The expressions of the girls changed slightly, and their initial indifference calmed down a bit, but the two women still looked like dominatrixes, with a hint of contempt flashing in their eyes from time to time.
Their status and deeds are all in the hands of the madam. As a young lady who has just returned home, what qualifications does she have to sell slaves.
However, what they said next made them unable to stand up again.
"Tomorrow I will ask my wife to hand over your body deeds to me. If you are with me, of course your life must be with me. Otherwise, who knows who you are working for?"
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two women. They did not expect that this seemingly soft and frail young lady would speak so sharply, and there seemed to be a cold light flashing on her smiling face.
Several girls turned pale and hurriedly knelt down on their knees: "Slaves must serve the second young lady wholeheartedly."
When the two women saw that the girls had already started, they had no reason not to express their opinions, so they also expressed their loyalty.
I just don’t know whether this loyalty is true loyalty or false loyalty!
Yuan Qiu still smiled slightly, raised his hand and said: "Get up!"
Everyone stood up as instructed, Yuan Qiu glanced at their faces one by one, and said slowly: "I don't want to say more about the rest. You all do your part well and don't make mistakes. There will naturally be many benefits. If anyone dares Don't blame me for being rude if you act arrogantly or secretly in front of me."
Everyone was beating drums in their hearts. Didn’t they say before that this second young lady was raised in a poor family? I thought he was a good master, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful.
"Okay, you go and clean the house inside and out. What you do in other courtyards is the same here. Do you understand?"
What else didn't everyone understand? This was clearly a show of force, to establish prestige for them.
After everyone dispersed, Xing Fang secretly gave Yuan Qiu a thumbs up: "Miss, you are so awesome. You suppressed all their arrogance with just a few words. I thought it would take some effort to discipline them! "
Yuan Qiu smiled lightly and shook his head: "Silly girl, they are all servants in this house, and I am the master. If they want to manipulate me, they must first see how much they weigh. I, Xia Yuanqiu, am not a soft persimmon."
Xing Fang smiled and joked: "Miss, you are not a soft persimmon, what are you?"
Yuan Qiu also laughed: "I am a rose, a rose with thorns!"
She added in her mind: This thorn may be poisonous!
With Yuan Qiu's shock, the girl and mother-in-law became much more serious about her work. At least for the time being, she did not dare to openly confront her master.
They have been serving as servants for a long time, and their minds are very active. They know when to say something and when to do something. When the situation is unclear, it is the time to talk less and do more.
The next day, Yuan Qiu led Xing Fang to the main courtyard after breakfast. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw many people sitting in the main hall from a distance.
Zhuo Zhonghai seems to be absent. Chang Meifeng and a middle-aged woman are sitting in the main seat. On the lower left is Zhuo Jihong, the young master of the mansion. Below Zhuo Jihong is a handsome young man wearing a plain robe and trousers. Wearing a brocade belt, with a smile on her face, her eyes fell on Qin Lan across from her from time to time, a bit rude and wanton.
Qinlan's face was slightly angry, her eyes deliberately avoided the young man opposite her, and she only drank tea quietly, looking like a demure and dignified lady.
She sneered in her heart and walked straight into the front hall without stopping. With a smile on her face, she bowed obediently to Chang Meifeng: "Greetings to mother!"
Chang Meifeng smiled and waved towards Yuan Qiu: "Qinya is here! Sit down quickly!"
