Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

"Please give this letter to the young master."

Inside the courtyard, Chen Shisheng handed a written letter to a servant in the Internal Affairs Department.

"well."

The servant's voice was stiff and a little nervous.

He had just been plotting against this person with Manager Liu, and now that they were in contact again, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Thank you.

Chen Shisheng thanked him, handed over a tael of silver, and then turned and left the Internal Affairs Hall.

The reason he wrote and submitted an additional letter was that he felt it was better for him to explain the entire process of the incident himself.

It's just a letter anyway, it won't take much time.

He believed that with his achievements, and given his mention in the letter that he had broken through the Bone Forging Realm, being transferred back to Wuhe City would definitely not be a problem.

Now he just needs to go back and wait for news, and he also needs to go back and tidy up his house, since he will have to come back to live there eventually.

......

As evening approached, the sky darkened.

The rain lessened, with only a few scattered drops falling.

The full moon freely casts its light, each ray a soft and bright blue glow, like a cleansed reflection.

Inside the Imperial Household Hall.

"Is that all the business for today?"

A beautiful young woman sat upright in the main seat, with stacks of letters in front of her.

She was beautiful, wearing a light green belted long dress and white shoes, revealing half of her fair legs, which aroused people's imagination.

Her name is Jiang Yue'er, and she is the personal maid of Wen Fengling, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, who has accompanied her since childhood.

The Wen family head has a son and a daughter, both of whom are heirs and each share the responsibilities of managing the family affairs.

The two of them personally oversaw the Internal Affairs Hall, the place responsible for military personnel, almost every day.

Firstly, it allows them to familiarize themselves with the entire Wen family's affairs process and accumulate experience in handling such matters.

Secondly, it is about recruiting talented individuals, especially skilled martial artists.

The likes of Zhu You and Zhou Qing were selected by the Second Young Master Wen through his vigorous recruitment of retainers and followers and the implementation of a new method of talent selection.

"Exactly."

The servant hurriedly said, but secretly placed several letters at the bottom.

Jiang Yue'er glanced at the servant with some curiosity, picked up the noodles, gently opened them, and examined them carefully. There was nothing unusual about them; they were all similar to the ones before.

"Is there anything else in the cabinet?"

Jiang Yue'er got up and personally inspected the chests and cabinets inside.

That's all. That's all for today.

As the servant spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down.

He had just read that letter and knew everything about Chen Shisheng's situation; that person was a bone-forging expert!

During his years in the Wen family, his vision was unmatched by outsiders.

He knew very well what level of martial artist Forging Bones was, and the young master valued Forging Bones even more than he valued Steward Liu.

That's bone forging!

They are pillars of the three major families, and among the gangs outside, they are important figures who can serve as the leader of a gang and command the entire gang.

"Are you sure there aren't any left?"

Jiang Yue'er hesitated, but still checked the cabinet. Seeing that it was empty, she then walked out.

It's no wonder she was cautious; the Second Young Master's men were always cunning and treacherous.

There have been several precedents of intercepting important information, which has put the young lady in a very passive position and suppressed at every turn.

She grew up with the young lady and they were like sisters, so naturally she had to take good care of her to prevent the young lady from suffering any losses.

In recent years, the situation has become increasingly severe, with bandits running rampant outside the city, and the frontline battles going poorly, resulting in repeated defeats.

The Wen family's life became increasingly difficult, and the allocation of family resources placed even greater emphasis on ability.

The young lady originally had several capable assistants, but during a recent bandit suppression operation, they were ambushed by mountain bandits and suffered heavy losses, with some injured and others killed.

As a result, the young lady's family doesn't have many outstanding talents now.

If the bandit suppression continues, the young lady will be completely without anyone left.

Future resource allocations will likely be significantly reduced!

Jiang Yue'er sighed.

She's been suggesting lately that the eldest young lady learn from the second young master and recruit disciples who are qualified, so that at least the probability of finding a genius can be increased.

