When Chai Yiyun returned to her yard, she was full of smiles. After all, she had originally went with the intention of watching something amusing anyways. Although, she didn't expect that it would end up such a joke. In the end, just how did Su Qingyan dodge this farce.
She discovered that ever since Su Qingyan woken up, she was really unlike before. Her original timidly self seems to have gone and never returned, and what replaced her was a never before seen sharpness and ruthlessness. It seems her attitude towards granny Ruo has also dropped to the bottom. Although Chai Yiyun knew that the second house was paying off granny Ruo this whole time, how could have Su Qingyan known that granny Ruo has betrayed her?
But speaking of which, just how many of the people left at the Yingshuang residence were their spies? Aside from hers and the second house's spies there, all those concubines and other wives definitely must have set up spies there as well. But would Su Qingyan really find the opportunity to clean those people out of her yard?
"Madam, you don't need to think too much about it. After all, there's still the second house that's willing to take care of her in our place." The servant girl replied with a smile, after seeing Chai Yiyun's pondering appearance. "That little nun is no match for the second house after all."
"You're wrong." Chai Yiyun laid back on the long couch and reluctantly shook her head, "With that farce today, did you really think that Su Qingyan would leave it as it is? I keep feeling that she has changed, but as to where, I can't quite say."
"Madam, are you saying that the fourth miss has turned into another person for real?"
Chai Yiyun looked to her and still reluctantly shook her head. Truthfully speaking, even she didn't know how to explain this matter. But she had a strange sense of fear in her heart, the kind that comes from nowhere. Especially today, when Su Qingyan was aggressively driving Ning Siyao into a corner.
At that time, she didn't think that Ning Siyao was lose that badly. Moreover, she never expected that Su Qingyan would have won so easily.
"You go and find me the second young miss."
The servant girl followed Chai Yiyun's orders and quickly called over Su Qingwen. Although, the first thing she did was let Su Qingwen relay to her everything that had happened that day at school.
Su Qingwen told Chai Yiyun again what had happened that time, but in the end she still couldn't figure out how Wei Yun got poisoned. To poison someone under the public's eye, could Su Qingyan really have known witchcraft?
"Mother, what are you worried about?" Su Qingwen looked to Chai Yiyun worryingly and asked. "Fourth sister must have known witchcraft, else how could something like that have happened?"
"Wenwen, don't be ridiculous!" Chai Yiyun berated her, "If someone with ulterior motives hears that, we'll certainly be at an disadvantage."
Su Qingwen could only quickly retract her words. She didn't want to let Su Qingyuan get all the attention during the talent conference. Although, she did remember that during last year's talent conference, the one that made a fool of herself the most was Su Qingyan.
And she definitely was going to make a fool of herself this year too. After all, the one that gets humiliated the most every year was her.
"Wenwen, you don't need to worry about anything else, just prepare for the talent conference." Chai Yiyun said this as she affectionately stroked Qingwen's head. "The only thing you need to do now is to make yourself more beautiful, that way those men will fall at your feet."
Su Qingwen nodded as she listens to Chai Yiyun, "Your daughter understands."
After thinking for a moment, Chai Yiyun let Meixue send Su Qingwen back. Since this matter was already this messy, then she'll just go with the flow and let the wave come crashing down even harder. After all, she wasn't someone to be trifled with. Since Ning Siyao couldn't take care it, then she just had to take care of it herself.
But what method should she use, so that she could get rid of Deng Yan along with her. After all, Su Yan hasn't visited her yard in a long time. If she could have always hanged on to Su Yan, then what is there for her to worry about?
"Meixue, do you think the old madam will kick out the fourth girl, if I make this matter worse by adding fuel to the fire?" Chai Yiyun narrowed her eyes as she smiled at Meixue, "This way we can get rid of that other wench as well."
"Madam are you referring to Deng Yiniang?" Lanzhi asked as she saw Chai Yiyun smiling, "I remember that Deng Yiniang is quite good with witchcraft. It'll be perfect if we can get rid of both of them."
"Madam, Lanzhi is right. If we can kick both, Deng Yiniang and the fourth miss, out of the Su manor, then the master will be Madam's alone." Meixue replied also with a smile.
"That's right, if that's really the case, then I'll just have you take care of this matter. On the doll just write either the old madam's or Ning Siyao's name. I sure want to see how that girl is going to talk her way out of this one when the time comes!" As she said this, the corner of Chai Yiyun's lips curled into a soft smile.
"I'll go take care of it right away."
--------------------------------------
This matter was quickly relayed to Qingyan. The one that passed along the information was a green poisonous snake. That snake usually coiled itself around a ceiling beam in Chai Yiyun's room when it had nothing to do. But since it was good at concealing itself, no one ever noticed it. As soon as it heard the news, it immediately went to report it to Su Qingyan.
After all, Su Qingyan was their master now.
"Miss, what are you smiling about?" Zizhu noticed that ever since that snake left, Su Qingyan had been sitting there smiling to herself this whole time. She wondered if something good had happened.
"Zizhu, tonight, call Deng Yiniang over to my room, just say that I have something to discuss." Qingyan played with the teacup in hand as she continued to smile.
"Understood." With that said, Zizhu hurriedly left the room.
"Qingdai, Chishao, between the two of you, who is better at handiwork?" Su Qingyan called out to the two nearby.
Qingdai stood up first, "Miss, my craftsmanship skill is better, does miss have a request?"
As Qingyan waved to her, Qingdai walked over to her side. She whispered something in a small voice into Qingdai's ears. After hearing everything, Qingdai repeatedly nodded her head and set out on her task.
"Miss, why are you being so mysterious, just what in the world happened?" Baizhi, seeing Qingyan like that, couldn't help but to ask, "Perhaps miss is also going to keep it from us."
"Didn't I already say that we needed to clean out some people from our yard? Right now is the perfect time to clean them out!" Su Qingyan smiled as she said this. "Huangcen, head over to the slave broker tomorrow and buy a few orderly girls so we'll have them ready when the time comes. Remember, you need to pick girls that have a clean price, best if they have something they're good at. I don't want to raise any freeloaders in our yard. In case when the time comes they become a bunch of ingrates and betray us." She glanced out the window as she said this.
Although Baizhi, Huangcen, and Lue couldn't sense anyone outside, Chishao whose martial art skills were a bit better than them, had already sensed there was someone out there. Even if Qingyan didn't mention it, she knew that Qingyan had also noticed them too, that's why she'd said what she said.
"Miss, I'll head over to the slave broker tomorrow and find some girls with clean backgrounds." Huangcen said this as she confidently patted her chest, "I won't let miss be disappointed."
