The peerless and dark princess

The servants of Tingxue Courtyard gathered outside the main hall, bewildered, looking around, unsure what was going on. Everyone sensed a change in the eldest daughter's personality since she recovered. Jasmine had been sent away, and now they didn't know what to do, so they were all a bit nervous. However, with the exception of the two young maids, who had been assigned to Tingxue Courtyard by Muruohan and Shen, they seemed to think it was all just a lot of noise, so they stood aside leisurely.

Shiqi and Yihua frowned as they looked at the two men, but didn't say anything. However, they both knew in their hearts what kind of people these people were, especially Shiqi.

Wange also called Nanny Chen, who was sorting Mu Haolin's things, over.

"Hey, do you know why I called you?"

"Replying to the young lady, this slave/slave does not know!!"

The servant below answered, but the servant standing in front felt a little cold for some reason.

"You all know what happened to Jasmine, right? I won't elaborate. From now on, anyone in my courtyard who betrays me will suffer the same fate as Jasmine, or perhaps even worse." Wange said lazily as she stood on the steps, fiddling with her nails. "If anyone betrays their own people, you know what will happen!! Also, Yihua and Shiqi will be the head maids of Tingxue Court from now on. This is the head nanny—Nanny Chen. Also, the young master will also live in Tingxue Court from now on. Nanny Chen and I will find a human trafficker to serve him later, so you won't have to wait on him... Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Then go down and do your work."

The two maids, Cai Ye and Cai Hong, who had been indifferent just now, were actually thinking in their hearts. They originally thought that Wange would promote them. When Jasmine was there, they were the most popular among them besides Jasmine. But they didn't expect that Wange promoted Yihua and Shiqi, who took care of flowers and plants, to be first-class maids. They immediately felt uncomfortable and planned to find time to talk to Muruhan and Shen Xinyue about it.

"Madam Chen, I hope you can take care of my two maids for a while. They are not very reliable in their work..."

Wange was looking at the scenery outside the window, while Nanny Chen beside her was sorting out the new clothes that the housekeeper had given to Mu Haolin.

"Since you are pleased with them, Miss, Madam Chen is of course happy to take care of these two little girls for a while."

Nanny Chen finally understood that the eldest daughter had come to her senses. Otherwise, once the old lady left, there would be no one in the mansion to protect the two siblings. Fortunately, the eldest daughter had come to her senses.

"Thank you, Madam Chen. By the way, please make sure to keep a close eye on Lin'er's people. Lin'er's body can't handle those disgusting things anymore."

"Don't worry, Miss. If Nanny Chen doesn't ask the housekeeper to find a trafficker, I'll go out and look for one myself. I'll definitely find someone clean to serve the young master."

"Well, that's good. Please find a reason to replace the kitchen staff in our courtyard. I'm worried about that person. Now Lin'er is in my courtyard, eating and living there, and I don't want Lin'er to be in any danger..."

"Okay. Miss, you don't have enough people to serve you. When I pick people for the young master tomorrow, I'll pick a few for you as well."

"Okay, preferably someone with some medical or martial arts skills, but that might be a bit harsh."

"Miss, I'll pay attention to what you said, but usually people like this are in the hands of human traffickers..."

Nanny Chen paused and stopped talking.

"Well, as long as the person is innocent, that's all that matters. As for the rest, at worst, I can wait until Lin'er gets better and then ask my grandfather for a few more."

Nanny Chen paused as she straightened her clothes. Ever since Madam's passing, the eldest daughter had become estranged from the Prince of Yan's Mansion. In the past three years, she hadn't even visited the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Would they still care for her? Nanny Chen was a little worried. However, once the eldest daughter regained consciousness, the Prince of Yan's Mansion would surely help her because of Madam's past. That way, even if the young master couldn't inherit the Shangshu Mansion, he still had the Prince of Yan's Mansion as a backup. It had to be said that Nanny Chen, sent by the old lady, was a good person. She had the right mindset as soon as she arrived at Tingxueyuan, putting herself in the right position and considering Mu Haolin in every way.

Wange was very happy to see that Nanny Chen was so considerate. At least it was more appropriate to have a considerate old nanny to take care of Mu Haolin. In her previous life, Wange was an unmarried girl and didn't know how to take care of children. Now, she was only a teenager, and the maid beside her was also in her teens, just a little older than her. How could she know how to take care of children?

Nanny Chen's arrival filled this void and also allowed Shiqi and Yihua to learn how to handle things. As the only legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, Mu Wange's status naturally couldn't be the same as the other daughters. Even if her original life was terrible, the status of a legitimate daughter still held... Therefore, Shen Xinyue's scheme, scheming to secure a legitimate wife, would ensure that Mu Yucheng and Mu Ruohan would have legitimate sons and daughters...

Zuo Jiu, hiding in the shadows, listened to Mu Wange's words, not quite understanding why his master had asked him to secretly "monitor" the incompetent daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. Jiang Ci had originally told Zuo Jiu to secretly protect Mu Wange, but Zuo Jiu had misunderstood.

Zuo Ci didn't understand why he had so easily believed her, but he didn't regret it either. He simply considered it a reward for Wange saving him that moment, so he arranged for Zuo Jiu to secretly protect her. He hadn't expected Zuo Jiu to misinterpret his intentions. As for telling Wange his name that day, it was because Wange had seen his face, and he was bound to be recognized at some banquets in the palace in the future...

Mu Wange, in the Shangshu Mansion, hadn't anticipated Zuo Ci's numerous concerns. Even if she had, she would have said, "You're overthinking it. It was just a coincidence!" However, Mu Wange was completely overwhelmed by all this, as she had no one else around except Shiqi and Yihua. Fortunately, Nanny Chen had gone to the human traffickers that day and brought back several people. After Nanny Chen and Wange selected the men, they handed them over to Nanny Chen, Yihua, and Shiqi to lead their work. However, the servants, attendants, and maids who served Mu Haolin had been carefully selected.

When these things reached the old lady, she finally felt relieved.

Meanwhile, the scene at Xinyue Courtyard and Fengxi Garden was completely different. Mu Ruohan, the 'most talented woman' praised by everyone, was slamming things to the ground with a gloomy expression. "That idiot has actually become quite smart. But so what? He's still under my feet..."

The maid beside her trembled in fear. "Yes, yes, Miss, how can that girl from Tingxueyuan compare to you? You are the most talented woman, and she is just a 'grassbag' lady from Kyoto. How can she compare to you? After some time, you will be a legitimate lady..."

Mu Ruohan calmed down after listening to the maid's words. Yes, after a while, she could tell Dad to make Mom his legal wife. Then why would she be afraid of that old man and Mu Wange? The daughter of the Shangshu Mansion would be hers sooner or later. Why bother with the present moment? Even if Mu Wange woke up, it would be too late. Thinking of this, Mu Ruohan wiped her hands with the handkerchief she was holding and threw it to the ground. "You guys clean up, I'm going to Xinyue Courtyard to see Mom!"

Mu Ruohan left with Moxiang, and the maids left in the room couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone praised the Shangshu Mansion's Second Young Lady as "the most talented woman," but who could have imagined she was so vicious at such a young age? But as her maids, they had no choice but to do as she said or else she would beat or scold them... Those maids secretly complained about Mu Ruohan, but outwardly they had to flatter her, lest they end up like "that one" before. Who could have imagined she could beat a maid to death at just ten years old...
