Let silver speak for itself.

  However, when Yang Guofeng returned to his bedroom, what greeted him was the figure of someone fast asleep in his bed.

  Looking at him with such a flirtatious gaze, and bathing in the evening with that alluring perfume 'Reve', isn't she already hinting at him?

  But at this moment, is it being heartless and ruthless, or is he just playing with him?

  Yang Guofeng's eyes narrowed slowly, then he raised his hand to reach out, but just as he was about to touch that face, he stopped and withdrew.

  He gazed at her small face for a moment, then finally turned his head away and walked out.

  But suddenly stopped at the 'door', fell silent for a moment, and then turned back.

  Then stood quietly at the head of the bed for a moment, then pulled open the quilt on the bed.

  With his back to the little woman on the 'bed', he closed his eyes, but her gentle and long breathing sound, the fragrance of rose perfume in the air invaded his ears and nose, disturbing his mind.

  He turned over heavily and then turned over again, the black acid branch carving "flowers" and the step "bed" emitting a trembling sound.

  But the little 'girl' beside her didn't move at all, like a... small pig.

  Yang Guofeng suddenly... smiled.

  ……

  "Miss, didn't you get up early this morning? But Cui Mei said that no matter how she called you, you wouldn't wake up." The next morning, Jiu Xia'er was met with Qing Xing's complaints as soon as she got up.

  "Uh..." Ninth Sister was taken aback for a moment before hastily asking, "What about Prince Wang?"

  She was most concerned about this guy's reaction. Thinking that she had slept so soundly, she really wanted to know his reaction.

  "Cui Mei said that the king didn't say anything, just told her not to call you anymore, and then had the maid serve her and left." Qing Xiang said while helping her bring over water to wash up.

  "Oh......" After hearing this, Jiu Jie couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement.

  Actually having a big face has its advantages, if you pretend to sleep every day in the future, then won't you not have to get up?

  But then again, pretending to sleep is a skill that can't be done just by thinking about it. Forcing yourself to stay in bed but not being able to fall asleep isn't fun either.

  But I myself didn't sleep last night, after working hard on a twenty-odd page manuscript all day, and even thunder couldn't wake me up...

  As soon as she thought of this manuscript, she suddenly remembered something important, so she immediately asked Qing Xing, "Where's Qing Tao?"

  "Green Peach? Miss, last night was Emerald Plum's turn on duty, and it will be Green Peach's turn tomorrow." Green Apricot looked puzzled at her words.

  "Go get Qing Tao and bring her here, then fetch those manuscripts that were left in the ear room last night and have her take them back home..."

  Those manuscripts should be handed over to Wen Jingshui as soon as possible. Since Yang Guofeng has already found that Wang Jiujin, it's better to get things done early, otherwise, if the timing is missed, it will not only cause trouble but also harm Wen Jingshui's future prospects.

  "What manuscript? Is it in the ear room?" At this time, Cui Mei walked in with a tray and heard Jiu Si'er mention the manuscript, so she immediately asked.

  "Uh-huh!" Ninth Sister nodded.

  But Cui Mei was taken aback and said, "However, the king had already taken the manuscript away when he went to court this morning."

  "What?" Upon hearing this, Jiu's expression changed instantly.

  What's wrong with this horse, why did she take her manuscript? What should we do now?

  The two maids saw that her face was not right and were also frightened, especially Cui Mei. This was the first time this usually steady and serious maid had been on night duty at the Yang's house, and she hadn't expected to make a mistake. Her face was naturally even more flustered, and she almost cried.

  "It's alright, it's not your fault. You knew I had a big expense coming up, but he wanted to take it and you couldn't stop him anyway." The ninth sister on the other end had already calmed down and looked at Cui Mei reassuringly.

  "But...Miss, what can be done about it now?" Cuimei didn't feel any better with Jiu's consolation, instead she asked with a tear-stained face.

  The ninth sister gritted her teeth for half a day before saying word by word, "Of course, I'll write another one."

  What else can we do?

  Want to come back? Forget it!

  Because she really didn't want to get entangled with Yang Guofeng over this matter, in case things got out of hand and she fell into a trap. Firstly; secondly, this matter couldn't wait, Yang Guofeng might return late at night, and after her efforts yesterday, completing such a task would be easier for her, perhaps not even taking a whole day's work.

