Schilling's Shadow reached out and patted Lan'er's hand, silently comforting Lan'er as he turned to look at Master Xi.
"Grandfather, someone came to Cool Breeze Courtyard last night, but I was completely unscathed. This means that the person was not here to take my life. Since his goal was not to take my life, why should I move?" Xi Nuoying's analysis was clear and logical. Lan 'er nodded as she listened, thinking that the girl was right.
"No, you're Shirao's only daughter. Even if they don't want to kill you, Breezy Courtyard is no longer safe. If Grandfather wants you to move, then you have to move." Master Xi's attitude hardened.
"Servants, move Miss Nine's belongings to Yushi Courtyard."
As soon as the Patriarch gave the order, the servants following behind the guards immediately started to move. There was strength in numbers, so everyone moved a little bit. Very soon, Cool Breeze Courtyard was emptied out.
"The Jade Clan Residence has always been your father's courtyard. All these years, grandfather has never let a speck of dust fall on it. Don't worry, just move in immediately." Putting away his earlier stern demeanor, the head of the Xi Family put on the appearance of a loving grandfather.
Schilling's Shadow discreetly observed Master Xi's expression and narrowed his eyes.
Even though Yushi Courtyard wasn't as comfortable as the manor's first courtyard, it was still considered one of the best rooms in the manor. Grandfather actually gave her such a good courtyard? How intriguing.
"Miss, the hard times are over and the good times are coming." Lan'er sighed. "If the Fifth Lord knew that Miss has moved into his courtyard, I'm sure he would be very happy."
Lan'er turned around. "Miss, Master Xi is paying more and more attention to you."
Schilling's Shadow wasn't as naïve as Lan'er. "That's not necessarily true."
"What do you mean by that?" Lan 'er was puzzled. "Young Lady's extraordinary performance in the Dou Qi Competition has already attracted the attention of the major aristocratic families. Everyone has a whole new level of respect for Young Lady. The Family Head will certainly treat Young Lady differently. Besides, the City Lord has been praising Young Lady, and the Family Head also heard it." Many people wouldn't even get to see the City Lord in person in their lifetime. Many cultivators wouldn't even get to hear the City Lord's praises, but Miss Nine had gotten both.
As Miss Nine's maid, she had also received a lot of glory.
Over the past few days, the servants in the manor had been treating her with more respect. When she thought about how those who had bullied her in the past would now flatter and smile at her every time they saw her, she couldn't help but feel pleased.
"Alright, Lan'er, you don't need to ask about this anymore. Since you have no choice but to move here, then just stay here. Grandpa said that he only allowed the servants to take care of the grass and trees here, and that he didn't touch them casually. That means that everything here is exactly the same as before … Lan'er, you're not allowed to touch anything here, okay?" Perhaps she could find some clues about her father's disappearance here.
"Yes, Miss Nine. This servant will go and pack up your things now." Lan'er saw Schilling's Shadow's serious expression and knew that Miss Nine wasn't trying to dismiss her. She warned herself to be more careful.
After Lan'er left, Schilling's Shadow finally had some peace and quiet.
Lan'er was still young after all, so she didn't see the problem in depth.
Grandpa had already suggested that she move to a new courtyard, but he had only said it as a test. He didn't really want her to move, but now he was asking her to move. On the surface, it seemed like it was because someone had ambushed Cool Breeze Courtyard last night, but in reality … it definitely wasn't that simple.
