"If you don't stop, you will all be beaten with ten sticks!"

One of the maids came out and bowed perfunctorily to Su Jinyue, "Miss, we are from the second house, and they are the old lady's people. Miss has no right to punish us."

Su Jinyue was not annoyed and said calmly, "Xiao Tao, teach them what the rules are."

"Yes, Miss!"

Xiao Tao was already holding her breath, and with her own young lady's support, she was naturally not afraid of anyone else.

She walked up to the maid, raised her hand and slapped the person in front of her!

Bang!

The crisp sound echoed throughout the yard.

The maids and servants who were moving things just now suddenly dared not move.

Xiao Tao withdrew her hand and looked at the maid in front of her and said, "The eldest lady is the daughter of the Marquis's mansion. Don't say that you are a maid of the second house. Even if you are serving the Marquis, you should know the rules!"

The maid was frightened by Xiaotao's slap and her attitude became much more submissive. She replied with a trembling "yes".

Su Jinyue then spoke, "Why did you move out all the things I use?"

"To answer the eldest lady's question, it was the old lady who ordered that your courtyard be renovated, and the few of us were sent to serve you."

Su Jinyue said, "Move back all the things I use on a daily basis, and give the things that grandma sent to Xiaotao to lock in the warehouse."

"But..." The maid turned her head and glanced towards the door.

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and glanced in the direction she was looking. She recognized the maid standing at the door.

Orchid and peony.

The first-class maidservant beside Old Madam Su was also sent to her?

When Lan Shao saw Su Jinyue's eyes looking at her, she immediately pretended nothing happened and looked away.

"What's wrong?" Su Jinyue said with a smile, "Don't you understand what I said?"

"I understand, I understand!" The maid in the second room was slapped hard by Xiaotao and became obedient. At this time, she did not dare to disobey Su Jinyue's words.

No longer paying attention to the mess in the yard, Su Jinyue said, "Xiao Tao, watch them pack up their things and bring them to the backyard to find me."

"Yes, miss."

Su Jinyue returned to the backyard alone, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the medicinal herbs planted in the garden were still there.

Fortunately, they didn't come to the backyard, otherwise she wouldn't know whether the herbs in her garden could survive until she came back.

With Xiaotao in the front yard, the maids and servants did not dare to delay and quickly packed up everything.

"Miss, everyone has been brought here." Xiao Tao came into the backyard and walked in front.

Lan Shao followed behind, and as soon as she entered the yard, her eyes couldn't stop wandering.

Su Jinyue noticed that Lan Shao's expression had not been exposed, so she sat on the stone bench in the yard and watched them stand in a row.

Although these maids and servants looked familiar, Su Jinyue didn't care much.

"I'm used to having Xiao Tao by my side. I'm used to having so many people in my yard."

"I appreciate the kindness of my grandmother and aunt. Now that you are done with your work, you can go back."

Lan Shao was indeed getting anxious. She fell to her knees with a plop. "Miss, the old lady asked me to come here to serve you, young lady!"

"If you don't want me, the old lady will think that I didn't serve you well, and I will be punished later! Miss, please let me stay and serve you!"

The maidservant of the second room also knelt down and said, "My lady, I was wrong in what I said just now. Please punish me, but please don't chase me out!"

Two people took the lead, and several maids and servants behind them also knelt down.

"Please leave this servant alone, young lady!"

Looking at the maids in this yard, each with her own ulterior motives, Su Jinyue just found it funny.

It seems that not only the people in the second house couldn't help it, but even her grandmother couldn't help but plot against her.

If they really want to send these people back, they will have to come up with other ideas and replace them with another group of people.

It would be better to just keep the person here and avoid any further trouble.

"Okay, then you can stay."

Su Jinyue looked at Lan Shao and said, "You are a maid sent by my grandmother, so stay with me and be a first-class maid."

"But the monthly allowance is not as much as what you get from your grandmother. Is it okay?"

Lan Shao nodded quickly, "I am not doing this for the monthly salary, I just want to serve the young lady well."

"Okay." Su Jinyue nodded. "Lv Wu is the one sent by my aunt. I can't go against my aunt's face. You can be my second-class maid."

"Yes, Miss."

Su Jinyue said, "I'll leave the arrangements for the others to you, Lan Shao. You two came in together, so it's best for you to make the arrangements."

Lan Shao's eyes flashed, and she immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will make sure to arrange for everyone!"

"You are all tired today, go and have a rest." Su Jinyue said to Xiao Tao, "Give them two taels of silver each, and go down."

The maids and servants bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward, Miss."

After Xiao Tao gave them the silver, she returned to the backyard and looked at her young lady tending to the herbs. Her chubby little face visibly fell.

"Miss……"

Su Jinyue looked up and saw Xiaotao's appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "Where are they?"

"Miss is still talking."

Xiao Tao came to Su Jinyue reluctantly and held an umbrella for her to block out the sun. "You told them to rest, but they really went to rest. No one was working. How unruly!"

Expecting this, Su Jinyue smiled faintly, "I don't need them to do anything for me."

"But Miss... why did you let Lan Shao take care of them? Before you came back, Lan Shao didn't have this attitude!"

Su Jinyue raised her head, her fair and crystal-clear cheeks were flushed by the sun, "I know, but if you want to kill him, you must first make him crazy."

"Since I can't drive them away, I'll find a way to make them destroy themselves."

Xiao Tao stood aside and frowned, "Um...Miss, I don't understand."

Su Jinyue stood up and clapped her hands, then raised her hand and pinched Xiaotao's chubby face.

Looking at Xiaotao's confused eyes, Su Jinyue suddenly felt a little jealous.

Yes, Xiaotao was only fifteen years old now, and she was at an innocent age when she died.

In order to protect her, a girl who should have blossomed in her prime died in that filthy inner house.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Tao looked at Su Jinyue's expression and felt that her young lady seemed to have become much more sentimental since she called off the engagement.

"It's okay." Su Jinyue smiled and said, "Let's go back and eat your favorite cherry cakes."

When Xiao Tao heard about the cherry degree, her eyes lit up, "Okay! I'll get some water for the lady to wash her hands!"
