The fairy's inner demons are amazing!

Chapter 21 Deception

Clearly, this arrogant young maid, only fifteen or sixteen years old, was unaware of the current situation.

She thought it would be the same as before, that she could say bad things about anyone she didn't like without restraint in front of the young lady, thus gaining the upper hand.

She didn't understand; the young lady was simply too lazy to bother with it.

She couldn't understand that this seemingly filthy little stable boy in front of her had now taken control of her mistress's life and was now her mistress's master.

Faced with Ye Ya's fury, Ning Xiuyang remained calm and ignored her, instead looking at He Sanxiang and saying, "Since Miss has given the orders, what are you waiting for?"

"Master..."

He Sanxiang hesitated for a moment.

After all, Ye Ya is someone close to Miss, so she would never betray her. It would be a bit inappropriate to even go after her.

"Isn't she a maid from the Martial Arts Academy?" Ning Xiuyang raised an eyebrow and asked casually.

"yes!"

He Sanxiang immediately composed himself, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then waved his hand, beckoning two guards over. He looked at Ye Ya, saying with difficulty, "Sister Ya, I'm sorry, but this is also Miss's order!"

Facing two menacing, tall guards, a hint of fear flickered in Ye Ya's eyes. She rose from her chair and went inside to kneel with the other maids and servants, but she still couldn't resist shouting.

"Hmph, you just wait! You'll regret this when Miss returns!"

Ning Xiuyang glanced at her indifferently, then turned back to He Sanxiang and the others and said, "Investigate them separately. Find those who left the Martial Arts Academy and the Ye residence today."

"yes!"

With Ning Xiuyang's order, apart from the two guards who were with Ye Yin, the remaining guards, under He Sanxiang's arrangement, began to question the dozen or so maids and servants in the courtyard.

Ning Xiuyang sat in the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and then sipped it contentedly.

Not long after.

The results were then obtained.

The three were brought before Ning Xiuyang.

"Sir, the screening has been completed. All three of them left the manor between yesterday's death of Li Yunping and today's body delivery. In addition, a few others left the Martial Music Academy."

Ning Xiuyang put down his teacup and looked up at the three people in front of him.

Ye Yin's personal maid is Ye Ya, the kitchen is in charge of purchasing ingredients, and Granny Li is in charge of needlework.

"Tell me, where did you all go after leaving the manor?"

Ning Xiuyang flicked his robe and asked.

"Reporting to the master, I go out to buy some ingredients every day at noon to prepare for Miss's dinner and supper. This is the shopping list."

Old Xiao respectfully handed over the form, his hands trembling slightly.

Ning Xiuyang took it and glanced at it, then asked, "You didn't go anywhere else along the way?"

"No, no, I always buy my food from Jiang's butcher shop and a few vegetable stalls nearby, and today is no exception. The manager can send someone to check."

Ning Xiuyang raised an eyebrow and looked at Granny Li.

Her duties within the manor were relatively leisurely, and being old and frail, she was the least likely to need to leave the manor. She usually stayed inside the manor to sew and mend clothes for her mistress.

More importantly, her surname is Li.

Generally, long-serving servants in the Ye household would be bestowed a surname by their master.

But unfortunately, her surname is still the same as before.

"A few days ago, Huang's Silk Shop imported several bolts of top-quality black ice silk from Zhou Guoxin. The stockings made from this material are the favorite of young ladies. I placed an order and went to pick them up last night. This is Huang's receipt list. Please check it, sir."

Reasonable.

Ning Xiuyang frowned and gave Granny Li a deep look.

Immediately, he looked at the leaf bud.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just doing this for Miss. You think you're qualified to ask me anything?"

Ye Ya was clearly still very unconvinced.

However, when faced with Ning Xiuyang's extremely aggressive gaze, a hint of guilt flashed across her face, her eyes flickered, and then she stiffened her neck, replacing her guilt with arrogance.

Seeing the evasive expression on his personal maid's face, Ning Xiuyang knew that Granny Li had nothing to do with it.

He didn't say anything, but slowly folded the two forms together and put them in his pocket.

Then, he stood up.

"I'm sure the three of you know why you've all been detained today. Someone tipped off the Li family. It's really not a big deal. The Li family is nothing special. Li Huailin is already dead at my hands, so why should I care about this tipping off? You all agree, right?"

Ning Xiuyang spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the faces of the three people in front of him.

Behind.

The detained servants and maids finally understood the reason, and the resentment in their eyes when they looked at Ning Xiuyang immediately disappeared.

Old Xiao and Granny Li both looked bewildered.

Ye Ya, however, showed a clear hint of joy in her eyes, but immediately lost her composure and said, "You've already killed them, what are you asking now?"

"All the maids and servants in my Martial Arts Academy are loyal to Miss. She hasn't said anything, so what right do you, a mere supervisor who's only been in office for less than two days, have to give orders and even detain me? Wait until Miss returns, and I'll make you regret it! Humph!"

"Snapped!"

Sudden.

A crisp, loud slap silenced the entire side room so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

scare!

Behind them, a group of maids and servants stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

Although Ya'er is young, she is arrogant because she is the young lady's personal maid. Not only in the Wuyin Academy, but also in the entire Ye family, many servants fear her like a tiger.

She was always obedient and sensible in front of her master, but in front of the servants, she relied on her status to be bossy and arrogant.

Even Ye Shun, who was in charge before, treated her with great courtesy, afraid of offending her.

Unexpectedly, this newly appointed official, who had been in office for less than a day, dared to hit her.

This is a huge mess!

Given Sister Ya's vengeful nature, I'm afraid she won't be in charge for long!

For a moment, the servants looked at Ning Xiuyang with pity in their eyes.

He Sanxiang and the others were clearly aware of Ye Ya's arrogance, and their expressions changed as well.

"You, you dare hit me!?"

With a slap, Ye Ya stumbled and her beautiful face quickly swelled up. It took her a long time to react. She glared at Ning Xiuyang, seemingly unable to believe that this stable boy, who had only been in office for less than two days, would dare to hit her. She was filled with unexpected anger.

Ning Xiuyang merely glanced at her indifferently before continuing, "Although it's not a big deal, such treacherous behavior is something neither Miss nor I will allow."

"Ye Ya, you're right, aren't you?"

Ning Xiuyang squatted down, looked at Ye Ya who was sitting on the ground, furious, grinned, revealing a few big white teeth, and looked harmless.

You bastard!

Ye Ya avoided eye contact and didn't respond. Instead, she started to throw a tantrum and tried to grab Ning Xiuyang's collar to fight.

But Ning Xiuyang easily dodged it.

"Since you are so stubborn, there is no other way but to confront him. Fortunately, the Li family is not completely wiped out, and we have subdued the guy who tipped us off."

Ning Xiuyang smiled knowingly, patted Ye Ya's guilty little face, and then glanced at He Sanxiang.

He Sanxiang nodded knowingly and immediately said to the other two guards, "Go and bring up the person from the Li family who bought the information."
