My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Chapter 171 Madam's martial arts have improved again. She woke up just in time.

Yalan Garden is a courtyard owned by the eldest princess. When she was young, she loved to hold banquets there. Later, as she got older, she got tired of it and handed it over to her daughter to manage. The young princess was thoughtful and money-loving, so she renovated Yalan Garden and made it a beautiful place in all seasons.

Then, with a clear price tag, the princess's private garden was turned into a party garden with four-season themes.

This aroused warm welcome from the ladies of each family. After all, the scenery of their own homes cannot be changed frequently and it is extremely expensive to maintain.

With the Yalan Garden, there is no such trouble. There is a courtyard for small gatherings and a courtyard for banquets. A few sisters can have a small gathering, which is quiet and peaceful. A few gentlemen can have a small courtyard to drink tea and discuss learning. There are rare and precious plants, pavilions and towers in the garden.

There are special maids and waiters here, all of whom were taught by the maids in the palace, as well as royal chefs rewarded by the palace and master chefs specializing in various localities.

It is more grand than the average home banquet and is very popular among ladies and girls.

As long as you pay money, you can enjoy the treatment of a royal banquet here. Not only do the ladies and young ladies love to gather here, but even the masters and young men from wealthy families also like to come here.

It was obvious that the Marquis' Mansion was running out of money, but Old Madam He still made such a big fuss, wanting her to pay for the banquet and then get the money for gifts. Alas, how can I put it, it was extremely stupid.

"Old Madam, I am very pleased that you are thinking of me like this. Please tell her to worry about me. I will hold the promotion banquet at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

The steward came to ask for money, but he was beaten before he even opened his mouth. He was wondering in his heart, after all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, how could the banquet be held at her parents' home? But he didn't dare to talk back, for fear of being beaten, so he could only answer: "I will report the princess' decision to the old lady."

"Then go and report back!" Su Muxi replied calmly, "Let Erzhi escort the steward."

"This is outrageous," Old Madam He was so angry after hearing the steward's report that she threw the tea dregs on the ground. "This is simply lawless. She is a grandchild and she doesn't even care about filial piety. I was so anxious to prepare a banquet for her, but she was so embarrassed to save my face. You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. I am her grandmother."

The Seventh Lady was smiling with her handkerchief covering her face. She was so overestimating herself. When Su Muxi was not back, she was plotting against her, using her kidnapping and unclear chastity as threats to ask for money from the Duke of Zhenguo. Now that Su Muxi had become a princess, he wanted to get money from her again.

Which woman can be crowned a princess on her own merits? Instead of trying to curry favor, she dreams of setting rules. Her head must have been caught by the door!

Madam He suppressed her anger and said, "Go and invite the Marquis, the Marquis' wife, and the Crown Prince to come here."

While he was getting angry with me, Marquis Yong'an was also feeling uncomfortable. He didn't dare to ask anything even though his wife was right beside him. When my people came over, he had a place to vent his anger.

"What's the meaning of Yayuan? The emperor gave her a house as a reward. You don't have to worry about it. Go and tell mother not to always listen to the third son's wife. She has no peace every day."

The voice of Yong'an Marquis was as loud as a bell. "Tell them not to make trouble every day. I am the master of this mansion now. If they make trouble for me again, I will have the gate of the main courtyard sealed. Get out, get out now."

The maid who reported the incident was so frightened that she ran to Madam He's yard with tears on her face.

Madam He was still waiting for her son to help her, but she didn't expect to hear such words. Before she could react, the Third Madam started crying, "I have worked hard to run the family. For the sake of the Marquis's face, I even spent my dowry. Mother-in-law, you have to make the decision for me!"

She was already angry, and when the Third Lady spoke, it reminded Madam He of the deposit she had spent on those nice things. She was so angry that she fainted.

The whole mansion was in chaos. The Seventh Madam had been watching the show for a long time and finally stood up to take charge of the situation. "Why are you all crying? Hurry up and help the old lady lie down on the bed."

Madam Qi called up the butler who had been slapped in the face, "You, go and call the doctor right away."

Finally, he said to the terrified Third Madam, "Third sister-in-law, you have made the old lady angry. You take care of this. I will tell the Marquis about what happened today. With such a big incident, you have to come out and take charge of the situation."

The Third Lady was frightened at first, but when she heard this, she wanted to keep the person. However, the Seventh Lady had already imitated her and walked away with her skirt fluttering.

The Marquis's mansion was in real chaos. Finally, it was Marquis Yong'an who came and stabilized the situation. He sent someone with a visiting card to ask the imperial physician to treat Old Madam He.

Marquis Yong'an's word was law. He dismissed the third wife and replaced her with the seventh wife.

The Seventh Madam finally got the power to run the household, so naturally she would not let it go, "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely arrange everything."

The Third Lady had tears in her eyes but she didn't dare to refute. The Seventh Son's wife caused her son to break his leg. Would she still be in good hands after she took power?

The cigarettes and the others were left in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. The news soon reached Su Muxi's ears. Su Muxi heard it and put it aside as she had other things to deal with.

Su Muxi was busy until late at night. She went over everything and made sure everything was arranged before going to bed.

She had just fallen asleep when she heard the noise. The only person who could reach her room at this time was Xiao Yunjin. Su Muxi hesitated whether to wake up or not.

Xiao Yunjin is a difficult person to deal with. If he wakes up, he will have to fight with me in a battle of wits and courage. If he doesn't wake up, he will definitely be taken advantage of by this person. Just as he was thinking about this, Xiao Yunjin came to the window.

Su Muxi was afraid that this man would light the incense again, so she covered her mouth and nose with a quilt, and also concealed her breath a little. After all, Xiao Yunjin was good at martial arts, and if she held her breath, Xiao Yunjin would soon find out that she was awake.

Su Muxi didn't dare to move, but Xiao Yunjin was at ease. Now he was aboveboard. He glanced at the blurry figure with a smile in his eyes, and moved over with light steps.

The dark eyes were frighteningly bright in the night. Xiao Yunjin stared at Su Muxi's figure while taking off his clothes.

Xiao Yunjin made a lot of noise, not hiding his desire at all. Su Muxi cursed him inwardly and turned over and threw the pillow away.

Xiao Yunjin caught the pillow, held it in his arms, and said with a smile, "Madam's martial arts have improved again. She woke up just in time."

This bastard, Su Muxi didn’t want to wake up, but seeing Xiao Yunjin’s blatant actions, if she didn’t wake up, she would be really pretending. Xiao Yunjin didn’t know how proud and unscrupulous he was.

"Why is the prince here now?"

Xiao Yunjin took off all his clothes except for his underwear, and hugged the pillow to get closer to the bed, "Of course I missed my wife, so I hurried over here."

Su Muxi sat on the bed and put her hand on the pillow, "It's dirty, go wash up."

"I took a bath when I came here," Xiao Yunjin lowered his head and stared into Su Muxi's eyes, "Madam, if you think I'm dirty somewhere, I'll go wash it again."

Su Muxi was smooth-talking. She pushed him back a few steps with her hands, "Everywhere is dirty. Yingge, prepare some water."

Su Muxi shouted loudly, but got no response. She frowned and was about to get angry when Xiao Yunjin leaned over and said, "Everywhere is dirty, I will wash it more. Madam, there is no need to shout. I have sent the maids in your courtyard away."

Bastard! Su Muxi was angry and wanted to attack again. Xiao Yunjin dodged for a moment and put the pillow in Su Muxi's arms. "Madam, wait for me obediently."