  Work harder for a while, and you will be on top of things.

  After finishing writing this time, she resolutely did not delay any longer and immediately found someone to send it to the Wen Mansion, lest there be many dreams in a long night.

  She thought to herself and immediately ordered the two of them to hurry up and help her clean up, then prepare to go to Taihe Hall to pay respects first. If there's nothing going on, she'll rush back to continue writing.

  She first told the little maid to inform Yang Guofeng's concubines that they didn't need to come, then hastily ate a bit of food and urged the maid to fetch her clothes, wanting to go to Taihe Hall.

  But at this time, a little girl outside came in and said, "Luo Mama is here."

  Mom Luo? At this time?

  Glancing at the gradually brightening sky outside, Jiuniang couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  At this time, Na La's mother had already entered the house under the leadership of the little maid, and when she saw Jiu Sier, she immediately smiled and gave her a curtsy.

  "Oh, no need, Mrs. Luo, you're too polite." She then quickly stepped forward to help her sit down and instructed Qing Xiang and Cui Mei, "Quickly go get tea for mom and some melon seeds."

  "Your Highness, don't bother, I couldn't sit still. I've come over now on the orders of Old Madame and to tell all you ladies that there's no need to go pay your respects today. Old Madame is continuing her fasting and Buddhist rites today." added Nalo Mama.

  It's about time!

  Jiuer heard this and felt a surge of joy in her heart, but immediately said with a diligent expression, "In that case, shouldn't I go even more now? Also to accompany Mother to eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha."

  "Hey……" But before she could finish, Luo's mother smiled and interrupted, "No need to say more, the princess is a new 'bride', with this kind intention, the old empress dowager should be satisfied. Besides, the second madam had already passed away early in the morning, and it was usually her who accompanied the empress dowager during fasting."

  "Oh..." Hearing her say this, Jiu also nodded in agreement.

  Indeed, her sister-in-law accompanied the old princess to worship Buddha, which was more suitable than anything else.

  At this time, Luo's mother stood up to bid farewell. Jiuniang first tried to persuade her to stay, then instructed Qingxing to bring out a package of melon seeds that she had brought back from the Wang residence two days ago, and asked Luo's mother to take it back to coax her grandson.

  Naruo's mother first declined repeatedly, then accepted and thanked her profusely.

  After seeing Luo Mama off, the two maids actively helped Jiu Jie prepare ink and paper, but she didn't start right away. Instead, she had Qing Xiang call over Cui Qiao and Qing Tao together.

  "It's nothing, just that from now on, you can't use the old nickname for me. From now on, all of you will address me as Wang Fei, just like everyone else in the mansion." She said this after the four of them had gathered together and she sat down to instruct them.

  Actually, on the day of their wedding, Jiang told a few people to change their address and not call her "young lady" anymore. However, they were used to it and occasionally called out, she also liked this title, so she didn't ask them specifically, so now they still call her "young lady".

  But just now, she keenly noticed that when Qing Xiang called her "young lady", Luo's mother suddenly glanced at her.

  Of course, it's been a few days since they got married, so this isn't a big deal either.

  But since Luo Mama has hinted at it, she naturally had to pay attention.

  Several people nodded in agreement after hearing this.

  "Alright, you all go ahead and get busy, I'm going to start now." Then she said to a few people.

  The other three immediately pushed out, but Cuijiao didn't leave right away, instead standing there looking at her for a moment before turning around.

  "Anything wrong?" She raised her head from the desk.

  Cui Qiao immediately turned around and stood still, looking at her and nodding, "Aunt... no, Princess, our fourth house is still short of manpower, take a look at how to arrange it?"

  After hearing this question, Jiu Jie'er immediately furrowed her brow and thought for a moment before saying, "Cui Cui, let me finish what I'm doing first, then we can talk about this, okay?"

  Cui Qiao was taken aback for a moment, nodded, and then bid farewell to her luggage.

  "Cui Qiao..." But she suddenly stopped her, "Let's take a closer look instead, know yourself and know others."

  Cui Qiao nodded immediately after hearing her words and then turned around and left.

  Until Cuiqiao's figure disappeared at the 'door', Jiujiu let out a soft sigh.

  Indeed, as the mistress of this house, there are many issues waiting for her to deal with, not just adding staff, but also organizing personnel and settling small accounts...

  But she was very negative and lazy, lacking a sense of belonging.

