Chapter 36. The heavy door was kicked away with a single kick?
Ziyu looked around. The gates of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion were tightly closed, and it didn't look like they were going to receive guests at all.
"Sister Wei, I'll go ask."
Ziyu stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the Marquis's residence.
Before long, a head popped out from inside. It was a young servant with a sharp and mean face.
"Who are you looking for?"
Ziyu had never been treated like this before, and immediately said with a cold face, "I am from the Princess's residence, and I have come by order of Her Majesty the Empress to treat the heir of the Duke of Qi. How dare the Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence not send anyone to greet me?"
The servant squeezed through the crack in the door, arms crossed, and said, “Auntie, today is a big day for the Zhenyuan Marquis’s residence! The genius of Divine Physician Valley has arrived, and even the princes have come. The auspicious time has passed, so the middle gate cannot be opened. If you wish to enter, Auntie…”
The servant pointed to the side gate of the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence as he spoke.
"So we could only enter through the side door."
Ziyu was furious. How dare the people from the Princess's Mansion, a mere Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, let them enter through the side gate?
How is this any different from humiliating the eldest princess?
"You're talking nonsense. It's just that a prodigy from Divine Physician Valley is treating the young master. What's with all this talk about an auspicious time? This isn't a wedding celebration at the Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence..."
The servant chuckled and said smugly, "Auntie, what you're saying is quite a joyous occasion. How can inviting the genius physician Gu Tianjiao not be considered a happy event?"
"you……"
Ziyu was about to argue with the servant when Zhou Wei grabbed her arm.
Ziyu said angrily, "Sister Wei, the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion is clearly humiliating us by doing this."
Zhou Wei remained quite calm.
It is indeed an insult to prevent people from using the main entrance.
But it wasn't the princess's residence that was humiliated, but Empress Jian Xiyan!
After all, they had come to the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence today on the imperial decree of Jian Xiyan.
Ziyu thought for a moment and then came up with an idea: "Sister Wei, why don't we go in through the side door and settle accounts with Marquis Zhenyuan after we get inside?"
"Return to the princess's residence and report to her, so that Her Majesty the Empress will punish the Zhenyuan Marquis's family..."
That's certainly a solution, but it's too frustrating!
Instead of waiting for Empress Jian Xiyan to punish the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion indirectly, it's better to demolish it now.
When people lack manners, everything becomes easy!
"There's no need for that," Zhou Wei said with a smile.
He then looked at the servant and asked one last time, "Are you sure you don't want to open the middle gate now and insist that we use the side gate?"
The servant thought Zhou Wei had given in when he heard her say that.
She nodded smugly and said, "That's exactly right, Aunt."
it is good!
Zhou Wei wasn't angry; she simply reminded Ziyu, "Move back a bit."
Ziyu understood and immediately stepped back, standing behind Zhou Wei.
Seeing this, the servant looked surprised and uncertain, not understanding what Zhou Wei was planning to do.
“Aunt, what are you planning to do? If you want to enter through the side door, then come with me! If you block the main entrance and the steward sees you, it won’t look good.”
Zhou Wei chuckled, "Don't worry, how could I not be beautiful? If I'm not beautiful, I'll show you something beautiful!"
After saying that, without waiting for the servant to react, Zhou Wei took two steps back and sprinted towards the gate.
boom----
A tremendous sound rang out, as if a giant boulder weighing a thousand pounds had crashed to the ground, causing the earth to shake violently!
The servant was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud.
Smoke and dust filled the air, making people cough.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the servant looked at the scene before him, his face completely drained of color!
This……
Where is the gate of the Marquis's mansion?
How come half of it is missing?!
The servant exclaimed in surprise, "You, you, you kicked down the gate of the Marquis's mansion?"
Zhou Wei remained calm and patted the dust off her dress.
He looked at the bronze gate that had already flown into the courtyard with a disdainful expression.
What material is it made of?
Dare to challenge her golden right foot, which is as powerful as a cannon?
