Housekeeper Luo waved his hand, and immediately a guard came over, dragging away Granny Mei who was barely alive.

Ye Muyu handed over the contract as well.

Ye Muyu disregarded the reactions of the other servants.

She had Su Mei call out Liuye, who had been detained all this time.

Liuye had long since heard Granny Mei’s screams from within the house. When she was brought out, she couldn’t control herself and saw the fresh blood that hadn’t been cleaned up on the courtyard’s stone slabs at a glance.

With a “thump.”

She fell to her knees, “Lady, your servant girl admits her guilt.”

“What wrong have you done?” Ye Muyu looked at her, inquired.

Liuye, tears streaming down her face, “Your servant girl was beguiled by Granny Mei, failed to fulfill her duty as a guard, and even more so, failed to report the incident, which should not have been ignored just to avoid trouble.”

Liuye couldn’t stop Granny Mei from releasing someone, and for fear of being punished by the lady if she found out, she dared not report the incident.

“Now that you have admitted your mistake, you are demoted to a third-rank maid, in charge of pruning the flowers and plants.”

Liuye lay on the ground, gratefully thanking her.

Steward Luo slowly contributed a remark, “The lady is kind-hearted, and you should all be grateful. Otherwise, if the master had handled this, you would not be able to bear the consequences!”

After warning the servants, Housekeeper Luo stood next to Ye Muyu respectfully, his attitude making it clear that the position of lady was not something Aunt Lin could challenge. Now the servants all knew that the master valued those who followed the rules above all else.

Having dealt with the two of them, Ye Muyu continued to speak, “My requirement of you is loyalty. Liuye knew Granny Mei had done wrong, but still she did not report it. She not only neglected her own duties but also let Granny Mei continue her misdeeds.”

“I know what you are all thinking. Liuye feared being implicated but had she reported the matter to me when it happened, it would have been a minor error. Now it has become a major issue, and even if she didn’t want to, she must bear the consequences.”

“However, since you are all part of the residence, I choose to trust you. Do your work well, and your monthly allowance will be untouched. If you do well, you can be promoted, and naturally, your monthly allowance will also increase.”

“In addition, I do not wish to see anyone from the residence take matters into their own hands because of trouble at home. If you really face difficulties, you are to inform me or Housekeeper Luo. The accounting room keeps a record of your work, so, as long as you are diligent, I will naturally take notice.”

“Do you all understand?”

The servants were terrified, but hearing that their treatment would not change, how could they have any complaints? Most of them were practical by nature; this was the one requirement Ye Muyu had when Housekeeper Luo went to purchase servants.

Now, having the chance to lead satisfying lives in the Chu family, they would be foolish to act against their master.

The end of Granny Mei was deeply imprinted in everyone’s minds.

Seeing that everyone responded with sincere fear and trepidation,

Ye Muyu waved her hand, signaling for everyone to return to their tasks.

Housekeeper Luo approached, “Lady, how should we deal with Aunt Lin?”

“Ask the master.”

Ye Muyu didn’t want to lay hands on Aunt Lin; she thought it would taint her own hands. After all, the fault lay with Chu Heng, the man. If Aunt Lin had no opportunity to act against her, she wouldn’t have any interactions with her either.

Upon hearing this, Housekeeper Luo didn’t dare to ask further and turned to find Chu Heng in the front courtyard to report the situation.

Chu Heng casually decreed that Aunt Lin copy the residence’s rules a hundred times.

Housekeeper Luo went to the rear garden; upon entering the backyard, he saw that the woman responsible for keeping records had been replaced with a younger, thinner woman and another honest-looking maidservant.
