nd look for him Should I just go out and find some food myself"Chunlan was also hungry, her stomach ached with hunger. She refused to accept it, she didn't dare believe that Wang Tiezhu had really not...Fāng Jǐnxiù was busy until late last night, she probably hasn't woken up yet.

The servants in the front hall served tea and snacks to those seated inside. After finishing, they gathered in twos and threes outside, excitedly discussing what had just transpired.

"Goodness me, is the man sitting inside really the old woman's husband"

Although he's a bit older, you can tell he was very handsome when he was young. He also has an air about him that's different from ordinary people.

Of course! Look at our old madam, she's so beautiful. Who would guess she's over forty She looks younger than my mother.

"But how come this old master didn't live with his wife and young mistress, instead coming to pay a visit like a guest"

"This, this isn't reasonable either."

This batch of servants are newcomers and don't know much about the clan's affairs.

They were so engrossed in their conversation that neither Mu nor Jin Yu noticed them approaching until Jin Yu let out a light cough and rebuked them with a stern face.

"You have such audacity, to discuss the old mistress and young mistress here!"

"Want to get a beating, do you"

Several young women's faces changed color. Upon seeing Mrs. Mu, they hurriedly knelt down with thudding sounds.

Collective pleas for mercy.

Ms. Mu softened her heart very much. She didn't have much of a temper to begin with. Jin Yu scolded the few young maidservants, making them tremble with fright. She immediately waved her hand.

"Forget it, they're still young. We'll teach them the rules gradually."

Jin Yu knew that the old lady was kind-hearted and disliked punishing servants, so he could only give up helplessly.

"Consider yourselves lucky, but don't take the old lady's good temper for granted and run wild with your words."

"Next time, I'll report to the mistress. The mistress doesn't have the same good temper as the old lady. Then, whether you can continue to stay at the manor is uncertain."

The Jinshu Mountain Villa is truly a rare place in the capital city where servants are treated kindly and generously. Almost everyone who comes here doesn't want to leave.

Three girls, upon hearing this, immediately turned pale with fright. They bowed repeatedly and apologized, this time with much more sincerity and earnestness than before.

"Sister Jin Yu, we maids truly know we were wrong. We will never dare to gossip about our mistress behind her back again."

"Please don't tell the mistress."

Jin Yu ban nodded, "Then let's see your performance. Don't let me catch you again."

Before she could finish her words, several girls hurriedly kowtowed and assured her that there would be no next time.

Only then did she let the three go.

Mu, seeing this, shook her head helplessly and looked at Jin Yu, "Aren't you a bit too harsh on them"

This little Jin Yu, she used to be so timid, when did she become this serious and imposing

Jin Yu was also helpless. As she helped Mu Shi continue walking towards the front hall, she explained.

"Madam, I don't want to be so stern and act like a villain, but the young mistress said, 'If you are kind, people will take advantage of you, and if you are strong, people will ride on you.'"

"You are too soft-tempered. If I were also soft, wouldn't those servants ride roughshod over us"

"You don't have to worry about these things, anyway, with the servants around, they won't let these lower class people bully you."

Mu smiled sheepishly, “Jinxiu's decision to keep you girls was truly wise. It's fortunate you're all here now. This large manor would be too much for her to handle alone.”

"I'd love to help, but I'm afraid I might just make things worse if I actually get involved."

Jin Yu comforted Mu Shi.

"Rest assured, Madam. We maids are eternally grateful for the young mistress's life-saving grace."

"Besides, you don't need help. You are irreplaceable in Madam's heart. As long as you take good care of yourself, she can rest assured and do anything."

"You are the anchor of this family, Miss Yulian and Young Master Zongbei must think so too."

Mr. Mu blushed a little at the mention.

She was so lucky, the few children around her, including her daughter-in-law, were all sensible and capable.

There has never been a problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in their family, she is as close to her daughter-in-law as she is to her own biological daughter.

As they talked, one foot stepped into the living room.

Zong Pingchuan had long heard the sound outside the door. When Mu Yunhe stepped into the hall, he put down his teacup and stood up, walking excitedly a few steps forward to greet her.

"Yun He, I didn't expect you would still be willing to meet me. I, I am so happy."ang Jinxiu returned to Gu Feng's room. Gu Liusheng saw that she was back so quickly and found it strange. He was about to speak when he looked up and saw her face, and his brow furrowed."How could you...
