65: Chapter 65 Burn It All Down!
"Yes!"
The guards felt an inexplicable and profound chill spreading from their hearts under Luo Qingtong's empty and unfocused gaze.
He had no doubt that Luo Qingtong would keep her word!
And her so-called "throwing out" likely meant more than just tossing them out—it meant sweeping them out the door!
With this thought, a flurry of activity among the guards ensued.
Even though the eldest lady was blind and seemed to have reached the limit of her Martial Arts Cultivation Realm,
the skinniest camel was still bigger than a horse, not to mention the eldest lady enjoyed the immense favor of the family patriarch.
Based solely on her marriage contract with the Fifth Prince of the Tianyu Empire, none of the guards dared to slack off.
Compared to this, what was the offense of the Third Lady to them?
Even if the Third Lady might inherit the Marquis Mansion in the future, that was a matter for later!
What's more, so what if she were to inherit the Marquis Mansion?
The eldest lady is to be the future Fifth Prince Consort of the Tianyu Empire!
It was said that the Fifth Prince had already been admitted to the Daqin Saint Institute, and he was among the rare Heavenly Level newcomers!
His future prospects were limitless!
What could the Third Lady compare with the eldest lady?
With these thoughts, the movements of the crowd were unspeakably efficient.
In no time at all, they had completely removed all the assorted clutter that belonged to the second branch!
Including the cages, chests, and room furnishings that the Second Madam had moved in advance, everything was cleared out.
"Eldest lady, everything has been cleared out!" the guards cautiously reported to Luo Qingtong, who was sitting nearby observing.
"Hmm, all those messy things have been cleared out?"
Luo Qingtong's gaze swept over the pile of disordered crates and belongings, spotting many of the Second Madam's treasured possessions amongst them.
Her dear second aunt was really too eager!
She had already moved her belongings over?
A slight smile slowly formed on her lips as she said indifferently, "All here?
Very well, burn them all!
Let it be known that my main courtyard is not a place where just any rubbish can be brought in!"
As long as Luo Qingtong was there, she would not allow anyone to meddle with the main courtyard of the Luo Family!
"Burn…
burn it all?!"
The guards thought they had heard wrong.
These were the belongings of the Second Lady!
Although not as important as those of the Third Lady… still, they belonged to the second branch!
And amongst them were clearly many of the Second Madam's favorite items!
All of this…
to be burned?
These guards had not been in the front courtyard and did not know that Luo Qingtong and Luo Xinning were at odds!
They still thought Luo Qingtong was the accommodating eldest lady who indulged Luo Xinning!
But unexpectedly, Luo Qingtong had given such an order!
—They had even thought of returning the belongings to the second branch after Luo Qingtong's anger subsided!
After all, with the eldest lady blind, it was very likely that the Third Lady could inherit the Luo Family!
They needed to make a living in the Luo Family, naturally, they had to curry favor with them too.
At Luo Qingtong's command, they were suddenly at a loss for what to do.
"What's the matter?
Can't I command you?" Luo Qingtong raised an eyebrow, those empty and unfocused eyes of hers staring at them.
"No, not at all!"
Facing Luo Qingtong's eyes, the guards did not dare to say anything more.
"Burn!
Burn it quickly!"
At this time, who would dare to hesitate?
Even if the eldest lady was blind, her status as the future Fifth Prince Consort was enough to crush all of Luo Xinning's current glory and pride!
The guards quickly sprang into action.
In the courtyard where the second branch resided, just as Luo Xinning had brought the fainted Second Lady into her own room, she saw the flames soaring into the sky from the main courtyard.
Instantly, her heart sank with a thud!
