Chapter 1054: The Agreement

"The management of our family's inner courtyard naturally falls to me," Ye Muyu stated unequivocally. She had no intention of earning silver at the front only to have the household erupt in chaos at the back. She was always fair to the servants, but rules had to be upheld nonetheless.

After all, the residence operated on a shift system, which meant that when they weren't required to work, the time belonged to themselves.

Once they left the residence, she wouldn't constrain them as long as they didn't misuse the residence's name to do wrong.

"Since Aunt Lin failed to abide, in accordance with the family rules, the penalty will be a tael of silver," Ye Muyu declared. In fact, there really were extensive family rules, detailed thoroughly in a substantial volume.

Since the servants were illiterate, she had the housekeeper read it aloud to everyone.

Lin Mianmian had a copy of the family rules too.

But she never looked at it, deeming anything from Ye Muyu beneath her consideration.
