After the butler returned to the hall, he appeared as usual, as if he hadn't been reprimanded at all. It wasn't until Xia Yihan returned to the group that the butler spoke in a business-like manner: 'Mr. Ye is going to have a noon rest, you all go and clean the backyard garden now.' Upon arriving at the backyard garden, he assigned the task of weeding to Xia Yihan, while Liu Xiaojiao and Jiujiu were tasked with washing the pathways. 'You three, follow me!' The butler called Fang Lina, Zhao Tianai, and Sun Mengmeng to a dead corner not visible to the surveillance cameras, and only then did his face turn gloomy. Fang Lina had always wanted to know if the butler had been scolded severely, and whether Xia Yihan had once again tried to seduce the young master. Finally, with only their own people left, she immediately spoke up, but was stopped by the butler's stern voice after just two words. 'How could you be so foolish? Do you not think before you speak?' Fang Lina's face turned red from the scolding, and Zhao Tianai quickly said, 'Lina, you were a bit impulsive today, how could you casually mention the butler's nephew's affairs, it makes things difficult for him, doesn't it?' Zhao Tianai didn't point this out to Fang Lina alone, intending to emphasize it in front of the butler. Sure enough, the butler looked at her with some approval, frowning as he said, 'You should really learn from Tianai, she speaks with a sense of propriety. You three, do not make things difficult for Xia Yihan again in the future.' 'What? Really? Butler, she caused you to be scolded today, and you're just going to let her off? Look at us, we're all well-behaved, only she is dishonest, and even tried to seduce Mr. Ye right under your nose.' Fang Lina became anxious. 'Nana, don't worry, go back and think about what the butler means.'

Zhao Tianai tugged at Fang Lina's skirt and said. "Um!" The butler nodded, waving at them. "It's hot at noon, you all go back to the dormitory and rest for an hour." "Thank you, butler!" The three of them said in unison. The butler glanced at the big sun overhead, then looked in the direction of Xia Yihan, curling his lips coldly. At this moment, Zhao Tianai was whispering an explanation to Fang Lina. "What the butler means is, we shouldn't be so obvious in dealing with Xia Yihan. Actually, there are plenty of ways to deal with her. Like now, it's so hot, we go to rest, and she has to stay there pulling weeds." So that's how it is, Fang Lina felt that her mind was indeed not as sharp as Zhao Tianai's. It's almost August, it's probably a little past one in the afternoon, the hot sun has wilted the leaves and flowers, curling up their edges. The cicadas kept making irritating squeaking sounds, Xia Yihan felt the bright light in front of her was dazzling, her head gradually became dizzy, and her feet began to feel weak. The butler sat in the cool pavilion, watching Xia Yihan, seeing her movements gradually slow down, her hand occasionally supporting her forehead, he felt it was about time, and went over to tell her to stop. Xia Yihan's fair skin had already turned red, and it was expected that it would not be long before it turned dark, figuring that the Crown Prince would not fancy a dark-skinned girl. "Liu Xiaojiao, Jiujiu, you stop too. You two rest for fifteen minutes and then go to the gym to clean up, Xia Yihan, you go and clean up now." "Okay!"

Xia Yihan responded softly, casting an apologetic glance at Jiu Jiu and Liu Xiaojiao before quickening her pace to the gym alone. She felt dizzy and nauseous from the heat, fully aware that the butler was deliberately making her uncomfortable. 'Xiao Jun, I can definitely hold on, don't worry about me!' The butler seemed afraid she would slack off; as soon as she arrived, he followed her in, sitting in a chair by the wall, watching her intently. 'Here, there's still dust, be more careful!' he ordered imperiously, tapping his foot on the ground. In places where Ye Zimo was expected to appear, the floor could not be mopped with a rag; it had to be wiped clean by hand with a very clean cloth. Xia Yihan squatted down in front of the butler, humbly wiping the floor, the sense of humiliation of being belittled cutting deep into her heart. He really wanted to kick her hard, but unfortunately, he dared not, so he could only resort to underhanded tactics to torment her secretly. He didn't believe that a woman could have much endurance, and even if it was for marrying the Crown Prince, she wouldn't be able to withstand it.
