C24 Those Kneeling on the Floor

A floor full of kneeling people

"Of course, your mother has some knowledge." Old Madam Wu was satisfied, the sadness on her face had disappeared, her entire body brimming with a happy aura.

"Mother, please restrain yourself." Wu Jun said: "We are still mourning!"

"I know, you're the only one in front of me!" Old Madam Wu took a sip of tea as the elation on her body receded and returned to its original calm look.

"Qian'er grew up here, and will marry here. Regardless of whether or not she can choose from there, she is someone who has to enter the palace." Wu Jun thought for a while, "Hui Juan, you don't have to worry about that."

"Your wife will be the one in charge of a large family in the future. I can't help her much, I can only help her bring along a bunch of children." Old Madam Wu was even more satisfied.

His son was still on his side. His grandson and daughter were all raised for her, and even if they were to kiss at home, they wouldn't treat their mother coldly. However, they felt a little lacking.

"Then it's a deal. Mother, you should rest early as well. You have become more haggard these days." Wu Jun knew his mother's temperament very well and cared even more about her mother. "From tomorrow onwards, I will have Hui Juan brew a cup of tonic for you every day to nourish your body."

Old Madam Wu enjoyed her son's filial piety even more.

And Wu Youwei, who had left, was not idle either.

Along the way, he met the butler and greeted him. The butler kept his promise, so whatever he said would be enough.

However, the moment he returned to his own courtyard, he saw many people kneeling on the floor in the empty space within the courtyard!

The woman had four rough servant woman s, four small maidservant s, two second class maidservant s, and one first class grand maidservant s. There were a total of eleven women, four guard s, two bookkeepers, two servants, and one supervisor.

Originally, his courtyard had twenty people serving it, because it allowed him to read without distractions.

Xiaoxiao came back and bared her teeth at him from the window, indicating that he should take a look at those people.

Those who normally wouldn't even look at him for a moment were now kneeling in the courtyard. Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was in the room, leaning against the window, watching the show.

Wu Youwei acted as if he did not see them, walking towards them, entering the room and closing the door.

The twenty people outside were dumbfounded!

They had served the Young Master for more than ten years, and all of them knew the Young Master like the back of their hands.

As long as they begged, there would be an opportunity. They did not want to be dealt with by the mansion.

In this era, the most merciful way to deal with the servants in the house was to put them out in the farmlands and raise them. Although it was a bit bitter, it was still possible to come back and live on.

The next level was sold directly, which depended on your life. Although it was sold by mistake, this didn't mean that you wouldn't have a chance to rise to prominence in the future.

The most ruthless method was to directly sell it to the mines, because that was a hell. Basically, they didn't have many years to live, and this was the most severe punishment from each family.

During the time when Young Master was very sick, none of them attended to him and all of them ran out to look for a way out of the camp.

Now that the Young Master was fine, they heard from the grand maidservant's Ling'er that the butler had already found the human trader and will bring them out of the house tomorrow!

Ling'er was even the housekeeper's grandson. The steward was even the housekeeper's youngest son, yet he did not hold back on his. It could be seen that Young Master was truly angry.

Hurry up and beg for mercy!

But they were too late.

Young Master had already gone to the main courtyard, so he could only kneel at the most conspicuous place in the courtyard, hoping that Young Master could see him, and then … Then I can forgive them...

If it was the original owner, it was still possible. But unfortunately, the core of the matter had changed. Wu Youwei would not pay any attention to them!

He would not pay attention to any of these people, nor would he leave them behind.

They were too familiar with the original owner, and were more familiar with him than anyone else. It was difficult for them to not notice the flaw, and no matter how much he pretended, certain habits of his would still be different.

For example, the original owner didn't eat garlic, but he did!

For example, the original owner liked to eat ginger, but he did not love it!

So, even if they hadn't made a mistake, he wouldn't have used them again, because he couldn't have been wearing a mask all the time.
