Cui'er looked at this scene with confusion. When she saw Ye Yibai's difference from ordinary people, she was horrified and hurriedly followed her young lady.
"Miss, he..."
"Don't talk too much." Hua Yanxi said coldly.
Cui'er could only follow her silently.
There were a lot of people standing outside the hospital, and when they saw Hua Yanxi coming out, her voice did not completely stop after the meeting.
Hua Yanxi glanced at everyone, taking in all their gazes, and then said: "You must all know who I am. From now on, I am half the master of this mansion. Now I am
If you don't want to stay, you can leave. I will return your deed of betrayal to you to find your own way out. If you are willing to stay, your monthly salary will be doubled in the future."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was happy.
They are people who are used to serving others. Although the fifth prince is a fool, there are not many masters in the house and the monthly salary is still high. It will not be easier than this anywhere else, not to mention that now he can still keep the monthly salary.
Double that, and naturally no one would want to leave.
Hua Yanxi also expected that they would not leave, so she continued: "It seems that you all want to stay, but I am the first to say ugly things, but if I find anyone among you who is passive and sabotaging, I will
No mercy."
"Yes." Everyone responded.
Hua Yanxi looked at Ye Yibai: "Xiaobai, come and see if any of these people have been disrespectful to you and you don't like them. Point them out."
Ye Yibai identified a few from the crowd and pointed them out.
Hua Yanxi directly ordered people to beat them out.
These people now either want to show their face in front of the new master, or go there for the double monthly money, so they are naturally obedient.
Hua Yanxi also knew that among these people, there might be some secret stooges of the Seventh Prince, the wings of the housekeeper, or some people with impure thoughts. However, she was new here and if she was too strong, it would definitely cause a backlash.
It won't be too late to slowly deal with these people after she has established a firm foothold in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Then he rewarded those people with a few taels of silver in front of everyone and encouraged others to report. After being kind and powerful, they dispersed.
She believed that there would be a brave man under the heavy reward, and many people would reveal the information to her in private.
After settling these matters, it was already getting late, so Hua Yanxi brought Cui'er into the room.
As soon as the door closed, Cui'er couldn't help but said: "Miss, why did you just admit that you are the fifth prince's concubine in front of those people? This is obviously a scam. You are marrying the seventh prince. You shouldn't be."
That fool, let’s inform the master quickly.”
"Tui'er! For the sake of your loyalty, I forgive you this time, but in the future, I will not allow you to say that to the fifth prince again." Hua Yanxi said sternly.
Cui'er had never seen her young lady look like this before, and he hesitated and said: "But, it shouldn't be like this, young lady, what is all this going on?"
For such an outstanding person as her young lady, she should be matched with a great person like the Seventh Prince. But even if the Fifth Prince is also a prince, he is nothing compared to the Seventh Prince.
Don't you feel aggrieved in your heart?
As if she had seen through Cui'er's thoughts, Hua Yanxi said: "The matter has come to this. Even if I tell dad, it will be useless. Now there is a princess in the seventh prince's house. Could it be that you want me to come to you for help?"
To be someone’s concubine?”
"But, you're just going to let it go?"
"Forget it? How is it possible? If you eat mine, you have to spit it out. I don't need to be the seventh prince, but the dowry is not what she should think about." Hua Yanxi sneered.
"Dowry?" Cui'er looked confused, obviously not clear about the ins and outs of the matter.
Hua Yanxi spoke briefly, and Cui'er turned from frightened to angry.
"How could the second young lady do this! It was thanks to your kindness that she was able to enter the house. Otherwise, she and her aunt would have been living as outsiders for the rest of their lives. Now she is so bold that she robbed her uncle and your dowry.
, these were all prepared for you by Madam during her lifetime." Cui'er was indignant.
"What are you afraid of? I just want to come back."
"Miss, what do you plan to do? Cui'er will definitely cooperate with you."
"Do you still remember what the Holy One said when the marriage was granted?" Hua Yanxi narrowed her eyes and asked.
Cui'er thought about it carefully: "I remember that the imperial edict praised the young lady, and then said that the young lady and the Seventh Prince are a perfect match."
"The imperial edict praised the young lady who was a direct descendant of the Hua family, but did not specify which young lady it was. Hua Yun'er took advantage of this loophole." Hua Yanxi said softly.
"But, you are the only legitimate daughter in the Hua family." Cui'er said in surprise.
"Yes, so Hua Yun'er's next move must be to straighten her identity. There is only one way to do this. Let her father support Aunt Fang as the main wife, and her identity will naturally be justified."
What Hua Yanxi didn't say was that if she really died yesterday, the royal family would acquiesce in Hua Yun'er's identity as the seventh princess, whether it was to cover up the scandal or to stabilize the relationship with the Hua family.
But now that Hua Yanxi is still alive, Hua Yun'er, who is currently in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, should have received the news and will definitely make another move.
What Hua Yanxi has to do is to block Hua Yun'er's move before she succeeds.
Hua Yanxi quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Cui'er: "You can find a post station and send this letter quickly. It will arrive home tomorrow."
Cui'er nodded and left the house with the letter.
After doing all this, Hua Yanxi went to the woodshed.
In the woodshed, the housekeeper fell to the ground tied up, with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth. He heard someone coming and struggled repeatedly.
"It seems that it's much earlier than the time I expected to wake up." Hua Yanxi sneered and reached out to take off the cloth.
"I belong to the Seventh Prince. If you dare to do anything to me, the Seventh Prince will not let you go!" The butler now lost his previous calmness and glared at Hua Yanxi.
"Even if I kill you now, I'm afraid that even the Seventh Prince will be beyond his reach. Instead of being quick to talk to me, why not be obedient and tell me everything you know, and maybe I can treat you again." Hua Yanxi
He was playing with a small knife in his hand, looking bored.
"You don't dare." The butler pretended to be calm as he stared at the swaying thing.
Hua Yanxi laughed: "Butler, it's useless for you to have been a housekeeper for so many years. Don't you know that there are more secret affairs in the mansion than what is spread among the people? You don't think that I am really a person who can't even kill a chicken."
Don’t you dare, miss?”
"Don't even think about it. The Hua family has a great business. Why did my father have so many aunts, but only one concubine survived, and she was raised outside the house?"
Hua Yanxi was telling nonsense, but the housekeeper really believed it.
