Qing Yan needs to calm down. Transmigrating is one thing, but becoming an infant? Is this a joke? When she was three years old, she met a jade-carved little boy. Qing Yan's eyes immediately lit...
In just a quarter of an hour, Yiken got everything he wanted from that man, and he was overjoyed. It was indeed efficient and decisive.
No wonder Emperor Kangxi often said that when faced with a thorny problem, the shadow guards were the best choice.
"Father, may I handle this personally?" Yiken'e turned to look at Yin and asked.
Yin and Qingyan exchanged a glance and nodded. Hutulifengshengzhalafen and Yiken'e, two little heads, slowly approached each other and whispered to each other.
The servants kneeling below the pavilion were relieved; it was just a child, easy to fool.
"Father, were these people all sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Yiken asked directly.
Yin shook his head: "Only one-third were sent by the Imperial Household Department, and the other two-thirds were servants we bought in Jiangnan!"
The servants on the ground watched, and Yin and Qingyan didn't say much. After explaining the general situation, they prepared to see how the children would handle it.
Yin, holding his teacup, calmly looked at the children and told them to handle the situation.
With the support of their masters, the servants below dared not say much and could only silently cooperate with their young masters.
“Alright, in that case, the servants of the Imperial Household Department will kneel on the left side, and the servants purchased from the villa will kneel on the other side!” Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen said softly with a small handkerchief.
The servants dared not raise their heads to look at the little princess; they could only silently obey the arrangements.
"Ah Hun, look at these people, they have no manners at all. They've only been kneeling for less than an hour, and they can't even walk anymore!" Hutu Lifengsheng Zhalafen said disdainfully.
Yiken'e laughed; her sister always had a sharp tongue.
"Hurry up and deal with this, we need to rest. This is a mess." Yiken'e complained.
The brother and sister smiled obsequiously at Yin and Qingyan, telling them to sit aside and keep watch.
Following Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen's instructions, all the servants knelt down. Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen began to scrutinize the servants from the Imperial Household Department. She felt that these people must be servants of aristocratic families of the Imperial Household Department, otherwise, how could they have such audacity?
"Alright, tell me first, whose family are you all from?" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen asked casually.
The servants sent by the Imperial Household Department were unsure of themselves. Were they here to settle scores later, or were they going to let them go because they thought the family was well-off?
Everyone thought of the latter. The noble ladies of the royal family were all trained by matrons who were thinking about their own future interests. They would clearly explain the hierarchy of the noble families to the princesses, informing them that those families should be respected so that they would not suffer after marriage.
Therefore, everyone secretly rejoiced that Yin and Qingyan had let the children handle the situation, and in the end, they were able to escape.
The Fourth Prince and his wife certainly couldn't embarrass their two young masters, so they started talking about their ties to the powerful Qin family. Many of the twins were astonished upon hearing this. This small villa was truly a place where hidden talents resided, with all sorts of people, including even the concubines' relatives.
"Father, who is Uya?" Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen had lived under the care of Consort Tong since birth and had never heard of Uya.
“Oh, she’s just one of Mafa’s concubines. Your father’s biological mother is Ma Ma. If you have any doubts, wait for Mafa to scold you!” Yiken’e turned to Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen and explained.
Yiken'e's cold words made the servant tremble. Fortunately, he didn't have to face Kangxi directly. The young prince Yiken'e in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.
Yin was very satisfied with Yiken'e's ability to respond. When she learned about the matter, Kangxi had already told Yiken'e about it. After hearing about it, Yiken'e also asked Consort Tong about it.
“With such powerful backing, if I were to deal with you all, the Emperor would probably question me. Eunuch Su, go and send all these people to the Emperor. Tell him I have no choice and that he should make the selection for me before sending them over!” Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, taking advantage of being a girl, made the request directly.
Su Peisheng glanced at Yin and Qingyan, and they both nodded to him. Su Peisheng walked over and told the guards to keep the people waiting, while he went with them to meet the emperor.
"Alright, as for you, I won't say much more. Bayan, take the beating!" Yiken'e watched as the people from the Imperial Household Department were taken away. These were servants who had signed death contracts with the other residence. Even if they were beaten to death, it wouldn't matter.
"Yes!" Bayan clapped his hands three times in mid-air, and several people carrying boards appeared to watch over Xiao Sula.
The twins counted and found there were 21 servants left. With ten long benches, if they dealt with the head steward first, the other servants would be arranged in rows of ten.
"Steward, let me ask you, how many years have you had this villa?" Yiken'e looked at the artificial hill in the distance, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
“It’s been three years!” The head steward lowered his head, knowing that this time he would definitely not have a good ending. Yiken’e was personally trained by Emperor Kangxi. There were some rumors circulating among the servants that Emperor Kangxi doted on Yiken’e and even taught him how to punish people.
Yiken pondered for a while in a low voice: "Other villas have become very prosperous in three years, but here, it's as if nothing has happened in these three years?"
The steward dared not speak; how should he explain this matter?
"Tell the truth!" Although Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen's voice was soft and cute, his imposing manner was not relaxed at all.
"Yes... this servant failed to control the people below, letting them run wild and causing the masters to suffer!" the steward said directly.
Yiken looked coldly at the steward, "How could he say such a thing?"
To outsiders, he was abusing his power, but who could remain calm when faced with such a problem?
Moreover, Yiken felt that he had already made a huge blunder, and Kangxi should have already received the news.
"Not properly restrained?" Yiken'e had a faint smile on his face. "Do you think a single sentence can absolve you of your sins?"
In fact, Yiken'e understood that the servants sent by the Imperial Household Department had a higher status than those in the mansion, so it was understandable that the stewards of the mansion would listen to these people.
"Fine, I suppose you'll want to save face, so you probably won't say anything more!" Yiken said coldly to the steward.
The steward lowered his head, a slight sigh rising in his heart. What should he say now? If he said too much, he might lose his life. It was better to remain silent!
