Chapter 2322: Chapter 2319: Transcribing Wang Lin

“If you dare to betray, you’ll regret it. If you don’t believe me, feel free to try.” Ye Muyu’s gentle face turned slightly cold, and although her words were understated, the final warning made it hard to doubt her sincerity.

He Nian was the first to kneel, bowing his head towards her, his attitude clear.

Just as he was about to bow again, Su Mei pulled him up.

“You don’t need to kneel to me. I’ve already said, you’re not my servants, I don’t need you to kneel to prove your loyalty. As for you two, I can see it, you probably dislike kneeling as well, don’t you?” Ye Muyu pointed at Gao Yunli and Wang Qing.

Their expressions changed slightly, hesitating whether to speak the truth or not.

Ye Muyu didn’t need their answers and smiled, “Don’t be nervous, if you’re unwilling to kneel before me, it’s perfectly normal. Men have dignity, whether one wishes to kneel before others depends on one’s convictions; some people don’t mind, while others have proud unyielding spines and consider kneeling as a disgrace.”

“I won’t break your pride, just kindly remind you that if you want to straighten your back and continue being proud forever, you must rely on your skills to grow, otherwise anyone could step on you.” Ye Muyu’s tone was very calm, more like a heart-to-heart talk than a reprimand.

“Thank you, madam.” Gao Yunli and Wang Qing suppressed their inner turmoil and saluted her.

He Nian remained silent, standing quietly aside, looking at her with reverence.

“Seems like you’re all willing to stay and work for me; don’t worry, I won’t treat you poorly.” Ye Muyu asked Su Mei to prepare a blank sheet of paper and paper, ink, brush, and inkstone for the three of them.

“Madam, what is this?” Gao Yunli’s voice was gentle, and upon seeing respect in Ye Muyu’s eyes, he understood why his master was willing to work for her.

Initially thought of as a kind-hearted mistress, he found Madam Chu to be even more remarkable than he imagined.

She actually respected him.

It was clear that Madam Chu didn’t concern herself with distinctions in rank and status.

Such a unique mistress had dispelled his initial unease upon meeting her.

He felt confident in his decision.

“Write down your goals, then take them back. In the future, look back and see if you have been true to yourself today.” Ye Muyu said.

Wang Qing’s pupils contracted slightly, suppressing the surging emotions within, he picked up the brush and started writing swiftly.

He Nian didn’t hesitate either; his thoughts were simple, and his writing straightforward.

Gao Yunli thought of his past family vendetta, gripping the brush tighter and breathing deeply, he was about to write.

Ye Muyu suddenly reminded, “Right, don’t write anything that might bring trouble upon yourself. If you can’t write it, just mark it down, as long as you understand in your heart. I won’t look, but if you fail to protect it well and cause trouble, that’s not good.”

“Furthermore, you might get implicated by my Chu family and investigated by others. If they find something, it won’t be good. Be prepared to protect your privacy, understand?” Ye Muyu said, somewhat helplessly.

This ancient era has no privacy at all.

Especially for ordinary families, those in power, if they wish to investigate, can send people to tarnish reputations and search the whole house.

The key is that the government doesn’t interfere, and in such situations, one can only accept their fate, as they have no power or influence.
