"Of course, if Aunt doesn't believe us, we can write down a contract and use it as evidence. What do you say?" Bing Lanyue's face was full of confidence, allowing Madam Lin to feel slightly at ease.

After that, Bing Lanyue took a pen and paper and wrote down what had just happened on a piece of paper. She then signed on it, and after that, Madam Lin said the name of the servant, and signed on it.

After the Madam Lin left, Bing Lanyue immediately called for Chun Er and Qing Qiu, and said coldly: "Prepare a red lantern for me, cover my mouth with the maids on this list and tie them up!"

Chun Er who had never seen Bing Lanyue so stern, shivered, then quickly moved, in a short while, she saw a servant who was dressed in a servant's clothes kneeling in front of him.

"Miss, this is what you are looking for. It is indeed in her box." Chun Er passed over the proof of a bribe that the Madam Lin mentioned. It was a tie, something with high quality agate gold wire.

Bing Lanyue took the collar button and weighed it for a bit, and then said with a sneer, "Unexpectedly, you guys sold me out with just a collar button, all these things that have happened in these many years right?"

With that, Bing Lanyue's gaze turned towards the servants in the courtyard who were holding lanterns, lowering their heads. Only then did she realise that there were fifteen maids attending to him, and that there were so many that could not be seen normally scattered all over the place.

Everyone lowered their heads in silence, afraid that they would be tied up if they were careless. Moreover, they were all guessing what kind of punishment the usually weak Bing Lanyue would give to this servant.

Of course, Bing Lanyue had never killed anyone in her previous life and she did not want to kill anyone in this life either.

"Chun Er!" Bing Lanyue lazily called out to Spring, she did not forget to size up her nails yet, and continued indifferently, "According to the rules of the manor, what must we do to be the host?"

"Miss, the servant girl behind the master first sewed her mouth, and then she asked the granny broker to come over and sell!" Although Chun Er felt that she was becoming more and more terrifying, she understood her thoughts and immediately replied word by word, word by word.

Bing Lanyue lifted her head to look at the little girl and saw her originally calm face revealing a trace of panic and unease, and the gag that was stuck in her mouth was emitting a wuwu sound. Bing Lanyue naturally knew what she wanted to say, and directly ignored her.

He merely said that his secret had been leaked by the quiet Qing Qiu. Even if he wanted to take care of it, he would need to take care of Qing Qiu, not her!

It was a pity, Bing Lanyue was completely at ease with Qing Qiu's abilities, if she had really liked to gossip, she would not have grown so thin, and would always be bullied by the servants.

"Since the rules are set here, why haven't you acted yet?" Bing Lanyue lazily raised her eyelids, thinking that the ancient seams couldn't really be made with needle and thread, right?

"Yes, this servant will call the matron from the steward's room to come and execute the punishment now!" Chun Er nodded her head in agreement, her face revealing a serious look, but just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Bing Lanyue.

"Forget it, it's already late. You should send the maidservants over there. Tomorrow, when the granny broker comes over, I still have some things to tell her." As Bing Lanyue spoke, she looked at the servant girl's face and thought about how her heart was higher than the heavens and her life was thinner than paper. She silently sighed in his heart.

She originally wanted to be a bad guy, but why was she the Holy Mother? Bing Lanyue secretly sneered in her heart, a hint of happiness in her eyes.

Then, after a night of peaceful sleep, Bing Lanyue went to eat breakfast and went to school. She only returned around noon, and seeing that there was an old granny standing in the courtyard with sweat all over her head, she stopped and asked, "Why isn't the sun shining in the sky?"

That person was not wearing the old lady's clothes in the residence, so one glance was enough to tell that he was from outside. Seeing that Bing Lanyue immediately knew that he was a noble from the residence, she quickly knelt down and bowed, "This little one is the tooth granny that the young miss had ordered for me, I am specially waiting to hear young miss's instructions."

Bing Lanyue slapped her head, only then did she remember what happened last night. She was so dizzy from being taught by the teacher that she had long forgotten about the girl's matter, hence she quickly entered the door and asked: "Where's the girl?"

Just as she was speaking, Bing Lanyue suddenly saw Chun Er walking in with a fresh look on her face. Behind her, two servants were supporting the servant who was taken away last night.

Bing Lanyue covered her mouth and nose, resisting the urge to vomit, thinking that this ancient era was truly abnormal, but she put on a cold and proud expression and said, "Bring her to the servant's room to pack up, I want to talk to the granny broker for a while."

Originally, Bing Lanyue wanted to gather all the servants over and teach them a lesson, to make an example out of a chicken. However, looking at her, Bing Lanyue did not have the heart to make her suffer anymore, after all, people die for money, birds die for food, everyone had their own choice, so she might as well just walk her over.

