with Mr. He and Gu Yunxi, while Lu Jianchuan drove the carriage, preparing to rush to Xijiang Village.

Seven servants, including Wu Feng, rode in a carriage.

The two cars slowly started out from the side door of the He Mansion. Just as they reached the street, before they had gone far, they saw the old butler of the He Mansion hurrying over.

"Butler, what's going on? What happened?" Lu Jianchuan sat in the front of the carriage and asked the butler.

The old housekeeper ran out of breath and it took him a long time to recover. He hurriedly said, "Young Master, it's bad. Someone is causing trouble in the mansion!"

As he spoke, Master He had already lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "Who is causing trouble?"

"Yes, it was the former son-in-law Shen Yuan, oh no, Shen Jianbai. He heard that the master and the mistress were back, so he knelt at our door and cried..." The old housekeeper couldn't speak clearly.

Master He looked slightly cold, glanced at the old housekeeper, and said to Lu Jianchuan: "Achuan, go back home first."

Lu Jianchuan nodded, turned the car around and returned to the He Mansion.

Many people gathered at the gate of He Mansion.

Shen Jianbai and Shen Yuan, the former son-in-law of He Xue, the eldest daughter of the He family, were now kneeling at the door, kowtowing continuously, with blood on their foreheads.

Seeing the carriage coming back, Shen Jianbai flashed a barely perceptible smile and immediately shouted, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I was wrong!"

Master He had a gloomy and unhappy face, and said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense, who are your father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

"Father-in-law, I know I was wrong before. I was too young and ignorant. I won't dare to do it again. Wuuuu, please let me go back home. I will be filial to you and mother-in-law in the future." Shen Jianbai begged while crying.

The crowd was talking about it, and many people actually sympathized with Shen Jianbai, thinking that Mr. He and Mrs. He were too cruel and did not feel sorry for their son-in-law at all.

"Mr. He, you are too cruel. You don't feel sorry for the child at all. Look at his forehead, it's red and swollen. It's so pitiful..." A fat woman stood up.

"Yes, yes, the son-in-law is an outsider after all..." someone else echoed.

Gu Yunxi stood there and watched for a long time, then narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke to the fat woman: "If you feel sorry for him, why don't you take him back to your home?"

The fat woman was a little surprised. She seemed to have not expected that someone would speak for the He family and bring the anger back to her. She immediately became angry.

"Who are you? Why don't you just take him back to your home? Humph, I'm not a fool. Wouldn't it be a waste of food if I take him home?" The fat woman rolled her eyes.

Gu Yunxi sneered and said, "You pity him, but I don't pity him."

"Everyone doesn't know, right? This man was indeed the son-in-law of the He family before, but later the He family found out that he stole the He family's money to buy a house outside and also kept a mistress, so he was kicked out by the He family."

"Even though he did such a thing, the He family gave him money to go home before he left, considering his poor family background."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar and the people watching were all shocked. They didn't expect that the person they had just sympathized with would be such a person.

"This bastard is so despicable. He deceived us into sympathizing with him."

"He's such a piece of shit. He's already a live-in son-in-law of the He family, but he's still secretly keeping a mistress outside. If he were my son-in-law, I'd be lucky if I didn't beat him to death!"

"Scumbag, he deserves to be beaten, beat him to death..."

Someone in the crowd shouted, and then some people started throwing rotten vegetable leaves at Shen Jianbai.

Shen Jianbai was a little complacent at first, but when he was hit with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, he was completely stunned.
