Deputy Prefect Guan stood firm, refusing to yield, which only fueled the crowd’s excitement.
In the chaos, a porcelain bottle on a chest of drawers fell to the ground and shattered.
Taking advantage of the moment, Deputy Prefect Guan intensified the situation, insisting that the broken porcelain bottle was worth 1,000 taels of silver and demanded compensation.
This further angered the crowd, and chaos ensued.
An unknown person initiated the fighting, and soon the entire living room turned into a battleground.
Deputy Prefect Guan and the butler became victims of the violence, bearing the brunt of the attacks.
Their cries for help went unanswered as the servants rushed in, causing the attackers to disperse and flee.
The house was left in disarray, with overturned furniture and shattered artifacts strewn across the floor.
Even Deputy Prefect Guan’s jade pendant had been snatched away.
Hiding in the back, Mrs.
Guan had heard the commotion but was too scared to intervene.
When the attackers finally dispersed, she rushed out and was shocked at the scene before her.
Seeing her bruised and battered husband, she exclaimed, “Oh my God!
What sins have we committed?”
Hurrying to assist her husband, Mrs.
Guan expressed her concern, while Nanny Ding and Zhen Zhu helped Deputy Prefect Guan onto a chair.
The sight of the damaged living room added to Mrs.
Guan’s distress.
She exclaimed, “Aiyo, how did it end up like this?

Ridiculous, this is outrageous.”
Despite not being genuine antiques, the items in the living room held value, making the damage significant and heartbreaking.
The pair of beauties’ hairpins and plum bottles alone were valued at more than a hundred taels of silver.
Additionally, there was a jade mountain figure, hairpins, and a white jade with an elephant chime, with respective values of 80 taels and 110 taels.
While the rest of the items were not as exquisite, they still held value, each worth dozens of taels.
In total, the losses amounted to quite a substantial sum.
Regarding the furniture, all of it had been forcefully kicked to the ground, resulting in numerous bumps and bruises.
Some damages were subtle and could potentially be repaired by a skilled artisan, but others were irreparable and necessitated replacement.
The overall loss easily reached 2,000 taels of silver, leaving Mrs.
Guan on the verge of tears.
Deputy Prefect Guan, groaning from the pain, soon realized the severity of his injuries.
His left arm, when moved, caused intense pain, indicating a probable fracture.
Urgently, he called for a doctor to attend to his injuries.
As Deputy Prefect Guan assessed the room, he was horrified to see that half of a calligraphy painting hanging on the wall had been torn apart, with only the other half still swaying.
He exclaimed, “Ah!
My painting!
My painting!” This artwork, crafted by a renowned artist from the previous dynasty, had been a prized possession.
Deputy Prefect Guan had acquired it as a symbol of prestige, surpassing the combined value of everything else in the room.
Devastated by the irreparable damage to the cherished painting, Deputy Prefect Guan was overwhelmed with despair and fainted before he could catch his breath.
Mrs.
Guan, panicked and distraught, continuously called out to her husband, “Old Master!”
The doctor arrived just in time, and Deputy Prefect Guan slowly regained consciousness.