Don't always take in poor students. Not only are their physical abilities poor and their progress in martial arts training pitifully slow, but their character is also mostly flawed.

There was even a martial artist who tried to pursue her before, saying things like "You are my only brothel girl," which still makes her furious when she thinks about it now.

However, this might also be what makes the young lady different from others.

"Alright, that's fine. I'll take it back and show it to the young lady."

After saying that, Jiang Yue'er casually picked up the entire stack of letters and took them away.

Finished!

Seeing Jiang Yue'er take away all the letters, the servant stood frozen in place, completely motionless.

His eyes quickly became vacant, as if he had lost his spirit.

He originally intended to secretly keep the letter and take it back to the second young master when Steward Liu wasn't looking.

The discovery of a bone-forging martial artist.

He is still a Bone Forging Martial Artist who has achieved an external breakthrough.

He was confident that the second young master would be delighted and reward him handsomely.

At worst, he could hand it over to Steward Liu; at least he could become Steward Liu's confidant, and then he would have a powerful backer in the Internal Affairs Hall.

But now, it's the worst-case scenario...

Why did Jiang Yue'er arrive just as he finished reading the letter?

He couldn't hide it even if he wanted to; the more he made a move, the more easily he could be seen.

At this moment, Jiang Yue'er returned to another residence with a stack of letters.

The courtyard was spacious, with a row of weapon racks on both sides, displaying all kinds of weapons, including knives, spears, clubs, and more.

She walked along the path and went straight up to the second floor, arriving at a spacious, open-plan lobby.

This is where the young lady usually handles her affairs.

The two areas are separated by a layer of white gauze, with the outer area being a floor painted with tung oil, which shimmers with a faint glow under the moonlight.

She lifted the gauze curtain, took off her shoes, her white stockings touching the floor, and skillfully began handling her tasks for the day.

The young lady is very busy; she doesn't need to be bothered with ordinary matters.

In reality, she handles most of the time.

This is also the usual practice.

Just as the emperor wouldn't read every single memorial—that would be too much work—the eunuchs would select the important ones and present them to the emperor for his approval.

The Wen family also followed this pattern.

After looking at them for a while, I realized they were all trivial matters, most of which were not very important.

It all boils down to mediating conflicts and acquiring resources.

Jiang Yue'er couldn't help but rub her temples, and after forcing herself to look at the case a few more times, she finally gave up completely.

She thought for a moment, then called softly, "Little Sparrow, come in for a moment."

"Sister Yue'er, what's wrong?"

A maidservant walked in from outside and bowed.

"You can mark all these in red, just like I taught you last time, just put a checkmark on them."

Jiang Yue'er got up and chose to pass this arduous task to her subordinates.

"Yes."

The maid named Xiao Que stepped forward slowly.

"I'll go out for a bit first. After you've approved them all, send them to the Internal Affairs Department."

Jiang Yue'er gave an order and turned to leave.

She needs to go and check on how things are going with the young lady.

Having lost several skilled warriors and a Bone Forging expert, the young lady's current situation is far from optimistic.

"Yes, I understand."

The little sparrow nodded repeatedly.

This isn't the first time she's done this.

Although I am illiterate and cannot understand the contents of the letter.

However, she practiced embroidery diligently from a young age, and her skill in imitation was highly valued by Jiang Yue'er.

Normally, when there are a lot of things that need to be approved, she asks Xiao Que to do it for her.

Little Sparrow worked quickly, finishing the remaining ten or so letters in just a few moments and marking them with red.

Afterwards, she put the previously prepared items together and planned to take them out and hand them over to the Household Department.

suddenly.

A figure, like an ape, suddenly entered through the door and stopped abruptly in front of Little Sparrow.

"Ah!? Sister Yue'er, what's wrong?"

The little sparrow was startled and almost fell over, so it quickly patted its chest.

She looked up slightly and saw another woman standing in front of her.

"Young Miss".

She called out respectfully.
