Yi Yue took out a small cloth bag from her sleeve and placed it in front of Shi Anran, "On the way back, this servant still had some people check Lian Xing's background and what I originally thought was true. She didn't know that her mother was in Jian Jia's courtyard, so she should be someone that can be used."

There are a lot of things that I can only leave to Lian Xing and Liu Yue. If you have anything to do, it's pretty diligent and clever, and since you said it like that, then I should set my heart at rest. You've been tired for so long, so you should rest properly in these few days.

Hearing Shi Anran's words, Yi Yue did not refuse. She smiled and nodded, she had not had a good rest these few days and was extremely tired.

After receiving Shi Anran's gift box, the manager did not dare to be careless anymore, and started to take out all the money she had dug up into her pockets one by one to make up for it. If she did not make up anything, she would temporarily detain them, take them back whenever they were needed, and after a thorough cleaning, the villas and shops outside would be replaced with reliable people.

As for the ones that were devoured by the Third Concubine, she was confident that she would be able to make her spit it out.

Ever since Shi Anran took over control of the household, she was sent by the Emperor to the south to manage the locust plague. But before Shi Yu left, in order to prevent his daughter from having to struggle so much, he beat around the bush at the mansion and even temporarily sent Uncle Yang to Shi Anran.

However, Uncle Yang was still her father's trusted aide after all. Shi Anran did not use Uncle Yang to carry out many of his tasks.

After all, she was his own daughter. Before leaving, Shi Yu still brought Shi Anyi back from the temple, and even released the Third Concubine s along the way.

In this one month's time, the mother and daughter had also suffered enough, and both of them had lost a lot of weight. Shi Yu felt especially pained when he saw this, and from his own experience, he gave the mother and daughter a lot of supplements.

"Anran, your father will be out for a few days, and I don't know when this locust disaster will be cured, so I'm afraid that you might be exhausted if I pass the authority of the manor to your father. Since Third Concubine has some experience, let her help you out, don't be too tired."

Hearing Shi Yu's words, Shi Anran nodded, and looked at Shi Yu with a face full of worry, "Father, compared to home, being outside is better. You must take good care of yourself."

Shi Yu laughed and patted the back of Shi Anran's hand, signalling to her not to worry, and gave the Third Concubine and the rest a few words of advice. Shi Yu then walked out with large strides, and set a time to set a departure for the imperial court, it was not something he could defy.

After seeing Shi Yu walk far away, he thought about how he would no longer pretend to be the Third Concubine, who already had a falling out with his. He looked at Shi Anran with a smile that was not a smile, "Big Miss, you really have quite the might."

"What is Third Concubine saying, Anran is just helping Mother with her business, but Third Concubine, after thinking about it in the Ancestral Hall for so long, did she still not remember to teach her a lesson?" When Shi Anran heard her words, she did not get angry at all.

Hearing Shi Anran's words, the Third Concubine glared viciously at her before walking out.

"Miss, what do you plan to do with Third Concubine? What does old master want Third Concubine to continue helping you this time? "

After Third Concubine walked out, Shi Anran followed along with Yi Yue as they walked out. When they reached a place with no one around, Shi Anran finally opened her mouth and asked softly.

"Don't you have confidence now? Yi Yue, my father is too soft-hearted in the end. " Shi Anran let out a cold sigh.

Seeing Shi Anran's expression, Yi Yue couldn't help but remind her, "Miss, since the old master is soft-hearted, we can't give him this chance."

"I know, she caused me so much trouble, how could I let her go? Yi Yue, isn't there a girl called Shen Hong in Jian Jia Courtyard? "

"Mn, she was Third Concubine's trusted aide before. I don't know why, but Third Concubine alienated her a lot."

Hearing Yi Yue's words, Shi Anran laughed, "Third Concubine is restricted to the ancestral hall. Shen Hong is injured, and it is not light at all."

With that, Shi Anran turned and looked at Yi Yue with a smile that was like a flower.

Yi Yue was shocked by her rare smile and was startled.

"Say, Yi Yue, is this considered as the chance the heavens have given me? If I don't use this kind of person, who should I use? "

Hearing Shi Anran's words, Yi Yue laughed, "Miss is right, I was wrong just now."

After returning to the Agarwood Courtyard, Shi Anran instructed Lian Xing. She gave some useless and tiring jobs to Third Concubine. As for the work on Shen Hong, Shi Anran believed that she would do it well.

Nearly a month had passed and Yi Yue had not made any movements, so Shi Anran was not in a hurry either. She knew of Yi Yue's abilities, so she was naturally not worried that she would ruin everything.

"Yi Yue, why is the courtyard outside so chaotic? What happened? " That night, in the middle of the night, Shi Anran heard someone making a ruckus in the courtyard, and the sound was also becoming louder and louder.

The doubt in her heart grew bigger, so Shi Anran could only put on a set of clothes and walked out.

In the end, before she could even reach the door, Lian Xing saw Shi Anran's room lighting up, knocking on the door and jogging in. There was a bit of excitement on her face, but also a bit of excitement.

"Lian Xing, what's going on?"

Lian Xing repressed the excitement on her face, "Miss, the servants and Liu Yue found out that Shen Hong was stealing from Third Concubine's side. A few trustworthy lass have gathered there, let's see how she will escape this time. "

"Yes." Hearing that, Shi Anran nodded her head in praise, "Come, let's go take a look too."

Lian Xing helped Shi Anran dress herself slightly, and the master and the servant then walked out one after another.

Although this method wasn't very honorable, he just needed to remember what happened in his previous life. How could Shen Hong help the evil? And Shi Anyi and her daughter. Shi Anran's heart instantly turned cold when he was bullying her.

"What's going on?" When Shi Anran just entered the front hall of the Agarwood Courtyard, she saw Shen Hong and a chef in her courtyard. She knelt on the ground, her clothes in disarray, surrounded by a circle of people pointing fingers at him.

"Miss, this is Shen Hong from Third Concubine's courtyard. Just now, this servant couldn't fall asleep, so I got up to stroll in the courtyard. Then I heard a sound coming from the courtyard, so I followed the sound and looked around.

She didn't finish the rest of her sentence, but as long as she had eyes, she would know what had happened.

Hearing that, Shi Anran's face immediately darkened, "Since Shen Hong is from Third Concubine's courtyard, Liu Yue, then go to Jian Jia Yuan and invite Third Concubine over."

Just as she finished speaking, Shen Hong pounced on her while crying: "Young miss, this servant knows my wrongs! Please don't tell Third Concubine, I beg of you, this servant knows her wrongs! I won't dare to do it again, I beg you! "

As Shen Hong cried, she knocked her forehead against the ground with all her might. Not long after, the ground was dyed with a layer of blood.

Seeing her painstakingly begging, Shi Anran did not say a word. She only waved her hands when she felt that it was about time.

All of the girls in the room walked out, leaving only Yi Yue and Lian Xing, as well as Shen Hong who was kneeling on the ground.

Liu Yue detected that Shi Anran was giving her a meaningful glance, and immediately walked over with Lian Xing to forcefully hold her back, not allowing her to continue knocking on the door.
