Just as Xu Zhaoyue was dealing with the servants, Xu Zhaohao came in humming a song, "Oh, why are there so many people? Aren't you going to eat?" He was surprised to see a whole bunch of people kneeling on the floor.
"Ahem, what's going on, sis? What did they do wrong?" Xu Zhaohao had never seen his sister so angry before, seeing her make such a big fuss.
Xu Zhaoyue shook her head, holding her head in her hand. "Don't ask me, I don't want to talk about it."
"This... Xiaonan, tell me." Xu Zhaohao saw how annoyed she was and quickly asked Xiaonan. "Young Master, those three embezzled money and sold the things in Miss's storeroom, and even replaced them with inferior ones. The Biluochun tea that you like to drink was replaced."
"Most importantly, she broke the wine that Miss brought back for Master." Xiao Nan pointed out all their mistakes, especially the maid who broke the wine, who was the most unforgivable.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaohao realized the seriousness of the situation. "Ah? How can this be? She must pay the price. Sis, is there any way to salvage this?"
“Yes, when Butler Xu returns, have them handed over to him first, and find out everything they took out. What about Xu Dachuan? Have him suppress those people; I find them annoying,” Xu Zhaoyue said.
"Alright, hurry up and get them away. You guys go help too." Xu Zhaohao also told Li Qi and the others to go with him, afraid that they would anger Xu Zhaoyue again.
The three who made the mistake were pushed down, while the rest remained kneeling on the ground. "Alright, all of you get up. Let's prepare dinner." Xu Zhaoyue stood up, glanced at the maids on the ground, and knew that this incident would keep them in line for a while.
"Xiao Hao, come here, let me give you your gift first." Xu Zhaoyue walked towards the long table. "Hey, coming, coming." Xu Zhaohao quickly followed behind her.
"Wow, this is obviously for me. What brand is it?" Xu Zhaohao knew at a glance that the fountain pen was for him. He loved writing and didn't need Xu Zhaoyue to say anything; he had already taken it in his hand and looked at it from left to right, clearly liking it very much.
Seeing that her gift was appreciated, Xu Zhaoyue felt much better. "It's not a big brand, but it's very easy to write with your left hand. It's specially designed for left-handed people."
"That's great! I want a pen like that." After she explained the function of the pen, Xu Zhaohao's eyes lit up. He couldn't wait to try it out, but he knew he should wait until he got back. Right now, he needed to have dinner with his sister.
"Let's eat first. Hurry up and bring it up. Three meals a day are very important. You can't skip dinner." Xu Zhaohao pushed Xu Zhaoyue to her seat, and Xiao Nan led the others to clear the food away.
Thanks to Xu Zhaohao's witty remarks, Xu Zhaoyue enjoyed her dinner. However, since Steward Xu hadn't returned, the maid's needs were left to be dealt with until the next morning.
"Brother, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? The kitchen left some food for you, go and eat." When Yue Lanxing and the others returned, Yue Xuanxuan was already waiting for them in front of the door, carrying steamed buns and vegetables.
Xue Huzi patted his stomach and realized he was indeed hungry. "I'm really hungry. Let's go eat." Then he pulled Tian Dai away.
Yue Lanxing opened the door and let Yue Xuanxuan in. Then she opened the cabinet, took out a bottle of medicine, and skillfully poured water and took the medicine.
"Brother! Go check on Uncle Huang in a couple of days. How could you just go down and grab that maid? What if something happened?" Even though Yue Xuanxuan was angry, she still gently put down the food.
Yue Lanxing still showed her his hand, "I just held her wrist. After Tian Dai went down, I had him hold her down. I didn't touch her after that. Don't worry, it's okay. I've been taking this medicine all along."
"This isn't about taking medicine or not. Didn't Uncle Huang say that if you can avoid allergens, you don't need to take medicine? All medicines have side effects, and you'll develop resistance sooner or later. Oh well, I can't control you anyway." Yue Xuanxuan knew Yue Lanxing's temper and that she wouldn't listen to her.
Yue Lanxing had already sat down to eat. "Alright, I'll go to Uncle Huang's for a check-up in a few days, so you don't need to worry. Just focus on your work, and once you've filled out your college application and been accepted, you can go to university."
"Okay, I know. Be careful. There's one more thing I need to tell you. Today, Miss arranged for me to go out with her. Shouldn't I be taking Sister Xiaonan with me?" Yue Xuanxuan nodded. She was about to leave but then felt she had to nip the fire in her brother's heart in the bud, so she told him what had happened before they got in the car.
"And the red wine I went to get was originally good, but it was replaced with ordinary wine later. What that arrested maid said might not be true? The Xu family is a prominent family, and the things inside..."
Yue Lanxing frowned and interrupted her, "Whether it was a setup or not, that person had bad intentions, and the three people who lined the pockets are real. You must have had a lot of work to do during your time here, so why did you do something like this? Whose fault is it?"
"I didn't mean to say that Miss is bad. Never mind, you should rest first." Yue Xuanxuan really didn't mean that. She just wanted to tell her brother that getting involved in troubled matters was not a good thing.
"Get some rest. I know what I'm doing." Yue Lanxing had something else he hadn't mentioned. The ropes on the swing that was being dismantled today had been cut a few times with a knife. He stared intently, lost in thought.
After Yue Xuanxuan left, Yue Lanxing rolled up his right sleeve. A ring of red rashes appeared on his forearm, but the area was small. When the three people were struggling, they started biting people, and he was accidentally bitten.
But she's fine now. She's taken her medicine and Yue Lanxing went to bed to rest after finishing her meal.
