Bai Yueyue calmed herself down again and then said to Hu Meier, "Meier, you must not tell Mother about this."

"Yes, Miss."

Hu Meier knew that Bai Yueyue was protecting them; otherwise, their previous actions would have meant certain death if they had been exposed.

Hu Meier opened the door, and after Bai Yueyue came out, everyone in the orphanage, as well as the guards and servants that Bai Yueyue had brought, knelt at the door waiting. Behind them were the two boys who had been rendered lifeless and lay on the ground like dead dogs.

Bai Yueyue frowned and sternly reprimanded the servants who wanted to claim credit, saying, "You must not use violence like this again."

The two men's actions were somewhat unexpected for Bai Yueyue. She had only assumed her servants would stand up for her and take action, but she hadn't anticipated their ruthlessness. Essentially, they were following Bai Yueyue's orders, so even without reward, they couldn't be punished.

Seeing the fear in the eyes of the children in the orphanage, Ye Xinya also became timid and hesitant when she looked at Bai Yueyue, her body trembling uncontrollably.

I'm truly caught in the middle now. I can neither get used to the life of a commoner as I used to, nor do I understand the life of a nobleman anymore.

"Dean Jiang, you can take them to the hospital. Just send the bill to my personal attendant later. I have to leave now." Bai Yueyue didn't want to care about those two people; she didn't have that much energy. As long as they didn't die, that was enough.

Moreover, judging from Ye Xinya and the others' current state, Bai Yueyue's inspection today cannot proceed. It would be better to simply return to the village and deal with the affairs there.

"Yes...yes, Miss Bai." Dean Jiang's voice was also somewhat fearful, clearly frightened by the servants' previous actions. Moreover, he was also injured, probably because he was attacked by the servants while protecting the two boys.

"Apologize to Dean Jiang." A commanding voice rang out, and Bai Yueyue coldly stared at the servants who had previously tried to curry favor.

Bai Yueyue's order was to instruct the two on manners, which they interpreted as a reprimand of the other two, something Bai Yueyue could ignore. However, since Bai Yueyue had not given any orders regarding Dean Jiang, their actions constituted disobedience.

"Yes, young lady..."

Although unwilling, these servants dared not disobey Bai Yueyue, for they understood the terrifying nature of Bai Yueyue's identity far better than the people in the orphanage.

"Well then, Dean Jiang, I'll be leaving now. Please take good care of the children," Bai Yueyue said after the servants apologized.

However, the children arrived with joy, but left trembling with fear, which deeply hurt Bai Yueyue.

Ugh, what an unhappy day.

"Miss, I heard there's a dessert shop along the way. Should we go check it out?" Seeing that Bai Yueyue looked like she had a dark cloud over her head, Hu Meier comforted her from the side.

"No need." Bai Yueyue really wasn't in the mood, and besides, she had several cars of servants behind her, so she didn't want to travel around with so many people.

"yes."

Somewhat dejected, Bai Yueyue returned to the manor. Before getting out of the car, she regained her composure, removed her veil, and put on her standard business smile.

After waving away the servants who had come to kneel and greet her, Bai Yueyue returned to her room with Hu Meier's help and handed over the documents she had prepared.

Because she had already made an appointment with Li Jieyue to go to Li Jieyue's room to ask her questions after returning, but the fourth floor was not a place Hu Meier was qualified to go to, Hu Meier handed the documents to Li Jieyue's personal attendant at the bottom of the stairs, and then Li Jieyue's personal attendant helped Bai Yueyue to Li Jieyue's room.

After Li Jieyue's personal attendant knocked on the door, Bai Yueyue said, "Mother, please allow me to enter the room to ask you some questions."

"I grant your permission."

Upon receiving Li Jieyue's order, the personal attendant opened the door. After Bai Yueyue entered the room, she placed the documents on Li Jieyue's desk and then closed the door again.

"Mom~" Since there were no outsiders, Bai Yueyue didn't want to pretend to be a noble lady anymore, so she took small steps forward and hugged Li Jieyue.

"My little Yueyue, you've suffered so much and been wronged." Li Jieyue, as a mother, comforted Bai Yueyue, gently patting her back.

Li Jieyue knew how hard Bai Yueyue had worked. It wasn't that she didn't feel sorry for Bai Yueyue, but rather that Bai Yueyue had to face these things and learn to deal with them.

This will be Bai Yueyue's lifestyle from now on. The information Li Jieyue has shows that the Imperial Clan is already negotiating with the Li family.

Although ostensibly discussing future cooperation, their true aim was to seize the remaining military power held by Bai Yueyue and Li Jianchuan. They were constantly trying to extract information about Bai Yueyue from Li Jianchuan, such as when she would return to the capital and rejoin the Li family, and whether she was engaged…

Given this situation, it's only a matter of time before the Imperial Clan approaches Bai Yueyue. Currently, Li Jianchuan, Lü Dan, and Li Jieyue in Asia City are trying to block them in the capital. However, this won't last long. Within the Li family, a large portion still desires a marriage alliance with the Imperial Clan. As Li Jieyue's daughter, and with the Imperial Clan also interested in her, Bai Yueyue is naturally the most suitable choice.

The imperial family will definitely attend Bai Yueyue's coming-of-age ceremony. After that, Bai Yueyue's life will be completely changed, and she will truly live the life of a noble.

After a long period of pleading, Bai Yueyue finally regained some of her composure, picked up the documents she had prepared from the table, and said, "Mom, this is the list of people I've decided to execute."

Saying these words still made Bai Yueyue feel uncomfortable, but she had to do it. What made Bai Yueyue a little happier was that there were no outsiders, and they didn't have to talk in such an unpleasant way as nobles.
