After a while, he took the wind chime down and brought it back to his room.
When Xiao Nan woke up in the morning, she came over to Xu Zhaoyue and said that the seashell wind chime was missing. The maid who was in charge yesterday was almost crying. She said that she didn't take it down yesterday and thought it would be fine, but the maid who took over today came to get it and found that it was missing.
"What? Didn't I tell you to put it away tonight?" Xu Zhaoyue angrily went downstairs to see what was going on, then stopped abruptly just as she reached the corner.
"Miss..." Xiao Nan was about to ask what was wrong when Xu Zhaoyue put her index finger to her lips and gestured for her to shush. Then she listened carefully to what was happening below and found that Yue Lanxing was indeed scolding someone.
"What? Are you blaming me for not putting it away? I already instructed you to put the seashell wind chime away tonight. You made a mistake, so don't blame others."
"The reason why you are required to go to get it together when you take over is to prevent anyone from slacking off."
"Your salary for this month will be deducted as punishment, and she will be removed from the duty roster. From now on, the five of you will take turns working shifts. As for when you will be added back, that depends on your performance."
The maids also kept a record of their work. They received a corresponding salary for each basic task Xu Zhaoyue gave them. Subtracting one of these salaries meant that they would not receive that salary afterward.
That person knew he had made a mistake, and partly because of Yue Lanxing's stern tone, he didn't dare to plead for mercy.
After Yue Lanxing finished scolding them, she dismissed them. Thinking that the young lady should be waking up soon, she hurried upstairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as she went up the stairs, she saw the young lady squatting there, not knowing what she was doing.
"Miss, Butler Yue is coming up," Xiao Nan reminded her from the side.
"Huh? Come on up, I'm not afraid of him. You go prepare breakfast, I'll go down and eat later." Xu Zhaoyue had just said this when she turned around and Yue Lanxing had already walked over, and Xiao Nan went down from the side.
"What is this, Miss?" He was clearly eavesdropping, but he didn't point it out.
"Haha, my legs are numb, I'll rest here for a while." Xu Zhaoyue stood up, holding onto the handrail. "You were quite serious just now."
“I’ve already told them to put it away every day, and they still made a mistake. After all, this is a wind chime that Miss and I made together. Will Miss blame me for being so serious?” Yue Lanxing said as she walked, having already reached the next step below Xu Zhaoyue.
Xu Zhaoyue naturally couldn't blame him. She shook her head and said, "How could that be? I'm so happy to praise you. You must have come back quite late. I was already asleep. And you still remembered to put the wind chimes away."
"I'm even going to give you a raise," Xu Zhaoyue said.
"Is a raise the only reward the young lady can think of? Yesterday's reward for them was also a raise." Many people probably like the young lady's attitude of doing things for money, but Yue Lanxing doesn't like her treating her like this.
