C133 Drag down a Staff and Shoot It
Old Lady Mu never acknowledged Shen Jingli's identity, to the point where she completely forgot. No matter if she admitted it or not, Shen Jingli was still a County Prince with a noble title, and not someone she could casually beat up.
"Even if it's my twin from the countryside, this County Prince is still the emperor's personal County Prince. This County Prince doesn't need to remind Old Lady, right? " Damn, he really didn't expect this old demoness to be so brainless as to dare to let people beat him up. Not to mention that she was fighting so viciously. Was this entire family brainless?
His gaze coldly swept over the spanking old granny, and said in a deep voice, "Men, drag this blind wet nurse down from the County Prince and shoot her with a staff."
He couldn't fight against County Owner. A mere mama could be killed just like that.
The servants in County Prince's Mansion had all been trained by Mu Chen, so they could only hear Shen Jingli and his servant coming in swiftly while dragging the mama inside.
The mama immediately panicked and rushed towards Old Lady to shout, "Old Lady, save me! County Owner, save me!"
Jin Yu felt that she was too noisy, so she took a handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth and asked the servant to quickly drag her out.
Old Lady was so angry that her face turned pale, her hands started shaking, while Dehui County Lord stood up in anger and pointed at Shen Jingli: "How dare you, a mere County Prince with another surname, scold me, a servant of the County Owner Palace, in front of me, the legitimate royal family?"
Shen Jingli swept her with a cold gaze. Dehui County Lord still could not understand, "You dare to insult County Prince, shouldn't you die?"
Beating her to death was letting her off easy.
Dehui County Lord was angered to the point that her eyes turned red. Previously, Shen Jingli had never put on the airs of a County Prince, and she had never admitted to picking up this County Prince's name either.
"Shen Jingli..."
"Please address me as Nanping County Prince."
"It's the opposite, it's the opposite …" Old Lady was so angry that her chest was in pain, she was powerless, and her crutch fell out of her hand as she continuously muttered.
There was hatred in Dehui County Lord's eyes as she said to the servant that followed over: "Hurry up and stop him, this County Owner does not believe that he would really dare to kill him."
Those servants hesitated for a moment. Under the County Owner's obscene might, they could only rush forward to save the mama.
In the end, they were beaten up by County Prince's Mansion's servants as well. That wet nurse had died on the spot, and those servants lay on the ground moaning in pain.
Old Lady Mu fainted when she saw the bloodstained body of the mama. She couldn't even get up in one breath.
Seeing that the person had really stopped breathing, Dehui County Lord was so angry that her entire body was trembling, and she said with anger burning in her heart: "Shen Jingli, you really did well, you …"
Shen Jingli's eyes became colder and colder. He looked at the family servant who was wailing and said coldly: "Send them back to Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion."
Dehui County Lord was finally afraid. She opened her eyes wide and roared: "You dare?"
"Why would I not dare?" He curled his lips in disdain, and his words were as cold as ice.

Dehui County Lord carried Old Lady Mu onto the carriage in a sorry state. Before he left, he glared at Shen Jingli with hatred.
Shen Jingli stood under the eaves of the building and watched as they left. He tightly clenched his fists, and his entire body was in a trance.
Jin Yu had always been amiable and lazy. When had she ever been so cold and collected? It was as if she had become a completely different person.
"Child, are you alright?" Third Old Lady stepped forward to hold Shen Jingli's hand. His five fingers were ice-cold and somewhat stiff.
"I'm fine." Shen Jingli regained his senses and smiled, then instructed Jin Yu: "Go and call the doctor to take a look at Nanny Jin."
Jin Yu looked at Shen Jingli's smiling face and felt that she had probably fallen into a trance.
"Madam, there's no need to ask a doctor. Just take some ointment and apply it." Nanny Jin quickly refused.
"Your injuries are not light. Let the doctor have a look." Her tone was as calm as ever, but it seemed like there was something different.
Nanny Jin felt Shen Jingli's change and didn't say anything else. She obediently followed Jin Yu and left.
Shen Jingli supported Third Old Lady into the house and ordered the servants to serve her some tea.
Third Old Lady looked at him with some worry, and asked with concern: "Child, are you really alright?"
"It's really nothing." He rubbed his cold fingers. He knew that this day would come sooner or later.
This was no longer the twenty-first century he was living in. In this world, there were no human rights, no freedom, no equality. Everything was in a hierarchical system, and power represented everything, and could control the life and death of others.
Having lived for nearly thirty years in the Age of Civilization, he needed time to get used to being suddenly relegated to the feudal era, especially to the capital, where the concept of level was prominent.
In a harmonious society, as long as he didn't break the law, he would be able to laze around for the rest of his life.
Her smile did not seem fake. Third Old Lady heaved a sigh of relief, held Shen Jingli's hand and said: "Good child, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Jin Yu rushed from the Nanny Jin's room to the main hall. On the way, she ran into a young man who was in a good mood, so she grabbed him and asked: "What's the good news? So happy? "
"Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion's carriage has flipped." He had seen Dehui County Lord fall out of the carriage with his own eyes, and he looked to be in a very sorry state.
