Chapter 10 - Reasons for Punishment (1)
Qing Yue listened to the young master muttering like this, the look on her face did not change. Then she thought of the undecided matter just now and continued to ask, “Young master, can I have some maids to serve An Fulang?”
Zang Ya did not answer her question immediately but asked, “How do you think he is doing?”
Qing Yue thought for a while and then said, “Fulang looks very good.” After thinking about it, she added, “Compared to when he was just sent here, his face is much rosier.”
Zang Ya looked at the dishes in the bowl and said immediately, “Since he takes good care of himself, there is no need for this maid.”
‘Since it is a pet that you keep, it cannot get too close to others, even if that person is a maid.’
Qing Yue was not surprised when she heard this. Although the young master treated An Fulang as if he was kept in a golden house, the servants like them still couldn’t figure out what the young master thought about the fulang.
After Zang Ya said this, he seemed to have finally gained an appetite. He finished his meal in a few seconds, then got up and headed outside. He had a banquet to attend today.
Before leaving the room, Zang Ya said to Qing Yue who wanted to follow him, “Today, you don’t have to follow me. You can stay to organize the house and check the things in my name. I don’t want what happened last time to happen again.”
Upon hearing this, Qing Yue stopped following him and responded softly, “Yes.”
When Zang Ya left with his attendants, Qing Yue stared at his back, looking a little guilty. When she turned to talk to the little maid next to her, her face had returned to calm, and she said directly, “What happened last time was my dereliction of duty. Now, go and get the account books and keys of the young master’s warehouse. I will go and count every warehouse. Then go and inform the guards in the mansion. From now on, after I finish counting the warehouses, I will check all the rooms in the mansion. Stay tight, no one is allowed to go out.”
Qing Yue also followed the young master all day long and only thought about serving him. She forgot that no matter how strict the management in this house was, if it was not checked for a long time, the people below would get up and have delusional thoughts.
Last time, the young master didn’t like to drink, so naturally, he didn’t go to the wine warehouse very much, so the supervision of the wine warehouse was relaxed a little.
Who knew that the servants guarding there were so bold that they dared to take out the precious wine inside to exchange for money, and even substituted some inferior wine in the wine warehouse in order not to be discovered.
That day, Zang Ya brought a bottle of wine and opened it in full view of everyone.
Those present were either the children of high-ranking officials or the sons of wealthy businessmen. They had drunk all kind of good wine. As soon as Zang Ya opened that wine, they could smell it and know the quality of it.
At that time, the group of people didn’t know if Zang Ya took the bottle of wine over. Did he really think that bottle of wine was good wine, or was he just trying to trick them?
A few people hesitated, thinking about Zang Ya’s usual style and his identity. They felt that whether he didn’t know it was a bad wine, or Zang Ya deliberately brought a bottle of bad wine to tease them, if they took it seriously, they would probably not be able to get out alive. Therefore, everyone thought it didn’t matter whether Zang Ya had bad wine or good wine, they just wanted to let him win.
Everyone thought so, but Zhao De’s expression showed some clues. However, he was still afraid of Zang Ya asking him to compete just now, so he didn’t dare to be too showy.
Zang Ya didn’t like drinking, but he wasn’t an idiot. Seeing their different expressions, the emotions in his eyes seemed a bit complicated.
Seeing that they acted strangely after he took out the wine, Zang Ya directly poured a glass of the wine and drank it. Even though he never liked wine, he could taste the poor quality of the wine.
When he took out the wine from the wine warehouse to attend the party before, nothing had happened. So, the problem must have been in the wine warehouse. When he thought that someone dared to deceive him on his territory, Zang Ya’s eyes became a little colder.
Although the change in Zang Ya’s expression was not obvious, the people around him were good at observing emotions. Even though they knew there was something wrong with the wine, and Zang Ya himself did not know about it. So, someone stood up and suggested that the competition should be held another day.
Zang Ya didn’t want to agree at first, but Zhao De’s expression showed dissatisfaction. It was too obvious, which made Zang Ya feel a little unhappy, so he agreed.
Seeing Zhao De angry and helpless, Zang Ya felt a little more comfortable, but this comfort only lasted for a moment. Soon he thought about how there was someone in his mansion who dared to be so blatant in deceiving him.
So, after agreeing on a time for the next gathering, and chatting about other things for a while as everyone changed the topic, Zang Ya returned to the mansion and carried out those cleaning actions.
.
“Yes!” The two little maids received Qing Yue’s order. One went to get the keys and account book, and the other went to notify the guard at the door.
So, for one afternoon, wherever Qing Yue passed, the servants were all trembling with fear. They looked at Qing Yue as if they were looking at the executioner who decided their life and death, fearing that their usual carelessness would bring disaster to themselves.
