The butler nodded quickly in greeting. His sharp eyes swept between the servants. He patted the head butler on the shoulder and said in a firm but low voice, "Be careful. These are the luggage of distinguished guests. Handle them with the same care as if they were precious treasures."
The head servant was a burly man, his brow furrowed in a tense expression. The butler could sense the anxiety emanating from him. He knew what the head servant was thinking, so he leaned in and whispered in his ear, "I know what you're thinking, but the demon-woman Blood Lotus died at the hands of Miss Yuan's father. She won't be seen again. Even if she were still alive, she couldn't escape the clutches of those masters."
The head servant was visibly shaken upon hearing this, then heaved a sigh of relief, his expression much more relaxed. He nodded hastily and began to handle the luggage in his hands with even more meticulousness.
Just as they were busy, Yuan Shuyi's gentle voice rang out again: "Thank you, you have worked hard." These simple words were like a spring breeze blowing across an icy river, making people feel warmer and happier.
The housekeepers and servants worked even harder, their movements more swiftly, and everyone showed extra care. They knew that their efforts were not just about moving the items, but also about their deep respect and welcome for Miss Yuan Shuyi.

Prince Rong's Mansion
The prince was gathering his five sons to discuss an important issue - who would be Miss Yuan's husband.
Miss Yuan was a famous beauty and the prince's ideal husband. However, when the prince put this question to his five sons, he received unexpected answers.
The eldest son, Rong Fan, was gentle and elegant. He spoke first: "Father, I already have someone I like in my heart, so it is not convenient for me to marry Miss Yuan." His voice was calm and firm, revealing his loyalty and respect for feelings.
After saying this, Rong Fan knelt in front of King Rong.
The second son, Rong Hao, was upright and resolute. He said bluntly, "Father, I have no plans to get married yet, and I have no interest in this Miss Yuan."
The third son, Rong Ye, looked frivolous. He said with a grin, "Father, you can let me marry Miss Yuan, but I will take a concubine the next day." His words made everyone present feel a little embarrassed.
The fourth son, Rong Xue, was not present. He was recuperating in his room and did not participate.
The fifth son, Ronghua, was a man who loved homosexuality, and the whole of Pengjiang City knew about this characteristic of his. He did not directly answer the prince's question, but just smiled and shook his head.
Looking at his five sons, the prince felt a headache. He had thought this was a simple question, but he had not expected it to trigger so many different reactions. None of his sons seemed willing to marry Miss Yuan.
"Ah..." Prince Rong sighed.
Madam Rong stood by and held Prince Rong's hand.
Although she was over fifty, she still looked graceful and elegant. She said softly, "Your Highness, the children are grown up now. They should make their own decisions. Besides, there's no happiness in forcing things, right?"
"Yes, yes, madam is right." Prince Rong held his forehead with his hand.
Mrs. Rong quickly handed over a cup of tea.
After a while, Prince Rong continued, "Since that's the case, I propose a condition. From now on, whoever can win her heart and marry her, I will pass on the throne of Crown Prince to him!"
"What?"
"What?"
Everyone present was shocked.
"Your Highness, the position of Crown Prince is so important, how can it be treated as a joke?" Madam Rong couldn't help but say.
"Alright, that's it. Each of you is so outstanding, so let's see how each of you performs!"
