Ye Muyu was satisfied with the couple’s attitude.
She got up and brought the two of them to the room closest to the courtyard in the east wing.
This room was originally used for guests, but now it was used for a family to live in. It was a little cramped, but they could still stay there.
“Zhang Shu, Madam Hu, from now on, you two husband and wife will live here.”
“I plan to put a single bed in Ziluo and Lil’ Jin’s room. Zhang Cong will be in charge of Lilt Jin, and Nenya will be with Ziluo.”
“The house isn’t big, but there isn’t much for you to do. As long as you have the
Chu Clan in your heart, we will not mistreat you in the future.”
“However, if you have any disloyalty and I find out about it, don’t blame me for using your children to control you. I don’t like people to act one way in front of me and another behind my back.” Ye Muyu’s kindness and power were applied at the same time.
However, the rules of Great Chu’s slaves and their masters were even more severe. Basically, if the servants really betrayed their masters, even if they were beaten to death, the government would not care.
It could be seen that this era was a purely feudal society.
Ye Muyu had never thought of changing society. With her own strength, changing society was no different from dreaming. Therefore, she chose to adapt. Only by adapting to the rules of this dynasty could she have the ability to protect more people.
After reading the Great Chu Law, Ye Muyu already had a lot of understanding of Great Chu.
Although Zhang Shu and Madam Hu were soft when they spoke, the two of them understood that the Chu family was different, and they valued the Chu family even more than before.
The more a family valued rules, the more they valued the loyalty of their servants.
Zhang Shu and Madam Hu knelt down without hesitation. The two children also knelt down with a thud.
“Madam, don’t worry. We will never betray our master.”
Ye Muyu frowned when she saw the two children kneel down. Even though she was not used to it, she did not reject it. These two children would follow Ziluo and Lil’ Jin in the future, so she did not dare to make any mistakes.
“You guys can get up.”
“Madam Hu, follow me to the kitchen first.” “Zhang Shu, wait a moment. I’ll call Chu Heng to arrange things for you.” “As for Zhang Cong, you follow your father first.”
After Ye Muyu gave the order, the four of them did not dare to refute it. Madam Hu and Nenya quickly followed.
In the kitchen, Ye Muyu said to Madam Liu, “Mother, this is Madam Hu. The man outside is called Zhang Shu, her husband.”
“Madam Hu, then come in and help me light the fire,” Madam Liu said. At the same time, she sized up Madam Hu a few times and confirmed that there were calluses on her palms. She was only relieved when she confirmed that she was used to working.
Moreover, Madam Hu looked ordinary and had dark skin. It was obvious that she had worked in the fields before, so there was no way she would seduce Chu Heng. Although judging from the age of the two children, Madam Hu was not very old, Madam Liu could not help but worry.
It was because of Tang Rou that she was scared.
Even though her son had become a scholar, she had never thought of getting a concubine for her son. That was the habit of a wealthy family, and it was something that only a declining wealthy family would do when they had unworthy descendants.
It had to be said that Madam Liu was naturally disgusted with creatures like concubines. Because of some rumors, she had a huge misunderstanding.
Madam Hu did not move but looked at Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu was a little surprised. Although she hoped that the servants in the family were loyal, she had never really raised a servant. Even the servants in her previous life were treated as equals..
