Little Ye's eyes flashed, and she lowered her head to hide it. She said softly, "Sister Bai Lan doesn't seem to be doing well. When I went over, I saw that she was beaten up by Aunt Shen."

"She deserves it! Who told her to steal the young miss's hairpin? She still doesn't want to admit it, so she deserves to be punished!" Xiang Er suddenly interrupted.

Little Ye glanced at her, but did not say anything. She just lowered her head even more. Xiang Er glared at her unwillingly, then walked up to Fei Xiu and took the baggage from her hand. She smiled and said, "Sister Fei Xiu, let me help you send it in."

Fei Xiu did not refuse and only smiled at her. She then asked Little Ye in a gentle manner, but there was no trace of emotion on her face.

Xiang Er turned around and walked into the house. At the same time, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The next morning, before Little Ye woke up, he was dragged out by someone and dragged all the way to Ye Yuning's room. He opened his eyes wide and raised his head. He saw Ye Yuning in her middle clothes, her hair in a bun, and her face filled with anger.

"Miss, what did I do wrong?" Little Ye forced himself to calm down and asked.

Ye Yuning sat upright on the main seat. Seeing her behavior, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This maid had a good temperament and could endure it. It was a pity that she could not be used by her.

"Little Ye, did you take the clothes from the washhouse yesterday?" Ye Yuning's face was filled with anger.

Little Ye nodded, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Ye Yuning held a strand of hair with her delicate fingers and unconsciously made a circle. Her other hand knocked on the table, knocking on Little Ye's heart one after another.

"There was a problem with the two clothes in the bag. One of them was hooked, and the other was lost." Ye Yuning said, motioning Fei Qing to bring the two clothes to Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye looked at it and her face immediately changed, "Miss, this was not done by me!"

Ye Yuning looked at her and chuckled, "Did I say it was you who did it? There is no silver in this world." As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound outside the door, followed by the sound of Xiang Er and another servant girl entering the room.

"Miss, we found it!" As she spoke, Xiang Er shook the gray cloth in her hand. With a series of crisp sounds, a few hairpins, hairpins, and a purple robe embroidered with lotuses appeared in front of everyone.

Xiao Ye's expression changed again, and his gaze fell on the jewelry, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Xiang Er showed them to Ye Yuning one by one, then placed them on the table, "This was found in Xiao Ye's room, and they are all the jewelry that Miss used before! And this hairpin is the one that we didn't see last night!"

Ye Yuning picked up the hairpin, and her watery eyes narrowed slightly. Her long and thick eyelashes covered her eyes, leaving a shadow in the bottom of her eyes, "So it was you who stole the jewelry! It seems like we all misjudged you, Xiao Ye. Men! Find the Teeth Granny and beat her out of the house!"

With Ye Yuning's order, two strong women immediately came forward, one on the left and one on the right, holding Xiao Ye up. They didn't give her any chance to refute and forcefully dragged her out.

Xiang Er, who was at the side, revealed a complacent expression. Watching Xiao Ye's sorry state, she felt extremely happy in her heart.

"Well done, this is a reward for you." Ye Yuning smiled slightly and gave the hairpin in her hand to Xiang Er.

"Thank you for the reward, Miss!" Xiang Er's eyes lit up as she received the hairpin and carefully put it into her sleeve. This was pure gold! As expected of the third young lady, she was generous! Ye Yuning saw her expression and her expression did not change at all.

"It's time for Bai Lan to return. After suffering for a few days, she must have lost all her thoughts."

In less than an hour, Fei Qing returned with Bai Lan. Once they entered the inner room, Bai Lan immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Please allow me to return and serve you."

At this moment, Ye Yuning had already finished dressing and was sitting in a sandalwood chair. She was holding a cup of Junshan Silver Needles and sipping it. Under the cover of the white steam, Ye Yuning's expression was indifferent, making it hard for others to guess. Bai Lan had not heard a response for a long time, so she was uneasy. However, she did not dare to raise her head to peek.

After a long time, Ye Yuning put down the teacup, touched the gold-rimmed bracelet on her wrist, and said slowly, "Did you think about why I punished you in the past few days?"

Bai Lan's entire body trembled as she suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were filled with tears, "I didn't steal your jewelry!"

Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows, "Do you think I punished you because of this?"

Bai Lan was puzzled, and her eyes were filled with doubt.

Ye Yuning sighed and shook her head, "It's just a hairpin, I don't care about it at all. Normally, when there are any rewards, when have I ever been stingy? Even this is not enough!"

Understood, there is no need to continue to stay by my side to serve me, Fei Xiu! "

"Miss! Miss, don't chase me away!" Bai Lan was panicking and crawled a few steps towards Ye Yuning. She grabbed Ye Yuning's long pink dress.

"How dare you! Hurry up and let go!" Fei Xiu glared and went forward to pull Bai Lan away.

On the side, Fei Qing winked at Bai Lan. In the midst of her confusion, Bai Lan noticed that other than Fei Xiu and Fei Qing, there was only one little maid, Xiang Er, and Bai Yi were not here.

In a split-second, a thought flashed through Bai Lan's mind.

"It is my fortune to be able to serve Miss. If Miss is willing to keep me by your side, I will not hesitate to die!" With a dong sound, Bai Lan's head heavily hit the ground.

Only then did Ye Yuning nod her head in satisfaction and signaled Fei Xiu to help her up.

"All of you are by my side to serve me. There are some things that need to be seen clearly. Who should be touched and who should be avoided. Go back and think about it carefully." After saying that, Ye Yuning waved her hand and ordered Bai Lan to leave.

Bai Lan carried a worried heart and followed Fei Xiu out of the inner room.

After the two of them left, Fei Qing couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why did you let her come back? Didn't you know that she was in contact with the second and third wives? That day, Sixth Miss suddenly barged in, and it was Bai Lan who was on duty, but she didn't stop her." Fei Qing was extremely puzzled.

Ye Yuning looked outside the door, her hand holding the fragrant scroll in her hand, not replying.

She had her own reasons for doing so.

The servants around her were unsettled. Although there were people who instigated them, it was also related to her not doing anything. In her previous life, she had never paid attention to the thoughts of these maidservants, and had never thought of taking them in as her own. Thus, when she was in trouble, everyone around her was anxious to get rid of them.

Now, she did not want to repeat the same mistake. If she wanted to defeat her enemies in the Ye Residence, it would be difficult for her, Fei Xiu, and Fei Qing to do so alone.

Bai Lan was a child of the Ye Residence, and her parents and brothers were all working in the Ye Residence. She knew a lot of people, and could gather a lot of useful information.

Actually, Cuizhu was also a child of the Ye Family, but she was the old mistress's subordinate, so Ye Yuning did not trust her. Compared to the fierce and cowardly Concubine Qiao, Ye Yuning was more afraid of the old mistress.

In the Ye Residence, the old mistress was the true master!
