It has to be said that this sentence is already ambiguous.

She was implying that these girls were sent to Zhan Yannuan's bed. Regardless of whether he did anything or not, outsiders automatically regarded these people as his.

Sure enough, those beautiful maids knelt on the ground and begged with tears in their eyes: "My Lord, please keep me. If you drive me away, I will die!"

Madam Zhan frowned and said, "It's useless for you to beg the Marquis. Now that the Madam is in the courtyard, whether you can stay depends on what the Madam wants!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but sneer. This old wall lamp was really good at attracting hatred. If she didn't let these maids stay, she would be branded as an intolerant person. Who would be willing to stay by her side and serve her sincerely in the future?

She quickly stepped forward, helped them up one by one, and said, "It's not that I don't want to keep you, but you heard it too. It was the Marquis's decision. What's more important is that each of you is beautiful and delicate, and there's unrest in this courtyard. This time it was the prince who deliberately pretended to be a thief. If a real thief enters the courtyard next time, won't your reputations be damaged?"

With just one sentence, the maids looked at each other in confusion, unable to say anything in rebuttal.

Until a maid with almond eyes got the hint from Madam Zhan and quickly said in a delicate voice: "After all, Madam, you think I'm useless, but you should also know that I have been in the Marquis's room since I was a child. Now that I'm sent away, my only hope is to have my hair cut off and become a nun!"

Lin Yiwan stared at her and asked, "What's your name?"

The maid with almond eyes subconsciously glanced at Zhan Yan, her sparkling eyes were truly infatuated.

She lowered her head shyly and replied, "My name is Lu Yan, and I grind it for the Marquis in his study!"

Lin Yiwan nodded in understanding. "You're right. How about this? If you want to stay, that's fine. Just testify and tell us how the key to my warehouse ended up in Zhan Yu's hands."

This seemingly insignificant sentence was like a huge rock hitting the four people, catching them off guard.

Madam Zhan shouted angrily, "Lin Yiwan, what do you mean by this? Why did you let them testify? Aren't you just trying to sow discord?"

Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Didn't they say they were loyal to the Marquis? If they want to stay, they must show their loyalty. As long as they can kick out this black sheep, the Marquis won't kick them all out!"

Zhan Yan nodded without hesitation: "That's right, either everyone leave, or prove who stole the warehouse key!"

Lu Yan was stunned, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the remaining three maids looked at each other and pointed at Lu Yan: "It's her! She stole the key to the storeroom and ran out to make a new one!"

Lu Yan's pretty face suddenly turned pale. She knelt and crawled in front of Zhan Yan and begged, "My Lord, I have no choice. Please, for the sake of my service to you, forgive me this time!"

She was originally pretty and charming, and after crying so sadly, she looked even more tearful.

She even leaned forward deliberately, revealing her collar which had accidentally come loose, and the large area of ​​pink and white made people dizzy.

I have to say, this woman is very bold.

Even Lin Yiwan blushed and her heart beat fast!

She was very curious, would Zhan Yan remain indifferent?

If he really has no reaction at all, then his illness is quite serious.

Just as she was lost in thought, Zhan Yan spoke sharply, "Lu Yan has committed a serious crime of betraying her master. Send her to the government on charges of stealing her master's property!"

Lu Yan was terrified. With her status, if she went to prison, she would be exiled to a bitter and cold place.

She had always been raised with great care by Old Madam Zhan, so how could she endure such grievance?

She cried and said, "My Lord, you can't be so cruel. If I go to prison, my body will be in danger. I left your room!"

Zhan Yan sneered, "So what? Everyone in the capital knows that I, Zhan Yan, suffer from a hidden illness. You are just an ordinary maid by my side. You have committed a serious crime, so you will not be forgiven easily!"

Lu Yan looked at Madam Zhan with pleading eyes. Although she was reluctant, she didn't dare to show up again.

After all, she feels guilty!

Although Lu Yan did not specify who ordered it, Zhan Yan must have guessed it with his intelligence.

Seeing his hopes dashed, Lu Yan's face suddenly flashed with determination.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "Since the Marquis treats me without any reason, I will be your maid in life and I will die in your yard!"

Without hesitation, she slammed hard into the wall.

"Bang!" It was not the sound of her head hitting the wall, but the sound of her being suddenly kicked in the abdomen.

Zi'er stared down at her condescendingly: "Dirty!"

Green Smoke cursed: "You deserve to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Zhan Yan ordered Zi'er: "Go to the government office and tell the prefect to sentence her to exile!"

"Yes!" Zi'er walked away quickly carrying the unconscious Lu Yan.

The remaining three maids knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

Zhan Yan looked down at them and said, "You three were carefully raised by your mother. You should serve the great prince and take good care of his daily life. After all, his injuries will take a long time to heal!"

The three of them didn't dare to refuse and quickly responded with a nod of yes.

After everyone had been dealt with, Zhan Yan looked at Madam Zhan and said, "Such a serious oversight occurred in the harem. It's mother's fault. If mother is truly mentally ill, why not hand over the housekeeper's power?"

Madam Zhan's breath suddenly stopped. After a moment, she finally reacted and angrily asked, "Yan'er, what do you mean? Are you blaming your mother?"

Zhan Yan frowned and asked, "Isn't it your fault? Zhan Yu, as the heir of a marquisate, could actually do such a shameful thing as stealing his mother's dowry. And the key was given to him by the maid you personally trained!"

Madam Zhan denied it with a pale face: "I didn't expect them to be so bold. Even so, you can't take away my housekeeper rights. Wasn't everything fine in the mansion before?"

What she meant was that Lin Yiwan was a troublemaker.

Lin Yiwan would not pretend not to hear it. As long as she was unhappy, she would make the other person feel uncomfortable as well.

She spoke without hesitation: "Husband, listen carefully. Judging from what the old lady said, she blames me for causing unrest in the harem after I came into the mansion. Do I deserve to have my dowry coveted?"

Zhan Yan looked at Madam Zhan in disappointment: "Even now, you still don't know your mistake?"

Old Madam Zhan had cold sweat on her forehead. How dare the dead Zhan Yan force her to apologize to the bitch?

Why?

Does she fit too?
