She could tolerate them if they were not diligent or lacked strength, these were minor issues. However, if they dared to lay hands on Ya Molian, she wouldn’t let them off.
"Each one of you, your faces marked with a slave brand, yet you dare to have such lofty ambitions. Did you think I bought you to live a life of comfort? Zhe Jue, go to the slaver, last time didn’t we see a nanny? I’m thinking she’s quite suitable now, go check if she’s still available, get her if she is."
Last time the slaver introduced a nanny who was too hard on her previous household’s servants, hurting one of them severely. She felt the nanny had a violent streak.
Looking at these maids with their greedy ambitions now, if she didn’t demonstrate some cruelty, she could not keep them in check.
"Yes, Miss Lin." Zhe Jue responded.
He also thought they needed someone to manage these maids, but bringing in a housekeeper was not appropriate. The better option was to buy a nanny.
"No need to tame her after buying, just hand her directly to me." Lin Caisang reminded him again.
Last time, those whom she bought back and were taken away by Jiang Li returned like spineless wimps. They didn’t reply even when reprimanded. Only after thoroughly disciplining the manager at her Scent Pavilion, she finally shown some backbone and could manage affairs properly.
She was buying a nanny to keep control of these maids, not to let the maids bully her.
"I understand," Zhe Jue touched his nose while answering.
Last time when Jiang Li was severely reprimanded by Lin Caisang, he was well aware of it. He presumed there wouldn’t be such blunders in the future.
But in his opinion, Lin Caisang was not lacking in taming abilities either. She had a strong character; and, he stole a glance at their lord who didn’t seem to object. Only then, he agreed.
"So... Miss Lin, if there’s no matter, may I leave with them?" He asked.
"What’s your rush? Are you very busy?" Lin Caisang rolled her eyes at him, retorting.
She had not finished disciplining yet. If she didn’t say things clearly in front of these people, they wouldn’t even know who their real master was!
"No, no, I’m not busy," Zhe Jue shook his head repeatedly.
Lin Caisang stepped forward, and her sharp eyes swept over the servants and the fifteen women.
"Listen carefully. This mulberry field belongs to me, each one of you are bought with my own gold and silver. Any one of you who disobeys or fails to work properly in the field, I won’t beat you to death on the spot."
She paused a little, her stern gaze slowly swept across the servants, noting that some dared to sigh in relief after hearing her words, she scoffed.
"You must’ve heard before, if no one bought you, you would be sent somewhere. If you don’t want to stay under me, I would send you wherever you want to go. Do not doubt my capabilities, when I say I can, I can!"
Several timid servants gasped upon hearing her words.
They had heard before that they would likely be sent to the military camp to be slaves. They had been praying for someone to buy them, saving them from such suffering and humiliation.