"My maidservant's appearance is considered average. If the wound on her mouth is healed, she can be sold for a good price. You know that!" Bing Lanyue sat down, looking at the granny broker whose forehead was covered in perspiration, she called for a servant to bring her a cup of cold tea.

Bing Lanyue then continued: "Although I made a mistake, I don't want her to stay in that dirty place. I can't sell the brothels, find her a more honest farmer and sell him half for a wife, in addition, here are 10 taels of silver. When she has settled in, I will give her the money."

Although the granny broker had seen a lot of masters selling girls, she had never seen anyone selling girls like Bing Lanyue.

After that, Bing Lanyue said something else that didn't matter, and got Chun Er to give him a red packet. Hearing that, the people outside reported that the girl had finished packing up, they gave Chun Er a look, and said, "Chun Er, send them out!"

Chun Er nodded his head in agreement. Then, together with the granny broker, she sent the servant out of the Third Floating Flower Gate. Along the way, she purposely made the girl raise her head so that everyone could see her sewn mouth.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace's banquet. However, Bing Lanyue woke up the latest, put on a simple makeup and a set of exquisite clothes that the Old Ancestor sent her.

Ever since he punished the maid who had sewed her lips, Bing Lanyue's courtyard became a lot calmer. Although it did not completely stop the internal strife from happening, everyone was extremely careful and did not dare to have any other tricks up their sleeves.

Bing Lanyue blurrily got onto the carriage, and when she was still half the distance away from the palace gate, she looked at Bing Ruolan who was dressed in the clothes of a servant girl and said, "Are you afraid that I'll go back on my word?"

Bing Ruolan was originally feeling uneasy. Hearing Bing Lanyue's words, she became even more anxious, but her face was flushed red and she could not say a single word.

"I'm lying to you, hurry up and let us change clothes. I don't like these clothes, they're too heavy!" Bing Lanyue untied her belt, took off his jacket and threw it at Bing Ruolan, who was beside him, and patted her shoulder.

Due to the clothes being covered in pearls and exquisite embroidery, they were especially heavy. The moment Bing Lanyue changed into the servant's clothes, she instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

After putting on the young miss's clothes, Bing Ruolan looked at Bing Lanyue arrogantly, only to see that Bing Lanyue was not even the least bit disappointed, and could not help but say: "Are you that unwilling to enter the palace?"

Bing Lanyue raised her eyes, but did not answer. What's so good about being in the palace? Just the rules of the General's Estate was already unbearable for Bing Lanyue, let alone that palace with its innumerable walls.

Seeing that Bing Lanyue did not answer, both of Bing Ruolan's eyes were filled with curiosity. For more than ten years, she had always resented Bing Lanyue because she was a Shu Family's daughter, but today, she suddenly looked at Bing Lanyue with sympathy.

In fact, both of them were quite sympathetic towards each other at this moment. They were born with fixed statuses, making it difficult for them to cross the chasm that was their own.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Bing Lanyue thought about getting off the carriage, then respectfully retreated to the side. Clear Autumn stepped forward to support Bing Ruolan who was slowly walking over.

Since they were all young mistresses, the palace had prepared a sedan to assist them. As a servant, Bing Bluemoon had no life in a sedan, so she had to follow them slowly. Why was the path of the damnable palace so long?

Walking until his legs became weak, Bing Lanyue was unable to go any further, so she sat at a corner and rubbed his legs, thinking that if other young miss passed by later, she would be able to find a place for the banquet.

After resting for a while, when Bing Lanyue wanted to find the ladies' palanquins, she was immediately stunned. The entire road was devoid of people.

AHH!" Ice Blue Moon stomped her foot in anger and walked aimlessly along the road. After an unknown amount of time had passed, she saw a palanquin in front of her and followed behind the palace maids.

Bing Lanyue realized that the palanquin in front was much more exquisite than that of the young ladies, and the patterns embroidered on it were especially complicated, because according to the rules, maids and maids had to lower their heads, while Bing Lanyue could only take a peek.

When the palanquin finally stopped, Bing Lanyue raised her head and carefully examined the place. At the entrance of a palace, a sign had the words "Xiao Ning Palace" written on it.

Is this a place to attend banquets? Bing Lanyue was suspicious, she then followed behind the group of palace maids and entered. Suddenly, her arm was grabbed, and she bellowed: "Where did you come from!"

Bing Lanyue felt a pain in her arm, and cried out "Ouch!" miserably. Seeing that it was a servant girl who was a bit taller than him, Bing Lanyue felt that her strength was really extraordinary.

The young miss of this house came to visit. Both of the maids had kung fu skills! Bing Lanyue raised her head, wanting to explain to the young miss, but when she saw her face, she was immediately shocked.

Eight years … A whole eight years of love, ended with a short message "blessings" love, that man's face appeared in front of Bing Lanyue's eyes.
