"Besides that, Dean Jiang, I plan to expand the orphanage. Do you have any suggestions for me?" Bai Yueyue asked. Her biggest concern about the orphanage was that the number of orphans would increase in the future.
First, those monsters have been highly active recently, and many people have already died in their attacks; second, Bai Yueyue knows that someone of her status, if offended, could very well face the death penalty, and many people will be coming to the city around the time of her coming-of-age ceremony. Although Bai Yueyue and her team try their best to prevent contact between nobles and commoners, their biggest fear is a conflict between them that Bai Yueyue cannot prevent.
"Miss Bai, I have compiled the maintenance and construction data of the orphanage since its construction for you." Director Jiang said, handing another stack of documents to Hu Meier.
This time, Bai Yueyue didn't rush to look at it, but only asked Hu Meier to keep it safe. After all, she already had enough to do and didn't want to add any more tasks to herself for the time being.
"Dean Jiang is very kind." Bai Yueyue nodded, knowing that this would make it easier for her to ask Bai Zhenhao for funding on weekends.
After a brief discussion, Bai Yueyue bid farewell to Dean Jiang and returned to the manor. On her way back, she received another call from Li Meng, who once again ordered her to deal with the monsters.
By the time Bai Yueyue returned to the manor, she was exhausted. Even with magic to restore her energy, she couldn't withstand such torment.
After returning to her room for a short rest and lunch, Bai Yueyue began her final lessons of the week.
During that time, they went to deal with the group of monsters again.
"Why is it like before, like training myself to control my magic?" Bai Yueyue muttered to herself as she felt the fluctuations of magic within her body after finishing.
If previously, due to a lack of time to train her magic, the magic power within her was as turbulent and difficult to control, then now, after this period of intensive use, Bai Yueyue has begun to be able to control her magic output.
"Is it targeting the source within me again?" Bai Yueyue recalled that Nianxin had done the same thing before, all to stimulate the source within her and awaken it as soon as possible.
Previously, Xiao Ya had been there to protect her, but now that's no longer the case. Bai Yueyue has to rely on herself to face the Ten Directions Trial Society's plans against her.
No matter what, Bai Yueyue will protect the source within her body, after all, this is what Xiaoya entrusted to her before disappearing.
Because she was going to the orphanage tomorrow, but it was just an inspection, and Bai Yueyue didn't need to prepare any lessons, she only found out the information on the three more troublesome children and reviewed it again.
"Tell Dean Jiang that those three children must greet me at the orphanage tomorrow," Bai Yueyue ordered Hu Meier. Without Bai Yueyue's direct order, not only would Jiang Shu not go to school, but the two boys who wanted to go out would definitely run away when Dean Jiang wasn't looking.
After making a temporary decision about the orphanage and having Hu Meier prepare gifts for the children, Bai Yueyue picked up the village personnel information that made her uncomfortable again.
Hundreds of people, some grew up there, some fled there for various reasons, and others were robbed or sold there. Their fates were now in Bai Yueyue's hands.
She was having a headache. The village chief who attacked her would undoubtedly be executed, but what about his family? Should they also be executed? There were also children in school who were unaware of these things.
Similarly, Lin's parents, who ignored Bai Yueyue's orders and broke their promise to her, should also be executed according to the laws of the Imperial Clan, even if they did not directly attack Bai Yueyue. Their extreme disrespect for Bai Yueyue affected the authority of the mayor's adopted daughter.
What would Lin Zhaodi feel if they were executed? This matter must be told to Lin Zhaodi regardless; it is her right to know.
Furthermore, what should be done about those who were sold or robbed and taken to villages? Their lives span a huge period of time, making it difficult to find their families. Some have been assimilated and believe that the village is their home, and some have even gone insane. Can these people be reintegrated into society normally?
"Miss, you should rest now. Madam said that if you don't know how to handle this, you can go to Madam for advice." Hu Meier looked at the time and saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning. She came to Bai Yueyue's side and reminded her.
"I understand." Bai Yueyue put down her pen, her eyes a little blurry. With Hu Meier's help, Bai Yueyue finished washing up and went to bed to rest.
Before falling asleep, Bai Yueyue was still thinking about how to deal with the villagers and whether Li Jieyue would approve of her reasons for saving them.
As dawn broke, Bai Yueyue, preoccupied with the situation at the orphanage and the problems in the village, instinctively got up and was immediately knocked on the door.
"Young Miss, please allow me to enter."
"I grant your permission."
The familiar scene played out again. Helplessly, Hu Meier reminded Bai Yueyue once more that she could only get out of bed after ringing the bell on the bed and waiting for Hu Meier's help.
Of course, Bai Yueyue ignored her completely and gave a perfunctory reply: "I know."
After changing and washing up, Bai Yueyue chose a light blue outfit from the clothes selected by Hu Meier. After Hu Meier styled her hair, Bai Yueyue went downstairs to have breakfast with Li Jieyue.
After quietly and elegantly finishing her breakfast, Bai Yueyue said to Li Jieyue, "Mother, I have some questions I need to ask you later."
"I grant you permission to go directly to the fourth floor to ask me questions after you return from the orphanage."
