The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 525 Wang Siruo has no more relationship with Anyang Marquis Mansion

When the old housekeeper and Nanny Wang arrived at the gate of Wang Siruo's courtyard, they heard the old lady's low voice chanting from inside. Just now, when the master came to find them and said that the Marquis's Mansion was handed back to the old lady, the two knew that something big had happened, so they rushed to Wang Siruo's courtyard without delay.

They trotted into Wang Siruo's yard and saw the old lady kneeling on the ground in front of Wang Siruo's door, chanting scriptures in front of a pile of bones.

When the two saw the white bones, their legs suddenly went weak and they staggered. They supported each other to avoid falling to the ground.

At this time, the door was wide open, and there was no sign of Wang Siruo inside. The old housekeeper and Nanny Wang looked at each other and thought, "Oh no! Their young lady has harmed others again and escaped from the house."

"Madam, the ground is cold, please get up quickly. Be careful not to get cold. The Marquis' Mansion still needs you to take charge of the situation!"

Nanny Wang looked at the old lady who had aged a lot in just one day, her eyes full of pity, and stepped forward to persuade her.

"Madame Wang is right, old lady, you must take care of yourself!"

The old housekeeper also stepped forward to persuade them, and the two of them carefully helped the old lady up.

"Butler, have someone spread the word that Wang Siruo is practicing evil skills and killing people. From now on, she is no longer a member of Anyang Marquis's Mansion. If anyone sees her, stay away from her immediately and report to the authorities! This is the portrait of that evil creature. Post it at the door of the Marquis' Mansion!"

The old lady handed the portrait, which was a little wrinkled in her hand, to the old butler and gave instructions.

"Madam, please think twice. If we make public what the young lady did, the reputation of our mansion will be affected by her!"

The old butler frowned and advised the old lady.

"Which is more important, reputation or life? If we spread the news now, people will be alerted, fewer people will be killed by that evildoer, and our mansion will be less guilty! Instead of covering up this scandal now, there is no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives will find it out and deal with the mansion one day, and the loss will be even greater! You are also an old man in the mansion, and you have been with the old marquis for many years. You should know the importance of it. Do as I say! After the arrangements are made, gather all the servants in the mansion together and wait for instructions in the front yard!"

The old lady looked at the butler seriously and spoke earnestly.

"I am confused. I will go now!"

After the old housekeeper disappeared in the yard, the old lady looked at Nanny Wang and ordered, "Go and order someone to compile a list of the guards killed by that evildoer today. Although they all signed death contracts and sold themselves to the Marquis' Mansion, they were also born by their parents. When they were alive, they could secretly send their monthly allowance to their families to supplement their household expenses. Now that they are dead, send fifty taels of silver to their families on their behalf and ask them to mourn! After you finish this, go to the front yard and wait! I'll be there in a moment."

"Yes, I obey my orders!"

Nanny Wang bowed respectfully to the old lady and then left quickly.

The old lady slowly walked back to the bones, continued to kneel, and moved the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Wang Shu'er, who had just returned home after coming to Cao Zhu's house but found nothing, heard from the maid in her yard that the old lady had ordered her to go to Wang Siruo's yard to see her immediately. She didn't say what it was. She thought to herself, maybe Wang Siruo had caused trouble again, and hurriedly walked towards Wang Siruo's yard.

When he was halfway there, he happened to meet Nanny Wang who was on her way to do some business, and learned the whole story from her.

After asking Nanny Wang to take care of what the old lady had instructed, Wang Shuer pinched herself, tried to calm down, and then trotted directly to Wang Siruo's yard. She was very worried about the old lady. This matter was too serious, and she was worried that the old lady's body could not hold on.

"Mother! Please get up quickly. Your lips are turning pale! I will go to the Fahua Temple to find monks to pray for their souls and bury them!"

Wang Shuer ran to the old lady breathlessly, and seeing that her lips were pale and she looked unwell, she helped her up and spoke quickly.

"Don't worry, Shu'er. Mother is fine. Go and ask the people in my yard to pack up some of my daily necessities. Also ask them to pack up some of your daily necessities. During this time, you can stay with me in the front yard!"

When the old lady saw Wang Shuer’s worried tears welling up in her eyes, she forced a smile and patted her hands.

"Daughter understands. I'll help you go back to the yard to rest for a while. You can't force yourself!"

The old lady knew that her health could not be in trouble at the moment, so she nodded to Wang Shuer, and left Wang Siruo's yard with her support.

Without waiting for the old lady's instructions, Wang Shuer picked up the padlock on the ground and locked the gate, and carefully put the key in her arms. Seeing this, the old lady nodded secretly.

Wang Shuer helped the old lady slowly back to the yard, asked her to sit on the couch to rest, and asked someone to boil some red sugar, scallion and ginger water for her to ward off the cold. Then she quickly ordered people to start packing up the old lady's belongings.

Seeing that this adopted daughter was so thoughtful and capable, the old lady felt a little comforted.

Soon, the old lady's things were packed up, and the maid from Wang Shuer's side also came to report that her daily necessities had been moved to the front yard. Wang Shuer then helped the old lady walk towards the front yard.

After arriving at the front yard, the old lady looked at the servants standing there quietly, sat down on the chair brought by the old housekeeper, and slowly said: "What happened in the mansion, the housekeeper has already told you, now I am the old woman in charge, all my orders, you must execute them without hesitation, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel!"

The servants in the Marquis' Mansion had all signed death contracts, and the master of the Marquis' Mansion could decide their life and death. Therefore, they obeyed the old lady's words and bowed respectfully to her.

"Starting today, guard the gates of the mansion. Do not let Wang Siruo sneak back into the mansion. Each patrol team must have no less than 20 people, especially at night. No one is allowed to be alone. If you find Wang Siruo, call for help. If there are too many people, she will be cautious and dare not harm anyone! Install iron spikes on the walls, and the courtyard must be lit with candles every night!"

The old lady sat on a chair and gave orders to the people below with a dignified look on her face.

Seeing that the servants bowed and responded to her orders, the old man waved his hand to let them go and went to work. Then he said to the butler standing beside her: "Please have someone prepare the carriage. I will go to the palace to meet the regent in a while!"

"Yes, old slave, go now!"

"You two follow me in to change clothes and accompany me into the palace!"

After the old housekeeper left, the old lady stood up and spoke to Nanny Wang and Wang Shuer.

The two nodded and helped the old lady into the house.

A quarter of an hour later, a simple carriage came out of the Anyang Marquis' Mansion, followed by twenty guards, and drove towards the direction of the imperial palace.
