"Our evidence is insufficient, Miss..." The housekeeper hesitated, fearing that Mu Xuanyi would be angry and find fault with others.
"I know, I just want to confirm." Mu Xuanyi raised her head. The housekeeper thought she was such an impulsive person to say such a thing.
When the housekeeper saw her consent, he left with peace of mind.
Mu Xuanyi stretched out and simply arranged the things on her hands. She hadn't rested for a few days. Now she relaxed suddenly and felt a wave of sleepiness coming over her. She lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
"Is she always like this these days?"
Vaguely, she seemed to hear someone talking next to her.
"Yes, Miss Mu has not allowed herself any rest during this period."
With a sigh, her body was picked up by a familiar and warm person.
Before her consciousness fell into deep sleep again, she could only hear one sentence from the man.
"Don't let her do this kind of thing again."
"Since your adults are back, why can't you see the guests?"
There was a lot of noise at the entrance of Feng Mansion, and the servants couldn't bear to disturb it.
We just sent away some eldest ladies, why are there so many more officials now?
It happened that the ranks of these officials were not high, they were all low-ranking officials of the sixth or seventh rank. They were not even qualified to go to court, so they were just vying to see Feng Yunxian one by one.
Are their adults so easy for them to meet?
"He was just a scholar before, but now that he has become the prime minister, he has become noble. Can't we even meet him?"
"Besides, the Prime Minister seems to be dealing with affairs at home these days. He doesn't even go to court. I don't know whether he is ill or caught up in something. The Prime Minister can't even explain it. Isn't this right?
Did it chill everyone’s heart?”
"That's right, we just want to confirm the current situation of the Prime Minister. Isn't this even allowed?"
"Are you feeling guilty?"
These petty officials, whose names they had never even heard of, were speaking nonsense here, as if they were sure that Feng Yunxian would not come forward to do anything to them. Their words were also extremely arrogant, making these servants very angry.
Are these people so arrogant now? Aren't they afraid that their career will be ruined? If the adults of their family knew about this, they would definitely not let them go easily.
"We, the servants, have no right to speculate on your lord's thoughts. But don't push yourself too far. My lord doesn't want to see you now. It's really unbecoming of you to make a lot of noise here." The housekeeper rushed after hearing the news.
Come, look at another group of people standing outside, I also feel extremely headache.
Are these people finished? They come over again and again to cause trouble, but I don’t want to give them any chance to rest!
"You are the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's residence, right? We are not here to cause trouble, we just want to confirm the physical condition of the Prime Minister and his old man."
"After all, the Prime Minister has not come to court for so long. If something happens to his body, our colleagues will naturally be worried about him. On the contrary, you people here are hesitant in speaking. Could it be that you are hiding something?"
"Or are you saying that the Prime Minister is not in the house at all? Have you been falsely conveying the Prime Minister's intentions all this time?"
These people couldn't hold back and spoke out their innermost thoughts.
After a series of questions, these people finally stopped and waited for the steward to give an explanation.
The steward's face showed a bit of panic: "You are setting up a false accusation! Who falsely conveyed the Prime Minister's intentions?"
"Hasn't the Prime Minister been handling affairs for the court these days? Why is there no news? Don't slander others with empty words!"
Those people were just speculating in their minds at first, but after seeing the butler's attitude, they became more certain about the matter and started laughing unbridled.
"Do you believe what you say? If the Prime Minister is really here, he will never tolerate me waiting here to act recklessly. He came out to stop us a long time ago, but the Prime Minister has not shown up yet. Isn't this possible?
Explain the problem?"
"What's the problem?" The housekeeper tried his best to pretend to be guilty and looked nervously at these people, whose faces were full of mockery.
"That means the Prime Minister is not in the capital at all now!"
"Yes, you deliberately created the illusion that he is still here. Think about it, if His Majesty finds out about this, what kind of crime will he punish you?"
After he said these words, the housekeeper seemed to have thought of his own fate, trembling all over and shaking his head in horror: "No, it's not like that, it's not what you think!"
He shook his head and backed away, his legs trembling.
The look of the butler made everyone more sure of their speculations, and they all laughed, mocking the butler's current behavior.
"You still said no, look how scared you are. Even if you want to lie to others, you have to practice hard!"
"It's really disappointing. I originally wanted to express my condolences to the Prime Minister, but now it seems that I won't be able to wait for the Prime Minister to come back here. Everyone should leave, the Prime Minister is not here!"
"Let's go, let's not stay here. The Prime Minister is not here, so it is useless for us to stay here."
In order to declare their victory, these people spoke loudly and seemed to deliberately promote such remarks.
The housekeeper looked at them with clearly very proud eyes. These people wished that Feng Yunxian would never come back in this life. They were not worried about Feng Yunxian's health as they said.
"Don't spread rumors, the Prime Minister is fine now. If you go out and spread false news, I will definitely not let you go!"
In order to pretend to be more serious, the housekeeper also said harsh words behind him, but they were all drowned out by the laughter of these people.
They had gotten the answer they wanted, and no one would believe the steward's words anymore.
After these people left his sight, the housekeeper motioned for others to go back to their original duties, while he himself returned to the study.
There is a man sitting in the study, who could he be if he is not Feng Yunxian?
"Sir, you are obviously back, why do you still ask us to block this news?"
Just seeing the arrogance of those people, the housekeeper felt extremely angry.
He is usually very calm, but he really can't bear to see his master being teased so wantonly.
"Didn't they destroy all the previous clues and evidence?" Feng Yunxian nodded calmly.
The housekeeper looked at him and suddenly felt that he looked familiar.
He remembered that when Mu Xuanyi was sitting here a few days ago, it seemed to be the same scene.
