"Considering for you? Why don't you consider us? You've been out with the young master all day, and he's taken a liking to someone. We haven't heard a peep, and the person has already entered the household, and we're still kept in the dark. Tell me, do you even have us in your eyes?" The leading madam looked at them with a face full of complaints. It was all because these servants were not diligent enough and did not stop them in time, which led to the two of them meeting.
The hidden guards unconsciously raised their eyes. Although they had long been trained to show no expression, they couldn't help but be surprised. They didn't expect the madams to misunderstand and think the person inside was the new madam. Just as they were about to speak, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
"The madams want to see me?" Chen Renjie walked out, deliberately looking at them with a puzzled expression.
"Who are you? How can you be in this courtyard? A man and a woman alone in a room, won't this damage our prince's mansion's reputation? No, I must tell the young master quickly so he can figure out a solution." Saying this, the leading woman quickly turned and walked towards Yang Hanye's study with a furious expression.
The other madams were stunned by this sudden turn of events and didn't know what to do. Chen Renjie, however, suddenly burst into laughter. Although his status in the Chen family was not prominent, his appearance inherited his mother's exceptionally handsome looks, making these women, who had not seen many men other than the young master, blush uncontrollably, thinking how handsome this young master was.
"I don't know why this young master is laughing. Have we sisters done something wrong?" A madam in a goose-yellow dress, the first to react, quickly asked.
"Laughing at how foolish you are for staying here. Don't you feel awkward? The madam who just left is truly clever. The moment she realized her mistake, she quickly slipped away, leaving you all here to face me foolishly. If my guess is correct, she's already reached the young master's study and might even be speaking ill of you. I am a distinguished guest invited by the young master, and offending me is the same as offending the young master. You better fend for yourselves." Chen Renjie smiled at them, kindly clarifying the situation.
The women looked at each other. Knowing their eldest madam, such a thing was quite possible. Therefore, they all forgot their original purpose and rushed towards the young master's study, wanting to explain that they were instigated.
Yang Hanye watched as the madams, ignoring the obstruction from outside, rushed to him with all their might, babbling their explanations. His ears buzzed, and he suddenly felt that having too many women in the back courtyard was not a good thing. After listening for a long time without understanding what they were saying, he finally impatiently slammed the table.
The room instantly fell silent. He said angrily, "No one is allowed in my study. There are many documents here. If even one is lost, I will have reasonable suspicion that you are spies sent by someone else. I will bear the responsibility for everything in the prince's mansion, and you only need to be beautiful. Just be good madams and live peacefully."
"But we really didn't mean to disturb the guest in the courtyard. The eldest madam said there was a new person in the courtyard and asked us all to go teach him a lesson and give him a show of our power so he would be respectful to us from now on. We didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding. When we opened the door, we saw a man, and he even claimed to be the young master's friend. We've lost so much face this time." The woman in the goose-yellow dress, eager to clear her name, quickly explained.
Only then did Yang Hanye piece together a general idea of what had happened. The thought of Wu Caiwei mocking him made him feel a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected that simply bringing Chen Renjie back from outside would cause such a big mess. However, to be honest, not many people entered from the back door and wore veils, so it was understandable that they had misunderstood.
Thinking about the difference between his own women and Wu Caiwei, he felt that as women, why was there such a big difference? If the situation were reversed, she would definitely treat it with an indifferent attitude, even chatting and laughing with the other party. To be honest, every time he saw her, Yang Hanye felt he learned a lot from her and his mind became more open.
"This time, it's fine. If you fight over favor and disturb my guests again next time, don't blame me for driving you out." Although Yang Hanye didn't take this matter to heart, there were still some men living in the mansion, and they couldn't be a laughingstock every day. He had to let them know the consequences, have some scruples, be more low-key in their actions, and not be used by others.
The women had never seen the young master's expression so stern. They nodded repeatedly, feeling that if the young master continued to speak, tears would fall from their eyes. They had never been so humiliated in their lives. The women left with dejected faces. The eldest madam, who had left first, got the news and happily cracked melon seeds and ate peanuts in her room. Those fools never thought before they acted, and they deserved to be played around by her.
However, there were also benefits from this incident. Although he was still alone in the courtyard, with occasional cleaning maids, everyone was willing to go to his courtyard. The main reason was that everyone said this young master was the most handsome man they had ever seen, which piqued their curiosity to see him. Thus, a strange phenomenon occurred. Chen Renjie found that the people working in his courtyard were never the same people. He had always been indifferent to such matters, as long as the hygiene of the courtyard was maintained.
Wu Caiwei, who had been living in the mansion for a long time, soon received the news and shook her head helplessly. Although in this life, his health was not very optimistic, his appearance was truly exceptional. If the young ladies knew that the person in his heart was her, the old woman whose granddaughter had grown up so much in the eyes of outsiders, she didn't know how sad and disappointed they would be.

Chen Renjie learned what she was thinking and looked at her with doting eyes, feeling that his old wife was becoming more and more lovable and younger. Although they would inevitably be talked about when they were together in the future, after so many lifetimes, why would they care about these things anymore?
Thus, people discovered a strange phenomenon: the madam living in the mansion liked to visit this mysterious young master whenever she had time. At first, they didn't think about their relationship in that way, as the age difference between them was too great, and they looked nothing like a couple. But to everyone's surprise, the young master always looked at her with eyes so sweet they could kill, giving people the illusion that they were lovers in a passionate romance.
He Sheng, upon hearing the rumors, initially didn't believe them. But with the encouragement of others, he observed for a few days and found something amiss. He couldn't help but feel a little alarmed. Could his mother truly be involved with this young master as they thought? He didn't consider her age, while he was young with a promising future. What could she gain by being with him? It was nothing more than wanting to swindle her money and valuables.
