Seeing that the palace was in decline, they dared to take advantage of the situation and climb over their master's head.

"Butler Qin, bring out his indenture."

Butler Tang wanted to say something, but offending her at this time would be bad for her prestige.

"yes."

Butler Tang went over to get the indenture.

When the other slaves and servants who sold themselves into the family saw this, they all had their own thoughts.

Gu Pianran took in the expressions on their faces one by one.

After Gu Pianran got the indenture contract, he spread it out and said to the servant, "You want it? If you want it, take one hundred taels of silver and this indenture contract will be yours."

The man's face froze. He thought she would give it to them for free.

Gu Pianran looked at him coldly, "Put aside your thoughts. Jingyu has been stripped of his title, but I won't tolerate your bullying. Even if I order people to beat you to death, the government won't intervene, and no one will come to redress your grievances."

The house slaves and servants who had handed in their indentures all stopped thinking about it and dared not show up again.

"Whoever can come up with one hundred taels of silver can take back his indenture."

After discussion, the other farmhands and ordinary servants received their silver and left one by one.

Gu Pianran looked at the servants who were almost gone, and her heart sank a little bit.

When people leave, the tea gets cold. They are all heartless people.

The huge palace had so many servants leaving at once, making the entire palace look desolate and even a little sad.

After watching the show, Bei Yutang came to the woodshed and gently threw the oil lamp. The small flame instantly turned into a raging fire.

Gu Pianran and all the servants in the mansion, who were still giving a speech in front, only realized that there was a fire after seeing the flames rising high.

"Hurry, go put out the fire." Gu Pianran ordered urgently.

Everyone woke up as if from a dream and ran towards the woodshed.

Gu Pianran hurried towards the main courtyard. After seeing Tang Jingyu lying on the bed safe and sound, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately he is okay.

The fire in the Tang Mansion naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors, but no one moved, but watched quietly.

Given Tang Jingyu's current situation, naturally no one wants to get close to him.

The fire was finally put out by the remaining servants in the mansion, but after it was put out, the firewood room, the kitchen, and several rooms where maids and old women lived had already been burned down.

After hearing the housekeeper's report, Gu Pianran frowned, "It's good that no one is unharmed. Burning some houses is not a big deal, there are plenty of empty houses now. Housekeeper Tang, can you find out what caused the fire?"

"We found out it was the oil lamp that fell over and ignited the firewood."

“Who would light a lamp in the woodshed at that time?”

"This..." Butler Tang was stunned, but soon understood.

"This was a deliberate fire."

Gu Pianran nodded.

Steward Tang was furious. "Who on earth is this? How despicable that they would actually set fire to the palace?"

Gu Pianran reminded: "Butler Tang, we are in the Tang residence now, don't say anything wrong. Otherwise, people will gossip and cause trouble for your master."

"Yes, yes, yes." Butler Tang nodded repeatedly, "Miss Gu is right. I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Not only you, but everyone in the mansion should be careful. This is a special period, and the mansion cannot afford to be disturbed."
