Days passed quite peacefully in the residence after Qu Xing Xu's return. Every servant and maid had already known long before that they must never intrude into the main courtyard unless they were ordered to or called to go there by their masters. However, there were still some maids who were bolder than the ones before and desired to seduce their masters.
However, before they could even step into the main courtyard, Gu Yan would pick them all up from the ground as if they were unwanted roots he had to pull out to not damage the rice field he had worked hard to grow. All these maids ended up disappearing all of a sudden and never returning.
Those who knew these maids and learned of their disappearance never spoke or mentioned their names. They were afraid that just saying their names would make them turn into accomplices.
