Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 390 Night Visit to the Earl's Mansion

"A very ordinary appearance, his build is quite similar to Uncle Ge's, but his skin is fairer, he has a square face, a goatee, and a black mole about the size of a thumb's pad." Shen Hu thought for a moment, then pointed to the left side of his neck, "If it were winter and the collar of his clothes was thick, you wouldn't be able to see it, but now that it's hot and the collar is low, it's showing..."

Yunyi quickly drew the outline, then asked about the shape of the eyes, nose, and mouth. Before long, a face appeared on the paper: "Is this how you see it?"

"Boss, you're amazing." Shen Hu's eyes widened in surprise. "Almost there, but... that guy's nose is a bit wider, and his eyes droop a little... Yes, that's it."

"Then you should send people to search. Once you find them, don't alert them. Just keep an eye on them." Yunyi handed the portrait to Shen Hu. "No matter what you see, don't make any rash moves. Tell everyone to protect themselves."

"Okay." Shen Hu nodded and put the portrait into his pocket.

"Let's eat quickly." Yunyi picked up her chopsticks again.

Soon, dinner was finished, and Aunt Ge quickly came in to clear away the dishes and then made tea and brought it over.

"Boss, the Grand Princess doesn't know about our relationship. We're both working in the capital right now, what if..."

"You don't need to worry about that." Yun Yi pondered for a moment. "I'm back now, and I'll handle it."

Just then, Uncle Ge brought in a note, which Shen Hu read and then handed to Yun Yi.

Yunyi glanced at it and laughed: "Let them keep a close eye on things and see just how far my cheapskate father can go."

"Boss, are you really... the eldest daughter of the Earl's mansion?" Shen Long suddenly asked cautiously.

"Not like?"

"No, it's just... these past few days in the capital, we've heard some things about the eldest daughter of the Earl's family, and we always feel..." Shen Long scratched his head, feeling that they weren't talking about the same person.

"Don't you feel like you're not alone?"

The two nodded vigorously.

Looking at their eager eyes, Yunyi sighed softly, "Before, I was blind and thought everyone was a good person. My mother was beautiful, rich, and capable, but after marrying my father, she was tortured and abused. Later, she was falsely accused of having an affair with a servant, and then she jumped into the river to prove her innocence. It's a pity that after she died, my scumbag father showed no grief whatsoever. He immediately promoted his favorite concubine to the position of wife. However, I was engaged to the Third Prince, which blocked his daughter's path. So, I was tricked and drugged by my personal maid, and then sold to a slave trader..."

Shen Long and Shen Hu were furious upon hearing this, and even clenched their fists.

"My mother always told me to hide my talents because my maternal grandparents' family is very powerful, and she was afraid that my success would attract unwanted attention. But after dying once, I realized that sometimes hiding your talents can't protect you. Fortunately, the Xia family is good, so I planned to live there for the rest of my life. Who knew that my scumbag father would find out that I didn't die and start plotting against me again? Since that's the case, I'll come back to see what's going on and maybe get some revenge."

The two men's eyes lit up: "Boss, you're right, we have to get revenge. You have to tell us what you need us to do in the future."

"Don't worry, I won't let you sit idle." Yunyi waved her hand. "You are the first batch of people to follow me, and you will be my right-hand men from now on."

"Yeah." Shen Hu nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, we brothers aren't the petty thugs we used to be. We'll definitely work hard to move up." Only by moving up can we be of use to the boss; otherwise, we'll probably be eliminated soon.

That night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Yunyi got up and changed into her night clothes.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Yunlu standing there, already dressed in her night clothes.

"Young Miss, I am your maid now, you can't leave me behind and act alone."

"Alright, let's go together then." Yunyi didn't refuse, and led Yunlu out of the courtyard, heading straight for the Chengen Earl's residence.

Yunlu was assigned to keep watch outside, while Yunyi went to Fangtang's study with ease and found the light on. Fangtang was sitting in a chair, seemingly waiting for someone.

When Fang Tang returned today and learned that his eldest daughter had left again after coming back, he flew into a rage and even placed Sun Qingli under house arrest.

Then they sent people everywhere to look for Yunyi, but unfortunately they couldn't find her.

Poor Steward Fang had just returned exhausted from his journey and hadn't even had a chance to rest before heading out again with his men to look for someone. Now it was past midnight, and there was nowhere left to look. Continuing to linger on the streets might attract the attention of the Five Cities Garrison, so he could only return dejectedly.

"Didn't find it?" Fang Tang was still awake, waiting for news.

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency, but I cannot." Fang Zhong knelt on the ground. "This old servant is incompetent."

Soon, Su Mu returned, also empty-handed.

"Useless!" Fang Tang slammed his hand on the table. "Why did you let her go?"

Fang was suffering inside. He only had one housekeeper, what could he do?

"A good-for-nothing who's more trouble than he's worth." A murderous glint flashed in Fang Tang's eyes as he got up and went to Qingli Courtyard.

Yunyi followed silently.

Sun Qingli was feeling wronged when she saw Fang Tang return. She ignored him, just lowered her head and sobbed, waiting for the man to comfort her. But as soon as Fang Tang entered the door, he slapped her across the face.

"Lord?" Sun Qingli was stunned by the slap, covering her face in disbelief as she looked at Fang Tang. "You...you hit me?"

"What can you do? Do you know that if we can't find her, we'll all die?" Fang Tang grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up, his eyes full of ruthlessness.

"How was I supposed to know she had such a temper? If she didn't like that courtyard, she could have just moved it. Who knew she would..."

"She is the eldest daughter of the Fang family, the legitimate eldest daughter. You know very well how she disappeared back then, and I've already let it go. But you shouldn't have been so clever and ruined my plans. She's the one the Emperor wants, understand?"

Although the voice was deliberately lowered, Yunyi could still hear it clearly and couldn't help but frown. The Emperor wanted her? Did Fang Tang want to become the Emperor's father-in-law? This was interesting.

Sun Qingli was genuinely frightened upon hearing this: "My lord, what should we do? We can send someone to look again tomorrow. They've only been gone for such a short time, and we don't have any money..."

Fang Tang took a deep breath and threw her onto the bed: "Sun Qingli, remember your place from now on. I can make you the official wife or I can ruin you. Whether the Marquis's mansion has you or not makes no difference, understand?"

"My lord, I understand."

"When Yunyi comes back, you'd better keep a low profile, or I'll kill you." Fang Tang said, then turned and left.

Sun Qingli was furious, angry, and scared. In the end, she smashed all the teaware on the table before she stopped.
