Chapter 620: No Leaving the Residence
Ling Wei was exasperated, is this the courtesy of the Duke Mansion?
She hadn’t yet served tea to her in-laws, so she hadn’t been recognized by them.
Even if she had married a concubine’s son, this was no way to treat people.
She turned around and rushed outside, she wanted to go back to the Changping Marquis Mansion! She wanted her parents to come and judge for her!
Jiang Han clenched his fists with anger when he heard the maid’s words. Since Lady Wu returned to the mansion, his life had fallen from heaven to hell.
His mother told him to endure a little longer, saying that his uncle had already sent people to find martial arts experts, and once Jiang Youzhi was killed, everything would be just like before.
Jiang Han glanced menacingly at the window of the main room and turned to leave.
He hadn’t yet received the news and didn’t know that Aunt Su had already been tied up, nor that all the servants in Aunt Su’s courtyard had been tied up, and even less that the entire Su Mansion’s downfall was imminent.
As soon as the two returned to the courtyard, Ling Wei instructed the maid, "Pack my things, I’m going back to the mansion."
Jiang Han heard Ling Wei’s words, "You can only return in three days, today is only the second day, if you go back now, it’s against the rules. What will people think of me?"
Ling Wei glared at Jiang Han, "Why should I care what others think of you?"
"I can’t even see my in-laws on the second day of my wedding, what will people think of me?"
"I must have my parents seek justice for this matter."
Jiang Han frowned in thought, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Fine, they may disregard me, but they cannot disregard the Changping Marquis Mansion."
Ling Wei’s personal maid then asked in a low voice, "Miss, for packing up, do you just need a few days’ clothes and items, or—" she glanced at Jiang Han and dared not continue.
Jiang Han frowned, "Do you still need to pack? Isn’t it just a trip back, you’ll return immediately, right?"
Ling Wei lifted her head, "Of course I need to pack, if the Duke and Duchess don’t come to pick me up personally, I won’t come back."
Jiang Han thought that as the legitimate eldest daughter of the Changping Marquis Mansion, she naturally had this confidence. Indeed, if his father personally went to the Changping Marquis Mansion to apologize, then from now on, the servants at the mansion would no longer dare to look down on him. So, he said nothing further.
Ling Wei quickly packed her things, ordered a carriage to be hitched, and went out through the side gate.
Who would’ve thought that at the side gate, the carriage was stopped by the guards.
Ling Wei’s maid got off the carriage, ran over to inquire, and came back to report to Ling Wei, "Miss, they’re not letting us leave the mansion. They say that the Duke has lost something important, and until it’s found, no one is allowed out."
Ling Wei was displeased upon hearing this, "What nonsense, do they suspect me of being a thief?"
"There’s no reason to stop anyone, let alone me. I’ll go out today no matter what!"
Ling Wei got off the carriage angrily and pointed at the guards stopping the carriage, "Get out of my way! I’m leaving the mansion."
A guard bowed to Ling Wei, "Second Madam, please forgive us, but we are following the Duke’s orders. We hope you won’t make it difficult for us."
Although the guard was respectful, the meaning of his words was firm.
Ling Wei was furious, sneeringly said, "Today, I just have to go out, let’s see who dares stop me!"
She stepped forward while speaking.
The guards exchanged glances and raised their spears to block Ling Wei’s path.
Ling Wei couldn’t push her way through; as a young lady, it was impossible to shove and push with these guards.
She stomped her foot, feeling deeply humiliated, and returned to the carriage in tears.
The coachman helplessly drove the carriage back to the second gate.
Back in her own courtyard, Ling Wei walked inside in a huff.
