This suffocating silence shocked and frightened all the servants. The princess today seemed like a different person.

The servants would occasionally steal glances at Lin Wanwan, but then quickly look away as if they had been electrocuted, not daring to look at her at all.

Lin Xiaohe had a complicated expression and said in a deep voice: "An Ning, I see that you are in much better health. In four days, it will be the Queen Mother's Thousand Years Day. Can you attend?"

Ye Zhaobo's heart sank when he heard this. Lin Xiaohe's attitude was already clear.

Lin Wanwan said with a cold look: "I will go by myself."

"Okay." Lin Xiaohe exuded a strong aura of a superior.

Ye Sisi saw Lin Xiaohe's attitude and she was aware of it.

"Yes, we are all family, so let's talk it out."

A warm and tender voice eased the atmosphere a lot. Ye Sisi got up softly from the chair and walked forward to hold Lin Wanwan's hand to show her good relationship.

Lin Wanwan had a blank expression on her face and sat down next to Lin Xiaohe.

Ye Sisi looked empty-handed and smiled again, "Sister, have you had your meal yet?"

Lin Wanwan ignored him again, just turned her head slightly, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, that look was cold and sharp, making people shudder, and said bluntly: "I came here for two things."

Ye Zhaobo suppressed his anger and lowered his voice. He urged, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly. When you're done, go back to the East Courtyard and don't spoil the fun here."

Lin Wanwan held her chin lightly with one hand, staring out the door with a deep and distant look in her eyes. She smiled faintly, "The first thing is to redeem Lu Mu's indenture."

"That's it." Wang Yinyi said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll ask Butler Wang to get it and send it to the East Courtyard."

Ye Zhaobo glared at Wang Yinyi and said unhappily, "It's just a servant's little matter. Is it worth making such a fuss and ruining the relationship here?"

Wang Yinyi continued to smile and said, "Master is right. What about the second one?"

Lin Wanwan's face was as cold as water and she said, "You don't have to send it. Ask Butler Wang to bring it over."

"Okay, okay." Wang Yinyi looked at her cold and unapproachable appearance, suppressed her anger, and sent someone to call Butler Wang with an ugly expression.

How come this soft persimmon on weekdays has become a tough bone to chew today?

Butler Wang heard about this very quickly and immediately brought Lu Mu's indenture contract to the hall. His scalp tightened when he saw this scene and he immediately knelt on the ground to greet them.

Wang Yinyi smiled, showing off her status as the mistress of the Princess's Mansion. Before Lin Wanwan could speak, she asked, "Butler Wang, where is Lu Mu's indenture?"

Steward Wang lowered his head and raised the contract of sale above his head: "This is it."

"Give it to Lu Mu." Wang Yinyi said with a smile.

Lin Wanwan's voice floated out faintly: "Madame Li, give me the silver."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yinyi waved her hands and said, "No need. It's just a low-ranking servant's indenture. It's a small matter. I'll just give him the reward. Even if it's not for the princess' sake, it's still a reward."

Lin Wanwan seemed not to hear: "Rules are rules, they cannot be changed."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li stood up, handed a hundred taels of silver to Butler Wang, and then took Lu Mu's indenture from him.

Lin Wanwan said again: "Bring it here."

Lu Mu raised his head and saw Princess An Ning gently tear up the indenture contract in front of everyone, and the paper scraps fell.

His hands trembled, and from then on he was freed from slavery and was no longer a slave.

"The other hundred taels are for Lu Mu." Lin Wanwan gave Nanny Li a cold look.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the servants present could not help but look sideways at Lin Wanwan.

Who doesn't know this? One hundred taels is a small matter. If the master does not give a contract of sale, even if there are one thousand or ten thousand taels, the servants will never be able to escape from slavery.

Nanny Li understood and handed another 100 taels of silver to Lu Mu, reminding him, "The princess said that you can take away anything you need."

Lu Mu was so excited that he was shaking all over. He took the silver. He never dreamed that the oppressed princess would one day make decisions for him like this.

"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!"

The people in the audience watched Lu Mu kowtow repeatedly, feeling extremely envious and praising the princess today.

After Lu Mu kowtowed, he said, "My Lady, my mother is seriously ill and has no one to take care of her. I will go back for the time being. If I have the chance, I will come back to serve you."

[System prompts, mission completed, health +10 days, a total of 10 days and 1 hour. ]

"Yeah." Lin Wanwan said softly.

Wang Yinyi saw that Lu Mu kowtowed deeply again and still did not leave, with an appearance of deep affection between master and servant, which made her even more angry. At this moment, Lin Wanwan really became the mistress of the house.

She twitched her lips and could only smile and said, "What about the second thing?"

"As for the second thing..." Lin Wanwan's voice was faint and light. Everyone was extremely quiet, fearing that they had not heard it clearly.

"Give Steward Wang thirty lashes of the cane."

After hearing these words, Butler Wang took a deep breath. He had a bad feeling in his heart: "Madam... I..."

Wang Yinyi gave him a look to shut up, and quickly interrupted him to continue speaking. She frowned and looked at Lin Wanwan: "What's wrong with Butler Wang?"

Lin Wanwen smiled, but her smile was full of coldness.

Now even Ye Zhaobo understood the whole story and said angrily, "Madame Li was ordered to pay money to redeem Lu Mu, why are you dragging your feet?

If Steward Wang had agreed, there wouldn't be such a fuss now.

This matter has offended the prince again!"

Upon hearing this, Butler Wang was already trembling with fear.

But he was his own brother after all, so Wang Yinyi could only bite the bullet and plead, "Princess, thirty canes, right..."

Lin Wanwan said lightly: "Thinking about it this way, these thirty sticks are still too light. How about? Just beat him to death directly?"

Beaten to death? !

These light words made Butler Wang feel like he was struck by lightning, and he collapsed to the ground.

Ye Zhaobo said nothing. It was originally just a small matter of dealing with a servant, and with Lin Xiaohe present, the situation had already become one-sided.

He glanced at Lin Wanwan, his eyes full of surprise. Could it be that she had drunk something strong today?

Wang Yinyi's face turned pale and he cursed, "You bastard, get out of here and get thirty canes."

Steward Wang stood up tremblingly: "Yes... yes..."

Just as he was about to leave the hall, Lin Wanwan's voice floated out again: "Just fight in the yard outside the hall."

The servants were stunned. The usually arrogant butler Wang was actually stuffed with a cloth strip and tied to a bench.

At this time, a group of servants all retreated and dared not step forward. Steward Wang signaled with a look, and two servants nervously picked up sticks.

The two servants were filled with hatred, but when they saw the look in Butler Wang's eyes, they suddenly remembered how he usually acted domineeringly, and they were afraid that Butler Wang would take revenge on them later.

They stared at each other, not daring to really fight, so they could only stare with their eyes wide open, pretending to be furious and trying their best.

Steward Wang had a terrified look on his face, as if he was afraid that the stick would beat him to pieces.

"Ah!" Following a loud shout from Butler Wang, the two servants started counting.

The more Lu Mu looked, the more he felt something was wrong. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he stared coldly at the actions of the two servants.

The two servants' sticks swung with a sharp sound and seemed fierce, but every time they were about to hit Butler Wang, they would slow down a little.

The shouting was loud, but the fighting was soft, and in the end, the fighting was only on unimportant places.

Lu Mu was about to say something.

"Stop it." Lin Wanwan's eyes were like torches, and she smiled coldly, "How dare you play these little tricks in front of the Crown Prince? Are you two really going to die?"
