Marquis Anping was quick to act, waking up early in the morning and immediately arranging for people to carry it out.
Xihe Courtyard was where the original owner used to live in the Marquis's Mansion. Ever since the original owner disappeared, it has been designated as a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to set foot there without permission.
Everything inside has been preserved in its original condition, without any changes in its position, but people are sent in to clean it from time to time to prevent it from getting dusty!
Everyone in the mansion knew they couldn't approach without permission, and they usually avoided each other, fearing that someone would use it against them.
That area is off-limits; it's best not to even look up at it. If you get curious, you never know what the consequences might be!
It's definitely not going to be good.
But now, for the first time ever, they've let people in to clean up the place, which is really hard to understand!
As a servant, being obedient and doing things is the basic rule. If you want to live a better life, you should do more and ask less questions!
It's better not to know what you shouldn't know; the more you know, the faster you might die!
They can't say much, but they can still make all sorts of guesses in their hearts.
Everyone was speculating that the Marquis might have lost his mind again, acting on a whim!
The young lady has been missing for a while now, and this sudden major reorganization seems very strange!
Could it be that the young lady has been found and will be back soon, which is why the Marquis is so enthusiastic about having people pack up?
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain!
This place has always been closed. We arrange for someone to clean it on a daily basis, and it's always the same few people we know best. We don't want anyone else!
Now they've invited quite a few people to join in, and it's clear that there's been a major overhaul, with the intention of cleaning up and welcoming people back!
Seeing that the Marquis also looked excited and was in a good mood, it must be a happy thing!
I just don't know what happened!
Who can guess what the Marquis is thinking?
Who knows, maybe the Marquis had a sudden whim and couldn't stand seeing the young lady's courtyard so deserted and desolate, so he sent people to tidy it up, and he was satisfied, so he was happy!
Maybe the young lady is really coming back!
That's why the Marquis is so happy!
Look how much the Marquis cares! He's even taken on the role of supervisor, pointing out any shortcomings and correcting them!
The Marquis has all the final say; no one else dares to say a word!
If you do a good job, you'll earn admiring glances; but if you do a bad job and damage things, that's a disaster—a storm will immediately descend!
Everyone had to be extremely careful, for fear that a single mistake would bring them trouble!
The Marquis really shows no mercy!
Marquis Anping ordered the cleaning of Xihe Courtyard without telling anyone else, but since it was all within the manor, any commotion spread quickly, so Old Madam Su and the others soon found out as well.
However, they didn't react much. They were used to it. Marquis Anping was quite a troublemaker, so they let him do whatever he wanted!
Anyway, it's not a bad thing; Xiheyuan really does need to be tidied up.
They all showed no outward reaction, but inwardly they were all pondering what items they should add.
There's really not enough stuff inside Xiheyuan. I need to go outside and find some nice and fun things to bring back!
We must decorate Xihe Courtyard beautifully, making it both charming and adorable!
The news of the purging of Xihe Courtyard eventually reached Beiyuan. Su Mingyue and Luo Xiaoniang both heard about it and were furious!
“Little sister! Your plan has failed! Father hasn’t even thought of us! He only has his legitimate daughter in his heart! He’s forgotten that there’s another daughter in the dilapidated North Garden! Did you hear that? He reopened Xihe Courtyard, sent many people to clean and tidy it up, and added a lot of things! The person is completely dead, what’s the use of doing all this! He can’t enjoy it, so why can’t he look at his other daughters more!”
Su Mingyue was furious and spoke without thinking, her words filled with resentment.
I thought that after some time, Marquis Anping would remember the suffering they had endured, and I could then play the victim to gain sympathy and get Marquis Anping to take me back and make amends. But as it turns out, this news did come!
I'm so angry!
Luo Xiaoniang's face was also dark at this moment. Could it be that the Marquis had really forgotten about her and her daughter?
They sent the mother and daughter to Beiyuan without arranging any follow-up work for them. Their life here is extremely difficult. They left in a hurry without taking anything with them, and they were not allowed to go back. But they still have to live!
I thought someone would come the next day, but no one has come!
It seems the Marquis's mansion has truly forgotten about them and doesn't remember that anyone still lives in the North Garden!
Later, they had to ask themselves. After waiting for a long time, someone was finally sent to help tidy up and provide some basic supplies. After that, no one came!
If they hadn't sneaked out at night, they probably would have starved to death in Beiyuan!
The people in the Marquis's mansion are so heartless! They just ignore them and leave them to fend for themselves!
They asked to move back, but were told it was impossible. They were always told to stop them by talking about feng shui, and there was nothing they could do!
The Marquis's mansion no longer explained what it was going to do to them, nor did it inform them in advance. They always found out about what was happening last!
Luo Xiaoniang frowned, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness. She had always thought she could strategize and control things, but now she realized that she had never controlled anything!
Without Geng Yuepeng's support, she is nothing!
He even lost his confidence when he spoke!
If Geng Yuepeng were here now, that would be wonderful!
I will definitely support her and give her a satisfactory result. Why do I need to consider everything myself?
She could live a carefree life even without the Marquis's attention, but not anymore!
She was like someone with broken wings, unable to fly anymore!
Looking at her daughter jumping up and down, Luo Xiaoniang sighed inwardly. It seemed that she wasn't as capable as she had imagined!
He hasn't even taught his daughter properly, look at how he's throwing a tantrum!
No matter how anxious or helpless I am, I can't show it too much. I need to comfort my daughter first!
Unfortunately, Su Mingyue refused to listen. "How can I stay calm! We're all Father's daughters, what's wrong with me? Madam has her family backing her up, but don't I have a godfather too? Why can't we be treated equally!"
Luo Xiaoniang quickly covered Su Mingyue's mouth and whispered, "Are you out of your mind! This place may seem safe, but it's not safe at all. People could be hiding everywhere. If someone overhears us and arouses their suspicion, we're doomed!"
Su Mingyue pushed Luo Xiaoniang's hand away, but she calmed down and didn't shout.
Her godfather is powerful, but that can't be brought up in public!
If people find out that they are getting too close to outsiders, they could be in big trouble!
This is not allowed!
"I'm still furious! Little sister, you've heard that the North Garden here is also going to have construction started, with the walls being built higher and wider, supposedly for safety reasons. I think it's targeting us! If they can repair the walls, why can't they fix this dilapidated house? When are we finally allowed to go back? They haven't given us any explanation!"
"Don't worry! Let me go ask!"
