After Dugu Yueli took charge of Ke Manor.
Including Attendant Li, Li Fugui, a total of six servants who had fled into the city stood together in the courtyard.
Dugu Yueli cleared her throat, imitating the manner of a young lady. She gave only a few instructions before dismissing everyone, without making too many harsh demands or setting rules on the spot.
Only then did everyone let out a breath of relief!
"Li Fugui, is that woman really the Fifth Miss?" A man dressed in coarse cloth approached Attendant Li from behind and asked.
Li Fugui's expression changed as he sternly rebuked him, "Bastard! Who is Li Fugui? I am now an attendant of this manor. My original name is Li Caijun... If you don't want anyone to discover that our identities are fake, keep your mouth shut!"
After being scolded, the man's expression turned ugly, but he still had no choice but to lower his head. "My mistake, Attendant Li!"
"Ah! What you just asked was nonsense anyway. The Fifth Miss is an illegitimate daughter who was raised in an estate outside the city from childhood. Have you ever seen her? Have I?"
"Even if she is impersonating someone just like us, we still have to treat her as the real thing! Ke Manor is now deserted. We returned by assuming these identities, and once members of the Ke Clan return, we will be exposed. But we cannot do without members of the Ke Clan either!
This is Ke Manor, after all—the Ke family's territory... We are merely servants. Sooner or later, we will have to make room for our masters.
The Fifth Miss arrived at just the right time. She does not recognize any of us anyway, and that new City Lord personally escorted her to the manor.
