At this moment, Rong Enqing grabbed Zhang's arm and said, "Stop! Calm down!"

Zhang was frightened by Rong Enqing's tough tone. She just stood there in a daze and didn't move.

Rong Enqing glanced at Zhang, turned around and walked to the door, knocked twice, and said calmly to the room: "Yun Ye, grandma will give you time to think about it slowly. As long as you don't think clearly, grandma will not let anyone disturb you.

"But you have to promise me two things. First, you have to eat on time. I'll have someone deliver it to you on time. Second, no matter what decision you make, you have to tell me in person.

"If you agree with Grandmother's proposal, just say yes. Grandmother will take everyone away right away."

There was silence inside and outside the house.

I don't know how long it took, but Yun Ye's low and hoarse voice finally came from the room: "Okay."

Everyone outside the house breathed a sigh of relief.

Rong Enqing turned around and told everyone, "Ask someone to bring Yun Ye's breakfast over. Everyone else, go back and do what you need to do."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang and said, "You should go back too. Yun Ye is fine, just wait until he figures it out."

Zhang looked worried and hesitated to speak several times, but Rong Enqing ignored her. Finally, she could only reply to Ting Zhuyuan with a worried look on her face.

After seeing off Zhang and dismissing the servants, Rong Enqing stood outside the door alone and whispered, "Grandma is always here. I will also let Butler Li stay in the mansion all the time. If you have anything to ask, you can ask someone to call us. Grandma will go back first."

After saying this, Rong Enqing did not stay any longer and turned back to Baishou Hall.

She was able to survive the huge shock, so she didn't believe Yun Ye couldn't. In her opinion, Yun Ye's psychological endurance was much stronger than hers.

However, this time, Rong Enqing miscalculated.

It was not until three days later that she saw Yun Ye, who had lost weight and looked haggard.

"I made grandma worry." Yun Ye's face was full of guilt when he saw Rong Enqing.

"I'm glad you're okay." Rong Enqing called the man over and looked him over carefully. Seeing that his face looked grim but his eyes were firm, he felt relieved. "Looking at you, have you figured it out?"

"Yes." Yun Ye nodded, "I came here just to discuss future plans with grandma."

Yun Ye didn't say what happened to him in the past few days, and Rong Enqing didn't ask.

"Do you have any idea?"

Yun Ye said: "First, follow the steps and respond accordingly. Second, remove the firewood from under the cauldron and live in the face of death."

Rong Enqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"

Yun Ye's eyes were sharp. "First, the life in the Marquis' Mansion can go on as usual, and even be more casual. Grandmother doesn't have to wrong herself. As for the chaos in the Marquis' Mansion...

"According to Steward Li, aren't there a lot of complicated forces in our Marquis' Mansion? Steward Li's, Old Steward Li's, mine, and the spies of various families. From now on, no matter whose forces they are, as long as they hold the bowl of the Marquis' Mansion, they are the people of the Marquis' Mansion.

"I will find someone to formulate a set of effective rules. Anyone who violates them will be killed. I believe that within half a year, no matter whose power it is, it will become mine.

"At least, on the surface, the Marquis' Mansion only needs one voice. That's my voice!"

"So confident?" Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye in surprise. He felt that something had changed about him. Even his words revealed a domineering tone that he had never had before.

"I've thought a lot in the past three days. Pulling out the trouble in the mansion and resolving the chaos is the first thing I want to do." Yun Ye looked serious, his tone filled with unprecedented determination.

"It's OK as long as you know it." Rong Enqing nodded in agreement, and then reminded: "What about He Zizhong? According to what Butler Li said, he is Butler Li's man. We asked him to investigate the old marquis before, and I'm afraid we have already alerted the enemy."

When mentioning this, Yun Ye's eyes, which had become rounder due to weight loss, suddenly showed a hint of murderous intent. However, Yun Ye quickly covered it up.

He said calmly, "I want Meixiang to marry He Zizhong and help me keep an eye on He Zizhong's every move."

Rong Enqing suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at Yun Ye in disbelief: "What did you say? Isn't He Zizhong a member of Old Li's housekeeper? He pretended to surrender to you before, and then tried to get information about me through Meixiang. This person obviously has ulterior motives, why don't you just deal with him, but instead marry Meixiang to him? Isn't this going to harm Meixiang for life?"

Yun Ye raised his head and looked at Rong Enqing steadily. After a while, he said, "Grandmother, you are too soft-hearted. Since He Zizhong is already a famous brand, it will not be good for us to get rid of him.

"But if we keep him, there are many uses for him! For example, we can use Meixiang to tell him some false information. Or, through Meixiang, we can make him completely ours.

"Grandmother, tell me, if Sister Meixiang gives He Zizhong a son, will He Zizhong betray Butler Li for Sister Meixiang and the child, and eventually become our spy on Butler Li's side?"

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye in astonishment. Sure enough, her feeling was right. Yun Ye had changed!

What kind of inner torment did he go through in just a few days?

Or is it that, in places unknown to her, Yun Ye actually experienced more things that she didn't know about?

Seeing Rong Enqing was still silent, Yun Ye didn't say any more nonsense. He turned around and walked to the door, opened it, and shouted outside: "Is Sister Meixiang here? Please come to grandma for a moment."

Rong Enqing looked at Yun Ye in astonishment. He just opened the door and called Mei Xiang? He didn't ask for her consent, nor did he tell the servants to call anyone. He just stood at the door and shouted loudly?

Soon, Meixiang ran over from her room after hearing the voice. "Young Marquis, you called me?"

"Come in and talk." Yun Ye walked in and ordered, "Close the door."

"Yes." Meixiang closed the door and followed Yunye into the hall.

The two walked up to Rong Enqing. Before Meixiang could salute Rong Enqing, Yun Ye turned around and looked at Meixiang. He asked straight to the point, "Sister Meixiang, if I asked you to marry He Zizhong and be my grandmother's spy to help us keep an eye on him, would you be willing?"

Meixiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "I do."

Yun Ye turned around and looked at Rong Enqing, smiling, "Grandma, look, it was Sister Meixiang who agreed to this herself! I didn't force her!"

That smile made Rong Enqing feel like a knife was cutting her heart. But she still looked gloomy, with a hint of anger between her brows, and she shouted sternly: "Yun Ye!"

At this moment, Meixiang knelt on both knees, kowtowed to Rong Enqing and Yun Ye, and said seriously: "Madam, I am willing to marry He Zizhong. I want to do my best for you and the young marquis. Please grant me your blessing."

Looking at Meixiang who had made up her mind, Rong Enqing felt helpless.

Before she could say anything, Yun Ye had already reached out his hand to help Mei Xiang up, and said with sincere gratitude: "Sister Mei Xiang, thank you. Your loyalty to Grandmother is remembered by Grandmother and I. I will let Butler Li take care of your marriage with He Zizhong, and I will make sure it is a grand occasion for you. I will also prepare a generous dowry for Sister Mei Xiang."

"Thank you, young marquis."

"Sister Meixiang, please go out first." Yun Ye said to Meixiang with a smile, "Please help close the door by the way."

"Okay, young lord."

Meixiang left with a smile on her face, leaving Rong Enqing looking as pale as death.
