"How have those rumors in the capital gone? Are there still people gossiping behind their backs now?" Mu Xuanyi asked without changing her expression as the housekeeper came again.
The housekeeper originally wanted to speak first, but Mu Xuanyi had already seen through his plan and made a preemptive strike. However, he had no choice but to answer Mu Xuanyi's words, so he could only say helplessly.
"Nowadays, no one in the capital is spreading rumors. The people behind the scenes seem to be worried about your return, so they have restrained their actions a lot."
Mu Xuanyi nodded: "How is the evidence you asked to check going?"
"The people behind the scenes are also cleaning up the evidence, because they have a lot of things in their hands, so even though our people have worked very hard to investigate, in the end they still couldn't keep up with the speed of their destruction." The housekeeper lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.
.
This result was naturally expected by Mu Xuanyi. She was not surprised. At this time, she only nodded lightly: "Okay, I understand. You can go down first."
After coming out of the study, the housekeeper still sighed in her heart that Mu Xuanyi was indeed a good person. Even if there were such big mistakes in the task assigned to him, she had no intention of blaming herself.
But as he thought about it, he realized something was wrong.
When he went to the study just now, didn't he persuade Mu Xuanyi to have a good rest? Why did he report the work content to her again?
The housekeeper found himself being led astray by Mu Xuanyi, and was very helpless at this time.
This young lady is good at everything, but when she is busy, she works harder than the adults in her family, and she doesn't know how to cherish her body at all.
He was worried about how he should explain what he would do if Miss Mu fell ill or had an accident because she was busy sorting out government affairs while the adults were away.
Looking at the study room with the door closed, he sighed quietly. He had just gone in once. If he went in again now, Miss Mu would definitely not open the door for him.
Just as the housekeeper was sighing, a servant suddenly ran over in a hurry.
"It's not good, it's not good, Uncle De, go and have a look quickly, something big has happened!"
The servants started shouting as soon as they saw his face. Seeing him in such a hurry, the housekeeper thought something had happened and hurriedly followed him out.
"Did something go wrong or something? Could it be that one of the servants got confused and something happened?" The butler kept asking the servant about his specific situation along the way, but he hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, which made the butler anxious.
Now that the master is away, if he cannot manage this mansion well, he will really betray Feng Yunxian's trust in him.
Therefore, he cannot be careless about anything and must check it clearly at the first time.
But when they arrived at the place, the housekeeper was dumbfounded when he saw the gorgeous women in front of him.
"This is what you call a big deal. What kind of big deal is this?"
On the way here, the housekeeper thought about all the possibilities, but he didn't expect this to be the case.
The servant had a bitter look on his face: "How can this not be a big deal? The palace has issued another decree, saying that we, your lord, are to marry the princess and let her be your equal wife!"
At this moment, even the housekeeper couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
"But didn't His Majesty already agree to let us, Sir, marry Miss Feng? What's going on with that princess?"
The servant shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation. In short, these are the girls sent by the palace. They said that before the princess gets married, they will help deal with the affairs of the palace."
"Is it from the Queen or Your Majesty?"
Now there are rumors outside that Feng Yunxian has returned, but none of them know that the person sitting in the study is not him at all.
Mu Xuanyi also helped handle those matters.
It would be easy if we could wait until Feng Yunxian really comes back, but now that he has not been seen, the palace is thinking about giving him a marriage again, which is like a wave of ups and downs.
"I don't know about this. Anyway, the men and girls in the palace left after letting go." The servant shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Uncle De, what do you think we should do about this?"
The two of them were standing quite far away at the moment and had not come close at all, but the housekeeper could already imagine the feeling of the storm coming towards them.
Uncle De has never seen this scene before, let alone know what to do.
Uncle De still doesn't know which one is more serious among the two crimes of disobeying orders and deceiving one's superiors.
But if this situation continues, it won't be long before he finds out.
"Uncle De, don't faint. If you faint, there will be no one to deal with these girls!" Uncle De felt a little dizzy, but before he fell, the servant who reported the news was holding him firmly.
.
Uncle De looked at him sadly: "In this case, you might as well make me faint."
Maybe when he wakes up, the adults will come back, and then there will be no need for him to embarrass himself.
But the servant is not stupid: "Who doesn't know that you are the one who makes the decision in our house now? Uncle De, please don't refuse and go quickly, otherwise they will start making trouble again without waiting."
What the servant said is absolutely correct. Just because there was no one to receive them, these girls were acting strangely. Just standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression.
The housekeeper sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide today, so he could only adjust his collar a little and walked straight over.
"Hello ladies, I am the housekeeper of this house." The housekeeper had a formulaic smile on his face and was about to speak when he received his first sentence of disdain today.
"You don't want to deliberately find an old man to fool us, do you? We are here to see the Prime Minister."
"Yes, we were invited from the palace to serve the Prime Minister. What are you, an old man, saying here?"
"Where is the Prime Minister? Did you deliberately not tell the Prime Minister about our arrival?"
"Do you know what the crime of resisting an edict is?"
These girls were chattering to each other, and the housekeeper felt that he was not far away from being saved.
But no matter how difficult the life is, you can still get through it. After all, these girls don't seem to be able to give up easily.
The butler could only say earnestly: "Since you are here to serve the Prime Minister, you should naturally follow the arrangements of our house. If you don't even obey the rules of the house, the Prime Minister will never like such a lack of etiquette.
woman."
"What do you mean by this? We have learned arithmetic in the palace. Are you questioning palace etiquette?"
"You also said that you didn't hide the Prime Minister from meeting us. How come we haven't seen the Prime Minister until now?"
