"Yi Yi, why do you still think I did this? What good would it do me? Before you told me, I didn't even... I didn't even know what happened. Besides, you saw it yourself, my phone also... received messages from others. Do you think I'm so bored that I'd send myself messages?"
Yi Yi: "..." Who knows if you're just bored or if you're planning this on purpose.
“Even if you want to frame me, you have to provide evidence. Just because I’m currently desperate and living under someone else’s roof doesn’t mean I can be so easily misunderstood. Otherwise, I… I won’t stand for it. Let’s wait for Brother Xun to come back and see what he has to say. I believe Brother Xun will be fair and impartial and won’t favor anyone.”
Xia Bingqing kept calling him "Brother Xun," which made Yi Yi really uncomfortable.
Just then, a voice scolding the servants came from the courtyard. "What's wrong with you little brats? Sitting in the courtyard eating sunflower seeds so early in the morning? What, have you finished all your work?"
That's Li Ma's voice.
Yi Yi quickly went out to greet her. "Young Madam."
Li Ma bowed respectfully to Yi Yi.
Li Ma and Yi Yi have always been close. Li Ma is also an elder in the family, having served the Mu family for over twenty years. She doesn't need these formalities.
However, Yi Yi knew that Li Ma was worried that the new servants in the villa would be disrespectful to her, the newly appointed young mistress. She wanted to set an example for the other servants and tell them that Yi Yi was the mistress of the house, and no matter how high their status, they all had to obey Yi Yi's orders.
Yi Yi was clearly very grateful to Li Ma. Although she had only been the newly appointed young mistress for a few days, she could indeed feel that the servants behaved differently when Mu Mu was around and when she wasn't.
Li Ma was quite authoritative among the servants. As soon as she spoke, the two maids who had been sitting in the courtyard eating melon seeds quickly put them away and went back to their own business.
"Aunt Li, what brings you here? How are Grandpa and Sister Wenya? I'm going to visit them in a little while."
Previously, Li Ma had stayed by Mu Wenya's side almost every step of the way, but later, as Mu Wenya's condition improved, she had much more free time.
Upon hearing this, Li Ma bowed respectfully and said, "Young Madam, the young master specially sent me here to teach these new servants manners."
"Mumu?"
Yi Yi found it strange. Mu Nanxun never interfered in such trivial matters, so why would he specifically send Li Ma over to teach him manners?
"Exactly," Li Ma replied. The young master was worried that the young mistress, being kind-hearted, might be reluctant to scold the servants, which could lead to some unreasonable servants taking advantage of her and causing her distress. Therefore, he specifically asked me to come and stay for a few days, both to teach the servants manners and to keep the young mistress company. After the young master returns from his business trip, I will go back to the old master and the eldest young lady's place.
So that's how it is. Mu Nanxun really put his heart into this.
Yi Yi suddenly realized that she had called Mu Nanxun several times last night. Although she hadn't explicitly said what it was about, Mu Nanxun probably noticed her hesitant and embarrassed manner.
Mu Nanxun, being such a clever man, could naturally guess that she must have some grievances to confide in him. However, he was far away abroad and could not return immediately, so he sent Li Ma to check on the situation.
