Su Peisheng led everyone into the courtyard before quickly returning the greeting: "Miss Lin, you are too kind. We are here on the orders of our master to bring you some men."
As he spoke, he turned to the side and pointed to a group of people behind him.
Lin Yun glanced at the twenty or thirty people behind her and was slightly taken aback: "This..."
Lin Yun was a little stunned. Just a few days ago, she felt like she was surrounded by people, and now she was seeing off so many people?
Isn't this Fourth Master a little too nervous?
Su Peisheng smiled and said, "Master said that the young lady's workshop is about to open and needs capable people."
These were all carefully selected by the Imperial Household Department; they were skilled in accounting, business management, and getting things done—everything was included.
A hint of surprise flashed through Lin Yun's mind.
No, do we have no secrets anymore? My workshop hasn't even opened yet, and you all already know everything?
Besides, are we that close?
But he said it beautifully: "Thank you for your consideration, Fourth Master, for relieving my urgent problem. I was just worried about the shortage of manpower."
"I'd also trouble Eunuch Su to make the trip himself."
Su Peisheng waved his hand, "You're too kind, young lady. It's our duty." He paused, then lowered his voice, "Also, our master asked us to pass on a message..."
Nothing much is happening lately, so it's best if you don't go out. If anything needs to be done, have your servants handle it.
Lin Yun's eyes narrowed, as if she understood something. She nodded and said, "I understand. Please tell Fourth Master that I will remember this."
Seeing her intelligence, Su Peisheng secretly praised her, but showed no sign of it on his face: "Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely pass on the message."
Afterwards, Su Peisheng introduced the people he brought to Lin Yun one by one, and then addressed her in front of her, saying, "From now on, your employer is Miss Lin."
Her orders are the master's orders; anyone who dares to disobey will be met with harsh treatment!
Everyone responded in unison, their attitude respectful.
Seeing this, Lin Yun felt both touched and somewhat uneasy.
She never expected that Emperor Yongzheng would attach such importance to her safety, even going so far as to mobilize personnel from the Imperial Household Department.
What made me uneasy was the fear that these people would not obey me; royal servants were not so easy to deal with.
Lin Yun tried to persuade Su Peisheng to stay at her residence, but Su Peisheng declined, saying that he had to go back to report and had already booked a room at an inn for the night, and would return to the capital early the next morning.
Lin Yun didn't insist on keeping her. Perhaps Eunuch Su didn't want to meet her family, which saved him the trouble.
After seeing Su Peisheng off, Lin Yun stood in the courtyard, looking at the new group of people, and took a deep breath.
He said softly, "Now that everyone is here, we're all family. I hope you'll all help me out with things in the future."
The group quickly bowed and said, "Don't worry, young lady, we will do our best!"
Lin Yun smiled slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
She knew that it must be her blueprints that had caused such a huge uproar. Otherwise, the Fourth Master wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
Lin Yun was unaware that Fourth Master simply didn't want her to see Xie Yu again. He was using this opportunity to plant his own people, both to prevent them from seeing each other, to do her a favor, and to gain inside information—a win-win situation.
The art of rulership is like a vast abyss, unfathomable.
