Qingxing recounted what happened in the morning with tears in her eyes.

Hua Xiyu was a little angry. It turned out that it was all his fault. He forgot that the rules in ancient times were very strict. But even if she did not come back all night, they would not beat her to death. Moreover, those three women were afraid that others would not know that she did not come back all night. They were determined to destroy her. They would not tolerate her since the first time she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Hua Xiyu finished washing up and Zi Teng had already brought back lunch. She would go to the palace after lunch. There were still two patients in the RV and she couldn't leave them alone.

Just as she was about to leave, Qingxing and Lancao hurried to hug her, fearing that she would cause trouble again. The worst thing was that all the trouble she caused would be borne by them, the servants, so the two maids held her legs desperately to prevent her from going out.

At this time, Hua Hongsheng ran over, shouting, "Sister, sister, the maid in your yard is dead, and her brother and sister-in-law are here to make trouble."

Six-year-old Hua Hongsheng was 100% curious about this sister who suddenly appeared, and he did not have the wariness and unfamiliarity that other people in the family had.

"Stop talking nonsense and come here quickly." Hua Hongyao followed closely behind his brother, grabbed his brother who was rushing forward, and tried to pull him back to the front yard.

"Wait." Hua Xiyu's tone startled everyone, especially Hua Hongyao. He also wanted to feel sorry for his sister and wanted to be close to her, but Hua Xiyu's attitude of keeping people at a distance made him retreat.

Hua Hongming followed behind his brother and didn't know how to tell his sister. He didn't believe that she had not returned all night, but so many people had seen it, so he couldn't lie.

Prime Minister Hua wanted to suppress the matter, but he couldn't, so he had to punish everyone in Liushuang Courtyard. It was only natural that the master made a mistake and the servants should be punished.

"I'll go with you," she said calmly, without any emotion in her tone, but it made people feel terrified.

Qingxing and Lancao let go of each other's hands and followed Hua Xiyu closely, and the group arrived at the front yard.

Hongmei's brother and sister-in-law were counting silver at this time. Hongmei was sold to the Hua family. Her life and death were decided by the Hua family. Her family no longer had any right to ask about it. The Hua family notified their family members to come and claim the body. That was the Hua family's kindness. Since she was dead, they should bury her properly.

Her sister-in-law's shrill cry was nothing more than asking for a few more taels of silver.

Hongmei was wrapped in a straw mat, thrown on the ox cart at the door and dragged away.

Hua Xiyu was used to seeing life and death, and had killed countless people, but those she killed were all unforgivable people who deserved to be killed. For people like Hongmei, just give them some punishment. Her brother and sister-in-law were held captive by others, and now they are dead, and her sister-in-law only sees those few taels of silver.

She felt sad. She was just doing what she was supposed to do, saving Chunliu's life and dealing with those who wanted to kill her son. How could she have ended up losing an innocent life?

"You, you, why? Why?" She looked at Prime Minister Hua and Madam Hua and roared like an angry lioness.

"A slave is dead, so what? Why bother asking so many questions?" Hua Yuwei said nonchalantly. For him, as the prime minister, disposing of a household slave was a very small matter.

Hua Xiyu forced herself to remember that this was the ancient times, the ancient times, the ancient times when power was greater than heaven, and then she forced herself to calm down. Things had already happened and she was powerless to change them. In order to avoid similar things from happening in the future, she had to have her own rules.

"Sister, don't be so willful," Hua Hongyan came up to smooth things over. He didn't want his sister and father to have too much trouble. If word got out that she didn't return home last night, it would be difficult to explain to the Prince Hong's Mansion and it would also damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She glared at Hua Hongyan angrily, "Who asked you to be a good guy?" This was her elder brother by blood, but he wanted everything to be perfect. He wanted everyone to get what they wanted and to live in harmony and happiness. He was a standard good man in ancient times, who married a wife, took concubines, had children, and lived in accordance with the rules. He dreamed that his wife and concubines would live in harmony and his children would be obedient. However, he was completely unaware of the life-and-death fighting between his wife and two concubines in the inner house.

"Sister" Hua Hongming said nothing, just called her sister and prepared to take her away.

Prime Minister Hua was anxious. How could his clever daughter be so stupid at this moment? She was just destined to be a lowly slave and was just pretending to be something for outsiders. Why didn't she understand?

There were so many people in the hall at this time, and he couldn't say it clearly.

Hua Xiyu shook off Hua Hongming's hand, pointed at the people in the room and said with gritted teeth, "Good, very good, very good."

She stared at Hua Yuwei with fire in her eyes: "Listen to me, everyone. From now on, no one of you can touch the people in my courtyard without my consent. Don't even think about hitting them. Don't even think about giving them a bad look.

