Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Shangguan Qingyue and his party had only been gone for three days when the letters and food sent to the capital were delivered to Xuanyuan Yan without a break.

There was no other way. As the most capable Flying Eagle Guards around their master, they were repeatedly criticized by the capital for being too slow and ineffective. How could they tolerate this?

Even if they felt wronged, they could only endure it. Could it be that they went to complain to their master because the little ancestor had not taken any action? Even if they had a hundred guts, they would not dare to tamper with the tiger's whiskers!

Look, according to the normal speed, it would take ten days to get from Shancang County to the capital, but they shortened it by two days and arrived in just eight days.

This time, the one who came was the second-in-command of the Flying Eagle Guard in Shancang County. As for the first-in-command, he was acting as a secret guard to escort Shangguan Qingyue and others along the way.

Xuanyuan Yan did not show any joy after taking the things, but anyone who knew him well could tell from his relaxed brows and gentle expression that his master was in a very good mood.

After there was no one else in the study, Xuanyuan Yan slightly raised the corner of his mouth, stroked the thin letter with his fingers, and stared at the bouquet of flowers on the desk in a daze.

The sunflowers bloom warmly and brilliantly, and will never fade.

He couldn't help but chuckle. Only that clever girl could make something so strange! I really don't know how she came up with this idea. The bouquet was so realistic that no one in the house could tell it was fake except him and Qing Yi.

A few days ago, a maid added water to the vase while tidying the study.

Qing Yi happened to see it at that time, and he used all his life's skills, but he couldn't get there in time to stop it. The maid who was cleaning the room turned around and saw him, with strange movements and a desperate look on her face.

She was so frightened that she squatted on the ground, her face turned frighteningly pale, thinking she had committed some terrible mistake.

Qingyi didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled the bouquet out of the vase. Fortunately, the stems of the flowers were slender, and the water in the vase couldn't soak the flowers for a while.

He immediately took it outside to dry, and it was almost indistinguishable from the original.

However, this matter certainly could not be concealed, so Qing Yi pulled the maid and told Xuanyuan Yan the truth.

The maid, who had already understood the situation, was shocked and frightened at the time, but deep down she was still slightly excited. She had been in the mansion for nearly three years, and this was the first time she had seen her master so closely.

While the maid was still daydreaming, Qing Yi's back was already soaked with sweat. He knew that this matter would not be so easy to get through!

After a long silence, Xuanyuan Yan finally spoke:

"Since even such a small matter can go wrong, then from now on no one else is allowed to enter my study. I will leave the cleaning and tidying up to you."

When Qing heard this, his mouth dropped open. Did he now have another job as a cleaning boy? !

He glanced at the confused maid kneeling on the ground beside him, and then looked at Xuanyuan Yan aggrievedly, thinking: When did the master start to be kind to women? Why did he punish only him?

Then Xuanyuan Yan snorted and continued:

"Since you like watering flowers so much, then transfer you to take care of the flowers and plants in the mansion. Remember, you must not touch my pot of Moon Palace Fairy!"

His eyes were sharp and the pressure from his body was released suddenly, shattering all the fantasies of the maid. His face turned pale.

She had worked so hard and finally climbed to the position of a first-class maid, and had a great opportunity to get close to her master, but it was ruined by a bunch of fake flowers! How hateful!

Being able to survive in a place like the palace where people are eaten without leaving any bones, Xuanyuan Yan could see the strangeness in the maid's eyes at a glance. So after she left, he made a decision.

“Qingyi, tell Uncle Zheng and Madam Wu to give them half a month to find out all the servants in the mansion who have bad intentions.

Regardless of where they came from, we will send them all to the manor outside the capital. There is no need to hire more servants, as too many people will only be an eyesore.”

Qing Yi was terrified after hearing these words. Is the master going to openly go against the one in the palace? To be cautious, he opened his mouth to confirm:

"Your Highness, do you mean... that this also includes the people given by the Imperial Concubine?"

"I told you not to ask questions. Do you need me to emphasize this again?"

"I dare not. I will do it right away." Qing Yi had nothing to understand. Since the master had spoken, they, as servants, had nothing to worry about.

The old man Zheng and the old woman Wu mentioned by Xuanyuan Yan are a couple in their forties. The man is the housekeeper, and the woman is responsible for taking care of various trivial matters. The man is responsible for the outside affairs, and the woman is responsible for the inside affairs. Both of them are sharp-eyed and quick-handed people. Together, they are a strong combination.

However, the two have been controlled by others over the years, and it was not until today that they had the opportunity to show their talents.

Especially Mother Wu, who was originally responsible for the affairs of the rear house. Unfortunately, the young master had not gotten married yet, and there was no mistress in the mansion, so there was no place for her to use her skills.

In addition, Concubine Jing has given her many old women and maids over the years, all of whom are powerful and she wants to control them but is powerless.

Now, the eyesore is finally going to be cleared away, and good days for the couple are coming!

It didn't take half a month at all. In just three days, a booklet was delivered to Xuanyuan Yan's desk.

Behind each person's name, there is a detailed record of their background, when and where they committed the crime, what inappropriate words they said, or whether they are just holding a position but doing nothing.

Xuanyuan Yan was very surprised when he saw this.

Seeing the young master's expression, Mother Wu said with a smug look on her face:

"Your Highness, you may not know that I am an old servant who cannot sit still. I love to wander around the mansion when I have nothing to do. When I encounter something unfair, I can't help but want to intervene.

But... I know that I am of low status and have no right to interfere. So I thought of writing it down, just in case it comes in handy in the future, hehe..."

I didn't expect that she would be kept waiting!

Xuanyuan Yan's decisiveness in doing things this time shocked the whole palace. Even the eunuchs and maids sent by the imperial concubine to take charge of the matter were sent back to the manor.

As for what the mother and son were arguing about, the servants had no idea. After all, there was always someone taller to hold up the sky, so there was not much panic, but it was true that everyone worked harder than usual.

All the spies that Concubine Jing had planted in the Third Prince's mansion were uprooted, which resulted in her not being able to know the news in the first place.

However, such a large group of people marched through the streets to the countryside, and Xuanyuan Yan did not deliberately conceal it. This matter soon spread among the major families.

Nan Rongshu immediately sent a sign to the palace when she heard the rumor. With eagerness and a hint of gloating, she tactfully told her elder sister about the matter.

Nan Rongjing had been proud and conceited for half her life, and even the queen had to give her some respect. Unexpectedly, she ended up losing face on her own son.

In a fit of rage, she smashed the teacup in her hand on the spot. With nowhere to vent her anger, she smashed the living room upside down in front of Nan Rongshu.

Nan Rongshu shuddered at the sight of her elder sister with red eyes, disheveled hairpins and rings, and a ferocious face. Although her elder sister was arrogant and could not stand being bullied, she had never lost her composure like this before.

She stood in a corner of the room, seemingly frightened and panic-stricken, but inwardly she felt extremely happy. This secret pleasure that could not be shared with outsiders made her eyes reveal a hint of excitement and anticipation.
