For the servants of Ning Wang Fu, today was a very normal day.
Every day, wang fei would sit in the garden for a while. The gardeners who had worked in the fu for their entire lives would use scissors to trim the flowers and plants every morning. Wang fei liked cleanliness. The places she frequented would be cleaned almost every day. The servants had their own duties and were busy at their own positions.
When a well-dressed and valiant-looking man walked by, he attracted the attention of the maids in the Prince's Mansion.
"It's Bodyguard Lin … …"
The faces of the servant girls showed admiration. Their eyes stared at the disappearing figure of the man and they started to whisper.
"Hey, did you guys notice that when Bodyguard Lin walked by, he looked at me a bit more."
"Shoo shoo shoo, Bodyguard Lin was clearly looking at me."
"Peh, you two aren't ashamed. Bodyguard Lin's eyes wouldn't be that bad … …"
… …
… …
As the servant girls talked, they started to tease and push each other. The servants nearby swallowed their saliva.
"Isn't he just the leader of the guards? No matter how strong he is, isn't he still a servant like us?"
Thinking about the way the servant girls looked at that man, they didn't feel good. They were all servants, but wasn't that Lin just a bit more handsome, a bit more skilled, and was more favored by wang ye?
What was so great about that … …
That group of servant girls that only knew how to judge people by their appearance was really vulgar. Last night, when a servant woke up, he saw that guy and a group of people coming back in the middle of the night. They were very sneaky and didn't seem to have done anything good. If there was a chance, he had to remind them. You might know a person's face but not their heart. They shouldn't be fooled by a few words from that Lin … …
The man surnamed Lin naturally didn't know what the servant girls and servants were thinking as he walked with large strides towards wang ye's study.
Wang ye loved books to the point that he was crazy. There were only two study rooms in the fu and they were filled with all kinds of valuable books. If wang ye wasn't accompanying wang fei every day, there was a ninety percent chance that he would be in the study room.
When he reached the door of the study room, there was naturally an old housekeeper who went in to report. A moment later, the old housekeeper came out of the study. After nodding to him, the man surnamed Lin pushed open the door and walked in.
"Wang ye."
He respectfully bowed to the middle-aged man across the desk and waited at the side.
"Why did Xuan 'er send you out last night?" After waiting for a while, King Ning's voice sounded.
"Your Highness, it's because …" He didn't dare to hide anything from his Highness and told him everything.
"Before we arrived there, the conflict had already ended. The princess's people were also there and asked us to come back directly. However, I heard that County Magistrate Li and the others were unharmed, and those Greenwood bandits were all killed. As for what happened last night, I don't know."
Yesterday, before they arrived at the Willow Leaf Village, they were driven back by the princess's people. That was all they knew.
"What? There's actually such a thing?" Prince Ning was slightly stunned when he heard this. He then realized that the reason why Li Yi came to the wang fu to see him yesterday was because of this matter.
If he had known in advance, he wouldn't have rejected him like that, but it was too late now.
However, with the masters brought by MIngzhu from the palace, those Greenwood bandits wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
The guard leader wanted to tell him about the white light and the loud noise he saw, but on the way back, some brothers said it was an earthquake, some said it was haunted, and some even said it was a divine punishment. At this moment, he really didn't know what to say. In order to avoid saying something wrong, he simply kept his mouth shut.
Prince Ning called him here was nothing more than to know what Li Xuan had done. As for Li Yi, it would be best if nothing happened to him. If something happened to him, he would only feel sorry for a moment, and maybe he would completely forget about it tomorrow.
After all, these ordinary people didn't matter to him.
He waved his hand, indicating that the guard could go out.
"Excuse me." The guard surnamed Lin bowed and left the room.
Prince Ning shook his head and put this matter behind him. He once again focused on the book in front of him.
…
…
Within a day, the dozens of families in Willow Leaf Village left only a dozen families. It didn't take Li Yi much effort to persuade them, and almost all of them agreed to move to the prefecture.
He didn't even persuade them. He just mentioned it, and they readily agreed.
They had lived in a place for a lifetime, so of course they had feelings. However, the village was too remote, and it was inconvenient to come and go. Almost all of these people had been working for Li Yi since the beginning, so they didn't leave at the critical moment. After selling candied fruits for so long, Ruyi Lu also got dividends, so they had accumulated a lot of money at home. Their thoughts that they didn't have before gradually became active.
Living in the prefecture had many conveniences. Moreover, they didn't need to spend money to move, and someone would naturally arrange for them. This kind of good thing was rare.
"Hehe, son-in-law, if you want us to move, we will move." Fang became simple and honest again. His experience in the past few months told him that it was not wrong to listen to the son-in-law.
As for the others, they only knew that if they followed in Fang's footsteps, they would have food to eat, money to earn, and a new house to live in …
Although this was not the capital city, it was very easy for the princess to settle more than ten families in the prefecture. Of course, it was impossible for every family to be assigned a big house. The location of the place was in the golden area, and it was said that it used to be the mansion of a rich businessman. It was not small, and there were many independent courtyards, which were enough to accommodate so many people.
At noon, MIngzhu sent two people to pick them up.
That afternoon, everyone had already packed up their luggage. They didn't have any valuable things at home, and if they needed something, they could buy it in the city.
"Are we leaving now?" At the entrance of the village, Second Granduncle leaned on his walking stick and looked at the empty village with a nostalgic expression on his old face.
"Second Granduncle, don't be sad. We are going to live in a big house at the foot of the mountain!" Seeing this, Fang comforted him.
Not to mention Second Great Uncle who had lived here his whole life, even he felt a little reluctant to leave when he was about to leave.
"Let's go, let's go …" The old man waved his hand. After looking at the village again, he took the lead and walked forward.
Fang hurriedly chased after him. "Second Granduncle, the mountain road is hard to walk on. Do you want me to carry you?"
"My old arms and legs can still walk these few steps …"
"Then, let me carry your bag …" In front of Second Granduncle, Fang was especially attentive.
Xiao Huan carried her small bag in her arms. When they walked out of the village, she looked up at Li Yi and asked, "Son-In-Law, are we coming back after going to the prefecture?"
"We're not coming back …" Li Yi patted her head and said with a smile.
The little maid nodded and turned her head again. She looked deeply at the place where she grew up. There was a little reluctance on her face, but it quickly turned into determination.
She was a maid. Wherever Miss and son-in-law were, she would be there …
With this thought, a smile appeared on her little face again.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, when she turned back, Li Yi and the others had already walked more than ten steps. She hugged the small bag in her arms tightly and hurriedly chased after them.
