Jiang Xinyu's sudden change in demeanor startled the three girls.

Xiao Die, in particular, had already subconsciously drawn her dagger and stepped back in a defensive stance.

July quickly stepped in front of Jiang Xinyu and glared angrily at Xiaodie.

Although she didn't know any martial arts, this man could only harm the lady if she died.

In September, she stood in front of the bed and shouted, "Catch the assassin!"

Jiang Xinyu raised an eyebrow as she watched Xiaodie pull out her weapon.

Her body had never been stained with blood, because the killing intent emanating from her soul had already been weakened tenfold.

But the fact that this girl noticed this and reacted so quickly suggests that she is a terrorist who often walks on the edge of danger.

Heh, that scoundrel probably sent her an assassin as a maid because he succeeded once and was afraid others would follow suit.

Fine, she appreciates the favor, but she won't let any of the scores go unresolved.

She held a large bowl of meat to his mouth and forced him to eat it, pretending to be reserved. But in the middle of the night, she was drugged and secretly ate the meat, which made her jealous and jealous.

I've been practicing with a punching bag quite well lately, so I'll put my skills to the test in a real spar.

Hearing something amiss in the room, Xiaodouzi rushed in without a second thought. Seeing Xiaodie holding a dagger, she slapped her across the face.

Damn it, all that talking to you on the way here was for nothing. Or are you saying that all you Shura Hall people can do is kill people?

Actually, when Jiu Yue screamed, Xiao Die had already realized that she had overreacted, but she was a little slow to put away the dagger and was caught by Xiao Douzi.

Knowing she had been slapped unjustly, she quickly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, hoping that the lady would punish her but not report the matter to the chief eunuch.

September's shout was incredibly effective in catching the assassin; just as Xiaodouzi kicked the door open, four more figures landed in the courtyard.

Just as Xiaodouzi finished beating Xiaodie and she knelt down, four masked figures wielding knives burst into the house.

July was incredibly grateful that she had dressed the lady before going to the doctor; otherwise, the Grand Eunuch would never have let her off this time.

Jiang Xinyu looked at the chaotic scene and smiled coldly.

"Little Bean, are the guards in my courtyard only there during the day, or are they there all day?"

Little Bean didn't understand what the lady meant, but he still answered sincerely.

“The supervisor is worried about the lady’s safety, so there are twelve guards in your courtyard, working in three shifts, and they are always on duty.”

Jiang Xinyu nodded. "Did the guards on duty last night report that a thief had broken into my courtyard?"

Little Bean was immediately startled, "Madam, how could a thief have broken in?"

"Hehe, how is that impossible? Not only did the thief break in, but he was also a womanizer, and a cowardly womanizer with the heart of a thief but no guts."

Jiang Xinyu glanced at the group with a half-smile and slowly said,

"Under the noses of four secret guards, they used the Drunken Dream Incense to knock me down and kissed me all over, but I was still a virgin."

Who do you think could be such a useless womanizer?

What the hell!

I didn't even realize it until September.

Who else could do such a thing but their supervisor?

Little Bean secretly groaned inwardly.

Oh, Master Supervisor, you've really grown up! How come you don't even bother to wipe your mouth properly when you're sneaking a bite?

Or you could just confide in your servants; they can cover for you whether it's July or September.

Now look what's happened. Judging from Madam's expression, she's clearly furious. I reckon there'll be another mess when you get back.

Little Bean was quite cunning. After realizing it was a misunderstanding, he waved his hand to tell the guards to leave quickly, and then made a quick escape under the pretext that the Eastern Depot had something to do.

Before long, only the embarrassed July and September and Xiaodie kneeling on the ground awaiting their fate remained in the room.

Jiang Xinyu didn't rush to wake her as usual. Instead, she sized up Xiaodie and said coldly,

"Tell me about this Drunken Dream Fragrance first, so that I, a young lady from a secluded family, can broaden my horizons."

The resentment in his voice was palpable, spoken through gritted teeth.

Xiaodie also noticed this, and after introducing Zui Meng Xiang, she even made a few words to defend the supervisor.

"Madam, this Drunken Dream Incense is the least harmful of all sleeping pills. It will only cause drowsiness if the dosage is incorrect or if someone takes large amounts of ginseng for a long time."

"The supervisor certainly didn't do it on purpose."

It's rare that this silly girl could guess that it was their supervisor who did this, but her explanation was worse than no explanation at all; she completely stepped on a landmine.

July and September exchanged a glance and silently lit a candle for their master.

The Grand Eunuch knew that the lady had been eating raw ginseng, but as for daring to use it recklessly without knowing the correct dosage...

This... it's not unfair to kill him.

As expected, Jiang Xinyu got even angrier after hearing this. She waved her hand to let Xiaodie get up and rushed off to the training ground.

She was absolutely furious and desperately needed an outlet for her anger. The things in the house were quite expensive, and it wasn't worth breaking them for that jerk.

Watching the lady hit the sandbag with such enthusiasm in July, he silently took two steps back and quietly wrote a note with the charcoal pencil he carried with him, instructing a maid to have the steward deliver it to the Grand Eunuch as soon as possible.

Little Bean's intelligence is outdated; given the escalating situation, it's advisable to temporarily avoid direct confrontation.

Although Xiaodie had never worked as a maid, she had often pretended to be one and had even sneaked into the backyards of the mansions of high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants.

It was the first time she had ever seen the matriarch hitting a sandbag, and she asked July what she should be doing now, bewildered.

July sighed, "Tell the kitchen to use all their specialties and make more delicious food, hopefully that will appease Madam and calm her down."

Looking at the somewhat dull-witted Xiaodie, Jiuyue pouted.

It's all because this guy can't speak properly. Why can't he ask them behind their backs before saying anything?

They actually doubted the lady's innocence; now they've ruined everything and dragged the Grand Eunuch down with them.

Although she knew that Xiaodie couldn't be entirely blamed, July couldn't help but feel a little resentful. To avoid making a similar mistake again in the future, she could only carefully teach Xiaodie the rules of the manor and the taboos of serving the lady.

Jiang Xinyu glanced at the three maids whispering among themselves, but remained calm. She simply had Chunxing brought over while she was resting after breaking a sandbag.

Actually, Jiang Xinyu didn't need to be so furious about what happened today, which wasn't a big deal but wasn't a small one either.

Xiao Yuan's actions were indeed inappropriate, but she could understand them.

Especially the sneaking in at midnight and the faint kiss marks on her body, all of which showed Xiao Yuan's intense yet cautious love.

If it weren't for the fact that the matter had blown up and her innocence hadn't been questioned, she might have pretended not to know and then waited until night to catch Xiao Yuan red-handed and give him a good beating.

The failed attempt to steal a kiss and instead being pinned down can also be a kind of fun between husband and wife.

But this was impossible in the governor's mansion.

Xiao Yuan's spies are everywhere. They know the slightest thing that happens around her, so even if she wants to surprise them, she can't.

This feeling is really uncomfortable, an awkwardness that's hard to explain.

Another thing that annoyed her was the way the maids would cautiously try to speak well of Xiao Yuan whenever he angered her.

Knowing you were his people, I never expected you to be loyal to me.

I'm not angry that you side with him, but please keep your intentions to yourself and don't do anything to me.

The minor squabbles between couples don't usually involve major issues; sometimes it's just a matter of perspective and emotions.

When she's angry, she just wants someone to stand up for her and say a few words in her defense. If they can't join her in cursing to make her feel better, then they should just shut up.

He had his reasons, he didn't do it on purpose, so what? I'm just petty and deserve it.