  Although it's not to the point of bringing up divorce now, she always feels that day is not far away...

  But things often don't go as one wishes, just when she decided to temporarily focus on her own affairs and concentrate on writing diligently, a sudden noise came from outside.

  At first, she didn't mind because such a big palace had so many people and conflicts were inevitable. It was understandable that there would be some small frictions and quarrels from time to time.

  However, such a commotion would not last long, because in such a large household, those who could make a scene openly were mostly servants.

  The masters are all intriguing and competing with each other, how can they be so lowly and vulgar.

  But I believe it will soon be suppressed by the authorities and become a milestone for them to establish their prestige.

  So she got up and poured herself a cup of tea, sipping it while waiting for the outside to calm down before continuing.

  But she had finished her cup of tea, and the noise outside not only didn't disappear, but instead grew louder, she could even clearly hear the woman's scolding and crying voice, her delicate eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

  "Your Highness, there's a commotion in the kitchen. The two mothers-in-law are at each other's throats and won't listen to reason." Just then, Cui Cui hastily pushed open the door and entered, her face looking unpleasant as she spoke to her.

  "Oh..." She nodded slightly after hearing it.

  No wonder it's so noisy, because they have four houses, especially her house and the big kitchen are adjacent.

  Normally holding a dish is convenient, but there are advantages and disadvantages. Naturally, all kinds of sounds can be heard from it, just like the noise at this moment.

  But doesn't anyone care?

  Uh...

  Although the highest power holder in the mansion, Old Lady Meng and Second Madam were on the side of Xiaoyan Hall, there was still Third Madam Xiao Yan's family.

  That day, Xiao Yan was so sincere in shirking the responsibility of managing the household, but 'privately' she let Cui Qiao and others pay attention, only to discover that Xiao Yan is actually a super loving 'interfering' person.

  She should have been very ambitious for power, and not small-minded, so why did she behave like that on that day?

  Is it just for suppressing oneself...

  "Your Highness, don't you want to take a look? If this continues, our side won't be able to rest for even a moment." Nangong Yu's words brought her back on track.

  *sigh*...

  She suddenly realized she understood.

  So that's how it is——

  That Mr. Yan probably didn't want to intervene, but he didn't because of his own reasons.

  What's the big deal if it's a bit noisier? Anyway, the three houses are far apart.

  It seems like you're intentionally giving yourself a "shot" in the eye.

  Think about it, this is not just a matter of being disturbed, but mainly as the mistress of this mansion - Weiyuan Wangfei, allowing such a commotion to happen in the mansion without intervening. How can the people of the four houses look at themselves, how can the people above the mansion look at themselves?

  Another Xia Shi?

  It seems like I have no choice but to take care of this matter myself today.

  But what kind of person and what kind of thing made Xiaoyan think that it would be difficult for herself?

  "Cuiqiao, help me change into another outfit, and then call a few more maids to come over. After that, accompany me on a walk!" Jiujie said with a slight pause after narrowing her eyes for a moment, before speaking to Cuiqiao.

  "Yes!" Hearing her say so, Cui Qiaoqiao was naturally delighted.

  Although Ninth Sister had thought of this matter early on and knew that this person was troublesome, when the time came, she was still caught off guard.

  "You rotten thing, you shameless 'whore', watch me not kill you... I'll kill you... I'll let you dare to turn black and white and steal my money..."

  A thirty-something disheveled woman with a robust build was holding a kitchen knife, ready to charge forward. Several women behind her were desperately pulling her back, or else she would have rushed over to settle the score long ago.

  "You're talking nonsense, this silver is clearly mine. I had it with me this morning to give to my son to pass on to his daughter-in-law who hasn't crossed the threshold yet. You're the one slandering me here, you're the one with a guilty conscience, and you're the one reversing black and white..."

  A relatively short and slender woman stood opposite the tall and robust woman, with a long face, a clean complexion, but paired with that pair of inverted triangle eyes, she looked extremely sharp and fierce.

  "You...!" The tall and sturdy woman was infuriated by the triangular-eyed woman's anger, "You...hmmph, I won't argue with you, no one is better at fabricating stories than you, but you actually dare to deceive me, I will never let you off, I'll fight it out with you..." While shouting, she suddenly and quickly spun around, flinging off the two women holding her, and charged towards the triangular-eyed woman with a kitchen knife.

