The few women were used to being sought after by others because they were branch family members of the Mu family. They had never been scolded by others like today, and such people were fearless. A sense of shame could help them overcome all their fears.
After the initial shock and fear, they quickly reacted and were replaced by unprecedented anger. They felt that they had been offended.
“You wild girl, don’t think that you can do whatever you want now that you’ve entered our Mu family. Let me tell you, even if we really do something to you today, the former master will definitely help us when the time comes.”
When the servants of the Mu family heard that woman’s loud shout, they all frowned at the same time. They were speechless. Where did this person’s confidence come from? The former master would abandon his granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson in favor of a distant relative?
However, these women obviously did not have enough brain capacity. After being incited by that woman, they really thought that they were amazing and started to chime in loudly. They were all talking like vegetable peddlers haggling in a market. Some of them even wanted to fight with Zhao Youlin…
At that moment, a stern and cold voice suddenly came from upstairs with a hint of anger. “Enough!”
The few women who were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws at Zhao Youlin froze. They followed the servants and looked up. They saw the former master and Mu Tingfeng standing at the stairs on the second floor, looking down at them with cold eyes. They didn’t know how long they had been standing there.
When the two of them appeared, the women withdrew their hands guiltily. The surrounding servants also lowered their heads and kept quiet in fear. Only Zhao Youlin smiled calmly. As if she had already expected the outcome, she turned around and walked back. She reached out to hold Joy’s hand and patted his little head to comfort her.
The former master followed Mu Tingfeng downstairs. He did not pay any attention to the women. He walked straight to Zhao Youlin and asked with concern, “Are you hurt?”
Zhao Youlin shook her head. “These people can’t hurt me.”
Mu Tingfeng’s expression did not improve because of Zhao Youlin’s answer. His eyes were gloomy as he stared at the women in front of him. He wanted to tear them apart immediately.
Just as he was fuming, Mu Tingfeng suddenly felt the hem of his clothes becoming heavier. He lowered his head and saw Joy looking up at him with a pouting face. He shouted crisply, “Daddy, these bad guys said that daddy doesn’t like mommy. They even said that mommy only married daddy because of the little baby in her tummy. If she didn’t have the little baby, daddy and great-grandfather won’t like mommy anymore. They even said… They even said that daddy doesn’t like me.”
As Joy spoke, she stared at those women with his big eyes.
Unfortunately, his chubby face was too cute. Instead of warning them, he stared at them with his big eyes as if he was… acting coquettishly.
Zhao Youlin burst into laughter when she saw this. She realized that her son was… complaining?
Mu Tingfeng was also stunned by his son’s rare show of intimacy. After he realized what the child had done, his originally gloomy face became a little gentler. He reached out and rubbed Joy’s little head and praised, “Yes, good boy. Daddy will deal with it.”

When Joy heard Mu Tingfeng’s words, he nodded, raised his head and puffed out his chest. He looked extremely pleased with himself. His big eyes continued to stare at the women as if he was saying, “Hmph, my daddy is here…” If you continue to bully me and mom, dad will definitely teach you a lesson!
Joy’s little act of using a fox to intimidate a tiger was really cute, to the point that the surrounding crowd could not help but laugh.
When the women heard Joy’s “complaint,” they finally recovered from their shock. After realizing that the former master might listen to the words of a child, they hurriedly went forward. They were prepared to be the first to make a complaint. “Sir, it’s not what you think. This child is lying. It’s your granddaughter-in-law. She…”
Before the woman could finish, Joy shouted, “I didn’t lie. You all said it yourself. We all heard it!”
As Joy spoke, he turned to look at Alice, who was the first to speak up for them.
Alice received Joy’s pleading gaze. Although she knew that it was not her place to speak, she still could not refuse a child’s request. She took a deep breath and took a step forward. She said in a low voice, “Sir, we did hear it in the kitchen. These few… Madams spoke ill of Young Madam and Young Master Joy loudly outside. After being questioned by us, not only did she not admit it, they even threatened us and the Young Madam. She said that once she gave birth to the child, she would make the Young Madam regret it.”
“Little girl, what nonsense are you spouting? The masters are talking. Why are you interrupting? Do you know the rules?”
“That’s right, that’s right… who brought this girl in? She doesn’t know the rules at all…” When they heard Alice’s words, their expressions changed, and they immediately pointed all the blame at her.
Unfortunately, before they could continue, the former master’s cold gaze suddenly shot over them. The warning in his eyes made them instinctively shiver.
In fact, the former master and Mu Tingfeng had already walked out of the study room when they heard the argument. The reason why they didn’t come down immediately was to find out the whole story. They also believed that Zhao Youlin could handle it. If they waited just a little longer, they could use these foolish women for Zhao Youlin to demonstrate her might and let the people of the Mu family see how powerful their Young Madam was.

The former master’s sharp gaze swept over the women one by one. He said, “Send the ladies out. Don’t let any random people in here in the future. Otherwise, all of you will get lost together with them.”
The former master’s succinct reply stunned everyone, including the women. The head butler was the first to react. He took a step forward and walked in front of the stunned women. “Ladies, this way, please.”
The women finally realized what had happened. Their expressions changed, and they hurriedly said, “Wait, wait, wait. What did you just say? We… We…”
They must have misheard it. The former master would not treat them so cruelly. It was impossible.
The women lied to themselves and comforted themselves. Unfortunately, the former master did not intend to give them what they wanted.
