Xichun brought out a stool and placed it behind Xu Wanyan.
Xu Wanyan looked at her with appreciation, but did not sit down.
"Today, I'm calling everyone here to make a few simple announcements."
"Is there anything you want to announce?"
"That's right, just do your job as usual."
"Who knows?"
“…”
Xu Wanyan listened to these voices without any change on her face.
These people have been in Zhao Yaru's hands for more than ten years and have long been tamed and obedient.
Now, I took over directly, firstly because I was too young, and secondly, I had never been favored, so it was normal for them to look down on me.
Listening to their endless chatter, Xu Wanyan said nothing and sat down on the chair.
Seeing this, Qiao Yun quickly served a cup of tea.
The servants were stunned by this scene and didn't know what the second young lady wanted to do.
For a moment, the yard was silent.
Unfortunately, Xu Wanyan still didn't say anything, but just sipped the tea slowly.
After about half an hour, some people could no longer stand.
"Second Miss, I wonder if you have anything to say. I have a lot of things to do here."
"Yeah yeah."
When one person takes the lead, more people will follow suit.
Xu Wanyan still didn't speak.
"this......"
Xu Wanyan's behavior left them confused for a moment. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Miss, I have ordered one more."
Xu Wanyan slowly raised her head and asked softly, "Do you know her name?"
Mother Chen nodded and said, "I know. It's Zhao Dayong from the kitchen."
An idea flashed through Xu Wanyan's mind, "Is it Madam's people?"
Mother Chen nodded and said, "Back then, when Madam entered the mansion, this Zhao Dayong was her distant relative. He begged Madam to find him a job, so she brought him in."
Xu Wanyan had a clue in her mind and shouted, "Who's going to call Zhao Dayong?"
Now they realized that there were still fewer people.
The second young lady sat there motionless. How did she know that Zhao Dayong was missing among the hundred or eighty people?
However, the reason they waited so long today was all because of Zhao Dayong.
Thinking of this, many people in the crowd began to curse.
"Second Miss, I'll go get Zhao Dayong."
"I'm going too."
"I'm going too."
Xu Wanyan nodded and said, "Let's go in pairs."
Although everyone was a little confused, they also knew that this young lady was not as weak and timid as she appeared to be.
The two men ran out.
The mother who had taken the lead in speaking before no longer dared to speak and lowered her head.
"The housekeepers of each room should first go to Mother Chen to register the items you receive every month."
"this......"
Many people inside knew that the second young lady was going to check the accounts, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Hurry up! If you don't want to register, you'll just stand here today!"
"Second Miss, when Madam was in charge, it was simply..."
Xu Wanyan glanced at her coldly, "Don't you know who's in charge now? Or, if Madam doesn't take charge anymore, you won't work in the Xu family anymore?"
These words made the mother's face turn pale instantly and she quickly lowered her head.
"From today on, I will officially be in charge of the household affairs. If you cooperate, you will do your best in the Xu family. If you don't cooperate, I will not show any mercy."
She wanted everyone to betray Zhao Yaru and her daughter, so that they would never have a chance to turn things around.
She had checked the backgrounds of most of these people.
If the child doesn't obey, she can sell him.
As for the others, most of them have families who rely on this little money for food, so I don’t think they would be stupid enough to go against her.
Slowly, the crowd began to move.
Many people lined up to register, but Xu Wanyan didn't even glance at them and stared at the people standing there.
Although some people were dissatisfied in their hearts, they knew that the second young lady still had some means.
"Zhao Dayong is here."
Someone shouted, and everyone looked towards the gate.
Sure enough, Zhao Dayong came.
Xu Wanyan's eyes darkened and she winked at Xiao Mengzi.
"Ouch"
Zhao Dayong suddenly felt pain, covered his arm and squatted down.
"Go and look at his arm."
"yes!"
When Zhao Dayong saw someone pulling his arm, he fell to the ground instantly and covered his injured arm tightly.
However, since they had received the order from the Second Young Lady, how could they not go and check?
Things have changed in the Xu family. The lady is no longer the same lady, and the second lady is no longer the same second lady.
Zhao Dayong is no longer the original... relative of the Zhao family.
After saying that, several strong men pulled Zhao Dayong's clothes even harder.
Two fists cannot beat four hands, not to mention that there are more than four hands, so Zhao Dayong was defeated.
The sleeves sewn on the cotton coat were torn off, and the white cotton fell to the ground.
However, everyone's attention was not on the cotton, but on Zhao Dayong's tightly bandaged arm, which was still oozing with blood.
Xu Wanyan sneered, it was indeed Zhao Yaru and her daughter.
"Send him to Shuntian Prefecture."
No one understood what had happened, but the second lady's words, combined with Zhao Dayong's injuries, made them think a lot.
"I'm not going, I'm not going, Second Miss. Why are you sending me to the government office? I want to see my wife."
Xu Wanyan smiled contemptuously, "Save these words for when you go to the government. As for your wish to see the lady, perhaps the government will grant your wish."
"No, no, I won't go. I want to see my wife. I want my wife. You have no right to send me to the government."
