When I walked to the door, I found that Xiaotao had already arrived.

She also brought a whole carriage of gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, etc. that she bought, used, and collected from her grandmother's house, and was communicating with the servant at the door.

As soon as he saw her coming, he hurried forward and asked:

"Miss, are you going out?"

"Yes, put your things away first, I'll be back after dinner."

He also ordered the servant at the door to take Xiaotao to his yard.

The servant no longer dared to neglect Xu Zhiyi's orders and immediately took Xiaotao to Xu Zhiyi's yard.

Xiao Tao was thinking about something in the back. No wonder she was brought here. It was late at night and their family hadn’t cooked for the young lady yet.

Fortunately, she is a good cook, so she can cook whatever the young lady likes to eat in the future.

The coachman helped put the box in the lady's yard and left.

She was stunned when she saw the big yard. Although the yard was not small, there were weeds in it, and the things in the yard were placed in a very messy manner. It was obvious that the yard was not well taken care of.

The most important thing is that there is not a single maid in the yard.

Xu Zhiyi's yard originally had two maids. The previous nanny was sent specifically to look after her. When she left, the nanny naturally left as well.

Seeing that the two maids had nothing to do, Aunt Liu transferred them to work in other courtyards and they had not had time to come back yet.

Xiao Tao sighed and took the jewelry and other things into the house. She was shocked by the decoration of the house. The decoration of this house was not even as good as that of a bastard in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Xu Zhiyi came back from Yunhe Tower after dinner on his little red horse, Xiaotao was already squatting in the yard pulling weeds.

When Caiyun was in another courtyard, she heard that the young lady got angry as soon as she came back, and hurriedly pulled Caixia back.

When Caiyun came back, she saw Xiaotao pulling weeds and felt a little embarrassed, so she picked up a rag and wiped the stone bench in the yard.

Caixia stood beside her:

"The lady doesn't care about these details, why are you cleaning these up?"

Seeing Caiyun winking at her, she couldn't help but say:

"What's wrong with your eyes? Is there dirt in them? I told you not to wipe them, don't wipe them. Now that dirt has blinded you, who can you blame?"

Now, Caiyun lowered her head completely.

"I heard I don't care whether my yard is clean or not? Is that what I said?"

The voice came faintly from behind her ear, and the coldness in the voice made her body numb.

So this is what Caiyun means.

She turned her head and lowered it quickly and said:

"Miss, I'm wrong. I'll wipe it right away with Caiyun."

Xu Zhiyi said coldly:

"No need, Caiyun, go gather everyone. Except for a few masters, invite the rest to come here."

"If you can't invite them, tell them that you will sell them tomorrow."

"Yes, miss."

When Caixia heard that they were going to summon everyone, she wondered if they were going to beat her to death with a stick. She had only heard from other maids that other noble families would use this method to deal with their servants, but beating and scolding servants was rare in the Xu family.

Especially the eldest daughter, who always got into trouble when she was by her side, but she never made things difficult for the servants.

She dared to be so bold.

This is more frightening than being directly aggressive towards her.

She, who was standing just now, immediately knelt down and grabbed the hem of the lady's skirt:

"Miss, please don't kill me. I don't want to die yet."

Xu Zhiyi knew that the way to deal with slaves nowadays was either to beat them to death or to sell them off. Selling them to other ordinary places was fine, but some of the good-looking ones were directly taken to brothels by traffickers.

Be the kind of thing that thousands of people ride on and tens of thousands of people use as pillows.

The more Caixia thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her body began to tremble.

But Xu Zhiyi came from the modern era, so naturally he couldn't be so cruel. What's more, Caixia hadn't done that yet.

She did this today to establish her authority. The original owner was just too good to them.

She looked at Caixia, who had collapsed into a ball on the ground, and told her to be scared for a while longer.

Xiao Tao had also finished pulling out the weeds nearby and felt that this young lady was not as soft as she thought.

Xiaoqi was also on the tree, thinking that he must report to His Majesty in the evening.

Not long after, all the servants were invited over by Caiyun, and they were reluctant to come at first.

They discussed it again. This young lady had given them two threats right after she came back. If they were not careful, they might really be given a third threat. So they better behaved themselves, and so they all came.

The yard was filled with crowds of people. Xiao Qi felt a little pressured. He should have gone to the roof earlier.

Caixia was scared when she saw the young lady asking Xiaotao to get 10 candles.

I'm not going to burn myself, am I? The more I think about it, the scarier it gets.

The crowd was also very quiet today, for fear that sparks would ignite and burn themselves.

Then he called over two servants:

"20 strokes of the cane. Don't go easy on me. If you go easy on me, someone else will beat you."

The servant girl could only nod repeatedly and pulled Caixia, who was as soft as mud, onto the bench.

The stick hit the flesh, making a dull sound, and soon, the buttocks were covered in blood.

After the fight.

Xu Zhiyi asked Xiaotao to light the candle again:

"And keep repeating 'Miss, I was wrong' until all ten candles are burned out."

When Caixia heard this, she just wanted to save her life.

Xu Zhiyi searched the crowd and found the nanny who was guarding the door on her first day.

"Watch her. If she pauses, pour cold water on her. If I find you slacking off when I come out to check, kneel down and shout with her."

Doesn’t the nanny love to watch over people? Then she will watch over them to the fullest.

When the nanny heard this, she knew that she was going to bring up old matters, but fortunately, she just stared at her.
