Chapter 69 Completed
As time went by, some people soon fainted from exhaustion. Xia Yanjing heard the sound of people falling to the ground one after another, and said without looking up, "With so little physical strength, how can you serve the master well? Sell them all out."
"Yes, sir." Ye Zi responded respectfully, and was full of admiration for Xia Yanjing in his heart. Why didn't they think of using this method? Now there are only five people left, and it must not be a difficult task for the sir.
The remaining five people stood in place. Although the sun was shining brightly, they felt as if they were falling into an icy cave. At this point, how could they not understand that Xia Yanjing was coming for them?
After resting for a while, Xia Yanjing slowly stood up from his seat, first gently moved his shoulders, and then slowly stretched his arms.
Then, he walked down the stairs slowly and leisurely, each step seeming so calm and unhurried.
When he walked down the stage, his eyes fell on the five servants who were still standing there. At this time, the five servants seemed a little restrained. They stood straight, afraid that they would be picked on by Xia Yanjing, and dared not move.
"You guys are so ugly. It makes me feel bad just looking at you. You're such an eyesore. Drag them all away." Xia Yanjing turned around and said lazily. After completing the task, Xia Yanjing returned to the room.
Ye Zi followed closely behind. After entering, Ye Zi couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth at all, and couldn't help but praise, "Master, you are too amazing. I really admire you."
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, are all those spies here?"
"Master, they are all here. The rest are people brought here by the Sheng Mansion. They are all the family children of the Sheng Mansion, as well as those bought by Butler Wu. We have also sent people to investigate those we bought. They all couldn't survive the war, so they sold themselves to find a way to survive."
"Check it one last time. The ones you buy will be kept in the outer courtyard, and the ones brought by the Sheng Mansion will be kept in the inner courtyard. The guards must also increase patrols every day." Xia Yanjing instructed.
"Yes, sir." Ye Zi felt that Xia Yanjing was not only smart, but also very careful.
"Gather everyone in the evening. I have something to say." Xia Yanjing felt that a mobilization meeting was needed at this time to brainwash the employees.
"Yes." Although Ye Zi didn't know what Xia Yanjing was going to do, he just did it.
"There's nothing else to do, go ahead and get busy." Xia Yanjing knew that he would have to personally keep an eye on the group of spies selling leaves.
"Yes, master." Ye Zi now had already fully recognized Xia Yanjing in his heart. Although Xia Yanjing was only a bastard, as long as the young master liked him and cared about him, he would be the best master.
After Ye Zi left, Xia Yanjing got up and went to look for Shi Tou. Shi Tou must have missed him after not seeing him for so long.
When Xia Yanjing walked into Shitou's room, he saw Shitou packing his bag. Xia Yanjing quickly held Shitou's hand and asked, "Shitou, what are you doing?"
"Master, I'm packing my things." Shi Tou said somewhat sadly.
"Why are you packing up? Where are you going?" Xia Yanjing was a little confused.
"I'm going to move into the young master's yard. My injuries have healed, and I think the young master has completely forgotten about me."
"No way, you see, I came to see you, and besides, I just want you to have more rest." Xia Yanjing felt a little guilty. It seemed that he really had forgotten his younger brother because he had a wife.
"Anyway, I'm going to move over there to take care of you and the head of the family. If you don't agree, I'll go back to the Yongning Marquis Mansion." Shi Tou said somewhat aggrievedly.
"Okay, okay, let's go now." Xia Yanjing was a little shocked, and then helped Shi Tou pack up. Is there anyone else who wants to rush to work?
"Okay." Shi Tou was already very happy when he saw Xia Yanjing coming to find him.
After helping Shitou settle down, Xia Yanjing thought that it had been a long time since he went back to see his father, and he didn't know how his father was doing in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Shi Tou, let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion this afternoon to take a look." Xia Yanjing was a little worried about Hong Xi.
"Yes." Shitou responded happily. He was willing to go anywhere as long as he followed the young master.
"Ye Zi, I'm going to the Yongning Marquis Mansion. I'll be back for dinner." Xia Yanjing called Ye Zi and reminded her, mainly because he was worried that Shengxia wouldn't be able to find him when she came back.
"Yes, sir." Ye Zi replied respectfully.
Xia Yanjing specifically asked Ye Zi to arrange six guards for him to support him, because he was prepared for the worst.
The two families were not far from each other, and they soon arrived at the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. When the guard at the door saw Xia Yanjing, he hurried in to inform the Yongning Marquis alone.
When the Marquis of Yongning learned about this, he asked, "Has General Sheng come?"
The guard replied respectfully, "Sir, we haven't seen General Sheng."
"Okay, you can go down." After knowing this, Marquis Yongning waved his hand and asked the guard to leave.
“Since Shengxia hasn’t come yet, there’s no need for him to welcome Xia Yanjing.” Yongning Hou thought to himself.
Although Xia Yanjing was reluctant, he still went to see Marquis Yongning obediently. After all, the original owner's father was still here. He could just pat his butt and leave, but Hong Xi actually lived here.
In addition, he sold so many servants and waiters this afternoon, which made Xia Yanjing more deeply aware of the strict hierarchy between people. He is already an adult and is no longer a young boy who acts on impulse.
"Father." Xia Yanjing came in front of Xia Zhiyong and called out respectfully.
"Okay, how are you doing in the general's mansion?" Marquis Yongning asked as usual.
"Very good." Xia Yanjing didn't want to say anything more and just dealt with it.
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a moment, and then Marquis Yongning asked, "Is there something that brought you back this time?" Marquis Yongning already suspected that Xia Yanjing had suffered some grievances in Sheng Mansion and came back to seek his support.
"I missed my dad, so I came back to see him." Xia Yanjing told the truth. After all, when he said he came back to see Xia Zhiyong, Xia Zhiyong probably wouldn't believe it.
"Okay, go ahead." Xia Zhiyong didn't want to chat with Xia Yanjing any longer. He was afraid that Xia Yanjing would ask him for help.
"Yes, father." Xia Yanjing responded respectfully, then left the main courtyard and walked towards his father's courtyard.
When Xia Yanjing walked to the gate of Hongqi's yard, he saw three young servants sitting together, cracking melon seeds and chatting. At this time, Xiaozhu's voice came from the house, asking someone to prepare some tea, but the three people in front of him were unmoved and continued chatting happily, as if they didn't hear anything.
"Are you three deaf?" Xiaozhu waited for a long time but no one came in to add water. She walked out of the room angrily and shouted loudly.
