Cang Yile listened. The corners of his mouth twitched noticeably. Such a living person, and she thought of him as a ghost... Xia Yuhan was barely visible. "What’s going on with you?"
He casually took the account book thrown by Xia Yuhan. He intended to say something, but was at a loss for words due to Xia Yuhan's remark.
Because he clearly saw Xia Yuhan looking at him with a puzzled expression, then she muttered to herself in confusion, "Huh. Have you ever seen a ghost shadow that can still catch an account book? How strange. Forget it. No need to think too much about it. I’ll just get busy. If I’m busy, there won’t be any ghost shadows."
Cang Yile felt as if countless leaves were drifting behind him, drifting with an overwhelming sorrow.
So he had always been a ghost shadow in her heart.
It was truly infuriating. For more chapters, please visit.
If it weren't for the important matters he had to attend to outside, he wouldn't have disappeared for so long without coming to see her even once.
He saw that Xia Yuhan really regarded him as a ghost shadow and was about to leave. He quickly took a step forward and approached Xia Yuhan: "Yu Han. This King is such a big living person here. Can’t you see me, or are you pretending not to see me?"
Xia Yuhan shook her head... It really was Cang Yile. She had just been talking to herself. How embarrassing!
To cover up her inner turmoil, Xia Yuhan steadied herself: "Yes, I was pretending not to see you. What can the prince do? The prince has repeatedly entered through the window without anyone knowing; it’s really quite improper."
After not seeing each other for a while, upon first seeing Xia Yuhan’s sharp demeanor, Cang Yile couldn’t help but embrace the person in front of him: "Yu Han. It’s been a while. This King has missed you dearly."
Xia Yuhan was so angry she almost cried. She knew he would come back with sweet words after the fact. Furious, she punched Cang Yile's chest hard, cursing inwardly: I told you not to come! You just didn’t come! I said we shouldn’t meet, so we shouldn’t meet!
I kick! I kick! I kick fiercely.
Until Xia Yuhan got tired of hitting him and finally let go of Cang Yile. However, when Cang Yile looked down at Xia Yuhan in his arms, he found that she had actually fallen asleep from exhaustion.
He raised his head and glanced at the mountain of account books piled on the desk and couldn’t help but sigh deeply: This woman really doesn’t care about her life.
Thus, he picked up Xia Yuhan, went around the screen, and gently placed her on the bed.
He was running around everywhere, all for the sake of uncovering her background. When he personally confirmed that Xia Yuhan's identity had a significant connection to the Imperial Jade Seal, he truly didn't know what to do.
It was rumored that the Imperial Jade Seal was in the hands of a princess from the Lost Nation. However, that princess later met an untimely death. According to those who knew the Lost Nation princess, at the time of her passing, she had nothing with her. Moreover, her three-and-a-half-year-old daughter was also missing...
Calculating Xia Yuhan's age carefully, and considering that she later lived in Xia Manor, along with seeing how clever and wise she was, it was possible that she really was the daughter of the Lost Nation princess...
If Xia Yuhan knew her true identity, how would she react?
He didn't know.
But no matter what, he would staunchly protect her.
Cang Yile noticed people around the house and quickly hid the note he had written earlier in a place closest to Xia Yuhan's skin. Then he turned over and leaped onto the beam...
When Xia Yuhan woke up again, it was Zhi Tao who called her. The strong men from Xia Yang Village had arrived.
Xia Yuhan dragged her heavy body to meet the strong men—
"Strong Man, thank you for your hard work on this journey. How is everything in Xia Yang Village lately?"
"Second Sister, please don't worry. I now have one or two young fellows following me to help out. They are already capable of handling things on their own. Following your training methods, I believe we will have a great harvest this year."
"That's wonderful to hear. Strong Man, please take care of your current matters quickly and then bring your mother to Xia Manor. I need more hands here. However, the original staff at Xia Manor are all old servants and quite difficult to manage."
"Second Sister, please rest assured. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it. The Mother of the Strong Man is saved by you, so I will do my utmost to assist you."
Xia Yuhan tried hard to muster her spirits: "Strong Man, there’s much more ahead for you to accomplish. However, this matter is entirely up to your choice. I see great potential in you; you are well-suited for martial arts training. I want you to work while diligently practicing martial arts so that one day you can achieve success as a martial champion."
Upon hearing this, the Strong Man knelt before Xia Yuhan with a thud: "Second Sister, I am willing! This is something I've longed for! With your guidance, I will not disappoint you."
Because it is only for oneself. Doing things this way provides great motivation.
