Qiao Xuan smiled, her demeanor calm and composed, as she addressed the gathering. "Alright, that's all for now. Go back to your homes and attend to your duties. Just remember that, from this moment onward, I am your master. The mulberry garden is no longer associated with the Zheng Family or the Zhao Family."
She continued, "If there's anyone among you who wishes to remain loyal to the previous owner, you are free to leave. I won't stand in your way. The terms of your tenancy are clear; if the old owner wishes to reclaim you, they can do so at the original price. I won't create any obstacles."
"But if you choose to stay, you must acknowledge me as your master. If I discover any treachery or hidden agendas, I won't be lenient. Betraying one's master is an irreversible path, and I hope all of you will conduct yourselves accordingly."
"Now, you may depart."
