After she came back, she found that the territory had changed a lot. Although Fausto and others reported the work progress to her regularly, what she heard with her ears was still very different from what she actually saw with her eyes.
But the female lord doesn't have much time to wander around the city right now.
She asked Ruby to go with Fausto to allocate accommodation to the followers who were tired from the journey behind them.
Among the three types of accommodation, low-rent housing, longhouses and tents, which one you will live in during the two-week break is purely decided by drawing lots. This is the fairest way. If a family does not want to be separated, then nominate one person to draw.
In addition, it is best not for men and women to live in the same building to prevent unnecessary troubles in the future.
Yin Leya won't ask how to divide it specifically.
She returned to the castle first, where she was welcomed again by the steward Yago and others.
In addition to the traditional rabbit flag, Yago also had a dragon-slaying heroic flag and a championship flag made, which were hung over Teacup Castle.
To be honest, everyone didn't expect that the female lord would actually win a championship in the martial arts tournament during her trip to the royal capital.
Especially for the nuns and stewards in the castle who have watched Miss Rabbit grow up, no one knows better than them how much the girl weighs.
Before becoming the lord, Yin Leiya had never practiced martial arts at all. After becoming the lord, Miss Rabbit also worked hard to get better, but she only lasted less than half a day before giving up completely.
Especially with the ancient spirit, the female lord often spends the entire day in the study, never remembering to practice swordplay.
However, even in this way, she still became the number one master in the Red Lion Empire and even the Bratis Continent.
While everyone was lamenting the greatness of Saturday and the prophet Merlin's transformation of decay into magic, they couldn't help but sweat the current talent pool of the empire.
Yin Leya took care of the government affairs she had accumulated during this period. As a result, it was already evening after she put down her pen, and the female lord stretched herself behind the desk.
Just as he was about to go back to the house to rest, he heard from the guards outside that Fausto was back again and wanted to see her.
The female lord felt a little strange and didn't understand why Fausto came to her so late. The two had only met during the day. If there was something urgent, why didn't Fausto tell her at that time?
Xianggui thought so, but the girl still let Fausto in.
After the latter entered the house, he closed the door and took two steps forward. He even looked out the window before speaking.
"Lord Yin Leya, I have a letter here that I just received four days ago. It is written by Lord Pep to you."
"Why didn't you tell me this when we contacted by radio three days ago?" Miss Rabbit asked curiously, "Who is Pep?"
The female lord thought the name was a bit familiar at first, but couldn't remember where she had heard it before, until Fausto reminded her.
"Lord Pep is the head of the Welch family."
"Welch..." the girl muttered, finally having some impression, "Oh, it's that short fat guy."
Pep gave Yin Leia a statue of a very heroic dragon-slaying hero on her nineteenth birthday. However, there was a hidden mechanism inside the statue of a hero, and a deadly poisonous arrow was hidden inside.
The dragon-slaying hero seemed to have been secretly made by the blacksmiths of the Blood Moon Society, but the purpose was just to attract the attention of the female lord and provide cover for another more vicious hidden weapon.
However, Pep probably didn't know about this, because the cost of assassinating a noble was too high, and as the head of the Welch family, Pep himself had no grudge against Miss Rabbit.
There was no reason to do such a crazy thing, but then Pep took the initiative to confess another matter to the female lord.
And that incident was about the girl's missing stepmother and younger brother.
Seeing how cautious Fausto was, Yin Leia knew that this letter was most likely related to Vanessa Blanco.
So the female lord reached out, took the letter from the old advisor, and read it herself.
After that, her expression became more complicated, "Vanessa still didn't give up, and contacted Pep again to ask for money, saying that she would call back soon to make Blanco the owner of this land.
"I have revitalized the family, spread the name of Arias throughout the empire, and developed the green field to unprecedented prosperity, but does she still want to drive me away?
"You don't have to worry within the family. After all, everyone has seen your contribution to the family over the past year, and everyone now believes in Saturday together.
"Forget about Blanco and Vanessa, even if Lord Russ comes back, he won't be able to take away your position as head of the family."
"This is what is most difficult for me to understand." The female lord frowned, "To this day, that woman still refuses to accept her failure. Can't she see that she has no chance of winning?"
Fausto thought for a while and said, "Vanessa...maybe she just wanted to use this excuse to borrow some more money from Mr. Pep. The key is what Mr. Pep revealed in the letter.
"He seems to be trying to pull off a trick, use the money to lure Vanessa and Blanco out, and then completely eliminate this hidden danger for you."
Miss Rabbit fell into silence after hearing this.
After a moment, she shook her head and said, "Write a letter to Pep and tell him to stay out of his own business... I don't want the lives of Vanessa and Blanco. After all, they are my family."
Seeing that the old consultant seemed to want to say something else, Yin Leya said, "I know you will say that I am too kind and indecisive, but I still have to stick to my choice.
"I had a conflict with Vanessa, a very fierce conflict, and I used to hate her, but she did not let the group of mercenaries kill me that time at Honey Bear. It was just that Jude was entrusted by someone to deliberately provoke me.
It was the relationship between me and her that intensified the situation.
"So..." the female lord sighed, "I naively think that they and I are still family members, and as you said, my current position is already very solid. It is impossible for them to take it back, and I have lost it.
The only reason to kill them.
When Fausto heard this, his wrinkled face also showed a smile, "I don't want to advise you to kill Mrs. Vanessa and Master Blanco."
"uh-huh?"
"You have the most important qualities to become a great, not just an excellent lord. No wonder so many people follow you."
"Well, they mainly follow Merlin." The girl shrugged.
"But Prophet Merlin is also by your side. He chose you for a reason. Maybe you haven't realized it yourself, but you also have a special charm.
"As you know, I have served several lords of the Arias family, but it is only when I am by your side that I feel the most relaxed. It is not because there are fewer things to do, but it is a kind of relaxation in my mood.
Relax."
"Really?" The female lord scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed to be praised.
