After seeing Baili Chenyuan off, Lin Jiujiu took the array plate out again to examine it. After confirming that it was indeed an excellent item, she put it away again.
Just as she thought it was none of her business and was about to go back into the space, there was a knock on the door.
"Jiujiu, are you inside?"
Lin's father's voice came from outside the door.
When Lin Jiujiu first entered the space, she noticed that it seemed to have changed, so she had to put aside her plan to take a closer look.
He got up, opened the door, and let Lin's father in.
"Father, is something the matter?"
Lin Jiujiu invited them to sit down and poured a cup of tea for her father before asking her questions.
Lin's father was a little embarrassed and it took him a while to speak.
"Jiujiu, that..."
Lin's father stammered for a long time without getting to the point, but Lin Jiujiu was not in a hurry and did not urge him. She just stared at him and waited for him to finish speaking.
But the more she acted like this, the more embarrassed Mr. Lin felt, and it took him a long time to finally speak.
"Actually, I just wanted to ask you how to arrange those three people. I'm still a little worried."
Although her father's words seemed cryptic, Lin Jiujiu understood them perfectly.
Seeing his troubled expression, Lin Jiujiu smiled and took on the task.
Although she intended to train her family members, she didn't mean to make things difficult for them.
Besides, those three people were in special circumstances. She could have simply rejected them, but she insisted on bringing them back, so it's not wrong for her to handle their affairs herself.
Thinking this, Lin Jiujiu said to her father.
"Father, have them wait for me in the side hall. I'll handle this."
Upon hearing her words, Mr. Lin's face immediately lit up with a smile, the worry on his face vanished, and he hurriedly got up to leave.
It's like finally managing to throw away a hot potato, and being afraid it will be returned to you.
Lin Jiujiu found it somewhat amusing to see her father acting as if he wanted to avoid the situation at all costs.
But out of consideration for the elderly person's feelings, he didn't say it.
After seeing her father off, Lin Jiujiu tidied up the house and headed out.
As for the space issue, let's talk about it when we have more time.
When Lin Jiu arrived at the side hall, the three members of the Yang family were already waiting there.
However, all of them wore expressions of apprehension.
Although Lin Jiujiu bought them, it doesn't mean they can stay here forever.
They all knew that if they didn't perform well, Lin Jiujiu could resell them or return them to Manager Zhang at any time.
Their pretense of being a family has been exposed, and upon returning to the business, their identities will be investigated again.
Even if Manager Zhang wanted to avoid trouble, he wouldn't find them any good homes and would most likely sell them into hard labor.
This is already the best option.
Yang Li, the man who was pretending to be their father, looked at the fake daughter with worry in his eyes.
He thought that since the girl was so beautiful, she might even be sold to some kind of pickling place.
Just when everyone's hearts were in their throats, Lin Jiujiu stepped into the side hall.
However, Lin's father did not come in this time.
He even kept his distance, fearing that his daughter might ask him to arrange for those people again later.
He genuinely didn't want to, and didn't know how to arrange things.
The girl was brought back by her daughter; she must have her own reasons.
And so, apart from the fake family of three, only Lin Jiujiu remained in the side hall.
However, not long after Lin Jiujiu sat down, someone brought in a cup of fragrant tea.
The person who came was none other than Granny Huang's youngest daughter.
She remembered that her father had just told her that because Granny Huang used to manage things in the mansion, she was temporarily put in charge of the women they had bought.
Seeing that she had already started working in just an hour or two, she was quite diligent.
As for her daughter's easy job of serving tea and water, she had no objection.
After all, among the people they bought, the little girl was the youngest and there wasn't much she could do.
Lin Jiujiu originally wanted her to stay with Lin Xiaomei so that the two could keep each other company and take care of the children.
However, this arrangement is not bad. It's a good opportunity to observe the little girl's character before making a decision.
Although she was skilled at divination, the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart.
Lin Jiujiu glanced at the little girl, took a pastry from the table, and handed it to her.
The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the pastries, and she quickly bowed to Lin Jiujiu.
"Thank you for the reward, Master."
Lin Jiujiu smiled and nodded, then waved for her to leave.
Only after the person left did Lin Jiujiu look at the three trembling figures and speak.
"Tell me, why did you hide your identity?"
Lin Jiujiu actually lied to Ya Xing at the time.
The three men's identity certificates were genuine, but they were not theirs.
She was so certain because one of the three of them was someone the original owner of this body knew.
The three of them were terrified by her words.
Finally, it was the young girl who spoke first.
"If you don't want us to stay, you can send us back to the brothel."
Lin Jiujiu wasn't surprised that she could speak, and that she had only pretended to be mute before.
Even her hoarse voice was within Lin Jiujiu's expectations.
He made his words very clear: Lin Jiujiu was sending them back to Yaxing, but they would never reveal their identities to him.
Yang Li, who was standing next to her, looked surprised when she spoke. Clearly, he didn't understand his daughter whom he had adopted halfway through life.
The girl's younger brother clung tightly to his sister's waist, burying his head in her chest, looking terrified.
Lin Jiujiu didn't say anything upon hearing this, but instead picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip.
There was no intention to break the ice.
After a long time, Yang Li also expressed his opinion.
“Madam Lin, it’s best if you don’t know about our affairs. Please send us back to the brothel. We won’t cause you any trouble.”
Lin Jiujiu found this amusing. If these people really didn't want to involve others, they shouldn't have expressed their willingness to go with her when she was choosing servants.
Saying this now is simply because their lies have been exposed, and their identities will soon be revealed.
However, she had her own reasons for bringing these people back.
She didn't know who Yang Li was, but she recognized the girl in front of her.
If it weren't for this connection, she really wouldn't have brought him back today.
After all, she has never been one to seek out trouble.
Thinking this, Lin Jiujiu gently put down her teacup and smiled at the girl.
“Your Highness, that’s not right. Guests are guests, there’s no reason to turn them away.”
Upon hearing her words, Ning Yue tensed up instantly, his entire body radiating a sense of vigilance.
"What did you say? I don't understand."