Since I am their master and their lives are tied to mine, their life and death are up to me. If anyone dares to act without my consent, don't blame me for being ruthless. In the end, don't blame me for making your entire Huafu be buried with them." Her vicious eyes made Liang Yuejiao feel cold all over, and scared Hua Jiayi and Hua Ziqi so much that they shrank back and hid behind their mothers.

"Madam, please send me the indentures of all the people in Liushuang Courtyard." She was much more polite to Liang, not because she approved of her, but because she had nothing to do with her.

Hua Xiyu turned his head and walked back, but just as he raised his leg, he stopped and turned around and said, "The man has already been beaten this time, so I won't pursue it. I will pay their monthly allowances myself from now on, so the Prime Minister's Office won't have to worry about it."

She raised her face, gave Hua Yuwei a deep look, and walked away.

Qingxing and Ziteng followed closely behind.

Everyone in Washington was too shocked to recover.

Hua Yuwei stood there in shock, shouting over and over, "Rebellion, rebellion", and then looked at Hua Xiyu's departing back, unable to say anything else.

Liang pulled her husband's sleeve and said, "Forget it, don't be angry with the child."

In Prince Hong's mansion, Liu Jingcheng also took a nap. After waking up, he first looked at his son and Chunliu, and then went straight to the Prime Minister's residence. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Hua Xiyu coming out of the hall. At the same time, he also heard Prime Minister Hua say, "Rebellion, rebellion."

"Ayu was interrogating a prisoner with me last night. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me, Prime Minister." Liu Jingcheng sat down in the main seat without any hesitation. Facing a room full of men and women, he directly held Hua Xiyu in his arms.

"Ayu is my fiancée, there's nothing wrong with her being with me!" After saying that, he took Hua Xiyu and left.

It was already morning when Liu Qihao finished his trial. At that time, Liu Qihao asked him for help, "Your Highness, my long-time attendant Han Xing is a kind-hearted man. He only hopes that his sixth son will be named the Crown Prince so that he will no longer be bullied. Now that I am in prison, I don't know how anxious he must be outside. Please help me take care of him, or bring him to me directly."

Liu Jingcheng agreed, walked out of the prison, exchanged ideas with Fu Tingyi, and after sending Hua Xiyu away, the two of them went to the inn. The little follower Han Xing was huddled in the corner crying, and the guards who followed him were taking their anger out on him. So many of their people had died, and the future prince had been caught. They were sad, and they made things difficult for Han Xing for no reason.

Fu Tingyi handed Han Xing over to the Zuowei Imperial Guards and took him back to the cell, letting them stay together as master and servant, otherwise the child would be bullied to death.

Afterwards, all the envoys from Southern Xinjiang were controlled in the entire post station. The Left Guard surrounded their residences tightly, and the post station became a disguised prison.

After finishing these things, he originally wanted to look for Hua Wei, but thinking that she should be resting, he did not disturb her. He also went back to the palace to take a nap. When he arrived, he found that the Prime Minister's Mansion was making things difficult for her.

He went to Liushuang Courtyard with Hua Xiyu. They completely ignored what the Prime Minister said behind them.

Returning to Liushuangyuan,

"Qingxing, Lancao, go and call everyone to the yard. I have something to say." She ordered two maids to gather everyone.

Soon, everyone arrived.

"First of all, I want to say sorry to everyone. I was so busy with my own things that I forgot to say hello to you all." She looked at the people standing in front of her and felt that it was really not appropriate for her to get along with them. "I'm sorry for what happened today, and I've caused you all to be punished." She bowed deeply to everyone.

Everyone didn't expect that the young lady would actually bow to them. They couldn't tell how they felt. They sold themselves into slavery and no one even cared about their lives. It was common to suffer some grievances. The young lady actually apologized and bowed to them. They were a little flattered.

Before everyone had time to sigh, Hua Xiyu stood up, changed his tone, and continued: "From now on, this Liushuang Garden is a small home, and I am the owner here, your master. Anyone, I mean anyone, who dares to assign you without my permission, you are not allowed to obey, let alone punish you. If anyone goes to work for others without my permission, don't blame me for being ruthless. Since they can beat you to death, so can I. If you don't believe me, just come and try."

The maids and servants from other courtyards who were guarding the gates reported everything that happened in Liushuang Courtyard to their masters as quickly as possible.

Hua Xiyu wanted them all to know, "Don't mess with me, I won't show you mercy." Since you are using these people's lives to tie me down, I have the responsibility to keep them all alive and well.

Soon the doctor came and treated everyone in Liushuang Garden. They were just beaten with a stick, and they were just flesh wounds. They would be fine after a few days of rest. It was not enough for her to treat them personally.

Hua Xiyu had never seen Hongmei's body, and he didn't have much affection for her. Hongmei's death was purely someone else's family matter. The temporary unhappiness passed and could not leave a shadow in her heart, and it was soon over.
