After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 560: People's Hearts Expand

After Qian Duoduo watched Sun Xinyan, Bai Ningning and their carriages leave, he also left with Chunxia and Qiudong.

Thinking that it was still early, she wanted to go back to Qian's house to change clothes first, and she felt that she had not been back for a long time. It was true that although this place was in the capital, she spent the most time in the villa.

"An Ba, tell your master that you don't need to pick me up in the evening. I will return to the Yang Mansion after I finish my work here. I will not go back today. Send someone to the villa to inform him."

"Yes, Miss."

Soon, An Ba informed three people of Qian Duoduo's movements and asked them to be responsible for informing them. Of course, the third family was the Yang Mansion, so that Madam Yang would not be anxious at that time.

When Qian Duoduo and the others knocked on the door of the Qian residence, a strange servant opened the door, stuck his head out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Chunxia frowned, "New here?"

The boy's cheeks were slightly red, like ripe apples. He said shyly:

"I'm really sorry, sister. I didn't know you and your master were looking for my master. Unfortunately, my masters are not here at the moment.

However, if there is something extremely urgent, sister, you may as well leave your name first. When my master returns, I will convey it to him truthfully. "After saying this, the servant bowed his head slightly.

"What's going on? Why does it take so long to open the door?" Qiu Dong came over and asked.

"The new servant doesn't know us." Chunxia crossed her arms and looked at the servant.

"New? How come we didn't know? Shouldn't the young lady be notified of the new purchaser? Who makes the decision?"

The servant felt something was wrong after listening to the conversation between Chunxia and Qiudong, so he quickly closed the door and went to look for someone.

Seeing the servant's guilty look, the two men hurried back to Qian Duoduo to report the situation.

"What's wrong?" Qian Duoduo asked after getting out of the car.

"Miss, the mansion has bought a new servant, but no one reported it. Moreover, the servant just heard me and Chunxia talking, and he seemed to run in with a guilty conscience."

"Just go in."

"Yes."

Qian Duoduo went straight in with Chunxia and Qiudong. As soon as they entered the door, they saw an unfamiliar maid running towards them.

"Who are you and how dare you break into the mansion without permission?" He said this and a few servants followed him.

When Qian Duoduo saw this, her face turned cold, because there were many more servants in the mansion whom she didn't know about.

"Where is Layue?" Qian Duoduo asked coldly with a stern face and a voice that seemed to condense the chill in the air.

Her sharp gaze was like two bolts of lightning, shooting straight at the group of seemingly timid servants in front of her.

"Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous? What do you want from our Miss Layue?" One of the maids stepped forward bravely and responded tremblingly, but her eyes clearly revealed fear and uneasiness.

"Huh! Young lady? She is just a lowly servant girl, yet she dares to call herself a young lady. I wonder who gave her such courage!"

When Chunxia heard this, a trace of disdain and anger flashed across her face. Without saying anything, she kicked the maid who had just answered her question.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and the maid screamed as if she had been hit hard. Her body flew backwards suddenly and fell heavily to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the rest of the people were frightened and turned pale. They retreated backwards involuntarily. For a moment, no one dared to take a step forward.

In an instant, the whole scene seemed to be muted by an invisible hand. The servants who were about to step forward lowered their heads. The courtyard was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Chunxia was seen walking in the front with his head held high and his chest puffed out, full of vigor and energy, like a brave and fearless vanguard general, paving a path for those behind him.

Following closely behind were Qian Duoduo and Qiu Dong. They walked steadily and without hesitation, heading straight towards the inner courtyard.

When the three of them just stepped into the inner courtyard, they were stunned by the scene before them.

I saw Layue sitting in the middle seat like the master of the house, looking calm and composed.

While gesturing with her hands, she directed the people in the yard to do various tasks in an orderly manner.

She looked even more dignified and impressive than a real young lady. If one didn't know the situation beforehand, anyone would have mistaken her for being the rightful young lady of this courtyard!

Suddenly, a leisurely voice broke the silence: "Layue, what are you doing?" Qian Duoduo said slowly.

Hearing this familiar and majestic voice, Layue was startled, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

She didn't even have time to turn her head to look at Qian Duoduo, and like a frightened rabbit, her knees went weak and she fell to the ground.

Her body was trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to raise her head. She stammered, "Miss, you're back! Why didn't you inform us in advance so that we can prepare in advance?"

Qian Duoduo slowly walked up to Layue, looked down at her kneeling and shivering in the snow, and said with a cold smile:

"Oh? You mean, I have to report to you when I return to my home, so as not to delay your tyranny here, right?"

La Yue was so frightened when he heard this that his face turned pale. He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy:

"Miss, please spare my life. I don't have the courage to do that. I was just careless for a moment, and failed to welcome you back in time. Please forgive me!" After saying this, tears were already welling up in her eyes, and she looked very pitiful.

Qian Duoduo never imagined that the Layue who used to be honest and methodical would turn out like this.

Qian Duoduo didn't even glance at her, just walked past her and headed towards his room.

"Miss, Miss, please listen to what I say..." Chunxia came up and kicked Layue away.

The other maids who were cleaning the courtyard were all frightened silly, but Chunxia's kick brought them back to their senses. They all knelt down, at a loss.

"Where's Aunt Liu?" Qian Duoduo didn't ask anyone specifically, but the quick-witted maid quickly said:

"To answer the eldest lady's question, Aunt Liu is sick and she is in her room."

Qian Duoduo stood in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes slowly sweeping over the maids kneeling on the ground.

They were all unfamiliar faces. She had handed over the personnel affairs in the mansion to Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu had only reported it once. After Qiu Dong talked to her, she let them handle it themselves.

But now these little maids were obviously bought into the mansion without their consent.

She didn't know whether this was instructed by Aunt Liu, or whether Layue, who seemed docile and well-behaved on weekdays, acted on her own.

Qian Duoduo really couldn't believe that Layue, who was always timid and cowardly, would be so courageous as to secretly buy someone into the mansion without the knowledge of the master!
