"Good to know . I'm ordering you to pack you bag and move out as soon as Zero's training ends . You have to look for a new job and quit your work as the Head Butler within fifteen days . " Qi Ying might look tired but her words were very clear to hear .
However, for the first time Noel thought that he heard wrong . He couldn't help but ask, "Pardon?"
He was utterly speechless, completely dumbfounded . He was working for decades . He never made a single mistake and worked diligently . He never took days off, until recently . However, the new Mistress of the Mu Household seemed to be mad at him for some reason and was trying to fire him unjustly .
Qi Ying cleared the misunderstanding . "It's not the way you think it is . You have been working here for two generations from young age . Mu Family is very grateful to you . However, we have been observing that you don't spend so much time for yourself . You keep working . I know that it's because you love working, but we are not heartless enough to take all your youth and middle age . Go out there, do something, have some fun . You have a life and you cannot spend it only working . Enjoy the world with all you have left . That's why I want you to go to early retirement . You can use our reference wherever you want . If you want we can look for a proper job for you, but judging by your character you won't take that . But if you ever need shelter, you have us . "
Noel took quite some time to stomach her words . His lips trembled when he asked, "Is there any chance for me to live here?"
Qi Ying replied, "You can live in the town with other servants . Since you won't be working here, you cannot live in the castle . "
Noel was still having a hard time to believe everything .

Qi Ying continued, "Remember that it's an early retirement for you to have a meaningful life, not that you made any mistakes . "
Noel spoke in a mild tone, "…I understand . "
Qi Ying pushed a file towards him . "Here, there are some materials for you . I got an information about you looking for a flat . I have a good suggestion for you . Please check it . If you like the apartment, the Mu Family will personally give it to you as a present . Though it's nothing compare to what you have done for the Mu Family, we still wanted to give it to you . I hope you don't mind . "
Noel opened the folder an read the documents . His frowned while reading . Feeling suspicious, he turned over the page and saw some photos . He was dumbstruck .
"This is…" He wasn't sure what to say .
Qi Ying, "Do you like it? Do you have any complaints?"
"…I like it . I don't have any problem . " Noel spoke but his mind was somewhere else as if he was dreaming .
Qi Ying smiled lightly . "Excellent! The interior designer will meet you in the apartment tomorrow afternoon . Leave the expenses to the Mu Family . You can go now . "
"…Yes, Madam Mu . Good night . " Noel bowed .
"Good night to you too . " Qi Ying said . After he left the room, she called Mu Lan .
Mu Lan answered the call . "How did everything go?"
"It went smoothly . I memorized the script you gave me and said the exact same thing . He didn't doubt me . He seemed shocked and puzzled though . He must be sad . " Qi Ying felt bad for him .
Mu Lan brushed it off . "Don't worry about it . To get something, you have to lose something . This is the rule of the world . Xiao Ying, go to sleep . We have works to do tomorrow . We need to gather strength . "
"Alright then . Sweet dreams . " Qi Ying yawned .
"Sweet dreams!" Mu Lan hung up . After that, she rubbed her temples . She was suffering from a headache .
Beside her, Mu Liang was sitting silently, deep in thought .
She hugged him and said in a spoiled tone, "What are you thinking so much? I really did nothing wrong . "
In the end, Mu Liang opened his mouth to say, "The problem is mother doesn't have any romantic affection for him . Do you think it will be alright?"
Mu Lan sat on his lap and told him, "You don't understand women . Those vulnerable women who suffered a lot in the past, when they find out that they have a hero who saves them secretly because he is deeply in love with them, they are destined to fall for that man . And Noel is a gentleman . He will never make the first move . The only thing he needs a little push from my dearest mother-in-law . "
"And how are you going to manage mother?" Mu Liang asked .
Mu Lan gave him a sweet smile . "Certainly, I need my husband for that . "
Only then Mu Liang understood that he fell on her trap . He sighed aloud . In his heart, he couldn't help but praise his wifey .
-------------
The next morning, Mu Lan woke up earlier and sneaked off from the bedroom after changing her pajamas . Then, she went out for a morning walk . After that, she freshened up and went to a restaurant near Jing Sheng's apartment . She was waiting to follow Jing Sheng from here .
