Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the children are on holiday. Bai Zi and the others went to play by the river. Xuan Yuan Ying and her sister stayed behind to help.
Bai Yueniang took Shangguan Yunxi to the greenhouse to distribute benefits: a red envelope containing fifty copper coins and two mooncakes to each person, plus a day and a half off.
The young women were overjoyed. Holding red envelopes and mooncakes, they kowtowed in gratitude and left happily.
There weren't many servants in the household. Li Yunfang's three families each received one tael of silver, Li Ergou's three brothers each received three taels of silver, and the three brothers with one eye each received five taels of silver.
Baili Fengyun and
Grandma Li and Liu Cuihua also received red envelopes containing two taels of silver and a pound of mooncakes.
Liu Cuihua slapped her thigh. "Madam is too generous! It's one thing to eat with us every day, but she even gives us a Mid-Autumn Festival bonus!"
Grandma Li's eyes flickered slightly, but she smiled without saying a word...
Shangguan Yichen rode in a carriage to deliver holiday gifts, with Baili Fengyun following on horseback, Bai Yi secretly protecting him, and One-Eyed Dragon and Fatty driving the carriage.
Lin Feifei, Bei Gonglan, Aunt Fang, Zuixianlou, and Qi Yuanwei from the county government each received a box of mooncakes, a box of cakes, and a jar of chili sauce.
These are all practical items. I'd like to add that Bei Gonglan recently adjusted her mindset and returned home. You have to get back up from where you fell down.
Lin Feifei had mixed feelings, but she patted her chest and promised to take good care of Bai Gonglan.
Mo Qingcheng chuckled. "Feifei, you should take care of your fiancé first."
Lin Feifei was stunned. Fiancé? Forget it.
At this moment, Young Master Wan was worrying when news came from the Lin family that Lin Feifei would rather die than marry, and that she didn't care what anyone did; she could just become a nun if necessary.
Wan Ziliang remained silent, his face cold.
Shui Sheng curled his lip: "Young Master, what's there to consider?"
Wan Ziliang swept his cold gaze over them: "You're very free?"
Since the disgusting incident, Wan Ziliang, out of consideration for Shui Sheng's past loyalty, did not drive him away.
Shui Sheng kept looking for an opportunity to make up for it, but unfortunately Wan Ziliang no longer valued him and wouldn't let him participate in important matters, which made Shui Sheng panic.
Shui Sheng dared not say more, and took a deep breath: "Young Master..."
"Get out, I need some peace and quiet..." Wan Ziliang waved his hand, signaling Shui Sheng to leave quickly.
Shui Sheng opened his mouth, hesitated, and left angrily.
A moment later, a dark figure silently descended: "Master..."
"How's the investigation going?"
"Master, this is the information I have gathered..." The man in black took out a stack of documents, handed them to Wan Ziliang, and waited to the side.
Wan Ziliang slowly unfolded the document, his heart pounding with increasing dread. After an unknown amount of time, he ordered, "Hold your positions."
"Yes!" The man in black disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wan Ziliang rubbed his temples. How could things have turned out this way? Originally… Lady Ruyi was just an accident…
Was it really just an accident?
Wan Ziliang was lost in thought, completely unaware of the malicious look in Shui Sheng's eyes as he left...
Two stories unfolded, and Lin Feifei and Bei Gonglan were overjoyed to receive Mo Qingcheng's gift, so they quickly returned the favor.
Shangguan Yichen nodded to his subordinates, "This trip..."
Qian Mansheng felt a surge of gratitude. Madam Ruyi had not continued to doubt him. This was the last chance, so he took the gifts from Aunt Fang's house back with him.
Aunt Fang made two sets of clothes by hand and asked Shangguan Yichen to give them to Mo Qingcheng.
Shangguan Yichen nodded. "Okay, Mother is very... thin, welcome."
The most comical of them all was Qi Yuanwei's old butler. A hint of joy flashed in the old man's eyes when he saw Mo Qingcheng's gift.
"Young master, young master, Madam Ruyi has brought you a gift..."
Qi Yuanwei's eyes were dark and unfathomable as he impatiently walked out. When he met Shangguan Yichen's icy gaze, he frowned slightly: "Why is it you?"
"Hehe, does Lord Qi perhaps wish for Mother to come in person?"
