The Rebirth of a Farm Girl from a Military Family and a Cannon Fodder Princess

Chapter 15 Clash (3)

Zisu: "I'm taking ten people with me, three of whom are guards!"

Shangguan Chengfeng: "Fine, write down a list for me now, and you will all leave the Marquis's residence today!"

Zisu: "Give me all the indentures!"

Shangguan Chengfeng said impatiently, "Of course I'll give it to you!"

Zisu immediately found a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote down the names of Xiangli, Haitang, Dingxiang, Yingtao, Luo Jianming, Pan Kang, Aunt Li, Uncle Li, and Li Mao. Yingtao was a third-class maid named Pangya, a strong woman with superhuman strength. Aunt Li and Uncle Li were a middle-aged couple, and Li Mao was their son, who was also a guard in the Marquis's mansion.

The Li family of three were brought from Yu's maternal home. However, their indentures were forcibly taken away by their aunt after news of Zisu's father's martyrdom arrived. As for the others, needless to say, their indentures were all obtained through a combination of coaxing, deception, and threats by their aunt, who managed to hold onto the indentures of everyone in the Marquis's mansion.

As for Luo Jianming and Pan Kang, they were former subordinates of Zisu's father in the army. Two years ago, they retired as captains and came to the Marquis's residence to serve as guards. These two were utterly loyal to Zisu's father. In their previous life, after Zisu's mother and younger brother were murdered, they were furious and tried every means to find out the truth. Furthermore, they openly beat Shangguan Chengfeng and resolutely left the Shangguan residence.

Shangguan Chengfeng took the list and stormed off in a huff.

The weather was fine, and the warm sunlight shone on the treetops, leaving dappled shadows in the courtyard.

Zisu stood at the doorway, looking at the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard, her mood suddenly brightening. Having won her first battle, some of the sorrow in her heart finally dissipated.

An hour later, Shangguan Chengfeng sent his steward with five thousand taels of silver and ten indentures. He also brought Luo Jianming, Pan Kang, and Li Da Niang's family of three with him.

In front of the steward, Zisu asked the ten people, "My wife and I are leaving the Marquis's residence today. Would you like to leave with us?"

"Yes!" all ten answered in unison.

Zisu nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Then you can go back and pack your things now. We'll leave the manor in half an hour!"

"Yes, Miss!" The ten people responded in unison and left to carry out their orders.

The steward then said to Zisu, "Then I'll be going. The master has ordered that Miss and Madam must leave today."

Zisu waved her hand at him: "I know, thank you!" This steward was not the steward who had been in charge of the Marquis's mansion for many years, but a steward who was promoted by the eldest branch of the family after seizing power. He was also the eldest uncle's loyal lackey.

Half an hour later, Zisu, along with her mother and ten subordinates, left the Changning Marquis's residence, whose plaque had already been removed. This time, she also took with her a purple tremolo wood screen from her mother's bedroom, as well as a dozen or so small and medium-sized ornaments.

Her uncle's family was eyeing her covetously, and her aunt and her entourage blocked the doorway, shouting sharply, "What are you doing? These belong to the Shangguan family, how can you take them away?"

Zisu rolled her eyes at her: "Why can't I take it? These are the furnishings from my mother's bedroom, they're part of her dowry, why can't I take them?"
