Shi Anran rubbed her eyes. Father, this time, your daughter will not disappoint you.

Opening the door, looking at the Third Concubine outside who had lost control, Shi Yu frowned, "Are there any more rules?"

Hearing his voice, the Third Concubine quietened down and adjusted the clothes on his body. "Master, it was this dog slave who stopped me from …"

"Enough," Before she could even speak, she was interrupted by Shi Yu. She impatiently frowned, "This is my decision, why do you still have to decide in the future?"

Sensing the coldness in Shi Yu's words, Third Concubine could not help but shiver, she retracted the insolence in her body, "Old master, I do not mean it that way."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, then leave. In the future, don't come to the academy even if you have nothing else to do. Remember your own identity. Don't force me to do anything that would make me lose my mind."

After saying that, Shi Yu turned around and was about to walk inside, when Third Concubine quickly pulled on the corner of his clothes and spoke with a dismal tone.

Before she finished speaking, Shi Yu ignored her and walked into the study.

Looking at the door that was slowly closing before his eyes, a hint of madness flashed past Third Concubine's eyes. His nails dug deep into his palms but he did not feel it.

Seeing her like this, Wang Yuan suddenly felt a cold Qi emerging from the bottom of his feet, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

"Dad, why are you back so soon?" Seeing that she returned so quickly, Shi Anran was a little surprised, but she heard all of his rebuke at the door.

Shi Yu smiled as he walked in front of Shi Anran, "I never thought that Anran was also a lazy lass. Father had only been gone for a short while, and he was already lying on the table.

Hearing Shi Yu's teasing, Shi Anran blushed and shook her head, the bashfulness of her daughter was undoubtedly exposed.

"You're tired?" Seeing Shi Anran turn her head and yawn, Shi Yu thought that she had not slept well in the afternoon.

Slightly shaking her head, Shi Anran walked forward and wrapped her arms around Shi Yu's, "No, it's just that father has been out for a while, and daughter feels bored, why not … We'll go for a walk in the backyard, and we'll have dinner when we get back. "

"Mm, that's fine too."

When the father and daughter pair pushed the door and left, not long after Third Concubine left, Wang Yuan was still standing in the courtyard, somewhat stunned.

Seeing Shi Anran and the others come out, they opened their mouths a few times as if they had something to say, but in the end, they swallowed their words.

However, Shi Anran did not see all of this. She thought to ask either Yi Yue or Liu Yue if they were to come over tomorrow to find out what exactly happened.

"Anran, what's wrong?" When Shi Yu saw her in a daze, he thought something was wrong and couldn't help but call out to her.

With Shi Yu's voice calming her mind, Shi Anran smiled and shook her head, "Your daughter was just thinking about what to eat tonight. I'm a little hungry." As she spoke, she even rubbed her stomach.

Seeing her cute and playful look, Shi Yu laughed out loud, "Alright, alright, if you want to eat something, just tell Uncle Yang, how can you cut Anran's time?"

Hearing Shi Yu's words, Anran smiled and nodded, "Thank you father, let's go out for a stroll."

Wang Yuan stood in place, and looked at the backs of the father and daughter pair with a strange expression in his eyes.

After eating dinner, Yi Yue and Liu Yue immediately came over as if they had a telepathic connection with her.

On the way back, Shi Yu was not by his side, and Shi Anran was too lazy to act naive. He would frown from time to time, and kept thinking about why Third Concubine had come this afternoon.

After returning to the Agarwood Courtyard, Shi Anran sent all the girls out of the room, leaving only Yi Yue and Liu Yue behind.

"Miss, what happened to you tonight? Liu Yue couldn't hold back the words in her heart. When there were only the three of them left in the room, she immediately asked.

Shi Anran was not in a hurry to answer, seeing that Liu Yue was frowning, she finally opened her mouth: "Liu Yue, tomorrow you go find Wang Yuan and ask him what happened this afternoon when Third Concubine was going to the front courtyard."

Hearing this, Liu Yue nodded, and said angrily, "This servant knows that every time Miss has a heavy load on her mind, it's always because of Third Concubine."

Seeing her indignant look, Shi Anran laughed, "I'm only suspecting that it might have something to do with the Third Concubine."

Seeing her like this, Shi Anran smiled and said, "It's fine, it's just that when I'm going out for a stroll with Father this afternoon, I somehow felt that Wang Yuan had something to say to me, but I'm not sure either. I'll let Liu Yue go scout tomorrow, we'll talk about it later."

Hearing her words, Yi Yue nodded her head, she did not say anything, but her expression turned serious, and the movements of his hands in brushing her hair did not slow down at all.

"Miss, I still haven't found any clues about that cook in Jian Jia Yuan. However, Third Concubine has protected her too well, which actually made me feel like there was something fishy about it."

"Indeed, even if she went overboard, she wouldn't make it in time. However, Third Concubine probably didn't expect that I would have already detected her. Otherwise, based on her vigilant look, she definitely wouldn't have acted this way." Looking at the him in the mirror, Shi Anran slightly curled the corner of her lips. This must be because the heavens couldn't compare to the mother and daughter pair who had done all sorts of evil deeds, which allowed her to live a lifetime and reveal their true identities.

Shi Anran raised her hand to stop Yi Yue from continuing to comb her hair, and Shi Anran took a comb from the side. She moved his hair to the side, tilted her head, and combed it a few times, "Right now, the manor is not very peaceful, and many people are the Third Concubine's henchmen. I also want to comb this manor into my own people, but I still lack a comb."

"This servant and this servant shall be the young miss's allegiance." Yi Yue and Liu Yue lowered their heads at the same time and said in a low voice.

Shi Anran was slightly moved as she put down the comb in her hands. She stood up and held both of their hands, "Since you two can say this, I will also do my best to protect your safety."

Just when the three of them were hugging and opening their hearts, Jian Jia's yard was filled with chaos.

Looking at the group of little girls kneeling on the ground, Third Concubine's face was filled with a dark fierceness. "Speak, who told you to do this?"

The girls just kept shaking their heads, crying until they were out of breath.

"Third Concubine, this servant was truly wronged!" Kneeling in the middle was a rather devilish looking girl, crying as she pleaded for mercy. Her slightly raised face looked especially pitiful as there were a few drops of tears on it.

But it was precisely her words' Third Concubine 'that stepped into the forbidden area, causing a shocking killing intent to burst out from Third Concubine's face, "Shen Hong, drag this brat who doesn't know when to stop, beat her until she admits defeat!"

Hearing Third Concubine's orders, Shen Hong nodded her head, and without batting an eye, she ordered a few servants to drag this girl out. Not long later, the sound of the little girl's screams and the sound of the wooden stick hitting her body rang from outside, and even the few girls kneeling below could not help but shiver.

After a while, the Third Concubine felt that the deterrence effect had been achieved, and felt that it had also become noisy. She got someone to stop the little girl from talking, and after a while, someone came in and said that she was breathless.
