833 I Think Highly of You
Steward Zhao was about to die of anger from his two nieces. He slapped Chunhong ruthlessly on the spot. This slap was extremely heavy, causing Chunhong’s teeth to loosen and her mouth to be filled with blood.
“Shut up. When did I say that the Lord wanted to choose secondary consorts and concubines? You were the ones who wanted to be the Lord’s secondary consorts and concubines. You’re crazy about it and are slandering me here.”
“Uncle, have you forgotten? Just three nights ago, you secretly came to look for us sisters and told us in private that the Lord wanted to choose consorts and concubines. You even said that you would work hard to let us be chosen. Have you forgotten all of this?” Chunhong retorted, enduring the intense pain on her face.
“What three nights ago? When did I look for you three nights ago?”
Xue Fanxin could tell that something was wrong, but she realized that there was more to it.
From the looks of it, Steward Zhao did not look like he was lying, and what Chunhong said seemed to be true… Then where did the news of Ah Jiu choosing consorts and concubines come from?

No matter where this news came from, Chunhong and Chunying, these two brainless maidservants, definitely could not stay in the Lord’s Estate, so she could not be bothered to tangle with them. “You can deal with this matter according to the rules. I’m very busy today and don’t have time to…”
Before Xue Fanxin could finish speaking, Heiran suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, she cut off Chunhong and Chunying’s tongues, broke their meridians, and destroyed their dantian. Then, she said coldly, “His Highness’s orders to cut off the tongues of the lowly maidservants that were disrespectful to the Consort and demote them to slave status. They will be sold to mining areas.”
It had happened too suddenly. Chunhong and Chunying had yet to react. They only knew that the pain was intense and that they were about to die. But when they heard Heiran’s words, they were extremely panicked. They wanted to beg for mercy, but their tongues had already been cut, so they could not speak at all.
How had this happened?
A few days ago, their uncle had told them that they had a high chance of becoming the Lord’s secondary consorts and concubines, but today…
At this moment, no one cared about the lives of Chunhong and Chunying. Everyone waited carefully, afraid of being implicated. Even Steward Zhao was so frightened that he took a few steps back, wanting to clear his name.
However, things were not as he thought.
After Heiran announced the punishment for Chunhong and Chunying, she looked at Steward Zhao and said coldly, “His Highness has ordered that Steward Zhao’s position be removed and he be expelled from the Lord’s Estate. He will never be recruited again. The new Steward of the Lord’s Estate will be decided by the Consort.”
“This… This has nothing to do with me. Why are you punishing me?” Steward Zhao asked indignantly.
“Steward Zhao, even if the news that the Lord wanted to choose secondary consorts and concubines did not come from you, you already knew. You also know what your two nieces are thinking, but you ignored this matter and allowed them to lord over the Lord’s Estate. This is your negligence. When you do things in the Lord’s Estate, you’d best be honest and do your job. Don’t daydream too much, or you’ll have to get lost.”
Hearing Heiran’s words, Steward Zhao sat on the ground with a pale face, feeling extremely desperate.
“Someone, drag these two sluts out and sell them in the mining area,” Heiran ordered coldly, her words were emotionless.
Chunhong and Chunying were dragged out just like that, and even Steward Zhao was no exception.
Xue Fanxin only shrugged indifferently, not caring about the lives of these people at all. She looked at Hao and smiled. “Uncle Hao, you can take the position of the Lord’s Estate’s steward. I think highly of you.”
“Ah?” Hao was stunned. By the time he reacted, Xue Fanxin had already left.
Why had he suddenly become the steward?
