His gaze was rather cold as he stood at the door and coughed once. Lou, the Deputy Butler, turned pale and glared viciously at his niece, then turned around to open the door, "Butler?"
Everyone looked over; Lou the Deputy Butler had brought a total of eight people. They lived in different rooms, but because of Lou’s sudden arrival, everyone gathered in one room.
Now, they suddenly heard soone coughing outside, and the Deputy Butler opened the door. Everyone could clearly see the butler standing outside, and their faces instantly changed. The butler usually seed like a Maitreya Buddha, always smiling and appearing gentle, but at this mont.
His expression was frighteningly serious.
Even Lou, the Deputy Butler, dared not directly face the butler at this mont.
The butler glanced around at the nine people present, including Lou the Deputy Butler, and suddenly let out a cold laugh, "I never expected that the household servants would have such strong opinions against the Young Madam;
Even less did I expect that soone would dare to call the Young Madam by her na."
His gaze was sharp, cold, and directly fell on Lou Qinqin. Lou Qinqin lost her nerve, frightened, quickly lowering her head.
The butler snorted lightly, "Who do you think you are? Who are you going to find?
The Young Madam is not soone you can discuss privately, nor can you call her by na.
Do you not know your own status? Do you truly think you can make decisions in the Bo Family?"
The butler’s words made others blush with embarrassnt. He completely left them no dignity and continued, "Do you know your own status, and know the Young Madam’s status? Can you compare?
Your departure has nothing to do with the Young Madam; it was decided by the Eldest Young Master. So, are you going to find the Eldest Young Master?
Or shall I personally tell the Eldest Young Master to have a chat with you?"
His gaze carried a hint of mockery, staring fixedly at Lou Qinqin, "Is your na Lou Qinqin?"
Lou Qinqin lifted her eyes, her arrogance fleeting, and then looked at the butler, "Yes."
The butler looked at her expression and coldly snorted, making Lou Qinqin’s face turn red instantly. But he didn’t pause, "You wouldn’t be dreaming of marrying the Eldest Young Master, right? Have you seen what you look like?
These days, in front of the Young Madam, you’ve been discussing her without any scruples. Do you truly think the Young Madam has no temper?
The Young Madam simply doesn’t care about you. Do you really think you’re significant? But it doesn’t matter; originally the Eldest Young Master decided to give you triple wages, but I’m canceling this honor myself. After receiving this month’s wages, all of you are to get lost."
"Why?"
Previously, they would have received triple wages, but now it seems they can only receive the current month’s paynt.
Many people began to feel dissatisfied, and the commotion and argunt on this side quickly attracted the attention of the Lady of the Bo Family, who asked Amah Li what was going on.
Amah Li heard everything outside previously, as did Amah Zhang. Amah Zhang told the Lady of the Bo Family first, "What’s going on? It’s just..."
After explaining everything in detail, the Lady of the Bo Family was filled with rage, and she slamd her hand on the table, "They’ve gone too far."
"Let’s go down and have a look."
The Eldest of the Bo Family saw this commotion, glanced at the Lady of the Bo Family, "Where are you going?"
Having already dressed and heading out, the Lady of the Bo Family replied, "Go back to sleep. Soone’s bullying your daughter-in-law, I’m going to have a look."
The Eldest of the Bo Family frowned, "Who?"
"The household servants, you rest, I’ll go check."
"Oh."
The Lady of the Bo Family followed Amah Zhang downstairs and saw the butler standing by the servant’s rooms, amidst the chaos. As soon as the butler saw her hastening over, he quickly walked a few steps towards her, "Madam, why have you co down?"
The Lady of the Bo Family stood there with precision, looking at the butler, her brows tightly knitted, "What’s all the arguing about?"
Lou the Deputy Butler and several servants walked out from the servant’s rooms, and the butler had already explained the situation once; it was because of the dissatisfaction with the salary issue.
The Lady of the Bo Family looked at them sternly.
The Lady of the Bo Family’s sternness was different from the butler’s; hers was truly authoritative and imposing, the kind that left you with nowhere to hide.
The powerful female presence was enough to make even other won feel intimidated; Lou Qinqin was as still as a quail, not daring to move, and the Lady of the Bo Family looked at them and laughed.
"I know the content of the argunt, and I will decide that we proceed according to what the butler said. If we trace this back, none of you should expect to get a single penny. Our family’s money wasn’t fetched from the flood; don’t be wishful thinkers.