Xia Yuhan timely reminded, "Big Man, you need to understand. What you are doing is not for me, Xia Yuhan, but for yourself. You must tell yourself that you will not disappoint yourself. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Second Sister." The Second Sister looked weary. "You may leave now."
"It's nothing. I just haven't rested well. You can go now. I've already arranged accommodations for you. Big Man, remember, aside from your teacher, do not let anyone else know about your martial arts training. Understood?"
"Yes, Second Sister. The Big Man has noted it."
After the Big Man left, Xia Yuhan felt a slight itch on her arm and scratched it. As she scratched, a note came out. It read: "Do not attend the Flower Viewing Banquet in three days. There is great danger."
After reading it, Xia Yuhan placed the note over a candle and burned it to ashes.
She had no intention of attending the Flower Viewing Banquet. However, someone wanted her to jump into the trap they had painstakingly set. If she didn't go, wouldn't that be too disrespectful? Moreover, it would waste their efforts.
Internally, she had already taken control of the entire Xia Manor. She could be considered established there. Having secured Xia Manor meant securing her own backing.
The current situation was much better than before. So why shouldn't she go?
Besides, even if she could escape temporarily, she couldn't escape forever. Those people would ultimately not let her go.
As for why they wouldn't let her go, Xia Yuhan couldn't understand.
In any case, as long as they didn't come to settle accounts with her, she would always find a way to make Canglong Hui and the Queen lose face in front of everyone.
One day, she would do everything in her power to help Cang Yile defeat them personally.
As the last bit of ash from the note gently fell from the air, Xia Yuhan's weary expression suddenly vanished. She quickly tidied up the account books on the table and hid them in the Treasure Chest within her body before bursting out of the door.
Since the last incident occurred, the Treasure Chest not only could expand and change freely with her thoughts but also allowed her to take out items at will.
These account books and land deeds were quite important. If they were lost, everything would be in vain. Therefore, it was safest to keep them hidden in the Treasure Chest.
Xia Yuhan hurried to Fortunate. Almost as soon as all the enemies discovered her chest, it suddenly became able to hide itself at her will.
Upon reaching the Main House of Xia Manor, Xia Yuhan found the butler and instructed, "Butler, have all the servants of Xia Manor gather here within half an incense stick's time. If they do not arrive on time, they will be immediately kicked out of Xia Manor."
"Yes, yes, Second Sister." The butler, having witnessed Xia Yuhan's capabilities, did not dare to delay and quickly went out.
If it had been Second Madam instead, it would have been different. He would have taken his time to urge the servants of Xia Manor. After all, Second Madam lacked any authority and wouldn't know how to deal with them.
Indeed, once Xia Yuhan made her appearance, the speed of the servants increased significantly.
In half an incense stick's time, most of the servants of Xia Manor had gathered here. Xia Yuhan looked at the crowd and estimated that there were at least a hundred servants in Xia Manor.
No wonder the expenses of Xia Manor were not very high; however, the monthly daily expenses in Silver Taels were quite substantial due to a bunch of idle people who only ate and did nothing.
Xia Yuhan gauged the time and cast a faint glance at the butler: "Is everyone here?"
"In response to Second Sister, those from the Kitchen, Accountant, Warehouse, Guard Squad, Errand, Procurement, and other departments have arrived. It's just that those serving Madam haven't come yet."
"Oh? Why haven't they arrived? They are much closer than the others. I remember not granting them any privileges."
The butler broke into a cold sweat: "Second Sister... They are unaware of this. The ones who needed to be informed have been notified."
Xia Yuhan had no intention of waiting for them any longer. She found a high spot and shouted into the dark crowd inside: "Who is from the Accounting Room?"
An old man jumped out from the crowd. He respectfully bowed his head to Xia Yuhan: "Second Sister, it's me."
"Please rise." Xia Yuhan quickly stepped forward to assist him. According to Second Madam, the old man from the Accounting Room was considered a decent person. Although he appeared to listen to Madam's words on the surface, in reality, every time he distributed Silver Taels to them, he would always set aside some Silver Taels for them.
"Second Sister, you flatter me."
"Someone, bring a seat."
As soon as the words were spoken, the servants brought a chair for the old man from the Accounting Room to sit down. Although he was an old man, when Xia Yuhan had just checked his pulse, she felt that he was quite capable for his age.
However, after all these years, why would he willingly do such an inconspicuous job at Xia Manor?
It seemed that the depths of Xia Manor were indeed not ordinary.
"Old man, what is your name?"
"In response to Second Sister, for so many years they have called me Accountant. I have gradually forgotten my real name."
