After guessing for a long time, Lin Mengya still couldn't find the final answer.
"Thank you, thank you."
Night nodded and disappeared from Lin Mengya's sight.
Lin Mengya thought for a whole night, but still couldn't figure out why Concubine De treated her like this.
The next morning, before she got up, Lin Mengya heard a noise in the courtyard.
It seemed that Baishao was scolding someone. She was always so fierce.
"Master, Master, you're awake? Do you want to have a rest? It's still early. "
Baiji, who sensed that Lin Mengya had woken up, immediately lifted the curtain and walked in.
However, the unnatural smile on his face did not escape Lin Mengya's eyes.
"What's going on outside?"
Baiji, who wanted to say something, finally shook her head. But under Lin Mengya's gaze, she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.
"It's, it's an old maid from the outer courtyard. I don't know why she spoke rudely to Master. Baisu was so angry that she quarreled with her. "
An old maid from the outer courtyard? She usually used both carrot and stick, so both the inner and outer courtyards were obedient and courteous to her.
But what was going on today? How could an old maid from the outer courtyard quarrel with Baishao?
"Help me out and have a look."
Although Baishao was fierce, she was not a person who pestered others endlessly.
"Master, let's forget about it. This is a matter between the servants. It's not worth it to disturb your peace."
Without hesitation, Baiji stopped Lin Mengya from leaving.
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes slightly, but she was more determined to go out and have a look.
Seeing that she couldn't stop them, Baiji just hoped that the fight outside would end quickly.
"Humph, Prince Yu's Mansion is full of demonic aura. Miss Baishao, you're young, so you don't understand this. This master is famous in the Capital City. I had good intentions and spent a lot of effort to invite Master over. Now you're blocking my way. Isn't it a little unreasonable? "
As soon as she went out, she heard a strange old maid's voice.
Although Baishao was facing her, she put her hands on the door of Liuxin Courtyard and didn't step back.
"Bullsh * t! Our Liuxin Courtyard is a place blessed with outstanding people. How can we have the demonic aura that you, evil slave, are talking about? And you, you old bald donkey, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart first! "
No one would have thought that a little girl would be so skilled in scolding people.
After a round of scolding, the old maid and the so-called master couldn't do anything to her.
"Miss, if you are so unreasonable, then don't blame me for being impolite. Men, drag this hoof away! "
The old maid outside was a little angry out of shame. She even dared to fight.
Lin Mengya sneered. It had been a long time since someone dared to touch her people in the mansion.
"If anyone dares to step into the Liuxin Courtyard today, I'll break their legs and throw them out."
Her cold voice was filled with killing intent.
Lin Mengya's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Outside, there were a lot of old maids and maids bustling about.
From the looks of it, they weren't here to capture a demon. They were clearly here to raid the house.
The leading old maid looked unfamiliar. She didn't look like someone who was used to working in the mansion.
Beside her was a bald monk in a red cassock, who was particularly conspicuous.
However, this monk had a ferocious face and didn't look merciful at all.
Moreover, after seeing the four maids in the Liuxin Courtyard, a pair of wretched eyes kept lingering on their slender waists. Obviously, he was a lewd thief.
"Oh, it's all Baishao's fault. How dare you disturb the princess. It's my fault. I pay my respects to the princess. May the prince's mansion bless you. "
As soon as the old maid saw Lin Mengya, she immediately learned to be obedient.
Not only did she pay her respects to Baisu, but she also put the blame on her.
However, Lin Mengya didn't seem to be smiling.
She was so cold that even they felt a little scared.
"Where did you come from? Don't you know the rules of the prince's mansion?"
After all, Lin Mengya was the hostess of the prince's mansion. As soon as she appeared, those people immediately quieted down.
However, this old maid had just been promoted to the prince's mansion from the outer courtyard. Naturally, she didn't know Lin Mengya's temper in the past.
"I just came in from the outer courtyard, but I'm just following orders. It's Concubine De who said that the mansion is not clean, so she asked me to invite a master here. "
Lin Mengya slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at the old bald donkey.
Although Concubine De was a vegetarian and prayed to the Buddha, she was not a superstitious person.
In fact, Concubine De just wanted to hide her real purpose.
Now she actually found someone to exorcise the evil, and she even found such a strange old maid.
Suddenly, Lin Mengya's mind was full of questions.
"According to the rules of the inner courtyard, no one can enter without the permission of the master. Not to mention you, even Steward Deng doesn't have such great power. "
Baiji stood in front of Lin Mengya and said softly.
