After seeing Chu Mingzhu off, Chunyu and Muli returned with Chu Jinyu.
Xie Yushu heard Chunyu say that the Anle Marquis's mansion was now just an empty shell, with only a few useless old women and servants left. They were completely bewildered by the current situation and didn't know how to get by in the future.
Some even knelt down in front of Chu Jinyu and cried.
Chu Jinyu was also feeling bad. He was listless after returning. At this moment, he seemed to know that Chu Mingzhu had taken away all of Anle Hou's money. Thinking of the helpless eyes of those old servants, he didn't know what to do.
Chu Jinyu would have to face these things sooner or later and learn to solve them, so Xie Yushu asked him directly.
"What do you intend to do about the situation at the Marquis of Anle's residence?"
Chu Jinyu shook her head and said softly
"I have no idea."
"So, what kind of life do you want the remaining people in your household to live? Or do you want to drive them away?"
Chu Jinyu thought for a moment and said
“Some of those people are old, and some are disabled. I heard that they are veterans from the battlefield who voluntarily came to live with me and my aunt. Now my aunt doesn’t want them anymore, and I want them to continue living in the Marquis of Anle’s mansion.”
But they said the Marquis of Anle's household was out of money, and in a few days, they wouldn't even have enough food!
"Since you want them to stay, let's tell them clearly and make it easy for them to stay."
Even if the Marquis's mansion is out of money, you still have a salary and annual rewards. We can take a portion of your salary to provide them with food and drink and give them monthly allowances.
However, when it comes to employing people, it's all about a combination of kindness and strictness. If you're willing to support them, that's a favor you're doing, but based on that, your requirement for them is to keep an eye on the Marquis of Anle's residence.
From now on, the Marquis of Anle's mansion will have no other master but you. If they cannot do this, then they should all be driven away, so that they will know what they should and should not do.
When Chu Mingzhu got married, she took all the wealth of the Marquis of Anle's mansion with her, leaving you no way out at all. She went too far in this regard.
Although it's not convenient for you to do anything right now, keep in mind that you don't owe her anything anymore. If she tries to make demands of you again as your aunt, you can refuse her openly and honestly.
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, Chu Jinyu frowned, thought for a moment, and then said...
"Mother, I understand."
"Alright, then let's go back to the Marquis of Anle's residence. Go and tell them what you want to say."
Remember, when you're reprimanding them, be serious. You are the master, and they must obey your words unconditionally. If anyone disobeys, you can simply kick them out.
This is your authority, you know?
"Mother, I've remembered!"
Seeing that Chu Jinyu was a promising young man, Xie Yushu immediately took Nanxing Chunyu, Jin Ge Muli, and accompanied Chu Jinyu to the Marquis of Anle's residence.
At the Marquis of Anle's residence, the remaining few people were sitting on the steps at the entrance, sighing and complaining.
Without a master to manage things, they don't know how much longer they can stay here. The Marquis of Anle's mansion has no land or shops, and the Marquis of Anle is still a baby.
If they were to leave, how difficult it would be for these elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people to make a living.
By this time, morale had completely collapsed. Without their master to serve them, these people didn't know what to do. They all looked gloomy and didn't even want to eat.
Just as the group was worrying, they heard the sound of carriages and horses outside the gate. They wondered who it could be.
Chu Mingzhu got married yesterday and will return to her parents' home tomorrow. Chu Jinyu went to the Jingde Princess's residence. Who will care about these useless people?
Despite their thoughts, someone still opened the door, only to find Chu Jinyu back, half-embraced by an elegant woman, accompanied by several attendants.
Although they had never formally met Xie Yushu, the name Xie Yushu was taboo in the Anle Marquis's mansion when Chu Mingzhu was around. The servants had already done their homework and knew about Chu Jinyu's relationship with her.
Moreover, Chu Jinyu went to find Xie Yushu as soon as he returned, which almost drove Chu Mingzhu crazy. There was also a man and a woman who had returned with Chu Jinyu yesterday. Upon opening the door and seeing their demeanor and protective attitude towards Chu Jinyu, they knew without a second thought who the visitors were. They immediately knelt down and bowed to Xie Yushu and Chu Jinyu.
"Greetings, Princess Jingde; greetings, Lord Marquis!"
"Get up. Call everyone in the manor to the living room. Your master wants to give you a speech."
Xie Yushu left her message and then went to the living room with Chu Jinyu.
Upon opening the door and hearing this, they immediately perked up. Xie Yushu had arrived. What did that mean? It meant, of course, that someone was in charge of them!
Seeing that Xie Yushu and the others had gone to the living room first, he immediately called the others over and ran after them.
In the living room, Xie Yushu and Chu Jinyu sat side by side in the main seats, looking at the nine people below. There were two people in their fifties who seemed to have difficulty walking, one who looked to be in his early forties whose right hand was missing half, three boys who were twelve or thirteen years old, an old woman, and two girls who were twelve or thirteen years old.
Judging from their clothes, they were all lowly servants.
The nine people stood respectfully below with their heads bowed, waiting for Xie Yushu to give them a speech.
But it was Chu Jinyu who stepped forward first. Yesterday, she was facing children who were still at a loss, but today she stood with her hands behind her back, giving them a serious lecture.
"I've heard that you were veterans under my grandfather's command, and that the wounds on your bodies were sustained on the battlefield."
Although the Chu family, including Chu Mingzhu, took all the money from the house, I still have my salary. As long as everyone is still in the manor, I will not let anyone go hungry!
From now on, the Marquis of Anle's mansion has only two masters: me and my mother. You can only listen to me and my mother. Anyone who dares to acknowledge someone else as their master will be expelled from the mansion.