Ziyu clapped enthusiastically, cheering wildly: "Sister Wei! You're amazing! You actually kicked the door open."
To be precise, it was kicked away!
The commotion attracted the attention of the people in the Marquis's residence.
A man who looked like a steward came running out, tumbling and crawling, followed by several fully armed guards.
When the steward saw the gate of the Marquis's mansion lying on the ground, he was terrified!
"How dare you! Who would dare cause trouble in the Marquis's residence?"
Several guards immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Zhou Wei and Ziyu.
Undeterred, Ziyu stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
The steward was filled with doubt and uncertainty; Ziyu's aura made him feel that she was no ordinary person.
"I am Steward Zhang from the Marquis's residence, you wait..."
Ziyu raised her head proudly: "We come from the Princess's residence, on the orders of Her Majesty the Empress, to the Marquis of Zhenyuan's residence to treat the young master's illness, but we were unexpectedly stopped at the door."
"Since you are the steward of the Marquis's mansion, let me ask you, is this how your Marquis's mansion treats its guests?"
"Is the Zhenyuan Marquis's way of treating guests a sign of dissatisfaction with the Eldest Princess, or with the Empress?"
After being accused of several serious offenses, the butler's face visibly paled.
His straight back immediately hunched over, and he shouted at the guards.
"Put your knives away! These are distinguished guests of the Marquis's mansion. Don't you all have any sense of propriety?"
The guards immediately put away their weapons and retreated.
The steward rushed to Ziyu's side, fawningly saying, "Aunt, please don't be angry. I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness..."
Ziyu waved her hand and pointed to the servant blocking the door.
"Is this person from your Marquis's residence? He not only blocked my and Aunt Zhou Wei's way, but also made my aunt and me enter through the small gate of the Marquis's residence."
"Is this the intention of your Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion to humiliate us like this?"
Upon hearing this, the butler broke out in a cold sweat.
Just yesterday, the lady instructed us to treat the people from the princess's residence well, but unexpectedly, we offended them in the blink of an eye.
The steward glanced at the servant who was kneeling on the ground in fear and asked sternly, "Whose subordinate are you?"
The servant trembled and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, his previous arrogant attitude completely gone.
The butler narrowed his eyes: "If you don't talk, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks!"
“Your indentures are all in the Marquis’s mansion. Even if you are beaten to death, the government will not care.”
The servant was so frightened that he immediately cried out, "Steward Zhang, I only started serving at the Marquis's residence these past two days. This morning, a lady from the inner courtyard brought me some silver and told me to stand guard at the gate and stop the people from the Princess's residence."
"And they even said...and they even said this was Madam's idea..."
"Nonsense!" Butler Zhang immediately rebuked him. "Madam has long instructed me that the princess's aunt is a distinguished guest, and there is no reason to treat her poorly."
"I think you're just asking for trouble, not telling the truth! Guards, drag him away and give him thirty lashes. If he doesn't die, throw him into the woodshed and wait for the madam to deal with him."
Two guards stepped forward and carried the trembling servant away.
Ziyu frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.
This approach, on the surface, seems to be venting her and Zhou Wei's anger.
The butler glossed over who actually instigated the incident!
The housekeeper's actions clearly indicated an attempt to downplay the matter and appease everyone.
Zhou Wei didn't care: "Since the person has already been dealt with, let's not waste any more time."
Upon hearing this, Butler Zhang immediately bowed and welcomed Ziyu and Zhou Wei inside.
Before leaving, he instructed several guards: "Quickly lift the gate and fix it properly. What kind of appearance is it to leave it open like this?"
Because Zhou Wei kicked the door so loudly, many noble stewards in Dagongfang opened their doors to watch the commotion.
Seeing that half of the gate of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion was gone, everyone's expression was quite interesting!
The guards tried together to lift the gate, but after a long time, the gate didn't budge.
The group exchanged bewildered glances.
How did that fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl manage to kick open such a heavy door?
This is absolutely unbelievable!
