Chapter 351: split up
Although due to the power and status of the Queen Mother and the suspicion of "collaborating with the enemy" of the Bai family, none of the people dared to speak out for the Bai family at this time, but this did not prevent them from discussing behind their backs and targeting Ji Tong and him stepwife.
Ji Tong's stepwife is precisely because she understands this reason well, so she dare not step on the Bai family unscrupulously under the premise that the Bai family has offended the Queen Mother.
She took a deep breath, froze with a smirk, and tried to use a relatively gentle tone to Ye Anlan, who was pretending to be Mrs. Bai: "You are welcome, old lady. We are already very happy that you can come."
After saying this scene, she immediately said again: "But you can also see that there is really no place for so many maids and servants from your mansion. If you don't mind, how about"
She wanted to say, why don't I find another room to house these servants you brought.
However, before she finished speaking, Ye Anlan, who was pretending to be Mrs. Bai, took the lead and gave her an idea, "In that case, madam, why don't we move our family to another place. There should be an empty yard in the house, right? You Just find an empty yard and let us sit."
Ji Tong's stepwife looked shocked.
The title of the Marquis of Weiping is hereditary. With the status and seniority of Mrs. Bai, she can undoubtedly sit at the table with the best position in this banquet.
Ji Tong's stepwife understood the meaning of the empress dowager, so when arranging the seats, she directly arranged the old lady Bai at another table next to the main table.
She originally thought that this kind of humiliation, which was invisible but well known to everyone present, was enough to make the Bai family restless, but unexpectedly, the old Mrs. Bai, who Ye Anlan pretended to be, offered to go to other places. place to sit.
Normally speaking, the host family will arrange to sit in other places during the banquet. They are basically those guests who the host family does not want to see, but have to let the other party attend the banquet for some reason.
For example, the poor relatives who come to fight the autumn breeze, such as the in-laws who have become desperate and settled down, such as the concubine who has been separated by the direct branch and is notoriously unable to support the wall, or the husband’s family is in trouble and can only live with her husband. The sons and daughters clung to the married daughter who was not let go by her natal family.
To sum up, those are those who are related to the main family, but at the same time they are completely unable to get on the stage.
And now, the "Old Lady Bai" actually asks to enjoy the same treatment as those guys who can't get on the stage and can't be seen
With her like this, the expressions of everyone present suddenly became subtle.
Some people think that based on her personality, she should have known that the Bai family was rejected by the queen mother, so she did this on purpose, so that the main family could justifiably isolate her.
Some people think that she is afraid of facing her old acquaintances, afraid of being ridiculed and ridiculed by others, and also afraid that those who could only support her in the past are now throwing stones at her unscrupulously.
There were even a small group of people who suspected that she couldn't bear the blow and lost her mind, otherwise they really couldn't understand her strange act of bringing so many servants into other people's houses.
Everyone sat at the table exchanging glances and even whispering, thinking they were doing it secretly, but they didn't know their every word, Ye Anlan could clearly hear them.
She ignored those women's speculations and discussions, but urged Ji Tong's stepwife again, "Please also ask Madam to send someone to lead us there."
Ji Tong's stepwife was speechless for a while, but after weighing things up, she finally invited Ye Anlan and the others to a remote small courtyard to fend for themselves.
What she didn't know was that what she thought Ye Anlan was looking for humiliation, was actually the group of them laying the groundwork for subsequent troubles.
As the obvious target, the old lady Bai played by Ye Anlan is responsible for attracting firepower, dealing with those guys who will come to the door and step on the Bai family even if they dodge.
As for the Ye family guards who jumped out from the back wall as soon as the courtyard door was closed, they sneaked into the residences of the maids and servants, stole their clothes and pretended to be servants of the mansion.
They have all practiced the internal and light skills that Ye Anlan got from Xie Yuan, and their skills are much better than those guards in Ji Tong's house who only know some superficial boxing skills, let alone those in the inner house who have not even practiced boxing skills. women.
Like dexterous cats, they used the trees, rockery, pavilions, and houses in the mansion to hide their figures, and transported out time after time the gold and silver that originally belonged to Pingxihou Mansion and now belonged to Ji Tong and his wife.
At the same time, Chang An and others in the front yard have also taken action.
They first emptied Ji Tong's small treasury, and then began to help the female guards in the inner courtyard carry it back and forth.
The female guards were responsible for moving the things into the alley outside the back wall, while Changan and the others were responsible for loading the things into the carriage and slowly transporting them out of the alley.
The women guarding the back door originally wanted to knock them unconscious, but unexpectedly, because of the shortage of manpower, Ji Tong's stepwife had already asked them to lock the back door, and went to the big kitchen to do errands for the cooks.
Ye's personal guards searched around but couldn't find anyone, so they stopped worrying about where the two gatekeepers went.
While they were working hard, they were always on the lookout for disturbances outside the alley and inside Ji Tong's mansion, in case of any emergencies.
Ye Anlan and the others on the other side are trying their best to create chaos.
Not only did Ye Anlan scold the little people who came to scold them, and they were ashamed, and attracted countless female guests to watch the fun, even the female guards who were in charge of moving things back and forth were giving the old While acquaintances helped, another wave of excitement was created for everyone to see.
As mentioned before, Ji Tong's stepmother planned to sell Ji Yu, the son of King Pingkang, to the Han family as her son-in-law for the benefits promised by the Han family.
After the Bai family was settled, Ji Tong's stepwife was urged by Mrs. Han's eyes to arrange another important event for her banquet.
She originally wanted to arrange for a few people to get Ji Yu drunk first, and then take advantage of Ji Yu's drunkenness to create the illusion that he was indecent to Miss Han, but to her surprise, Ji Yu never drank even a glass of wine.
No matter who toasted or persuaded anyone, Ji Yu blocked them all on the grounds of "being unwell".
He was sitting surrounded by several guards, drinking tea with a calm face, not giving anyone a chance to play tricks on him.
In this case, more cautious people will choose to give up the plan nine times out of ten, but Ji Tong's stepwife decided to take a risk because of the great gift from the Han family.
She knew very well that Prince Pingkang's Mansion would not give her a second chance like this. If she was timid and missed the chance to plot against Ji Yu this time, then she would definitely never have the chance again for what the Han family promised her. Got it.
But, she really needs that thing very badly.
