Her eyes gleamed slightly.

Mu Qingyou read for a while in the study, and also looked at some military formation diagrams, along with the original owner's skills.

They quickly became much more proficient.

"Young Miss, have some bird's nest."

Lianxin came in again. The slap on her face had faded a lot, leaving only a faint mark.

Mu Qingyou put down the book in her hand, took the small handkerchief on the tray, and wiped her hands.

Then he picked up the bird's nest again and slowly began to eat it.

Lianxin stood to one side, saying nothing.

Mu Qingyou finished the bowl of bird's nest before looking at Lianxin again.

Lianxin's heart skipped a beat when she saw Mu Qingyou's gaze.

"Lianxin, do you know you're wrong?"

Mu Qingyou gently placed the bowl on the tray, making a crisp sound.

Lianxin knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Don't do it again."

Mu Qingyou looked at her with sharp eyes.

"Yes!"

Lianxin felt a surge of panic.

"Go down!"

Upon hearing Mu Qingyou's words, Lianxin stood up again, picked up the tray, and went out.

Only after standing outside the study did Lianxin realize that her back was already numb.

She looked into the study again, but although she couldn't see anything, the corners of her lips turned up slightly.

The young lady has changed; she's become different.

Although the young lady was a seasoned veteran with a touch of bloodthirstiness, she was always very good-tempered once she returned to the manor.

Seeing how she treated the second young lady today, she knew that the eldest young lady had changed.

After Lianxin left, Mu Qingyou gently placed her fingers on the book.

"Hey--"

She couldn't help but sigh. The original owner's situation meant that those around her also had a hard time.

This time, Lianxin deliberately served Mu Qingwan aged tea, hoping to use the opportunity of Dongfang Jibai's presence to help her clear her head.

Although she meant well, doing this was disrespectful to her.

Lianxin was her head maid, but because she was often away from the mansion, although she was the head maid, she was not even as good as the maids in Mu Qingwan's courtyard.

She's not young anymore. I'll marry her off properly before I go back to the border town.

When Mu Qingyou left the study again and returned to the courtyard, it had already been tidied up by Xiushui Fanhua and the others.

All those flashy and impractical things were removed, and the whole room became more spacious and grand again.

"General, a maid just reported that the Second Miss is making a scene and wants to come out."

Xiushui walked in and said.

"Let her out!"

Mu Qingyou hadn't originally intended to lock her up; she just wanted to intimidate her and show her who was in charge in this mansion.

"Yes!"

Xiushui responded and went to the secluded courtyard.

Because of the wound on her arm, Mu Qingyou was unable to take a bath, so she had her maid bring water to wash herself and then have her hair washed before she could finally lie comfortably on the soft couch.

"General, the Second Miss wanted to come here. I told her that she was now living in the Waterside Pavilion, but she went back to live there without batting an eye."

Xiushui found it strange that she had reacted so strongly to the matter of a maid before, but now that such a big thing had happened, she was completely unmoved.

Mu Qingyou's expression flickered slightly when she heard Xiushui say that.
