47 -47 Used by Her as a Gun
“What’s the matter, did he do something last night that scared you?”
Lao Gu nodded gravely, “The young master punished one servant and dismissed two others.
Such things have never happened before.”
What mistakes did they make?” Lin Xinlan asked, a bit surprised.
“To tell you the truth, we don’t know what mistakes they made.
They themselves don’t know either.”
“That’s strange, then why did Rong Shaoze punish them?”
Lao Gu pondered for a moment before asking, “Young Madam, you mentioned that the young master smashed a bowl, I think it must have been because the porridge was horrible.
May I ask if you know who made the porridge last night?”
She clearly remembered that the servant in charge of the kitchen had already gone to bed.
No one had come to report to her that Shaoze wanted to have porridge, so she was puzzled about who had gone to the kitchen to make porridge for him.
Lin Xinlan said innocently, “I made the porridge.
He said he liked it sweet, but I didn’t know, so I added a lot of salt, and that’s why he got angry.”
“You made it?!” Lao Gu was a bit surprised, “Isn’t there someone specifically in charge of the kitchen?
Even at night, there should be someone on duty to prepare food for the young master anytime, why would the Young Madam have to do it herself?”
“You’re talking about that?
That’s because it was very late, and two on-duty servants said they didn’t know how to make porridge, and the auntie in charge of the kitchen was already asleep.
They said she had been tired from working all day, and they couldn’t bear to disturb her.
So I had no choice, it was I who went to do it.”
Lao Gu, having heard this, understood everything.
She looked at Lin Xinlan, who wore no emotion on her face, held back for a moment but still couldn’t help asking, “Young Madam, did you tell them that the porridge was for Shaoze?”
Lin Xinlan blinked her eyes, recalling, and said, “I forgot, maybe I did, maybe I didn’t.”
She shrugged her shoulders and continued watching TV.
Lao Gu’s heart suddenly chilled, realizing for the first time that this Young Madam, who rarely spoke and seemed to have no authority, was far from simple!
Who didn’t know that the servants in the villa were selected carefully?
Each of them could not only clean but also cook, and the education they received was equivalent to that of college graduates.
They could even speak English, and their skills were more impressive than those of an average white-collar worker.
Furthermore, their cooking skills were at least three-star level.
Those two servants claiming they couldn’t make porridge were blatantly lying.
But all the servants were loyal to Shaoze, and they wouldn’t decline an opportunity to serve him.
The only reason they lied was because Lin Xinlan had not told them that the porridge was for Shaoze; she certainly misled them into thinking it was for herself.
None of the servants had any respect for her, nor did they take her seriously.
When she asked them to make porridge, they would certainly refuse, but how could they know that they all had been played by her?
Lao Gu now understood the reason for Shaoze’s anger the previous night, as well as the reason for the punishment of the servants.
They had all been manipulated by the Young Madam, and Shaoze had become a pawn in her hands, used by her as a weapon.
Even though she knew the truth, Lao Gu was not angry, nor did she show any emotion.
Instead, she secretly warned the servants to be more polite to the Young Madam.
After all, Shaoze had a point.
They were merely servants of the Rong Family, and as such, they should abide by their duties and do what they were supposed to.
No matter what Lin Xinlan had done, or how her relationship with Shaoze stood, one thing was certain.
Her current status was that of the bona fide Young Madam of the Rong Family.
As long as her status remained, they had to treat her with courtesy and see her as the lady of the house.
