The housing was settled, and some servants were still needed.
Yan Wanqing sent Cong Ge to the market to look for servant brokers to hire or buy some maids and manservants.
Cong Ge, an experienced hand who had followed Yan Wanqing through her adventures, was proficient in these matters. He soon returned with people. These maids and manservants were nimble, and upon their return, they began to clean up the overgrown courtyard, confident that it would be ready for occupancy by evening.
Yan Lingzhen was also busy. She had chosen a room she liked for her treasured herbs and set it up as a pharmacy, then began to organize everything energetically.
Shen Shuyun took on the role of housekeeper directly, commanding the maids and manservants to clean, and then took a few people out to purchase daily necessities. Meanwhile, she made a trip to the Marquis Residence to pack up their belongings and bring them back.
Just as they finished packing, footsteps were heard at the door.