  The onlookers were frightened by these few 'lustful' women and quickly retreated to the side. The triangular-eyed woman may not have expected this man to break free from her grasp, so she was also scared and turned around to run away.

  But the robust woman didn't give up, she chased after her and soon caught up with the triangular-eyed woman who had tripped and fallen in her haste.

  "Halt!" Just as the tragedy was about to occur, a voice rang out from behind the crowd of people who were watching with wide eyes and bated breath as the tall, sturdy woman raised her cleaver.

  The voice is not loud, but it's extremely clear and majestic, as if with a thousand pounds of momentum.

  The tall and robust woman was stunned, the crowd also froze, turning their heads to look at the source of the sound - a girl wearing a bright red peony-patterned dress with golden sleeves.

  The girl was not very old, slender in build, with a face as tender and white as a lotus root, and her eyebrows still had a hint of childishness. However, her eyes were extremely clear and bright, with black pupils, and the cold and frosty glint at the bottom of her eyes seemed to possess a magical power that could pierce through one's heart, making people feel suddenly cooled down and refreshed.

  The robust woman held the kitchen knife tightly in her hand and slightly thrust it forward, causing the onlookers to exchange astonished glances.

  "You're wielding a knife and brandishing a stick, I thought we were on the battlefield. What's going on, can't you fit in this inner courtyard? Do you want to turn things upside down? Alright then, I'll tell the prince tomorrow that there are several cooks in the northern border who aren't doing their job properly, why don't you go and show off your skills." Jiuniang's gaze swept past the crowd and landed on that tall and sturdy 'woman'.

  Apparently, her few intimidating words were quite effective —

  "Your Highness, spare my life... spare my life..." The woman's face suddenly turned pale upon hearing this, "Clang——" She dropped the kitchen knife in her hand and knelt down, "This old slave was also driven by anger... it was all because of the Yang family, my silver was lost, but she insisted it was hers, I couldn't take it anymore, that's why I did such a foolish thing..."

  "You're talking nonsense, that's clearly my silver, I took it off when I was cooking and dropped it." But before she could finish speaking, the woman with a pair of triangular eyes on the side loudly argued.

  "It's mine, princess, it really is mine. Please do me the favor." The tall and sturdy woman didn't look at the woman with triangular eyes, but instead looked at Jiu Si'er with pleading eyes.

  "No, Princess... she's lying... that silver is indeed mine, I dare to swear, if I tell a lie, let heaven strike me with five thunders..." The triangular-eyed woman immediately shouted loudly, and also knelt down in front of Ninth Sister.

  "I also dare to swear, if I tell a lie, may heaven strike me with five thunders..." Unexpectedly, the tall and sturdy 'woman' said again.

  The people present looked at one and then at another, seemingly unable to see anything, and then turned their attention back to the silent Ninth Sister.

  "Your Highness, please be aware!"

  "Your Highness, please decide for me!"

  Two people have their own ways.

  Everyone's gaze shifted from the two of them to Jiu Jie again, but it was no longer the simple astonishment as before, rather a subtle look of watching a good show.

  It's also like that, just arrived and got caught up in a situation where everyone has their own opinions. They want to see what kind of skills this new queen has, whether she is still the same as before.

  The Ninth Sister didn't look at the crowd, but stared at the two 'women' kneeling in front of her and asked, "Tell me, what are you two in charge of on the stove?"

  The two of them were taken aback for a moment, but then quickly said:

  "The old slave is steaming buns." The tall and robust woman replied.

  "The old slave is responsible for frying the fruit." The triangular-eyed woman replied.

  After hearing their conversation, Jiu Si Er was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

  Everyone was puzzled and stared at her even more intensely.

  "Where is the silver?" asked Jiu sister again.

  The crowd was stunned again, and then a woman walked over behind the two of them, handing a ingot of pure white silver to Jiu Si Er.

  No wonder, it's as heavy as two taels! Money can really move people's hearts!

  "Go fetch some water, let's let the silver speak." After gazing at the silver in her hand for a moment, Jiu Si suddenly said to Cui Qiao behind her.

  Everyone was stunned again upon hearing this, and those two 'women' were even more shocked.

  "Go quickly......" Jiujie urged that equally bewildered Cuiqiao who was staring at her...

  ……

  Digression

  Hehe, this time the stallion must be abused...
