“Young Madam, you don’t manage these things, so you naturally don’t know!” Xiao Yu’s tone carried a hint of resentment.
Luo Xi curled her lips and glanced at Leng Minxing, thinking to herself, your young master didn’t tell me that I would have to take care of these things after marrying him?
However, managing a large family like this was typically women’s work, and Luo Xi had always felt she lacked the talent for it, so she always let the butler handle everything. She didn’t expect such problems to occur.
“While you make a valid point, I must say that wherever you work, you will encounter unfair treatment. It’s the same in outside companies. If you can’t endure it here, then it’s difficult to find footing elsewhere. But since you’ve brought it up, I won’t let you suffer in vain. Butler, investigate who is using their status to slack off and bully the newcomers. Find them all and deduct half a month’s salary and bonuses. Anyone who is unsatisfied can just pack their bags and leave. If anything goes wrong, I, no, your young master will take the responsibility. As for you…” Luo Xi didn’t pay attention to the ugly expressions of the maids but looked at Xiao Yu.
She was young and didn’t seem to be a particularly bad girl. What was important was that she still knew how to deal with things. But what she did this time was indeed a bit too much. No matter the reason, stealing and retaliating was wrong. She also got Xiao Xiao involved, which was really a way of passing the buck1Blame.
Xiao Yu looked at her with a complicated expression, filled with regret in her heart.
If she had told Luo Xi sooner, would all of this have happened?
She slumped onto the ground, waiting for her own punishment.
“As for you, while it’s understandable, you’ve still made a mistake. Go work outside the villa. If you don’t want to, you can leave directly. Oh, and return my blood jade to me.” Luo Xi extended her hand.
Xiao Yu’s eyes widened in shock and she looked at her. “Young Madam, you’re not punishing me?”
“Didn’t I tell you to go work outside the villa? From now on, that area in the garden will be your responsibility. If you let your young master’s plants die, you know what the consequences will be.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked at her with joy and repeatedly expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity, Young Madam.”
“No need to thank me. I said I would give you a chance, so I will. Also, when will you return my blood jade?” She raised her hand.
Xiao Yu quickly took out a small box and handed it to her.
Luo Xi opened it and took a look. Seeing that it was undamaged, she nodded in satisfaction. Then she said, “Remember to apologize to Xiao Xiao.”
“Xiao, Xiao Xiao is not…” She started to say apologetically.
“I was just teasing you. She went home to rest.” Luo Xi smiled without any guilt.
“What, what? Did the Young Madam know it was me all along…” Xiao Yu’s face turned ugly.
“What else? Your skills are still too shallow.” Luo Xi shrugged and walked over to sit beside Leng Minxing. She blinked at him and asked, “Is what I did acceptable?”
Leng Minxing curled his lips, reached out to ruffle her hair, and said lightly, “Very good.”
“Then, what if those I punished go to the old residence to complain?” she asked, somewhat worried.
“Don’t worry, with me here, they won’t dare.”
Hearing this, Luo Xi smiled in satisfaction.
