If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

In the main room of the north courtyard of the Liu Mansion, the beautiful woman and Meixiang sat at the top, and standing below were Nanny Chen, Chen San, and Meiying who had just entered.

"There are no outsiders here now, so please find a place to sit." The beautiful woman said with a faint smile as she looked at the three people below.

"Thank you, Madam." The three of them looked at each other. Nanny Chen sat down on the left first, Chen San sat down on the right, and Mei Ying hesitated for a moment and sat below Chen San.

After everyone was seated, the beautiful woman nodded to Meixiang, indicating that the rest of the work would be handed over to her. Meixiang pouted at her lazy mother and did not refuse.

"The main purpose of calling everyone here now is to meet first. Now that there are more people in the family, clothing, food, housing, transportation, and the division of labor at home must be considered first. In addition, as the saying goes, 'without rules, there will be no order', so some rules should be established in advance. What do you think?"

"Miss, you are right." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's discuss the housing issue first. The south courtyard of the Liu Mansion is now vacant. Meiying and Nanny can make arrangements to see if there is any room for it. The brothel and the gatehouse can also be cleaned up."

Nanny Chen lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "It's no problem to clean it up, but when Master Liu and his men left, they almost emptied the South Courtyard. Now the weather is still a bit cold, so sleeping on the floor may not be very convenient."

"This is easy. Do you remember the stretcher that the young lady made? I will take the older children to the back mountain to find some branches and weeds. We can modify them and use them temporarily for sleeping. As for the bedding..."

Hearing this, Mei Ying quickly replied, "Don't worry about this. The villagers just sent some over. They can be used by Xiao Shiqi and the others. The rest of us can just make do with it. We were able to live in the Bodhisattva Temple when we didn't have anything before. There's no reason to be squeamish now that we have a house."

"Well, let's just make do with what we have now, and we can slowly buy more later. As for the clothes, Mammy, please help sort them out and see how much we still need. Meiying, since you and I have entered the Liu Mansion, we are a family, and we must work together to live a better life."

The beautiful woman didn't say anything. She held the tea bowl and looked at her daughter with a smile on her face. Just as Master Fazhi said, she just needed to provide support and her daughter would handle the rest on her own.

"Okay, let's stop here first. It's getting late, so we should hurry up and act separately."

"Yes." Nanny Chen and Chen San had already walked out of the room before they finished speaking.

"Thank you, Madam and Miss, for your concern for us." Mei Ying's eyes were red and she didn't know what to say. She had felt like she was dreaming before, but only at this moment did she feel at ease in her heart.

Meixiang looked at Meiying who was about to cry and said, "Meiying, I just said that since we have entered the Liu Mansion, we are a family that shares honor and disgrace. You and your friends must remember that only when the Liu Mansion is well, everyone will be well!"

"Yes, I'll remember this and warn others from time to time."

"Okay, let's get to work."

Situ Yidong, who had just returned from a long business trip, went to the place where he met Chen San last time to try his luck during his break. He really met him. From a distance, he saw Chen San with seven or eight children, dragging or holding large and small branches and weeds in their hands, walking into the courtyard with the two big characters "Liu Mansion" engraved on the plaque at the south end of Liujia Village.

"Hey, how come the dignified Feng Mansion Secret Guard has become the leader of the kids?" Situ Yidong curiously flew up and landed on the sycamore tree at the gate of the courtyard, and his eyes met with Chen Er who was on another tree.

"What big shot is here? The top three secret guards of Feng family are all here?" Situ Yidun was surprised, and this aroused his curiosity even more.

Chen Er on the tree was also surprised. How did this little ancestor get here? It was neither right nor wrong to chase him away. He was so worried.

Situ Yidong didn't care about Chen Er's entanglement. All his attention was attracted by the bustling scene in the yard. Because he saw familiar faces again - the dozen or so little beggars active in the streets and alleys of Liuzhou Prefecture.

They were seen gathered in several groups, each busy with their own things. The older boys followed Chen San in collecting the branches that were dragged back and sorting out the weeds for drying. The girls followed a young nanny in preparing lunch.

There were two people sitting at the table in the north yard. A woman in her thirties was holding a tea bowl and complaining to a girl in her teens with her upper body lying on the table.

"Mother, this courtyard is bustling now, but there are so many mouths to feed. The food the village chief sent today probably won't last for a few days, alas!"

The beautiful woman looked at her daughter's sad face with a smile and said nothing. Although it was impossible to let her starve, it would be the best way if her daughter could really solve it on her own. She only needed to give her a push at the most critical moment, and just watch the show at other times.

"Mom, Wo Wo." Little Seventeen stumbled over, holding half a mixed noodle Wo Wo in his hand.

"Little Seventeen, you can't call her mother. You have to call her Madam. Remember?" Meixiang corrected him again, but it was obvious that the child under three years old couldn't understand why he couldn't follow Meixiang's lead.

Seeing Little Seventeen pouting and about to cry, Meixiang quickly snatched the food from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. Tears were already well up in his eyes and he was ready to cry, but his mouth was blocked so that it looked like a little rat that had been caught stealing food. His funny look made Meixiang giggle.

The beautiful woman turned her head at this time. Situ Yidong saw her face and trembled in shock. The branches of the sycamore tree trembled without wind. He managed to stabilize himself and was about to fly down to pay homage when Chen Er came over and stopped him. He pulled him and quietly flew out of the yard.

Meixiang was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look in the direction of the gate, then immediately returned to normal and continued teasing Xiao Shiqi.

"Who is...you have been here all these years?" Situ Yidun was still in shock and spoke incoherently.

"Yes, it's just as you guessed." Chen Er thought of the beautiful woman's attitude when she reported that day and gave him a positive answer.

"Ah" Situ Yidong covered his mouth in time. Who would have thought that the queen, who had been claiming to be sick and absent from public since her wedding, was actually in a remote mountain village thousands of miles away from the capital.

"That......"

"Everyone who should know will know, and those who shouldn't know should keep it secret as much as possible." Chen Er said what he wanted to ask, "Just do everything as usual, I'm going back."

Situ Yidun looked at Chen Er flying away and couldn't recover for a long time.
