Chapter 33 - Lowering of Attitude

"What thousand taels?"

The Prime Minister was in disbelief. He knew that the expenses of the estate were enormous, but he had never expected so little.

"Yes, master. What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? "Add in the one thousand silver and send it along with the room deed to Eldest Miss." The Prime Minister rubbed his nose in exhaustion, feeling incomparably exhausted.

"Yes, this humble one will do it right away." The butler bowed and left the study, but before he could leave the room, he was called out to by the prime minister.

"After you give her the items, send someone to take her back to her hometown."

The steward was taken aback. What did Master mean? Should he send someone to protect the young miss, or kill … Did he kill her?

Because he couldn't figure out the prime minister's intentions, the butler thought for a moment and felt that it would be better to ask more. If he made a mistake, then the consequences would not be something he could bear.

"Old master, may I ask if you're going to protect Eldest Miss, or …" At this point, he could not bring himself to ask anymore, so he raised his hand and made a gesture with his neck.

Bang! The Prime Minister's expression was cold as he said, "Of course I'm protecting him. Mother Tiger isn't eating him. In your eyes, am I worse than a tiger?"

"So you mean, protect the big miss and go back?" The butler asked again.

"No matter what, she is still my daughter." The prime minister glared fiercely at the butler before thinking of something and sighing softly, "I owe her in the end all these years. Now that she's leaving the house, I really don't feel good about it."

If it wasn't for the fact that he knew of the relationship between him and Mo Xiyan and that it was impossible to restore, he might have really persuaded her to stay.

But now, she could just drop the matter and return to her old home.

"Yes, this humble one understands. I will definitely find a capable person to send Eldest Miss back." The butler did not say anything else. After bowing to the prime minister, he turned around and left.

He first went to the accounting office to retrieve a thousand taels of silver, then headed towards Mo Xiyan's courtyard.

"Hey, butler, wait for me."

When he reached the back garden, the voice of the Li mama came from behind.

The butler turned around doubtfully. "What's the matter, Li mama?"

"I heard that Eldest Miss is leaving?" Li mama ran over to the butler, after taking a breath, he smiled and said.

"Why are you asking about this?" The butler frowned and looked at Li mama. "It's enough to take care of my own matters. I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you."

With that, he directly passed the Li mama and took large strides.

"Yo, I have serious business too." Li mama quickly followed, with a smile on her face, "Isn't this my main business, the Madam wants me to follow Eldest Miss back to her house."

"What?" You'll go with me? " The steward stopped and looked at her in shock. "Madame sent you?"

Although Shen Hongqin was now carrying the title of Madam, the butler knew very well that in the eyes of the Old Master, she was already a dead person. Even today, the Old Master had already passed the accounts to the Third Madame.

"Butler, what's with that expression of yours? Although Madam has been grounded, Master hasn't taken care of her for a day, so she's not the Madam of the mansion. Why can't she even make decisions for such a small matter?"

The Li mama laughed sinisterly, then said with disdain, "Besides, I won't obstruct you at all. I just want to follow you guys for a walk, that's all. You're meddling in other people's business."

The butler had to admit that the Li mama was right. The Madam was still the Madam and the Master did not rest, but according to the favor he had given her before, it was indeed possible for him to regain her favor.

As for this matter, it was just as Li mama had said. He only needed to send someone to send the First Miss back, and as for the other Li mama s, what she would do to the Eldest Miss after serving her services, it had nothing to do with him.

The butler nodded after thinking for a while, "Alright, then follow me."

The two of them quickly arrived at Mo Xiyan's small courtyard. Seeing the dilapidated state, the butler sighed lightly in his heart.

When Madam was here in the past, she was indeed too unkind to Eldest Miss. Look at this courtyard, even the servants here lived better than here.

The Li mama snorted, "Let's go, I'm afraid the young miss is anxious from waiting."

Having said so, she did not wait for the butler and walked directly into the courtyard. The butler followed closely behind her.

When they saw Mo Xiyan, she was sitting under the eave, boiling tea and eating small bits of tea, looking extremely comfortable.

The Li mama looked at her gloomily, and said with a taunting tone, "Young miss, the Madam has been treating you quite well. When I heard that you were leaving this time, I was worried that you might not eat well on the way, so I sent the old granny to take care of you."

She then pointed to the butler, "The items that you wanted have been delivered by the butler. You can go through them now."

The butler glanced at her, then stepped forward to Mo Xiyan and passed her the list of the house deeds and dowry.

"Eldest Miss, everything you want is here."

As he spoke, he took out a note worth a thousand taels of silver and placed it on top of the contract. "This thousand taels is the amount of money needed to make up the dowry. Young Miss can properly count it."

Mo Xiyan indifferently put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at the butler: "Put it down, I still believe in your matters."

Saying that, her gaze once again turned to Li mama's side, and she coldly said, "Madam wants you to take care of me? I'm afraid you don't want my soul to go to heaven? "

Li mama guiltily wiped the sweat on his forehead. He only felt that the pressure in front of Mo Xiyan was even greater than before.

She had never felt such pressure from Madame Prime Minister before. Since when did Eldest Miss become such a powerful person? And she had to follow her to the old house? I wonder if she will be able to complete Madam's mission on this journey?

Thinking up to here, her expression couldn't help but stiffen as she smiled and said, "How could I? Eldest young miss is overthinking things. Madam really sent me to take care of you."

"Oh, really? "Then I really must thank the Madam properly." Mo Xiyan laughed coldly again and again. Although her movements were not big, the aura around her body had increased exponentially, pressuring the others to the point that they couldn't breathe.

"No need, no need. Madam said that this is what she should do." Li mama lowered his posture and continued to smile.

The corner of Mo Xiyan's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the butler with a smile that was yet not a smile, "Help me thank Father when you go back, and I will take these things. We won't see each other again in the future."

Facing Mo Xiyan who was like this, the butler was also bold in his heart. He had never fought face to face with Mo Xiyan before, and this was the first time he felt the pressure that she gave him.

This young miss was not simple, and the pressure she brought was almost on par with the Prime Minister. No, no, it was likely to be even more terrifying than the Prime Minister.

A young miss with such strength had actually revealed a transparent person in the residence? So she had been hiding her strength all along, waiting for today's counterattack?

In this way, she was truly too terrifying.

And for such a terrifying young miss to actually send a useless person like Li mama to find fault, who knows how she would end up dying?

Thinking of this, the butler lowered his posture once again, and said with a respectful tone, "I will definitely be what Eldest Miss said."

Speaking to that, the butler purposely paused for a moment before continuing, "Are the young miss's luggage ready? Do you need me to help you? "
