Yi Mu, feeling dizzy, took the car back to the Ye family home.
The housekeeper is not here, and the lady has gone on a long trip to see friends and will not be back for three days.
Imu hasn't been feeling well lately, so he went upstairs for a nap.
I can't sleep at night, but I sleep very well in the afternoon.
As evening approached, sounds began to emanate from the quiet villa.
When Yi Mu woke up, he heard the butler scolding someone downstairs.
Yi Mu couldn't hear what she said, only that her voice was high-pitched and arrogant.
Yi Mu came downstairs and saw everyone standing in the spacious living room.
The butler held a thin stick in his hand, and while giving instructions, he would occasionally tap the maid's shoulder with the stick.
Her expression was complex, her face was cold, and her eyes were crazed.
Yi Mu suspected that she had an addiction to scolding her maids, and that she would do so every few days.
When the housekeeper is in a good mood, he usually just gives a few instructions and then lets everyone go.
If someone is in a bad mood, then the housekeeper is in big trouble.
The maids have been standing in the living room for an hour.
For the entire hour, that old woman kept repeating the same few pointless, repetitive phrases, completely looking for trouble.
The servants in the Ye family didn't like the housekeeper.
If it weren't for the fact that working for the Ye family meant receiving twice the salary and benefits of other jobs, no one would want to work under such an old woman.
We're all just trying to make a living, working diligently and without slacking off, so why should we be nitpicked like this?
Some people found it annoying and argued back, only to be immediately threatened by the housekeeper with being fired.
The speaker was a young girl with delicate features.
Although young, she is eloquent and a leader among the maids.
No one did anything wrong, yet they were caught and lectured for no reason.
Infuriated, she said, "I still have work to do," and was then beaten by the housekeeper for being disrespectful.
Yi Mu stood at the top of the stairs, watching as the butler used words he would never normally say in front of the young master and madam to hurl insults at the young girl who had never even been in a relationship.
The language was so foul that it was simply unbearable to hear.
The girl has a sunny and cheerful personality and is usually not afraid of being joked about. She has a heart as vast as the Pacific Ocean, but she was still brought to tears by the housekeeper's words.
Yi Mu guessed that the butler was so brazen because he was certain that the madam was out meeting friends and the young master would be out socializing and returning home late.
To put it bluntly, it's just that the owner isn't home, and the dog is barking randomly because its owner is too powerful.
When the butler saw that the little girl had been scolded to tears, his expression did not soften; instead, it became even more stern.
"Why are you crying? You cry after just a few words. Young people these days are really terrible. If you can't do it, quit as soon as possible."
The man beside the girl had been holding back for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to step forward, but the cook beside him held his hand.
"Don't meddle in other people's business."
An elderly man who had worked for the Ye family for over a decade whispered a warning to the man.
It's not worth sacrificing a job with a higher salary than a white-collar worker in a prime location for a young girl.
After much hesitation, the man chose to remain silent.
At the same time, Yi Mu came down from upstairs.
The housekeeper was surprised to find him at home, especially since he had come downstairs. He frowned and immediately launched into a scathing reprimand.
"Why aren't you with the young master? How have I taught you? Why are you like these shameless people, always slacking off?"
Yi Mu was utterly exasperated by her. Her favoritism was so extreme that she seemed to have no sense of reason. She thought she had everything under control, but in reality, she was as ridiculous as a clown.
Now is not the time to lay all the cards on the table.
Yi Mu, with a numb and blindly filial expression, first told the steward that Ye Jianglin had instructed him to go home to rest, and then spoke up for the young lady.
"Young Master will be back soon. Mother, do you think we should have everyone disperse? Otherwise, it will have a bad influence if Young Master returns."
The housekeeper was inexplicably arrogant as she glared at Yi Mu.
"Don't try to scare me. Young Master has a social engagement and won't be home for at least two hours."
You're only fit to plead for someone like that, you spineless coward!
Yi Mu remained silent. His eyes seemed to be fixed on the butler, but he was actually looking at Ye Jianglin, who had just entered the room.
A subtle smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. It would take two hours to get home.
Ah, this is going to be good.
