Chapter 344: The Imbalance of Peace
Butler Zhu immediately bowed. Although he was trying to restrain himself, he still couldn't help himself.
"Yes, there are so many people here. Normally, they wouldn't even come in to see a cat or a dog passing by. But today, they kept gossiping about other people's affairs and knocking on the door all morning. It's so annoying."
"Your master has found his long-lost daughter. It's normal to have more people." Le Yonghou comforted.
Butler Zhu had been calm at first, but he became even angrier when this was mentioned. "I know that. Look at the guy who usually looks down on others. He's here today. What's even more infuriating is that old man Wu Jiangan brought countless boxes of things to congratulate our grandfather for finding his long-lost daughter."
At this point, Butler Zhu suppressed his anger. Normally, Butler Zhu could be considered the spokesperson for emotional stability. Today he was so angry probably because he was annoyed.
Butler Zhu lowered his voice and said, "I couldn't refuse to take over those twenty-plus boxes of stuff. I ended up moving them to the warehouse. When I opened it, I found that they were all junk. I felt that after he cleaned up like this, the house became much cleaner."
Le Yonghou was not joking. This national teacher was the most vindictive. Today, the gossip about Wu Jiangan had spread from Kyoto Prefecture to other prefectures.
It was said that he failed to pick up girls and got beaten instead.
It seems that he came here specifically to disgust Marquis An Yong.
However, Marquis An Yong probably wouldn't care. After all, it was Wu Jiangan who was famous, not him and his own daughter.
After chatting about gossip, Butler Zhu apologized. He shouldn't have said so much, but he said a few more words because the visitor was Marquis Le Yong.
I brought Marquis Le Yong into the mansion. Marquis Anyong and Qi Ning'an were still sitting by the lake.
Le Yonghou was amazed from a distance, "How come such a nice little girl is fishing with her father? Oh my."
He had met Qi Ning'an before. This year's New Year's Eve dinner was still eaten in a restaurant in Kyoto, but this time it was a little different.
He always felt that the most rare quality of this young lady was her ability to remain calm in the face of adversity. He saw many dignitaries that day, even princesses and princesses came, but he did not see her fawning over anyone. She always smiled at everyone and welcomed them to dinner, being very graceful and generous.
"Congratulations, Xiuyi, you finally found the daughter you've always dreamed of." Gu Baishou said from a distance.
Qi Yi curled his lips. He still had some respect for his elder brother. Although the two of them had some personality differences, they also had a love-hate relationship, which did not affect their friendship at all.
Qi Yi motioned Qi Ning'an to bow together, "Thank you very much, Brother Gu, for your help and care over the years. I finally found my daughter."
The two smiled at each other, and today's politeness ended there.
……
Shen Ran, Li Qing, and even Mr. Bai, who had previously asked Qi Ning'an to prepare the banquet, all expressed shock.
Could this be a story from a vernacular novel?
Otherwise, how could it be so absurd that even Shen Ran called it outrageous.
You know, Qi Ning'an used to be a maid in the palace. I don't know the exact year she entered the palace. How can they check her household registration so casually?
But what is even more devastating is Anle.
Overnight, his sister, who was despised by him and his mother, became the legitimate daughter of the marquis's family. It turned out that he and his sister were not born to the same father.
He still remembers how the rumor was created and how the news was spread.
No way, this is impossible.
An Qiao, how did she turn from a sparrow into a phoenix? !
Impossible, how is this possible?
They grew up together, so why is he still rotting in the field? And An Qiao can turn from a sparrow into a phoenix?
It must be that An Yonghou had made a mistake, and he was going to stop it from happening. He was going to tell An Yonghou how An Qiao could possibly be his biological daughter.
By then, An Qiao would become the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto Prefecture, while he himself would become the hero who saved the Marquis' Mansion.
There was a sudden noisy sound outside.
"Brother An, Brother An, it is said that your useless sister has become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. Is it true? Isn't she the daughter of your useless father?" Brother Li, who used to be on good terms with him, ran in from another room in a hurry.
An Le was already feeling irritated at the moment, and became even more annoyed when she heard the voice. "What is that? She must have used some tricks of a foxy woman. Otherwise, how could a wild chicken turn into a phoenix? I will go to the Marquis' Mansion to expose her in a moment. Haha, my father loves her like the apple of his eye, how could she not be his biological daughter?"
Brother Li usually received a lot of benefits from Anle, and seeing this, he also agreed, "Brother An, what you said makes sense. I have seen your useless sister many times, and she is not outstanding in appearance. How could she be the daughter of a high and mighty marquis? Brother An, you'd better go and stop her quickly, otherwise it will be too late, and she will lose a lot of benefits."
Anle nodded, agreeing, "Brother Li, please wait here. I'll be back soon."
In fact, if Anle hadn't said this, Brother Li would not have followed him again. He still remembered the sense of urgency he felt when Anqiao threw him out of the Kyoto restaurant last time. How could he possibly provoke that young lady and stir up troubled waters?
Anle looks quite clever, but in fact he cannot stand any provocation and is quite conceited.
If he hadn't been serving them well every day, they wouldn't have been willing to be his younger brothers. To be honest, they felt very embarrassed when they went to the rich and powerful to seek an audience last time.
Anle doesn't seem to be like the image he has created himself. Instead, he seems a little unpresentable.
Before this Brother Li left Anle's room, Anle changed into a somewhat presentable set of clothes and left in a rage.
I don’t know if Anle was too straightforward or if there was something wrong with his cerebellum, but he went straight to the Yong’an Marquis Mansion without thinking.
He didn't even care about the gossip about Wu Jiangan in Kyoto Prefecture today. Instead, he felt that it was a done deal and he could shake the situation on his own.
Wu Jiangan was beaten by his father till he couldn't get out of bed. In the past, as long as his mother cried, his father would stop beating her. No matter how angry his father was, he would endure it and just say a few words to him.
But when she returned home that day, although her mother was crying, she could think of the loss of that good farm because this incident caused an uproar in the whole city.
In the end, I couldn't stop my father from beating him.
……
When I knocked on the door, Butler Zhu opened the door with a gloomy face. Perhaps he was afraid of making a mistake, so he calmed down and asked.
"Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
Seeing that it was a young man he had never seen before, Butler Zhu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. There were so many people coming to his house today, some of whom he had never seen before, and they came up to him to claim to be relatives for no reason.
