Chapter 670: Chapter 670: The Young Miss Chapter 670: Chapter 670: The Young Miss Xuexue went back to her room to sleep again, and amid the haze, she did not know how long she had slept when she heard a commotion outside the courtyard, punctuated by Madam Xie’s piercing screams.
She shuddered, instantly awakened, quickly got out of bed, dressed, and made a rudimentary attempt to gather herself before hurrying out.
In front of the Qingyuo Pavilion.
Several stocky Old Maids stood guard, each rolling up their sleeves, emanating a menacing aura of ill-intent.
A knocking sound, as if dismantling a house, echoed into the residence.
Madam Xie was roused by their knocking and came to open the door.
But as soon as the door cracked open, they seized her without a word, intent on dragging her out.
Mo Xiaoqiang, who followed, quickly intervened, “Who are you people, and where are you taking my wife? Let her go immediately.”
“You lot, disobedient dogs, naturally need a lesson,” one of the Old Maids, her face covered in horizontal flesh, said, smugly.
They were Lady Tang’s thugs, usually tasked with dealing with disobedient maids and servants in the mansion.
That morning, they received orders to capture someone at Qingyuo Pavilion, so they came charging over, fierce and intimidating.
Hearing this, Madam Xie and Mo Xiaoqiang were taken aback, hastily explaining, “Could there be some misunderstanding? We’re not servants; we are the foster parents of the young lady.”
“That’s laughable. How could our young lady have foster parents like you country bumpkins?” the Old Maids guffawed.
Mo Xiaoqiang grew anxious, “It’s true, if you don’t believe me, go ask the General Lord.”
“To alarm the General for a few dog servants like you, who do you think you are?” said the fleshy-faced Old Maid harshly, then gave the order with a wave of her hand, “Take them away.”
“You can’t do this,” Mo Xiaoqiang tried to stop them again.
The plump Old Maids, upon seeing this, lined up before him, effectively barring him from intervening.
“What are you doing? Let go of me, let go!” Madam Xie yelled desperately.
She was tightly sandwiched between two Old Maids, utterly immobilized.
They were about to forcibly take her away.
A delicate rebuke sliced through the air from within the courtyard.
Mo Xiaoqiang turned and saw it was Xuexue, immediately he breathed a sigh of relief.
Naively, he thought that since Xuexue was the young lady here, these servants would surely heed her command to release Madam Xie.
Mo Xiaoqiang rushed to Xuexue, urgently saying, “Xuexue, they’re trying to seize your mother for some reason. Tell them to let her go quickly.”
Xuexue gave him a reassuring look.
The Old Maids turned around, saw a young girl, and utterly dismissed her, scoffing, “Where did this wild girl come from, daring to order us around? Who do you think you are?”
Mo Xiaoqiang, filled with smugness, thought, “See if you bold servants dare to be arrogant now, daring to kidnap Madam Xie,” and loudly declared, “She is the General’s Mansion’s young lady.”
But as soon as the words fell, the Old Maids erupted into laughter again, “This is absurd. We in the General’s Mansion would know our young lady. A greenhorn girl dares to impersonate our mistress.”
Hearing this, both Mo Xiaoqiang and Madam Xie were stunned. Could it be that the General’s Mansion did not acknowledge Xuexue as the young lady?
Mo Xiaoqiang, frantic, quickly said, “No, the General himself clearly stated at the gate that Xuexue is the
