After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

Looking up at Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao quickly bent down and walked to Xie Nanxing, helping Xie Nanxing out of the warm room.

Xie Nanxing only walked around these people twice, and his sick breathing could be heard, giving the servants kneeling on the ground a preliminary understanding of the health of the master of the Xie Mansion.

Mo Ping brought out a chair from the warm room. Xie Nanxing sat on the chair and coughed a few times, saying:

"Some of you have been serving me and Lord Shen since Xiangzhu Courtyard, and some of you are meeting me for the first time today. You have more or less heard about my Xie Mansion before entering the mansion."

"Before, I was not a master who needed a housekeeper in the Princess's Mansion, so naturally I didn't worry about anything. But now this is the Xie Mansion, and I am the master of this mansion who has the final say. Everything in the mansion must be decided by me."

"The status of the Xie Mansion cannot be compared with that of the top nobles in the Princess' Mansion. Even the background of most of the court officials in Luoan is much higher than that of my Lord Shen."

"Lord Shen and I have always been close friends. Naturally, no one is allowed to enter our house. Those who have other thoughts should leave as soon as possible."

"I take loyalty very seriously and I cannot tolerate gossip. If I hear a rumor, beating a few servants is not a big deal."

"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. I'll give you a cup of tea. If you have other ideas, those who have a death contract can collect their indentures and leave. Those who have a living contract can go to Butler Mo to get their remuneration."

"Although my Xie family is not a wealthy family, we are not the kind of people who would arbitrarily criticize our servants. Regardless of whether it is a life contract or a death contract, I will give you an extra 200 coins when you leave in a few days."

After Xie Nanxing finished this long conversation, he picked up the warm tea and drank it calmly.

He had too much to do and could not spend too much time in the inner house. He could only eliminate these people in the most direct way.

Mo Ping immediately asked the servant to take out the copper coins and the indentures. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Xie Nanxing releasing these slaves who had been bought with money.

These people who are already dissatisfied with their master and want to leave will inevitably cause greater trouble in the future if they stay.

The servant kneeling in front of the courtyard was also full of thoughts.

Not only has the Xie family offended the eldest princess, but they also have such a sickly head of the family. At first glance, they don't look like a promising family, and they may not be able to gain anything by following them.

The head of the family also told them directly that they could not get close to the main courtyard at all. No matter if they wanted to climb onto Shen Jinmo's bed or try to steal information from Shen Jinmo, they had to give up at this moment.

The seventh-rank officials serving the prime minister, those servants who were highly valued in the Princess's Mansion and assigned to the prince of the mansion, had been working in the Xie Mansion for two months. Those who felt a sense of disparity complained openly and secretly countless times, thinking that it was Xie Nanxing and Shen Jinmo who delayed them.

The servants kneeling in the yard exchanged ideas among themselves, and the braver ones began to stand up. After seeing someone really leave with the indenture and copper coins, those who were eager to try also went towards Mo Ping.

Xie Nanxing lowered his head slightly to drink tea, not caring about anyone's departure.

Not to mention the departure of these servants today, even if Mo Ping and Yang Huai leave in the future, Xie Nanxing will be able to accept it calmly.

If you force someone to stay who wants to leave, the outcome will be a lose-lose situation.

There were originally more than seventy slaves, but after nearly two cups of tea, only about forty were left.

Seeing that those kneeling down had no intention of moving again, Xie Nanxing put down the teacup and said:

"I am notoriously in poor health, and Steward Mo has been serving Lord Shen since he was a child. We have always trusted him in this mansion. From now on, Steward Mo will have the final say on your errands."

The person kneeling on the ground was a little more respectful than before: "Yes."

Xie Nanxing waved his hand, and all the servants retreated.

His eyes fell in the direction where Mo Ping was, and Mo Ping quickly approached Xie Nanxing: "Please give me your orders, Master."

The sharpness in Xie Nanxing's eyes faded a little: "A Ping, Shen Jinmo and I are not the kind of people who care about ostentation, and we don't care about having any face in Luoan. We only have one request, which is that this mansion must be clean."

The word "clean" has two meanings. One is that the Xie Mansion must be clean and bright, and the other is that the servants must not do such dirty things that would betray their master.

"Master, rest assured. I will re-design the work regulations for each place in the next few days."

"A Ping, thank you for your hard work." With a look of approval, Xie Nanxing expressed his thoughts to Mo Ping:

"These tasks are all daily chores. After sorting them out, we must also pay attention to rotation among personnel to avoid any thoughts of forming cliques in private."

"Replace the bad people in the mansion regularly and add some new people in. Don't let the mansion produce those who take advantage of their age and seniority."

Mo Ping nodded repeatedly without any response.

He originally thought that Xie Nanxing didn't know much about how these housekeepers run the household, so he entrusted everything to him.

Now it seems that this is not the case. Xie Nanxing has his own scale in his heart and knows clearly what he should and should not do and where.

"Money and affairs must be managed separately."

When Xie Nanxing said this, he felt a little guilty. He himself hadn't earned any money yet, so he couldn't let Qi Lingjun support the Xie family, right?

"A Ping, does our family have any money now?"

It was not until this question was asked that Mo Ping connected Xie Nanxing in front of him with the young master from before.

"Your salary is estimated to be 8,000 taels a year. The farms and fields that the late emperor awarded to you in the early years have now been included in the Xie Mansion's account. Although the Xie Mansion is not as rich as those wealthy families, our mansion is not too desolate."

Mo Ping stopped there. The farms and fields divided from the Princess's Mansion far exceeded the rewards Shen Jinmo received in the past.

After all, the rewards received before the age of nine were mostly gold, silver and jade items that could not be sold.

But the late emperor did favor Shen Jinmo too much, and Xia Xin had already made plans to deal with these things, so no one thought that Xia Xin treated Shen Jinmo well.

Man Luoan knew that Xia Xin was a respectable man. Even though they had severed all ties, he would not do anything like taking over his son's assets.

Xie Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ahuai will have other things to do in the future, but when he comes back, you can discuss it with him. If you have more people to supervise the money matters, you will have less pressure."

Mo Ping used to be the steward of Princess Pingnan's mansion, so he naturally knew that matters involving money in the mansion had to be handled with extreme caution.

But now that the mansion had just been built, he couldn't easily appoint someone to go with him to check things. Now that Xie Nanxing had taken the initiative to bring it up, he felt relieved.

"Yes, when Master Yang comes back, I will go to discuss the rules with him."