"You did it?"
"What did I do? How could I possibly do such a thing? " He refused to admit it.
"If it wasn't for you, then why would the Hou Mansion's carriage capsize when everything was fine?" The Hou Mansion was only a few steps away from the County Prince's Mansion, how could this horse carriage flip so easily?
"I heard the wheels are broken." That was retribution.
Jin Yu could tell that he had done something, and scolded him in a low voice, "Be careful, don't let anyone catch you red-handed."
"Stop bullshitting, I didn't do anything." Don't throw dirty water on him. He's a good citizen.

When Marquis Zhen Yuan, Mu Yuanzhi returned to his residence, he saw the corpses of Luo mama and the servant screaming incessantly in front of his house. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The gatekeeper was worried about not knowing how to settle down. Upon hearing Mu Yuanzhi's question, he quickly replied: "Old Lady and County Owner went to the Nanping County Prince Manor, and the people from County Prince's Mansion sent these back."
Mu Yuanzhi immediately knew what was going on. It was nothing but his mother and his wife getting headaches again as they ran off to cause trouble at County Prince's Mansion. In the end, they were taught a lesson.
"Find someone to bury Senior Servant Luo properly, then ask the doctor to take a good look at her."
After he finished speaking, Mu Yuanzhi headed towards the courtyard of Dehui County Lord.
Dehui County Lord was so angry that sher heart was aching, she was lying on the bed and groaning. When Mu Yuanzhi came in and saw her look, he tightened his eyebrows even more.
"What are you trying to do by urging your mother to go to Zi An's wife's residence to cause trouble? Zi An's wife is a County Prince, he is personally bestowed the title of Emperor. Don't you have a brain? No wonder his son had chosen to stay at the yamen for the past few days rather than return to the prefecture.
"I …" Dehui County Lord was rendered speechless. She couldn't say that she completely disregarded Shen Jingli's title and such a foolish action would only enrage Mu Yuanzhi even more.
"You are the County Owner, don't you understand the rules of the palace?" What happened to the methods she used to clean up her concubine back then? The older you are, the more naive you are?
"Also, Zi An has already been expelled from the manor, so it's not up to you to use your status as elders to suppress him. Don't rely on the fact that you're the County Owner and the Marquis' wife to stay high and mighty, and don't always do foolish things that would implicate the house of the Marquis." The more Mu Yuanzhi spoke, the more stern he became, "You don't want face, my Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion cannot afford to lose this person."
"From today onwards, other than being summoned by the palace, you are not allowed to leave the manor. Just stay at home and recuperate." Mu Yuanzhi felt a little headache. This matter would probably spread out very quickly, and he would even lose face for Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion.
After saying what he wanted to say, Mu Yuanzhi did not stay behind to pacify the Dehui County Lord. Instead, he went to the courtyard of the Old Lady.
Old Lady Mu had already woken up, but when she thought about how Senior Servant Luo, who had accompanied her for so many years, had just died like that, she could not help but feel heartbroken.
"That damned Duo'er, he actually dared to kill Senior Servant Luo. He …"
The moment Mu Yuanzhi entered the door, he heard Old Lady Mu cursing at Shen Jingli. He sighed helplessly, "Mother, that's County Prince.
"What kind of County Prince is a lowly country bumpkin? I am his elder. " Old Lady Mu felt heartache for Senior Sister Luo, but she only had hatred towards Shen Jingli in her heart.
"Mother, no matter what background he has, he's currently a County Prince. Furthermore, Zi An has already been expelled out of the palace by you, so don't call yourself an elder and try to suppress him everywhere. " Mu Yuanzhi said bitterly, "Zi An did not let down the Marquis Mansion. Everything that he took away belonged to him. Do you know that others say that Yu'er framed you brother and stole Zi An's position as Prince? "
None of his colleagues knew anything about the Mu family's matter, but because Princess Fuan had a high status, the Emperor protected his family members, so he turned a blind eye. If this matter were to blow up and the Emperor became angry, then there would be no blood for sure.
"Who's talking nonsense. I will have his mouth torn apart. The position of the Prince should have belonged to Yu'er …"
Mu Yuanzhi looked at the furious Old Lady and suddenly felt powerless: "You think that Yu'er doesn't care about the position of the Prince at all. Didn't you realize that ever since you started targeting Zi An, Yu'er didn't come to your courtyard at all besides visiting to pay respects? In recent days, he hasn't even returned to his residence."
If they were allowed to continue like this, the Hou Mansion would eventually fall apart. His father was right, his mother became more and more muddled as she grew older.
"You're old. In the future, you can peacefully retire to your residence. I will take care of the matters outside."
Old Lady Mu did not expect her son to say such words. She opened her eyes widely and pointed at Mu Yuanzhi as she scolded, "You unfilial son, you actually helped outsiders to suppress your mother, unfilial son.
If he wasn't filial, then so be it, since he couldn't just watch as their Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion was destroyed. If it was, then he really wouldn't have the face to see the ancestors.
