The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress-Chapter 845 - 825: The Struggle for the Throne 7

"It’s bad, it’s bad."

Xiao Yuan was chatting with his brother-in-law when a young servant rushed in from outside: "Lord, it’s bad, the lords in the Nuan Pavilion are fighting."

Xiao Yuan glanced at the young servant with indifference: "If they’re fighting, let them fight. Why tell me? Am I supposed to go out and mediate? Instead of finding the master, you come to me, someone who’s in confinement."

The young servant’s expression turned a bit sour.

Xiao Yuan called out: "Ru Yi, take him out and sell him."

The young servant immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Lord, spare me, Lord, please have mercy. I’m sent by the Imperial Household Department, I..."

Xiao Yuan sneered: "Ru Yi, no need to sell him, just send him back to the Imperial Household Department, and tell them our Fifth Princess Manor can’t afford such servants."

The young servant’s face turned pale, and tears streamed down: "Lord, I..."

"Gag him and drag him out."

Xiao Yuan’s expression immediately turned sharp, and Ru Yi quickly gagged the young servant and dragged him out.

Xiao Yuan lowered his head, thinking that the original owner was indeed somewhat incompetent. He couldn’t even manage the servants in his own courtyard. This had happened multiple times, with strangers rushing in without anyone stopping them. It seemed it was time to reorganize this Imperial Princess Mansion.

Anning was in the front yard entertaining guests when Qingyu ran over and whispered a few words in her ear.

Anning smiled and said a few words to the guests in the front yard, then headed towards the Nuan Pavilion with Qingyu.

As they walked, Anning asked Qingyu: "What happened? Why did they start fighting?"

Qingyu whispered: "The Seventh Princess kept a concubine outside, and Lord Shi found out. He couldn’t hold back and started a fight, then Lord Feng and the Tenth Princess also started fighting." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Anning nodded.

When she reached the Nuan Pavilion, she saw a mess of cups and plates everywhere. Mrs. Feng, from who knows where, had gotten a feather duster and was hitting the Tenth Princess’s backside, while shouting: "Acting tough, huh? Feeling capable, huh? Going outside and boasting, not even looking at your tiny frame..."

Meanwhile, Mrs. Shi was crying and pulling the Seventh Princess’s ear: "If the wife can’t stand me, just divorce me, or simply strangle me with a rope. Why torture me like this? If you fancy someone, bring them into the manor honorably. Am I going to kill him? You kept someone outside, everyone knew but me, how am I supposed to live? What are people saying about me outside? I know the wife despises me, might as well let me make way for someone new, I’d also be free, and wouldn’t stand in the wife’s way."

The Sun Family was also making a scene with the Eleventh Imperial Princess: "You all knew about Seventh Sister keeping a concubine, yet you’re here drinking and celebrating. Do you all have that intention too? In our manor, you have Secondary Prince Consort and junshi, have I said anything? Even a pile of male pets, I haven’t done anything with any. Now you want to keep a concubine? Do you want to shame my entire face? Speak up."

In a moment of carelessness, he pushed the Eleventh Imperial Princess onto the snow outside.

The other lords, recalling sad memories, began crying one after another, making quite the lively scene.

Anning arrived and coughed heavily: "Everyone, whatever it is, let’s talk about it later. I’ll call someone to clean up here. Let’s eat and drink, alright?"

As she spoke, she had the servants she brought calm the situation while shielding the princesses, as it wasn’t an honorable sight for them to end up with bruised faces.

It took a great deal of effort to calm them all down.

Anning then cupped her fists towards Mrs. Shi: "Seventh Brother-in-law, don’t say everyone knows Seventh Sister kept a concubine. I didn’t know. I imagine only Tenth Sister, Eleventh Sister, and Twelfth Sister know. Others likely just heard of it. However, she’s indeed at fault here, and it’s understandable for Seventh Brother-in-law to be upset. In my opinion, now that it’s known, she should just bring him back openly. Don’t you agree?"

Mrs. Shi glared fiercely at the Seventh Princess, then turned to Anning with a smile: "Fifth Sister is right, he should be brought back."

The Seventh Princess was startled and wanted to say something, but recalling the earlier commotion, she couldn’t find the words.

Anning chuckled softly: "If that’s settled, let’s do it properly, clear away these cups and plates, and I’ll have a new setting prepared."

She busied herself, having the broken things cleared out and a new setting arranged.
