Lan Ziye thought for a moment and said firmly: "I can still afford this salary. It's settled. You can choose from these ten people!" After that, he walked straight into the villa.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly caught up with Lan Ziye, following behind him and saying in embarrassment, "But...but how do I explain this to the housekeeper?"

"If you find it difficult, just evacuate everyone here. And, by the way, tell the Chu family's Patriarch that if I need anyone, I'll go directly to the labor market to recruit! Tell him not to worry about me!" Lan Ziye stopped and looked at Aunt Zhang seriously. His tone was firm and unyielding.

Zhang Ma thought for a moment and said with embarrassment, "They are newly recruited and can get the same salary as the young lady, but the old slave belongs to the old house. He has worked here for twenty years and is a regular employee. When he can no longer work, he will return to his hometown and receive a pension. If it is transferred to the young lady..."

Lan Ziye looked at her, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't pay your salary!" After that, he went straight back to the room and didn't want to say any more to Aunt Zhang.

As soon as she returned to the room, Lan Ziye lay down on the big bed, and Xiaobai was thrown on the ground by her casually.

Lying on the bed, Lan Ziye could smell the scent of the sun in the bedding. It was obvious that the bedding had been dried in the sun, and the quilt under the bed was also soft and very comfortable.

"I didn't expect the head of the Chu family to be so enthusiastic!" Lan Ziye said with emotion.

"Meow, master, we have a lot of extra expenses now!" Xiaobai said with a worried look on his face.

Lan Ziye sighed and said, "Yeah! Looks like I'll have to take on more missions in the future." However, she turned around and said with renewed energy, "But it doesn't matter. The Lan family's pocket money is enough to pay those people's wages!"

"But......"

Xiaobai wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lan Ziye.

Lan Ziye looked at Xiaobai very seriously and said, "Chu Xixuan and I will cancel our engagement in a year, or maybe even sooner. Who knows, I might have to stay here even after the cancellation, and I have to pay these people's wages. Only after I pay them, they will be considered my people, Lan Ziye. Otherwise, they will always be servants of the Chu family!" After a pause, Lan Ziye continued, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Since Chu Xixuan and I are destined to have no connection, it's better not to take advantage of them!"

After saying this, Lan Ziye felt so depressed for some reason, so depressed!

Xiaobai was very surprised. When had her master changed his ways? Didn't her master always believe in the principle of "If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a fool?" If she didn't reach out to grab things, she was considered a good person.

Xiaobai was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Master, we can actually stay at Lan's house. That way, there won't be any expenses!"

"I can't go back to the Lan family! Haven't you seen how much the Lan family values ​​my marriage with Chu Xixuan? Last time, because Chu Xixuan left in the middle of the night, Lan Yan lectured me for over an hour. If I rashly move back to the Lan family, oh my god! I really can't believe how I'll be interrogated!" Lan Ziye said speechlessly, "Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the five major families should all know about Chu Xixuan and me. If I move back to the Lan family, what will they think? They might even think that I, Lan Ziye, was driven back by the Chu family! I can afford to lose face, but the Lan family can't afford to!"
