Chapter 2321: Chapter 2318: The Gloomy Steward Wang Qing

After a short while, the five of them arrived outside the school.

Along the corridor, they could hear the loud sound of reading, and furthermore, they felt that this courtyard was warmer than outside.

Gao Yunli and the other two didn’t ask much, but out of habit, they instinctively observed the courtyard.

After walking another two hundred meters, they saw a pavilion with bamboo curtains next to a half-open classroom, and Tang Dongfeng led the three of them inside.

What met their eyes was a carpet made of fur covering the ground.

Directly in front was a desk covered with many papers. A woman draped in a white cape sat behind it, writing intently, completely undisturbed by the outside world.

On either side of her desk sat three young people of different ages.

Surrounding them were wooden bookshelves filled with many books; some were not yet bound into volumes, and some didn’t even have titles, but most were well-organized.

“You’re here?” Ye Muyu heard the sound as the bamboo curtain was lifted, but as she was writing something important, she raised her head and said, “Why don’t you sit down and have some tea first? I’ll finish this up shortly, okay?”

“Lady, please continue your work. We’re not in a rush,” replied Tang Dongfeng, naturally not wanting to disturb her important task. He took this opportunity to glance through some books related to gambling.

Su Mei prepared socks for them to change their shoes.

She also found books for each of them based on their interests.

Hot tea, fruits, and pastries were plentiful.

With a brazier in the pavilion, it was quite warm. Initially, the three of them were somewhat nervous, but the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere soon settled their nerves.

Holding books that interested them, they slowly relaxed and became engrossed in reading.

By the time Ye Muyu finished the remaining two thousand characters, it was already two quarters of an hour later.

She set down her brush and rubbed her wrist.

Su Mei walked over and helped to dry the freshly written pages before putting them away once the ink had dried.

“Wang Lin, why don’t you three head to the school for now? You can start copying in the afternoon,” said Ye Muyu, giving them a break.

The three Attendant Students were usually quite straightforward and diligent with assigned tasks, but over time they tended to overwork.

Ye Muyu often arranged different coursework for them to help them relax.

Without much hesitation, they got up and left.

“Please remain seated,” she said as she noticed Gao Yunli and the others starting to stand and pay their respects.

Ye Muyu raised her hand to stop them.

Once they were seated comfortably, she began to inquire, “Would you be willing to work for me?”

“Lady, we would be honored,” they expressed their willingness.

Ye Muyu immediately noticed something unusual about He Nian. Although she found it strange why Tang Dongfeng would allow someone who couldn’t speak to work under her as a Steward, Ye Muyu wasn’t overly puzzled. Capability was what mattered.

“When I say work, I mean you must never betray me in the future. Regardless of your reasons for coming here or what you have experienced in the past, I won’t hold these against you, nor will I take your contracts.”

“However, as you have voluntarily agreed to work under me today, I assure you that the compensation will be fair, and your freedom will not be restricted. Our relationship is simply employment, a mutually beneficial partnership.”

“As long as you meet my expectations, everything will go smoothly.”

“But if you indulge in any underhanded tricks behind my back or cause any adverse effects to my family, I won’t be lenient. Although there are no contracts involved, I have other ways.”
