Ye Shiqi was already able to use her space to scout the areas within a radius of over a hundred ters around her, allowing her to see whatever she wished to see there.
She also stored the dicines from the warehouse in her space and noticed that within the hundred-ter radius, the roof and beams seed to breathe faintly.
At first, she thought it was the breathing sounds of workers sleeping.
Later, she realized there was no one around the warehouse, and even the residential areas had faint breathing sounds.
Ye Shiqi beca alert, fearing that these people were there to steal things.
The supplies in the warehouse had just been delivered, they could not be stolen, let alone be set on fire by soone.
She also feared that so of these people harbored ill intentions, as her several elder sisters, uncles, relatives, neighbors, and workers all lived in her house.
With this realization, Ye Shiqi originally did not intend to store other supplies in her space, but to prevent others from causing mischief, she moved all the donated supplies and the previously stored food and other items into her space.
Ever since the last incident where all the grain remained on the land without the possibility of cultivation, and then after a day,
which is after they had bought the house, another hundred acres of land suddenly appeared in her space. With these new acres, she could cultivate again and was able to transform the many supplies they bought back into quilts, which she also unknowingly stored in her space.
Now her space had beco several large warehouses filled with food, quilts, and other items, each brimming to capacity.
This ti, she added so many supplies that another large warehouse was filled.
The herbs turned into dicine would take up less space in the pile.
After Ye Shiqi finished storing the supplies, she beca worried about her sisters’ safety and ca out of the bathroom to look for Li Zhihao with the help of a maid.
After Li Zhihao had the workers move the goods, he asked them to go back to bathe and sleep, and he too returned to his residence.
He had just checked on his young son, who was sleeping soundly, and was preparing to wash up and go to bed himself when a servant at the door ntioned that the maid of the young Lady was looking for him.
Li Zhihao then went over to Ye Shiqi’s courtyard, aware that it was improper for an outsider male to visit his niece’s courtyard.
Fortunately, the niece was still young, but it would not be appropriate for him to co here in the middle of the night if she were any older.
Ye Shiqi was waiting in the living room for Li Zhihao and beckoned him mysteriously as she saw him enter.
Li Zhihao was about to speak loudly when he was silenced by his niece’s gestures.
"Shh, speak softly, walls have ears."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhihao’s expression turned serious and cautious.
"Who are they?"
"I don’t know. There are too many people in Capital City spying on our family. I’m worried about the safety of the elder sisters and have also moved the warehouse’s goods."
"Hmm, I’ll instruct people to be vigilant and patrol!"
"Good, Uncle, you also be careful, and don’t leave Little Cousin alone there to sleep, arrange for soone to look after him."
"Hmm, got it!"
Li Zhihao hurriedly left to make arrangents. During the day, they could relax their vigilance slightly, but at night, whether they slept or took turns standing watch, they had to ensure the safety of the girls and everyone in the house.
After her uncle left, Ye Shiqi returned to her room and instructed the maids by her side to be more alert before she herself went back to her room alone.
Following her orders, the maids and old won in her courtyard also vigilantly took turns on night shifts.
The spies hiding in the Ye Residence noticed that the patrols and guard had beco much stricter, leaving them almost nowhere to hide.
Ye Shiqi entered her room and went into her space to make dicine, but also used the space to stay alert to the activities outside.
Finally, when she beca tired from making dicines, she lay down on a large bed in the space to sleep.
Nothing happened overnight, and at dawn, Ye Shiqi’s biological clock woke her up with a movent in the bed within the space.
When the maids outside heard the noise, they then ca in through the door.
"Lady, you’re awake," Yu Ye said as she brought in a basin of wash water.
After she entered, two maids ca in, went into the Lady’s bathroom, and carried out the bathwater from last night.
With the help of her maids, Ye Shiqi washed her face and then they dressed and made her up.
Just after she was dressed and made up, her three elder sisters all ca in.
"Wow, looking so pretty, our Beauty has woken up!"
Third Sister’s teasing made the other two sisters laugh along.
"You three elder sisters only know how to make fun of . Who doesn’t know how beautifully ethereal our three sisters are? So, why are you up so early, my beautifully ethereal elder sisters?"
The three elder sisters of Ye Shiqi were standing by her side. The eldest sister said:
"There was so much noise last night, and people got up so early this morning. How could we not be early?"
Second Sister followed, saying:
"It’s far less safe here than in the countryside! We can’t even sleep soundly at night!"
Third Sister also added, "Those people are just too wicked."
Ye Shiqi shook her head and smiled. "The insecurity cos from living in the Ye family’s house. Just be cautious, and there’s no need for too much worry."
Ye Shiqi’s reassuring words eased her sisters a bit. They were used to relying on their youngest sister as their mainstay.
...
The Heir of Marquis Yongbo, Ye Haohuan, had stayed a night in the house; in the morning, he went to pay his respects to his elders, only to be greeted by their sneers.
Even his parents frowned upon him.
Then ca the ridicule from his siblings.
His half-brother, the son of a concubine, always had grievances against him since none of the concubine’s sons could beco the Princely Heir.
It was only because Ye Haohuan was born of the legitimate wife. He also had a sister.
"Silly big Princely Heir, my generous brother, oh how prodigal you are! The wealth of our family is not so easily given to others. My dear brother, did you even ask our parents?"
As soon as these words from the illegitimate brother fell, the other illegitimate brothers began to jeer at him in unison.
Heir of Marquis Yongbo, Ye Haohuan... goddamn idiot, it’s you lot who are the true fools to be manipulated by a young girl. Just because she called him a big silly fellow you thought you could catch him out, are any of you as clever as the big silly fellow?
No matter what, the big silly fellow is still the Heir. Do you have the status to criticize him?
Moreover, is this wealth even from our family?
The mother of Heir Yongbo, Ye Haohuan, had no words as she looked on gloomily, while those temptresses covered their mouths and laughed. The sons of those temptresses spoke about her son in such a manner, and her heart was afla with anger.
As a father, to indulge the sons of a concubine in such treatnt of the Princely Heir was not really a sign of affection for the Heir.
It was simply because the father and son were not on the sa side.
The father supported the Emperor, the son supported the thirteenth Prince, and which Prince the illegitimate sons supported was hard to say.
In one family, if every man supports a different team, the family becos very complicated.
"Haoxuan, why donate money and supplies to a young girl?"
Upon hearing their father ask this, the illegitimate son, with a sneer, said: "Perhaps our Heir has taken a fancy to the farr girl heiress of the Ye family."
Heir of Marquis Yongbo, Ye Haohuan, was questioned by his father and mocked by his brothers, and he glanced at his silent mother.
"I see you’re no better than those farr girls. They’re so young, yet they have so much property. Do you?"
Being made fun of as the eldest brother, of course the only real sister had to stand up for her big brother.
