Lin Che said,
So… I thought it was too late as well. It didn’t take that long for me to cook some instant noodles.

Gu Jingze merely glanced at her meaningfully and did not say anything more. He nodded and said,
Alright then. Let’s go. Since you’ve already cooked, go and eat first.

Lin Che went in to freshen up after the two of them had finished eating.
However, Gu Jingze’s expression darkened slowly.
Outside.


He looked at the person outside and said,
What has Madam been doing over the past two days when I wasn’t around? Get someone to tell me about it in detail.


Yes, Sir.

Gu Jingze obtained a response the moment he woke up the next day.

Sir, over the past two days… the maids seem to have been treating Madam a little shabbily,
the butler said.

In what way?


About that…
The butler broke out in cold sweat. He had not noticed it earlier and found out about it only after asking around.
The butler recounted it fully and dared not leave out a single detail.
After all, they were talking about Madam whom Sir loved tenderly and not someone else.
Usually, Sir could not bear to let Madam suffer at all. These new maids were way too tactless. How dare they play such little tricks in secret?
Perhaps it was because they had come here only recently and still did not know what Madam meant to Sir, so they dared to behave so boldly.


He could not even save himself now, much less bother about them.
Sir now knew that Madam had suffered. The only reason why he was not being fired as well was that he had been working here for so many years.
Gu Jingze said,
Alright. Bring them all to me.


Yes, Sir…

The butler hastily walked out and gathered the new batch of maids.
After entering, they looked at Gu Jingze and gingerly stood in two rows. They had their heads bowed and dared not look up.
Gu Jingze asked,
I heard that someone actually dared to disrespect Madam while I wasn’t around?

The maids remained silent. They did not seem to sense any danger yet.
Gu Jingze said,
Disrespecting Madam is equivalent to disrespecting me. It’s the same as disrespecting the Gu family…

His voice had initially been calm but it turned somber thereafter. In the end, his voice trailed off into complete silence. It made them feel as if his entire sentence was a blade he had swung at them. The sharp blade attacked them immediately and made their hearts turn cold.


Everyone instinctively felt that even the temperature in the room had gone down by a few degrees.

You were sent here after receiving proper training. You should know that disrespecting the Gu family is akin to betraying the entire clan. I’m sure that you know the consequences of betraying the clan better than me, right?

The people standing there instantly got slightly anxious. They hastily lowered their heads and said,
Sir, we wouldn’t dare.


You wouldn’t dare? Of course not. You not only dare to do it! You even did it!

He scoffed and raised his head immediately.
Take them out and punish them according to the family rules. From today onwards, I don’t want to see them anywhere ever again.

This time, the maids were completely flustered.

Sir, Sir. We were really in the wrong.

Someone had already started shouting and was even looking desperately in the butler’s direction.
However, the butler did not dare to look up at all. They themselves had a death wish. He should not have to suffer for their faults.
Seeing that no one was helping them, someone quickly said boldly,
Sir, it was because we felt indignant on your behalf. We felt that Madam did not care about you and did not fulfill her responsibilities as your wife either.




Ha. What are the responsibilities of being a wife? Does she have to ask all of you for advice?
Gu Jingze glanced over sharply and that person was so frightened that she nearly fell to the ground.

We… no matter what, it was Old Master who sent us here. On Old Master’s account, please give us another chance…


Ma’am sent us here to look after you. She would also be sad if you treat us like this.

In what way were they begging for mercy? These maids were saying that they were sent here by Old Master. If he punished them, how would he answer to Old Master?Read more chapter on vipnovel.com
Gu Jingze snickered.
Have you forgotten that I’m the current head of the family? Do you think that I still have to report to the family on something so trivial? If so, you’re truly mistaken.

He waved his hand and said calmly,
Increase the punishment for those who just spoke.


It’s…

They hesitated again.
Thereafter, Gu Jingze did not want to say another word and simply gestured for them to leave.

No… no, Sir…




Sir, we really won’t dare to do it again…

The people below wailed plaintively. They really had not expected Gu Jingze to actually disrespect Old Master and Ma’am because of such a trivial matter.
Initially, words about how harsh and frightening Gu Jingze was were just rumors. Now, they finally knew.
However, they had found out way too late. At this juncture, no one else could save them.
The Gu residence turned silent due to the departure of these people.
Thereafter, Gu Jingze instructed someone to bring over another batch of maids from the main house to fill the vacancies.
The people who came this time had heard about this matter earlier on. Furthermore, upon their arrival, the butler had immediately warned them. They could lay a hand on anyone except Madam. If they dared to make Madam suffer even a little, they could forget about staying alive.
He did not have to explain whether or not it was an exaggeration. He could just let them ask the people who had just been chased out. Of course, none of them would know where these people had been sent to and no one would want to know how exactly they were punished.
Lin Che only realized with alarm that something was wrong when she saw that the maids in the household had been replaced.
She went out and asked someone,
Why have the maids been changed?

The person replied,
Madam, the previous batch of maids were disrespectful towards you, so Sir immediately replaced them.


Huh? Is it okay for him to do that…
Lin Che continued,
To be honest, they weren’t too disrespectful either.

The maid said,
Of course, they were disrespectful. They thought that Madam was like other madams and had to be completely obedient to their own husbands. However, it’s not like that in our family. Sir is so doting on Madam. Madam is so dear to Sir. They didn’t know that and offended Madam as a result. Of course, Sir wouldn’t let them off. Actually, it was right for them to leave too. Before this, they had created a foul atmosphere in the house and there were rumors everywhere. They even spread the rumors back to the Gu residence. They’ve been getting on our nerves for a long time.


Seriously…
Lin Che continued,
I didn’t even know about this.


Yes. Madam, don’t worry. The new maids won’t dare to do the same. Just look at them. They’re much more obedient.


Sure.
Lin Che said,
But don’t you think that it’s not too good for Sir to spoil me too much?
Lin Che reflected on herself for a moment. She wondered if she really had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife to the point where outsiders could not tolerate it.

Of course not. We know how difficult it has been for you and Sir to come to this point. Madam, you’re such a good person. No matter how well Sir treats you, you deserve it too. Furthermore, Madam has never been with Sir for his money or power. Madam, you and Sir are truly in love. There aren’t so many rules for people who are truly in love.
