The cleaning lady came out of the house yawning and rubbing her eyes.

The maids and servants who were guarding the gates everywhere woke up and leaned against the door, planning to swap shifts with others, eat something, and then go back to their rooms to sleep.

The little maid, who had just had her hair cut, was watching over the stove with sleepy eyes, supporting her cheek with her hands and nodding her head.

"What time is it? Is the water ready?"

Outside the door, Gu Xing's urging voice came: "The masters are waiting for hot water to wash!"

He was a servant who served the third young master Yan Shiyan. Usually, this was Lai Baolaishun's job.

Today, the young masters are all very busy, so they sent him here.

The little maidservant was quick-witted. She looked at the iron pot bubbling with white steam and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there!"

"You little bitch, you fell asleep again, didn't you?"

The cook was busy putting freshly wrapped crystal shrimp dumplings into the steamer, cursing, "If you get into trouble one day, beating to death would be the least of your trouble."

The little maid was used to being scolded. She scooped hot water from the pot with a big spoon and said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu is used to intimidating people."

"Intimidation?"

Madam Lu sneered, "You have never experienced anything, so you don't know what is good for you. Back then, no one warned us."

"I got it."

The little maid responded casually, and carried out the bucket of hot water with difficulty, then went back to get another bucket and handed it to Guxing who was waiting at the door.

"Why are you the only one here today?"

The little maid looked around for a moment and saw no one else, so she asked curiously.

There are four young masters living in Zhufeng Courtyard, and they need at least two buckets of water for washing.

In other words, at least two people are needed to carry back two buckets of hot water at the same time.

It is said that like master, like servant. Gu Xing's little mouth was as sweet as honey, and she smiled and said, "My dear sister, I have one more favor to ask of you. Please call another maid to come out and carry it over with me!"

As he said this, he stuffed a few copper coins into her hand.

Guxing was born with a delicate appearance and a fair face, and he looked somewhat like Yan Shiyan.

He stood there begging with a smile on his face. The little maid couldn't bear to refuse, so she agreed somehow.

When she returned to the kitchen and saw that everyone in the room was busy, she realized how difficult it was.

This morning trip was so busy that I was exhausted.

She gave up half of the copper coin, shamelessly asked a maid to help her, and followed Guxing to carry the hot water.

In front of the main house, Yan Shouzhuo brought Yan Jinyang back from the stable, and the four boys went jogging together for a quarter of an hour in the morning.

I have something to do today, so I asked for leave from the teachers, but morning exercise is essential.

The Guxings prepared water for washing their faces, and their servants helped the young masters wash and change their clothes.

After a while, Lai Shun came into the yard and replied, "Master, everything is ready."

Yesterday, after returning from Huamu Hall, everyone discussed and assigned tasks to their respective groups.

Fortunately, it is winter, and the chickens, ducks and fish that were poisoned will not rot for the time being, but they cannot be kept for long.

According to Qu Liang's experience, the best way to dispose of any poisonous substance is to burn it first and then bury the ashes to prevent the spread of the poison and harm living beings.

Lai Shun was responsible for going to the outer courtyard to find the manager and arrange the truck for transporting the goods.

He held a pen and led a group of servants to carry the bodies to be burned.

After a quick breakfast, Yan Yuanan went to find Zeng Xiangjin to discuss the burial location.

Qu Liang had checked and found that the toxicity remaining in the corpse after Yan Jinyang's treatment was already very weak, but just in case, it would be best to find a useless piece of wasteland far away from water sources to burn and bury the corpse.

Yan Shouzhuo went to Huamu Hall to pay his respects to his mother and report their arrangements for the day.

Yan Shiyan stayed in Zhufeng Courtyard and took charge of the overall situation.

He also has a little follower, Yan Jinyang, who follows him like a little tail and runs around for him.

Having made a mistake yesterday, he seems to be particularly well-behaved today.

Yan Shiyan stood in the misty morning light with a slight smile on his lips.

"It's almost time. Go check if Master Qu is ready. If everything is ready, ask Rui'er to come back and tell me, and you can go directly to the side door."

"Okay, third brother."

Yan Jinyang responded obediently, stepped forward with his short legs, raised his two little arms and stretched them out, and ran away like a little eagle.

The medicinal tea he drank before his morning run was still taking effect, and he had so much energy that he didn't know where to use it.

Feng'er and Rui'er followed closely behind him.

Ever since Yan Jinyang sneaked out of the house last time, the two of them adopted a close-marking tactic to ensure that at least one person was following Yan Jinyang.

No matter what you say, he won't get you out of here.

Half an hour later, Huamu Hall.

After Qin Yaoguang finished breakfast, he heard Chunfen come to report: "Your Highness, the eldest young master took the second young master, the third young master, and the fifth young master out of the city in a carriage."

"Master Qu followed us. The carcasses of the poisoned animals were loaded onto two flatbed trucks and covered with tarpaulins."

Many details were reported one by one.

Qin Yaoguang nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "The children are becoming more and more methodical in their actions."

Since she arrived at the hot spring villa, she has consciously trained several children, often arranging them to complete a task together, in order to hone their skills and increase their ability to coordinate and cooperate.

The children's growth did not disappoint her.

Eating, living and carrying out tasks together make them not only good brothers who grew up together and have their own strengths, but also a way to build a strong team spirit.

In the original book, Qin Yaoguang was very bothered by Yan Yuanan's final betrayal.

Out of respect for the plot of the original book, she must take precautions before it happens.

Yan Jinyin sat below her and listened to Chunfen's report with sparkling eyes and a look of longing.

She also wanted to be like her brothers, but hated that as a woman, she was oppressed by worldly rules and regulations and could not do many things as she wished.

Sensing her worries, Qin Yaoguang smiled and comforted her: "Sister Yin, we women also have our own battlefield."

Her voice was soft, but had a persuasive power that was as hot as the weather.

"As human beings, men and women are different, but they are good at different things and have different divisions of labor. No one is inferior to anyone else. We are all the same."

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "Men are fighting outside, while women are spinning and weaving at home to make clothes, hats, shoes and socks for them. Military merit is half male and half female, so there is no need to belittle yourself."

Here, she directly changed the memorable lyrics.

Yan Jinyin's heart was overwhelmed when he heard this and he looked at her in a daze.

"Mother, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"you can."

Qin Yaoguang's eyes were gentle and he patted her hands: "You will be their backer and the warmest harbor."

How could the tragedy of brothers and sisters killing each other occur if five children with different destinies have the chance to grow up together?

She doesn't allow it.

"I will work hard."

Yan Jinyin's eyes gradually became firm.

"Master, His Highness Chunning has arrived."

As soon as Chunfen finished speaking, Chunning arrived, but her voice came first: "Imperial sister, do you know that a big thing happened in the court today?"

"It's still about you!"
