Wei Zijin saw everyone's reaction in his eyes and was not angry. He said coldly: "I don't care what rules Butler Liu originally set, but Butler Liu has long forgotten that Lord Shangshu is still an official in the imperial court and acts recklessly.
That’s why you were kicked out of the Shangshu Mansion! If you continue to disobey the rules, betray your master for a small profit, and talk nonsense below, you will not end up better than Butler Liu!"
Her tone was harsher than before, and everyone gasped. They were really shocked by her words and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
I didn’t expect that this mistress of the house was so powerful. She actually knew that they secretly told the mistress all kinds of news after receiving money!
Even when Lord Shangshu left the Third Madam's yard last night and went to the First Madam's yard, they took the money and told the other ladies' personal maids about it.
Now that Wei Zijin has summoned them to lecture them, I'm afraid they already knew about this!
The servant who was said to be right was shocked. He knew what the mistress of the house meant by what he said. How could he dare to be dissatisfied with Wei Zijin?! The servants who had never done this before also expressed their disapproval of what Wei Zijin said.
The words were spoken in awe.
Working as servants in the Shangshu Mansion, the monthly salary is quite high, and the master does not make things too difficult for them, which is something that other slaves cannot ask for. How can they dare to really offend their master and be kicked out of the Shangshu Mansion?!
"I've said everything I have to say. If you are still dissatisfied with the rules I told you, you can come to me alone. I will settle the monthly payment for him and let him leave. But if you don't want to leave, you have to be single-minded.
A servant of Shangshu Mansion!" Wei Zijin didn't want to say any more, so he waved his hands and said these last words.
After she finished speaking, there was silence. No one dared to refute, and no one dared to stand up and say that they wanted to leave Shangshu Mansion.
Finally, a servant with a strong body and an honest appearance spoke first: "Thank you for your teaching, master. I will definitely not let you down!"
After the first one spoke, everyone else repeated in unison: "Thank you for your teaching, master. I will definitely not let you down!"
Qiaoxiang was still a little nervous at first, but when she saw everyone saying these words sincerely, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
Wei Zijin's face remained calm as usual, he nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, you all go down and do your own business. The monthly payment will increase next month. If anyone needs it urgently, you can advance it two months in advance after explaining the situation!"
The slaves, who were originally shocked by Wei Zijin's majesty, heard that the monthly payment would be increased and they could get an advance for urgent needs. They all left happily, and no one had any complaints anymore!
After all the servants left, Wei Zijin asked Qiaoxiang to stop the servant who had spoken first, looked at him carefully, and asked thoughtfully: "What is your name? How many years have you been in Shangshu Mansion?"
The servant didn't show any timidity when facing Wei Zijin's appraising gaze, and replied calmly: "Back to Madam, my name is Kong Wu, and he and his brother came to work in Shangshu Mansion five years ago!"
"Oh? What's your brother's name and where is he on duty?" Wei Zijin asked with great interest. Unexpectedly, this strong and honest young man had an older brother.
"My brother's name is Kong Wen. He used to help Butler Liu settle accounts. Later, Butler Liu was dissatisfied with him and punished him to become a gardener!" When Kong Wu talked about his brother, a look of resentment and injustice appeared on his honest face.
