Chapter 248 Dispute
Zi Cui saw that He was about to argue, but the old woman quickly covered her mouth and pushed her down.
The maid in blue was also helped down. He turned her back to everyone, controlled her expression, and turned to apologize to everyone.
"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, ladies. Let's move to the flower hall. The first batch of hundred flower cakes will be ready soon. Let's go and eat them together."
Everyone looked at He Huiru with sympathy and listened to her trying to change the subject, and they all cooperated.
"Hui Ru's hundred-flower cake is the most delicious. I ate two pieces last year and I still remember them."
"Yes, yes, we are in for a treat today."
Su He was a little disappointed. This concubine was useless. She could be dealt with with just one move.
After a while, the first batch of hundred-flower cakes was brought up by the maids, and each person ate two pieces before they were all eaten up.
Everyone started chatting in groups of three or four in the flower hall, but the Chen group was not in the mood because He Huiru was too good at talking and there was no chance of any conflict.
Fortunately, the concubine was really powerful and nothing happened again after a while.
At this moment, He Huiru was admiring the flowers at the door with her two ladies, when they saw a maid in yellow clothes walking hurriedly over. Su He immediately reminded Chen to go over and watch the fun.
After hearing the maid's report, He Huiru's face darkened. Xu Yu, who was on good terms with her, came over and asked.
"Sister Huiru, what happened?"
"It's okay. The servants spilled the second batch of hundred flower cakes. I can only ask the servants to deliver them to your house one by one later."
Xu Yu sneered and asked the maid, "Did that Xiang Yi Niang take it away? It's an unruly thing, sister, why are you afraid of her? Just sell it."
He Huiru was a little embarrassed. She didn't respond, but just told the maid to make another batch quickly.
Unexpectedly, the maid hesitated and did not leave. He Huiru asked in a deep voice, "What else?"
"All the flower petals we prepared this morning were snatched away by Madam Xiang, who said they were for bathing in the evening. If Madam needs more flower petals, she can get them from the garden."
He Huiru was stunned at first, then her face turned red, her mouth trembled and she couldn't speak, and tears flowed from her eyes.
Today is such an important occasion, and she hated the bitch Xiang Yi Niang for humiliating her like this.
"Bathing! Haha, it's really precious. Sister Huiru, open the door. I'm going to go see that little bitch. I'm going to order this hundred-flower cake."
Xu Yu laughed out of anger. She didn't take Zhou Tianfu seriously at all. She was the legal wife and she couldn't stand these concubines bullying the legal wife.
He Huiru came to her senses at this time and wanted to persuade him, but Xu Yu called out everyone in the hall.
"Sister Huiru, don't worry about it. I know you tolerate everything for Mingde and Chuchu. You can tolerate this today, but we don't have to. Open the door and lend us your maid."
He Huiru smiled bitterly and wiped the tears from her face. "Come on, I'll open the door for you, but this bitch must be in the master's study, so you may not be able to get in."
Xu Yu sneered and was not worried.
"Yunxiang, call all our drivers over. I want to see who dares to stop me."
Su He regretted it as soon as she heard it. If she had known that the coachman could go in, she would have let Xiaobai in.
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other excitedly. Here came the opportunity.
Xu Yu and He Huiru had already opened the door at the other end of the garden. A dozen of them, accompanied by maids and coachmen, walked towards the main hall in a mighty manner. This place was usually used to entertain male guests. There were no guests today, so it was very quiet inside.
The servant who was cleaning the main hall was startled to see so many women rushing over. After he realized what was happening, he quickly spoke out to stop them.
"Ladies, this is where the gentlemen are. Please move to the flower hall."
"Get out of the way! Where's Zhou Tianfu? Tell him to come out and see me!"
The boy was restrained by the driver behind him and shouted anxiously.
“Madam, you can’t go there, Shunde Shuncai, someone is trying to break in!”
Chen saw that someone was going to do something bad, so she called Zhang Xu to cover the boy's mouth. Yes, Zhang Xu also came in, and two unfamiliar drivers also came up to help.
The remaining people were free of obstacles and walked through the main hall effortlessly towards the main house. There were maids and servants who tried to stop them, but their strength was too weak and the coachman behind them was able to resist them.
Xu Yu led his people like soldiers going to war, marching forward bravely.
Su He followed Chen and the others and walked behind, feeling very puzzled. Aren’t the servants in Zhou’s mansion said to be vicious and ferocious?
This strength is too low.
There is a reason for this. Usually these servants are supervised by Steward Zhou, so they are usually diligent in their duties. However, Steward Zhou has been bedridden these days and needs others to take care of him. Besides, his only energy is spent on looking for Guan Xiao, and he has no extra time to spend on the servants in the mansion.
Without supervision, these servants became lax in their work, which gave Xu Yu and his men an opportunity to take advantage of. By the time Manager Zhou sent someone to stop them, these people had already walked into the main house.
Su He hid behind the crowd and watched Xu Yu shouting in front. She admired him very much. What a cool guy! He was her idol.
"Mom, our mission is accomplished."
Zhao Qingli felt relieved when she saw Xu Yu successfully call out Aunt Xiang.
Chen was still gasping for breath. She had walked too fast and her old bones had not yet recovered.
Is this done? But didn't the master tell them to attract people to the garden? They are all in the main house now, so can this be considered a success?
Su He looked at Chen who was still gasping for breath and went straight to Zhao Qingli, "Miss, I'll go with you to see if we can help."
Zhao Qingli did bring a maid this time, but she gave face to Su He and just called Su He and left.
"Shameless thing, who do you think you are to dare to steal my things! Where are the petals? Hand them over."
In just a short while, there were already two slap marks on Aunt Xiang's face.
Su He stood on tiptoe to admire Aunt Xiang who was caught by Xu Yu. She was indeed a weak little white flower. It was heartbreaking to see her crying.
"What petals are you talking about? I don't know anything. I've got the wrong person."
Aunt Xiang looked into the crowd and found He Huiru behind them, and immediately spoke up to her.
"I was wondering why you came here. It turned out that it was Madam's order. Not just anyone can enter here. Madam, you haven't been to the main house for a long time. I'm afraid you don't know a lot of things. I advise you to take these people away, otherwise you won't be able to explain when the master comes!"
The ladies present were all shocked. They all had concubines in their families, but they had never seen one so arrogant.
He Huiru's face turned pale and she was about to step forward, but Xu Yu couldn't bear it any longer, so she slapped her twice more.
"Little bitch, you said I don't deserve to be here? Who do you think you are? Today I will let you know what respect and inferiority are."
Su He frowned and looked around. Suddenly he thought of something and whispered something to Zhao Qingli. Zhao Qingli then walked towards Xu Yu.
Both of them are daughters-in-law of the Chen family, so they know each other.
Xu Yu looked at Zhao Qingli in surprise and suddenly said to everyone.
"Sisters, we have been here for such a long time and Master Xu has not come out. He must not be in the mansion. Concubine Xiang has decided to meet her lover here. Let's go and find the adulterer."