Now, she was in charge of all the people in the inner courtyard, just like the housekeeper of the inner courtyard.
Therefore, those who worked in the inner courtyard didn't dare to contradict her.
Now, it was Baiji who distributed the money.
These people depended on the money to support their families. Offending Baiji was equivalent to cutting off the source of money for their families.
"But I'm following Concubine De's order. In this mansion, is Concubine De or Princess Yu more powerful? "
The old maid had a lot of backing, and her words were also sharp.
Lin Mengya looked at her, but there was a trace of a smile hanging on her lips.
Dared to make trouble in her courtyard, it was really something new.
"Well, since you're following Concubine De's order, I can't stop you. But there are many rules in my Liuxin Courtyard, and it's grand. If you come in, you'd better abide by the rules in my courtyard, otherwise, even Concubine De can't protect you. "
Lin Mengya said slowly, and there was a little coldness in her tone.
Seeing that Lin Mengya had spoken, the maidservants stopped talking.
The old maid was very proud. It was said that Princess Yu was difficult to deal with, but now, with Concubine De's order, Princess Yu had to be obedient.
"Don't worry, Princess Yu. I'm also a person with rules, and I won't break your rules."
"Okay, then please."
Lin Mengya turned around and walked into the courtyard, which made the onlookers outside confused.
Was this still the Princess Yu they knew?
Sitting in the room, Baiji was combing Lin Mengya's hair.
She went out in a hurry just now, so her hair was casually scattered behind her head.
Lin Mengya looked at the monk through the water chestnut flower window, and began to bluff and point at him.
She took a wooden comb beside her, and gently combed her hair hanging over her shoulders.
"Master, Qinghu said that he's ready, and we're just waiting for them to shoot themselves in the foot."
Baiji said lightly, as if she was ready to see those people get into trouble.
"Well, let him do whatever he wants. It's fine as long as he doesn't kill anyone. Guards, close the door. No one is allowed to open it without my order. "
"Yes."
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the four maidservants went into the main room of Liuxin Courtyard, as if they were angry.
The old maid was a little proud, and showed the monk around.
The rooms were also for the maidservants in the courtyard. Because the master was rich, the furnishings in the rooms were more expensive.
In particular, the rooms of the four maidservants were even more exquisite than those of the young ladies of ordinary families.
At that moment, a touch of hot greed leaped into the eyes of the old maid.
"It's true. This Liuxin Courtyard is indeed the most magnificent place in Prince Yu's Mansion."
Her hand unconsciously touched the blue and white vase in Baiji's room.
She was thinking about how to occupy these things.
"Master, why don't you start the ritual in this room?"
The old maid gave the monk a look, and he immediately understood.
The monk put his palms together and said pretentiously,
"Liuxin Courtyard is Yin, so the Yin Qi in this courtyard is too strong. Come on, move all the things in these rooms out, and let them be exposed to the sun, so that they can be exposed to the Yang Qi."
Several strong old maids scrambled to move the things out of the maidservants' rooms without saying anything.
Even those brocade blankets were not spared.
Soon, the courtyard was full of things.
The leading old maid and the monk laughed from ear to ear.
If these things were taken by them, they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the whole year.
"Amitabha. This Penniless Monk has checked these items. They are indeed tainted with an evil aura. I'm afraid that it's not as simple as being contaminated with Yang Qi. "
The monk's singing and chanting were excellent, and the old maid immediately understood what he meant. At that moment, she said a little loudly,
"Master Yi, how should we deal with these things?"
The monk chanted the name of Buddha again and said,
"Why don't you move them to my place, so that they can be illuminated by the Buddha's light and drive away the evil?"
If they really moved to the monk's residence, they would probably become a pile of rags.
However, the main room was still quiet and there was not the slightest movement.
Therefore, the old maid became a little bolder.
"Come on, move all these away."
The old maid, who was overjoyed, moved a blue and white porcelain bottle by herself. She planned to send it directly to the pawnshop, so that she could have some wine.
But just as she was thinking about it, the bottle in her arms suddenly exploded.
With a "bang", the bottle broke into pieces.
The old maid dodged in time, so her face was not cut by the pieces.
"Oh, my official kiln bottle, it's worth five taels of silver!"
Finally, Baizhi's surprised and playful voice came from inside.
However, no matter how one listened to it, there was a hint of gloating in that voice.
"It doesn't matter. They are working for Concubine De. If they accidentally break our things, they have to compensate us according to the price, right?"
Baishao's voice sounded again, and everyone could hear the teasing in her words.
The old maid was stunned and looked at her hands in disbelief.
