[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

After seeing off the mother and son from the first room, Rong Enqing left for the fourth room. After a night, he still didn't know what happened to Yunying.

When Rong Enqing arrived, Yun Hai and Xiao Rong were feeding Yun Ying medicine.

Yunhai tasted the black medicine, smacked his lips, and said pretentiously, "Hmm, not bitter at all. Come on, Baoer, drink the medicine quickly."

Yunying rolled her eyes, "Daddy loves to lie. I want mom to taste it for me. I will believe her only if she says it's not bitter."

Xiao Rong, who was applying ointment on Yunying's cheek, glared at Yunying and said, "Drink the medicine obediently, or I will pinch your nose and pour it down your throat when I have my hands free."

The tone seemed tough, but it was clearly doting.

Yunying made a face for Yunhai and said in a quirky way: "Daddy, look, mother is so fierce!"

Yunhai also made a face and whispered, "Of course not! If your mother wasn't so fierce, could she have kept us two under control?"

As they spoke, the father and daughter made eyes at each other again.

Xiao Rong rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, drink the medicine quickly, it will get cold soon."

Yunying then shrank her neck and drank the medicine mouthful by mouthful, baring her teeth and sticking out her tongue as she drank.

Rong Enqing stood outside the door and looked in, feeling a little relieved.

He went into the house and checked on the child. He saw that the child was in good spirits after a good sleep, the scratch on his cheek was not serious, and the wound on his forehead was no longer bleeding. Then he gave the two of them a few words of advice and returned to Qinghui Hall.

She also had to pack up and prepare to move to the yard.

The previous statement of vacating the main courtyard to Yun Ye was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. When the fat old man mentioned it yesterday, Rong Enqing had already thought about it.

As the main courtyard, Qinghui Hall was too big and empty for her. There were no plants or trees inside, and the layout of the houses was all neat and tidy, so it was inconvenient to do anything with the courtyard. Most importantly, the main courtyard was not close to the back garden.

So, she would rather live next to the garden. Not only is the yard quiet, but it is also convenient for taking a walk in the garden in the morning and evening. What's even better is that there is a large bamboo forest behind the yard. Wouldn't it be wonderful to pick a few bamboo shoots to eat in the spring?

Ah, spring isn’t over yet, it’s the time to eat bamboo shoots.

Thinking of this, the desire to move became more urgent.

"Meixiang, tell everyone to pack up, we are going to move to the new yard!" Rong Enqing's tone was a little more cheerful, "It's just right, I asked you to find someone to carve the plaque before and hang it in the new residence. From now on, our yard will be called 'Bai Shou Tang'."

Several people from Qinghuitang also started to count the things to be moved, and they were busy in a hurry.

Rong Enqing also followed suit and was busy inside and outside, and the whole day passed in the blink of an eye.

At night, Yun Ye and Zhang came to pay their respects and ran into Butler Li who had returned from the farm to report to Rong Enqing.

"Madam, young marquis." Butler Li bowed to the mother and son, and waited until they entered the house before turning around and leaving.

After entering the house and greeting each other, Yun Ye asked curiously, "Grandma, why did Butler Li come here at this time?"

Rong Enqing smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that the mansion has cleared out a lot of servants, so there is a shortage of manpower. So I asked him to take advantage of sending people to the farm today to ask if there are any girls and boys aged 8-12 who are willing to come to the mansion to serve.

"You need to have a few servants around you. Those who grew up with you are more loyal than those who join you later. If you train them well, they will be more satisfactory to you in the future."

"That's what grandma is thinking about." Yun Ye nodded in agreement, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Rong Enqing added, "Not only are you short of people, but I and your mother also need a few more people. And your aunt also needs some more people. The mansion has really neglected her over the years."

"Grandma is right." Yun Ye agreed again, but his brows were furrowed.

Rong Enqing was so happy talking that he didn't notice the change in Yun Ye's expression for a moment, but Zhang, who was always paying attention to her son, noticed it.

She shook her head gently at Yun Ye, and Yun Ye relaxed his frown a little.

At this time, Rong Enqing said, "Butler Li has agreed with the manager of the farm to send someone over in five days. He said that the age and conditions have been clearly stated, so we just have to wait for the selection."

As he spoke, Rong Enqing could not help but sigh: "Speaking of which, Steward Li is indeed someone the Marquis is used to. He is trustworthy when it comes to doing things!"

After these words came out, Yun Ye could no longer hold back, frowned deeply, and regardless of Zhang's crazy hints, he said seriously: "Grandma, your grandson has something to say."

Rong Enqing was startled, turned around and saw the young boy's serious expression, and nodded quickly, "You go."

Zhang couldn't help but scold: "Yun Ye!"

Yun Ye stood up and bowed to Zhang, then turned to Rong Enqing again and said sternly, "Grandma, I think you trust and rely too much on Butler Li."

Rong Enqing opened his mouth in astonishment. Steward Li was from Yunzhen and the most loyal person to Yun Ye. In the original body's memory, Yun Ye was able to compete with Yun Hao later because of Steward Li!

However, Yun Ye, who should trust and rely on Butler Li the most, is now questioning Butler Li?

"Please forgive my rudeness. I feel that my grandmother's behavior is inappropriate." Yun Ye's expression was stern, "Yesterday, the Marquis' Mansion was divided, and my grandmother rashly handed over the full control of the mansion to Steward Li, which was inappropriate.

"Grandma, have you ever thought about what you would do if Butler Li had second thoughts?

"Besides, treating servants is the privilege of the master. Steward Li is just a steward. Although he is different from ordinary servants, he is still a servant. How dare grandma let him treat the servants in the house at will? This is the second inappropriate thing.

"Grandmother, have you ever thought that Steward Li might develop inappropriate ambitions because of this privilege?

"Grandma, have you ever thought about whether Butler Li would take this opportunity to exclude dissidents?"

Rong Enqing was stunned. To be honest, she had never thought about these issues. She just subconsciously felt that Butler Li supported Yun Ye, so as long as she and Yun Ye stood on the same front, Butler Li could be trusted.

The reason why she asked Butler Li to deal with the servants was that she wanted Butler Li to eliminate those people she didn't know about who would pose a threat to Yun Ye in the future.

She thought that by doing this, the remaining people would all be like Butler Li, loyal to the Marquis' Mansion and Yun Ye.

But, from what Yun Ye said, it seems that doing so is not appropriate?

Before Rong Enqing could figure out what was going on, Yun Ye continued, "Third, Grandmother shouldn't have let Steward Li take charge of the entry of new members into the Marquis' Mansion."

Rong Enqing was stunned. "What does this mean?"

"Grandmother, do you think that since everyone came from the manor, Steward Li just informed them. In the end, it is still us who decide who can stay. Is there any problem during this period?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. Grandmother, have you ever thought that perhaps the people who stayed in the end were just those that Steward Li wanted us to stay? Perhaps from the very beginning, the people selected from the manor were all arranged by Steward Li?"

"This, this..." Rong Enqing was speechless for a moment. Why is this kid so suspicious? In the end, he just doesn't trust Butler Li.

Seeing Rong Enqing's grim expression, Yun Ye finally softened his tone, "Grandma, I don't necessarily have to doubt Butler Li, but I have to be on guard against others. Even if Butler Li is someone left behind by grandpa, grandma shouldn't trust him completely."
