From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"Second Madam!"

Upon hearing that the First Madam wanted to beat Chen Shi to death, Yun'er looked anxious and nervously grabbed Xiao Fengxiao's arm.

Xiao Fengxiao's expression was serious as he spoke in a deep voice.

"I'm here today, let's see who can lay a finger on him!"

"Xiao Fengxiao! How dare you!"

Madam Li gave a sharp shout and glared angrily at Xiao Fengxiao.

"How dare you openly defy me! Do you even respect me as your elder?!"

"You may be an elder, but if you want people to respect you, you must first be fair in your dealings."

Xiao Fengxiao snorted disdainfully and spoke sharply again.

"The First Madam is bullying the younger ones. Don't we, the Second Branch, have any elders? We can always ask the Second Madam to settle this!"

"You thought you invited..."

"Or, we could go and talk to the old lady! This is a huge manor; surely there's a place to reason things out!"

Before Madam Li could feel smug, Xiao Fengxiao spoke sharply again.

As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Li frowned instantly.

If this matter gets to the old lady, it will really escalate.

To disturb the old lady for the sake of a servant would be a grave offense for both her and Xiao Fengxiao, and they would certainly be punished!

Madam Li looked at Xiao Fengxiao, her expression growing increasingly grave.

For the sake of a servant, is Xiao Fengxiao really willing to fight her to the death?

If it were anyone else, Madam Li would have thought she was just bluffing and would never have dared to actually do it.

However, Xiao Fengxiao was known throughout the entire household for her fiery and unscrupulous nature. On their wedding night, she dared to kick Gu Chengze out, and the next day she turned the Marquis's mansion upside down.

What is there that she wouldn't do?

That's why, not to mention Gu Chenglie, even her aunt felt a bit wary.

"Nonsense!"

But things have come to this point, and if we give in, how will she be able to maintain her standing in the Marquis's mansion in the future?

Madam Li gave a cold snort, then shouted at the servants around her.

"What are you all standing there for? Kill him!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Xiao Fengxiao raised her eyebrows and shouted, blocking Chen Shi's path.

The servants, who were holding sticks, were about to step forward, but then stopped them.

They were indeed servants of the main branch, but Xiao Fengxiao was also a proper master. If they hurt Xiao Fengxiao, even just a minor scratch, their lives wouldn't be enough to pay for it.

"You bunch of idiots! Couldn't you have pulled her away?!"

Madam Li pointed at Xiao Fengxiao and loudly ordered the servants.

"I'd like to see who dares! Any lackey who dares to touch me, I'll chop off their entire family's heads!"

Xiao Fengxiao stood in front of Chen Shi without moving, and gave a cold snort with a chilling gaze.

This……

The servants froze on the spot once again. Xiao Fengxiao was a woman; how could they possibly touch her?

Moreover, everyone in the manor knows that Second Madam Ze is a woman of her word; if she says she'll cut off their entire family's heads, then not a single one will be spared.

"You, Xiao Fengxiao! You've abandoned all dignity for a mere lackey!"

Madam Li was furious and turned to instruct the old women and maids she had brought.

"Are you all dead? Go and pull Xiao Fengxiao away!"

"yes!"

The group of old women responded and rolled up their sleeves, ready to step forward.

The male servants dared not touch Xiao Fengxiao, but they were women and had no such scruples.

"Who dares to touch my grandma!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yun'er shouted and led her people to rush forward.

Taking the lead, Yun'er grabbed the hair of the old woman at the front and dragged her aside like a dog, causing the old woman to scream in pain.

The other maids and servants of the main house were taken aback at first, but then they came to their senses and rushed to the rescue.

The second wife's side, fearing that Yun'er would be taken advantage of, also rushed over. Following suit, some pulled her hair, others scratched her face.

As the saying goes, a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command. Although Xiao Fengxiao led a small number of men, they were all fierce and valiant, and they managed to win a victory against overwhelming odds.

However, as the opposing team also learned to pull hair and scratch faces, the advantage gradually diminished, and eventually the two teams remained evenly matched.

It's said that one woman is worth five hundred ducks. This group of women started tearing at each other, and for a moment, screams and curses filled the entire small garden.

"This...this..."

Both Madam Li and Gu Chenglie were dumbfounded by what they saw.

Even if they are well-traveled and knowledgeable, they have never seen such a scene before.

As a maid in the Marquis's mansion, she was more respectable than the young ladies from humble families. Yet now she was fighting like a bunch of scoundrels, tearing each other's hair like shrewish women.

This is outrageous!

The key issue is that if word gets out afterward, where will the Jing'an Marquis's family put their face?

As their masters, how could they possibly face anyone?

"Hit her! Hit her harder! Yun'er, don't just pull her hair, pull her ears, and scratch her eyes out!"

In contrast, Xiao Fengxiao showed no hesitation whatsoever, watching with great interest and even offering enthusiastic advice. If it weren't for protecting Chen Shi, she probably would have already rushed forward herself.

Chen Shi, standing behind Xiao Fengxiao, was also dumbfounded. After a long while, he came to his senses and felt a surge of emotion.

Despite Xiao Fengxiao's noble status, she didn't hesitate to shield him with her own body. Now, she's even letting the maids and the main branch of the family fight, completely disregarding her reputation.

Yun'er is usually such a gentle person, but now she actually went and pulled someone else's hair for his sake.

Chen Shi felt secretly ashamed. What did he do to deserve Xiao Fengxiao and Yun'er doing this for him?

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

Just as the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, Steward Sun came in from outside and shouted at the crowd.

But these women were so enraged that no one listened to him.

With a helpless expression, Steward Sun could only turn to Madam Li and Xiao Fengxiao.

"Madam, Second Madam Ze, I have already informed the Master, and he has given his instructions."

"What did the master say?"

The two stared wide-eyed and asked in unison.

"this……"

Steward Sun smiled helplessly and pointed to the field.

"Let them stop for now."

"Alright! Tell your men to stop."

Xiao Fengxiao nodded and said directly to Madam Li.

"Why should my men stop first?!"

Madam Li snorted coldly. If her people stopped and Xiao Fengxiao's people didn't stop, wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?

"You two."

Manager Sun looked helpless and could only offer advice again.

"We can't keep this up. Let's all stop."

"Alright."

Xiao Fengxiao and Madam Li exchanged a glance, let out a cold snort, and then turned to the crowd.

"Stop!"

Upon receiving their master's order, all the maids and servants immediately stopped.

But she only stopped, not let go. She was still holding onto her hair and pulling on her ears, like a group of people tangled together like a ball of yarn.

Steward Sun shook his head helplessly again, but finally stopped hitting her. He then spoke to Madam Li and Xiao Fengxiao.

"The master said, is it worth making such a fuss over a mere servant? Although there was a reason for it, it is a fact that Chen Shi killed A Qing. Therefore, Chen Shi will be added to this year's search team."

"Search team!"

Upon hearing these three words, Xiao Fengxiao frowned instantly.

"Everyone knows that the search of the mountain has lasted a month, with two or three trips made. Your Excellency's handling of this matter is surely unfair!"

"Second Madam, don't worry, the Master hasn't finished conveying his message yet."

Steward Sun smiled, then spoke seriously.

"As long as Chen Shi returns alive, this matter will be considered closed, and no one is allowed to mention it again! If Chen Shi can find one or two treasures from the mountains, he will be promoted to manager!"
