Chapter 860: Authority, the master

Under the command of Housekeeper Cao, the servants put the meals on the table one by one. Seeing the familiar dishes on the table, Lin Chujiu had lost the desire to speak, and sat there with a blank face, staring at Housekeeper Cao.

Housekeeper Cao not only made small reports in private but also obediently obeyed and violated her orders. He was Xiao Wangfu’s good housekeeper!

Housekeeper Cao had been busy for a long time, but he was in a very good mood. However, when he was about to retreat with his servants to leave space for Prince Xiao and Lin Chujiu, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, looked up, and saw the calm expression on their prince’s face. No signs of anger can be seen, so his heart was slightly at ease.

As long as their prince was happy, everything will be fine.

Then he looked at Lin Chujiu, the smile on Housekeeper Cao’s face froze instantly, his legs trembled, and he cautiously stepped forward and said: “Wangfei, what’s your dissatisfaction?”

Their princess’s eyes were so scary, scarier than their prince’s cold knife-like eyes, no wonder he felt a chill down his spine.

“No, I am dissatisfied, and I am very satisfied.” Lin Chujiu was smiling, with a gentle smile, without a trace of gloom and anger, but the more so, the more Housekeeper Cao was afraid. Even Lin Chujiu didn’t say it, he took the initiative to say: “Wangfei please forgive this old slave, this slave…”

Even though he has been a slave for a long time, he was sweating anxiously, but Housekeeper Cao didn’t know why. How could he dare to say that he was doing it for the good of their prince and princess? As slaves, they only need to obey orders, and it was the most taboo to make decisions without authorization in the name of their masters.

However, if he admits that he has made his own decisions, their princess will not let him go.

“What Housekeeper Cao wants to say, just say it directly, I will forgive you.” Lin Chujiu spoke slowly, with a haughty expression, and the princess’s airs were full.

Xiao Tianyao sat silently by the side, neither cheering for Lin Chujiu nor excusing Housekeeper Cao.

The master of Prince Xiao’s Mansion was Lin Chujiu besides him, and his subordinates must not only be loyal to him but also loyal to Lin Chujiu. As for how the subordinates choose when they refuted Lin Chujiu’s orders, that was not something he had to consider.

Housekeeper Cao disobeyed Lin Chujiu’s orders, which was disrespectful to his master and should be punished according to the rules. Of course, if Housekeeper Cao didn’t tell the truth, and just let someone report it, he won’t let Housekeeper Cao go if he finds out in the future.

*Plop* Housekeeper Cao knelt solidly on the ground: “This slave has made the decision without authorization, and I ask wangfei to punish me.” He knew very well that if he quietly left the food and asked someone to tell their prince, their princess would be unhappy. However, even if he knew that their princess was unhappy, he still had to do it because he had to put the prince first.

This was his position, just like Zhenzhu and Manao chose to stand on Lin Chujiu’s side. There was no betrayal, it was just that the two masters in the mansion cannot always be harmonious and united, they will have some conflicts. This time, he chose their prince.

“Xiao Wangfu has its own rules, what punishment can I do to you?” Lin Chujiu didn’t look at Housekeeper Cao, picked up the teapot, and poured herself a glass of tea.

She was sleepy again and needs some tea to pick herself up.

“This slave will go down to receive the punishment.” Housekeeper Cao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and only punished him according to the rules, instead of dismissing his position. Although he may not receive their princess’s full trust in the future, he made their prince happy.

Nothing can be perfect. Not to mention that the two masters of their family were both awkward people, and they will have awkward fights from time to time. Their two masters love each other, but each has its confidants.

Between people, it was impossible to tell the whole story without any secrets and concerns of one’s own, let alone a newlywed couple who have only been married for a year, even blood relatives cannot do it.

“It’s a happy event to return to the capital today, how about halving the punishment?” Lin Chujiu’s attitude was right. Xiao Tianyao will naturally not intercede for Housekeeper Cao, and it was impossible for Housekeeper Cao not to take responsibility. But he still has to say something for Housekeeper Cao, otherwise, Housekeeper Cao would dare to report to him quietly in the future.

“Wangye, you can do whatever you want. After all, he is your servant. How to punish him is naturally your lord’s decision.” Lin Chujiu said with a smile, her eyes were respectful, but Xiao Tianyao was attracted by a few words. At first glance, it seemed that Xiao Tianyao wanted to punish Housekeeper Cao.

“Treacherous!” Xiao Tianyao commented truthfully with only two voices, then turned his head and took the punishment of Housekeeper Cao on himself: “Go down and receive the punishment, for the sake that the princess doesn’t care about you, the punishment will be halved. “

As a responsible man, he must be the bad guy for his good wife.

“Thank you, wangye, and wangfei.” Housekeeper Cao secretly wiped his sweat.

However, he always felt that there was something wrong with their prince’s words, but he couldn’t figure it out at the moment. Since their princess didn’t care about it, he had to accept only half of the punishment.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that not only should he secretly hate the princess for punishing him, but he should also be grateful to the princess. After all, the princess never said anything about punishing him.

Walking out of the flower hall, Housekeeper Cao shivered when the cold wind blew, and his mind cleared up.

Their princess never said to punish him from the beginning to the end, nor did she say how to punish him. He asked for the punishment automatically. Afterward, their princess did not say that he would be punished, but the prince said that he would halve it, and then their princess agreed, and his punishment was finalized.

“Wangfei is getting more and more powerful.” Housekeeper Cao couldn’t help but sigh. Even if he was punished, he still can’t feel any resentment. If their princess’s methods were not high, there will be no one with higher methods than her.

In Housekeeper Cao’s point of view, Lin Chujiu’s method can be called high, but in Xiao Tianyao’s point of view, Lin Chujiu was not confident and felt that she doesn’t have the authority of the master.

“A servant is a servant. Whether it is Benwang’s confidant or your confidant, they are all servants. You are the master. If they make you unhappy, you only need to say whoever you want to punish. No need to find a reason and there is no need to detour.” As soon as Housekeeper Cao left, Xiao Tianyao began to teach Lin Chujiu a lesson.

He knew that Lin Chujiu was smart, but smart people don’t need to be smart all the time, some things don’t need to work hard at all. As a master, if she wants to punish her subordinates, she can just give simple and rude orders, and whoever dares to refuse to obey, just kills them.

“You are a tyrant, I am not.” However, Lin Chujiu did not accept Xiao Tianyao’s point of view.

The living environment of each of them was different, Lin Chujiu already has her inherent thinking, and Xiao Tianyao can’t persuade her with a few words.

“It’s a waste to spend your mind on a servant.” Lin Chujiu has that spare time, so why not look at him more and say something more to him?

Well, Xiao Tianyao admitted that the main reason why he opened his mouth to teach Lin Chujiu was to hope that she would spend more time and energy on him instead of wasting it on irrelevant people… …
