"You're really clever. No wonder Miss made you the housekeeper." Seeing Yue Lanxing point out the reason, Xiao Nan admired Miss's discerning eye even more.
The two of them quickly went through the whole story, leaving no stone unturned—those who instigated, those who carried out, and those who took advantage of the chaos. When Xu Dachuan arrived with his men, those people were still trying to deny it.
"I want to see Miss. It must be because you two are in cahoots, conspiring together to do evil. You two have all planned this together."
"Yes, it was clearly Sister Xiaonan who made us do it. We didn't dare because she threatened us."
"Yue Lanxing, don't frame innocent people. You made a mistake in your own work and are trying to pin the blame on us. I want to see Miss and let her know your true colors."
"Waaaaah, I know I was wrong. Please, Miss, give me another chance. I was really, really wrong."
Xiao Nan pouted, "Alright, alright, what are you yelling about? You dare to let Miss come and see your unreasonable behavior? Brother Da Chuan, shut them up and take them away."
Xu Dachuan looked at Yue Lanxing. The two of them had previously agreed to a fight, and Xu Dachuan had lost. So he was waiting for Yue Lanxing to speak. The others also thought that his action was correct, after all, Yue Lanxing was still the housekeeper.
"You're such a busybody! It's Xiaonan who's trying to harm you! She's the one who set this up! She's the one who gave me the key!"
Yue Lanxing pretended not to hear them and cupped her hands in greeting to Xu Dachuan, "Brother Xu, take them away and deal with them. If they keep making such a racket, they'll disturb the young lady."
"Take him away!" Xu Dachuan waved his hand, and the men behind him stepped forward to gag and tie him up.
After everyone had been taken away, Yue Lanxing and Xiao Nan exchanged a glance before inviting the young lady back. "Are you all done with your work?" Xu Zhaoyue had already coaxed Doubao to sleep, and Doubao was lying obediently on her lap with his eyes closed.
“Brother Xu has already taken care of it. Give Doubao to me, I’ll take it to the doghouse. Does Miss still need to reprimand the servants?” Yue Lanxing picked Doubao up from Xu Zhaoyue’s lap. Although his movements were not very gentle, Doubao was still sleeping soundly.
When Xu Zhaoyue returned to the villa, she saw that there were already so few servants standing in two rows. "How many people did Xu Dachuan take with him?" Xu Zhaoyue turned to look at Yue Lanxing.
"Reporting to Miss, there are five in total." This number seems particularly large here, considering that last time it was less than half of this number. However, Yue Lanxing was angry with the young lady, so she immediately added, "I will arrange for them to be sent immediately."
"Well, give the rest an extra month's bonus. You don't need to pay it back if you don't do a good job." Xu Zhaoyue's tone was indifferent, but she wasn't angry at all. This time, keeping the most obedient ones was the key to success, and kicking out those who had ulterior motives would be better.
"Thank you, Miss." Hearing about the reward, everyone thanked her in unison; who would care about those who betrayed the young lady? Yue Lanxing was somewhat pleased with the punishment; it was nothing to him. "Yes, Miss."
"Alright, everyone, go downstairs." Just as Xu Zhaoyue turned to go upstairs, Xiao Nan said to her, "Miss, now that Yue Lanxing has become the butler, let him move into the butler's room so he can take your orders."
