C17 Yard Destroyed

"What, how can he faint! How do you take care of your little miss? " Hearing Rose's report, Lin Loong stood up and slapped her in the face.

It was as if he wanted to use this slap to vent out all the anger he got from the father and son duo, Xu Zhaoning and Xu Renyu.

"I …" Rose covered her face and didn't dare to say anything.

"Aiya, this Second Sister is too delicate. It's obvious that the injured one is the Marquis, but why did she faint? She couldn't have pretended to faint because she was afraid that the Marquis would investigate her responsibility, right?"

Xu Zhaoning naturally knew why Xu Yanran had fainted. The stone that she had kicked was extremely sharp and just right for her. Xu Yanran definitely had to suffer a little this time.

Lin Loong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she heard Xu Zhaoning's words. She opened her mouth to argue on behalf of her daughter, but Mrs Xu beat her to it. "Xu Zhaoning, shut up!"

Xu Zhaoning shrugged and shut her mouth. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to change the fact that Xu Zhaoning's head had been smashed open. And her mood is super beautiful, beautiful want to sing a song how to do.

Because she was too worried about Xu Yanran, after Mrs Xu yelled at Xu Zhaoning, she ordered Lin Loong to head back to the woodshed.

Seeing Xu Renyu sitting gloomily in front of Xu Chengke's bed with a look of wanting to say something, Xu Zhaoning decided to find an excuse to return to her new yard.

The moment she pushed open the gate, Xu Zhaoning's forehead started to twitch. All the flower pots had been uprooted and thrown onto the path in the yard. The whole place was in a mess with no place to land, even the small pond in the middle of the yard had not been spared. The Jin Li that was being fed was floating on the surface of the water with his belly full.

"What's going on?" Xu Zhaoning stood at the door with a dark expression and asked the timid girl on the porch.

The little girl was stunned by Xu Zhaoning's death stare and answered shakily, "Y-yes, Miss, it's Second Miss. "As soon as Eldest Miss went to the palace, Second, Second Miss came."

"Heh." Without the slightest bit of surprise, Xu Zhaoning narrowed her eyes and snorted lightly. Her sword-like gaze fell on the little girl's body once again. With a voice as deep as hell, she asked, "She's here. Are you going to let her casually smack her butt?"

The little girl could not withstand the formless pressure from Xu Zhaoning as her legs gave way and she fell to her knees. Her voice was full of tears. "I was just a rough little girl, but that was Second Miss."

Second Miss was deeply loved by the madame. Even if she had ten times the guts, she still wouldn't dare to face Second Miss head on.

"Hehe!" The hostility coming from Xu Zhaoningzhao became even more intense. Her eyes were still as sharp as ever as she clenched her ten fingers into a fist to suppress the anger in her heart.

Just when the little girl was trembling like a fallen leaf and was worried that she would be killed by Xu Zhaoning, her fingers loosened and she leaned against the door frame with a smile that was not a smile.

Noticing that there were two girls sticking their heads out, Xu Zhaoning's smile became even wider.

"Fetch all the dead fish out of the pond for me."

"On what basis? We are first-rate girls. Such menial work is not suitable for us to do." The two of them had never thought that Xu Zhaoning would be so rude and infuriated.

"I only ask if you want it or not?"

"So what if we don't!"

"Heh …"

So what if he didn't?

Then she will immediately let them know the consequences. Xu Zhaoning whistled towards the sky and saw a huge gyrfalcon diving down. His targets were two girls sticking their heads out.

"Throw them into the pond, then call the butler to fill the pond."

"No, don't …" With a cry of alarm, the two were thrown into the center of the pond.

This pond was usually used for Xu Yanran to amuse the fishes. The water was not deep, but the two girls were obviously frightened. They were in a mess and didn't even think about standing up and walking out.

By the time the butler received the news and rushed over, the two of them were already on the verge of death.

"Eldest Miss." The housekeeper stood beside Xu Zhaoning with his nose to the side and his mouth to his mouth. He looked respectful, but his eyes were calm, as if he didn't see the two people flopping around in the pond.

She knew that Housekeeper Xu, like Uncle Bai, had grown up with Old Duke Xu Renyu. From a certain point of view, even Mrs Xu would have to be courteous to them while they were in the Residence.

However, Xu Zhaoning was not afraid of him. She sneered: "Housekeeper Xu, what would you think if Prefecture Prince's Mansion were to find out that Prefecture Princess had not even properly tidied up her own courtyard? At that time, will you blame the emperor for giving us trouble with this marriage? "

A dark light flickered in his eyes. Recalling Old Duke's doubts from before, he quickly retracted his thoughts, "Eldest Miss, don't worry. I will definitely give Eldest Miss a perfectly intact courtyard after I takes care of it."

"Very good, fill that pond up for me. Also, since you've pulled out the plants, don't plant them again. I have my own arrangements."

That girl's words were a reminder to Xu Zhaoning. Since Lin Loong was in charge of the mansion, there was almost no one she needed to use. Even the people who were sent here wouldn't be able to defend her courtyard.

Since that was the case, she had to find a way to train a good subordinate, and she also had to take precautions in the yard. Thinking of this, a plan slowly formed in Xu Zhaoning's mind.

Housekeeper Xu was puzzled by Xu Zhaoning's arrangement, so he did not express it on the spot. Instead, he nodded one by one and immediately put it into action.

Chirp chirp chirp!

The birds in the trees were twittering. Xu Zhaoning played with the jade flute, looking bored as she waited for her yard to be tidied up, but in reality, she was talking to the birds.

Hearing the bird say that two bloody holes had appeared on the back of Xu Yanran's head and that she was still unconscious, Xu Zhaoning finally smiled from the bottom of her heart.

The doctor of this time did not know about concussion, but based on Xu Zhaoning's many years of experience as a doctor, Xu Yanran being lucky enough not to fall to the ground and become a fool.

As night descended, Xu Zhaoning's courtyard was finally tidied up. The entire courtyard was as she had instructed, it was so spacious that one could see everything clearly. A new signboard had also been hung, and the words "Shao Court" were personally written by Xu Zhaoning.

When the entire courtyard had quietened down, Xu Zhaoning swiftly flashed out of the Shao Court like a gust of wind, and with a clear target, she snuck into Lin Loong's courtyard.

Xu Yanran still hadn't woken up yet. Lin Loong was taking care of her in Yanran Courtyard. At this moment, the courtyard was empty except for the little girl who stayed behind. Like a ghost, Xu Zhaoning avoided the sleepy girl from the corridor and entered Lin Loong's room to look for the location where Lin Loong had placed her banknotes.

She thought about it and wanted her Shao Court to not be disturbed, so she had to set up a barrier in the courtyard. This barrier had to be inconspicuous but it was also extremely effective, such as planting all sorts of poisonous flowers and herbs in the courtyard.

This was also why Xu Zhaoning told Housekeeper Xu to fill in the pond and leave the flower beds. Hai Dongqing had already asked around for her, there were gardeners in the city who grew strange flowers and herbs, but the price was not cheap.

No one would be more wealthy than Lin Loong in terms of Loyalty Duke's Mansion, so Xu Zhaoning had come.
