Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 782 Those who don’t know would think Meng Deguang is the king of heaven

Jixiang stood there, listening to Meng Yunlan's scolding, without moving at all.

Everyone said that the eldest lady of Yulu Courtyard was of noble birth, gentle and virtuous, understanding and reasonable, and the most compassionate to her servants.

In the past, he had not had much contact with Qionghua Courtyard and Yulu Courtyard, and he thought that the eldest young lady was really such a good person. But today, he found that her so-called graciousness and consideration for the servants were just an act.

She robbed the second wife's carriage. There were already servants kneeling on the ground in the yard, but she refused to get out of the carriage. She looked like she wanted to run over them. It was clear that she treated the servants like ants.

"Madam, the eldest young master."

Jixiang waited until Meng Yunlan finished scolding him before speaking. His tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "If your carriage breaks down, you can ask someone to repair it. If you think it will take too much time to repair it, you can also use the spare carriage nearby. If you don't like the spare carriage, you can also borrow one from someone else for temporary use."

"Our Second Young Master's Madam's carriage is needed today. This was arranged yesterday, so please ask the First Young Master's Madam to move over."

"The Second Young Master's wife has just sent someone to urge us to send the carriage. If we don't send it out soon, it will delay the Second Young Master's wife's use of the carriage."

This time, Meng Yunlan didn't need to speak herself, Bai Shao and Hai Tang, who were standing on both sides of the carriage, scolded people for her.

Bai Shao's face was sullen, her tone filled with displeasure. "Jixiang, are you deliberately using the Second Young Master's wife to pressure our First Young Master's wife? The First Young Master's wife is the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, and the Second Young Master's wife's sister-in-law. You're doing this to her, refusing to even give her a carriage. Are you trying to make her a laughing stock?"

Haitang had just arrived at the Duke's Mansion from the Meng family, and she still carried the Meng family's arrogance. She looked down on Shen Wantang's background, so she was particularly bossy towards Jixiang: "Your name is Jixiang? You're just a lowly servant in the stable, and you dare to stop our eldest young lady? You really don't know your own last name!"

"The eldest young lady is in a hurry to go back to her parents' home. It would be bad to keep Lord Meng and Madam Meng waiting for too long. The Meng family is not one of those small families with no rules. It is not reasonable to let the elders wait for the younger ones!"

"Get out of the way! You're just standing there, an eyesore. You're using chicken feathers as a token of authority, pretending to be a decent person! You've delayed the affairs of the eldest young lady and the Meng family. Can you bear the consequences?"

Jixiang has been following Gu Qianhan to various places for many years. He has met countless dignitaries, even the emperor and the empress.

Everyone knew that he was Gu Qianhan's servant, and they were all very polite to him. Even after Xiao Qingyuan and his master became enemies, Xiao Qingyuan and Mo Ji, who was by his side, had never humiliated him like this.

And now, the Meng family actually allowed Meng Yunlan and his maid to act so rampantly?!

Those who don’t know this might think that Meng Deguang is not just an imperial censor of the Censorate, but a deity who is more powerful than the emperor!

Bai Shao still had some brains and just took advantage of his words to make trouble.

This newcomer, Haitang, was extremely stupid. She didn't even know that he was the second young master's servant. She thought he was really a lowly slave who shoveled horse manure in the stable, and even spoke to him with arrogance and disdain.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Haitang was not called this name when she was in the Meng family. It was after she came to the Duke's Mansion that the eldest young lady specially changed her name.

The eldest young lady gave the maid this name, obviously with ulterior motives. She clearly knew that the second young lady's maiden name was Wantang, but she deliberately named the maid Haitang. Isn't this intentional to disgust the second young lady?

Jixiang glanced at Haitang and casually said to her, "Since the Meng family is not a small family, why did they want to steal the Second Young Master's wife's carriage? Why can't the Meng family even afford a carriage?"

"What's wrong with me being a lowly servant? I know the rules much better than you do! The rule in our Duke's Mansion is that each family has its own carriage, and there is no reason to steal someone else's carriage!"

"If you want to steal the carriage today, then just step over this lowly slave of mine!"

Haitang hadn't expected Jixiang to be so stubborn and ungrateful. She was furious, her face livid as she shouted, "Do you think I dare not step over you? You're just a lowly slave, who are you threatening?!"

"Coachman! Where is the coachman?! Coachman, come here immediately and drive the carriage for the eldest young lady!"

There were people kneeling on the ground in the huge yard, but no one responded to her.

"Whoever drives the carriage for the Madam today will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Still no one answered her.

"Twenty taels of silver!"

Still no one answered her.

Haitang's face turned from blue to white with anger. She was stuck there and felt very embarrassed.

What a shame!

How could these people not give her face! They didn't give Meng Yunlan face at all!

She knew that Meng Yunlan would never allow such a shameful thing to happen.

So, she gritted her teeth, jumped onto the carriage, pulled the reins, and tried to control the horse herself.

From beginning to end, Bai Shao just watched coldly and never reminded Hai Tang who Ji Xiang, the one covered in dust and smelling of horse manure, was.

After all, if someone stood up for her, she would be much safer and could survive.

There always has to be someone to show off Meng Yunlan's power and offend others, but as long as that person is not her, she doesn't care whoever wants to make a fuss.

Anyway, she had just spoken for Meng Yunlan, which was enough.

Nanny Ping and Shancha are still acting crazy at the moment. Their painful lessons are constantly reminding her that she should offend the second house as little as possible, otherwise she will be the next one to be killed by the second young master.

When Jixiang saw Haitang trying to drive the car, a sneer appeared on his face. It was obvious that she couldn't drive a car, but she dared to show off. She really didn't know how to live or die.

"drive!"

Haitang shouted and whipped the horse's back.

The horse felt pain, neighed, and ran out like crazy.

The maids and servants who were originally kneeling on the ground were so frightened when they saw this that they quickly got up and hid.

But Jixiang, who was the first to be hit, did not hide.

He tapped the ground on his toes, turned and flipped in mid-air, snatched the reins from Haitang's hand, and then jumped on the horse and pulled back hard: "Whoa!"

This horse was the one Gu Qianhan often used. He was very familiar with it. In addition, he had been feeding and cleaning the horse himself in the past few days, so he had become more and more familiar with the horse. So when he reined in the horse, the horse stopped quickly even though it was still in pain.

Haitang was originally frightened by the horse's crazy momentum and her face turned pale. Then she saw Jixiang's extraordinary lightness skills and his agile and light body, her face turned even paler.

She suddenly realized that this lowly slave might have another identity, otherwise he would not have such amazing martial arts skills. This would require spending a lot of money to invite a well-known master to teach martial arts, in order to achieve such an achievement!

She realized it belatedly. That's right, just now, facing Meng Yunlan's scolding, everyone knelt down, except Jixiang!
