"I see."

Gu Xi looked up and down and found that Chi Yan was soaked as if he had been caught in the rain while he was talking. He asked again, "Can I take a shower while wearing this?"

"Well, yes, yes."

After getting a positive answer, Gu Xi gave Chi Yan an order: "Go to my bathroom and wash yourself clean, then wait for me inside."

Gu Xi's tone was cold, but there was still some anger on his delicate face.

Chi Yan didn't dare to say anything more. He put on his pants with his broad hands and said, "Okay, Your Excellency the Duke, I'll go right away."

He bowed his head, then strode away.

Gu Xi covered his forehead and calmed down for a while. He recalled the scenes he had seen before where his father taught his disobedient subordinates a lesson, and then looked up some relevant laws on Starnet.

After making some general preparations, Gu Xi sent another message to Bai Si.

There was no way, she was not from this world, and she had zero experience of being a noble, so she would still feel a little insecure if she didn't ask an authority figure.

Fortunately, the message she sent received a reply from Bai Si very quickly.

After reading Bai Si's instructions, Gu Xi walked out of the room with his head held high.

Outside stood the two male waiters who had combed her hair.

Gu Xi said directly: "Let the housekeeper come to the study."

Two handsome male teenagers nodded their heads and said yes.

Gu Xi sat on the leather chair in the study, waiting for Hans to come over.

Hans came in with a small box in his hand. Seeing that Gu Xi had a strange expression, the smile on his face froze for a moment. He lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency the Duke, I'm here."

Gu Xi didn't say anything either, just stared at Hans coldly.

Hans kept his head down, not daring to move.

In this orc world, the males who are willing to be waiters are those with low levels of superpowers and low mental strength.

They have no other way out but to serve others to get a better life.

Some places also use females who have no fertility and mental strength, but females are females after all, and not many are willing to serve others.

They have a low social status and a low identity, so generally speaking, male waiters dare not challenge the nobles.

But after standing there for a long time, Hans spoke up unconvinced and asked Gu Xi: "May I ask, Your Excellency the Duke, I have been managing the Duke's Mansion conscientiously since I came here. I wonder what I have done to make you so angry?"

He came to the Duke's Mansion as a butler with a mission. How could he be willing to be easily controlled by the young Gu Xi?

Gu Xi said in a cold voice: "You are just a butler, and you dare to question your master. For this, I can send you to the servants' prison."

The servants' prison was a punishment institution set up by the nobles to control the servants in their houses. As long as there was a class of nobles, there would be no true equality for all people.

Once you enter the servants' prison, you won't be able to find a job when you get out and will end up in the slums.

Even though Hans felt that his master was not Gu Xi, he was inevitably frightened by Gu Xi's words. After he successfully became a palace attendant, he lived a privileged life for decades. How could he be willing to become a pauper?

At the same time, Hans still felt strange.

After Gu Xi woke up in the morning, he treated the servants very kindly. That sweet and innocent smile made even a middle-aged male like him feel moved.

Why is it that she seems like a female now, with her words carrying the unique pressure of a superior?

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Hans' forehead. He couldn't help but bend his waist more tightly and answered Gu Xi respectfully: "Duke, it's Hans' fault. Please don't send me to prison."

Gu Xi changed to a more comfortable position and leaned back in the chair, supporting his chin with his white little hand, and asked casually: "I heard that you are in the palace and are the steward of the palace of the Crown Prince's biological father? Speaking of which, since this Duke has marked Bai Yu, I should also call him Father Queen while calling him Mother Queen."

"I understand that my father cares about me. But the Duke's Mansion is only the Duke's Mansion after all. If everything is managed like the Imperial Palace, I don't know if outsiders will say that the Crown Prince wants to take the throne sooner, or that I, the Crown Prince's mistress, want to rebel."

As soon as Gu Xi said this, Hans felt weak all over and fell to the ground.

The royal family of the Nor Empire has always had only a crown princess, and this is the first time a male crown prince has appeared.

Once a male becomes a bestial husband to a female, he becomes an appendage in the female's family and in some cases will be punished as well.

The crime of treason is included in the scope of joint punishment.

Not to mention Gu Xi's beastly husband, once it is confirmed that Gu Xi is plotting a rebellion, the entire Duke's Mansion will be imprisoned in the interstellar prison.

Not to mention that the Queen is in good health now. If the Crown Prince wants to rebel in advance, who knows if he will be rejected by the Queen? By then, even if the Crown Prince has offspring, what can he do?

Seeing Hans getting scared, Gu Xi said, "Leave the box here. You are not allowed to interfere in anything that happens to my husband. Just manage the waiters and other trivial matters in the Duke's mansion. If you do well, your salary will naturally increase."

"But if you continue to eat at both ends and stretch your hands too far, this Duke doesn't mind if something unexpected happens and I chop you off."

"Yes, Your Excellency Duke, I understand." Hans put the box on the table tremblingly and left trembling.

Only after Hans left did Gu Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

She fiddled with the earbuds in her ears, started the video call, and asked, "Uncle Emperor, how did I perform?"

On the virtual screen, Bai Si, who was still wearing his monocular glasses, had a pleased smile in his eyes: "Xixi did a great job."

Gu Xi complimented playfully: "It was my uncle who taught me well, otherwise how would I know how to say it?"

"No way." Bai Si's golden eyes were filled with genuine praise, "My uncle, don't dare take the credit for this. Those words were very powerful, and they were all your own thoughts."

He was a prince of the empire, and he had no desire to fight for power. As the empress's sister, she would not be defensive against him and showed him all of Gu Xi's information.

Gu Xi came from a poor area, and only suddenly got a noble title after his second awakening. He had only been an adult for two months, and had been a duke for less than a month, so it was really great that he could control the butler with both kindness and force.

Well, it’s more than good.

The fact that she can survive the Zerg successfully means she is not an ordinary female.

Bai Si thought about it and gave Gu Xi another suggestion: "Since you want to be in charge of the Duke's Mansion yourself, you still have to pay the salaries of the guards in the Duke's Mansion. It would be best if you could find someone who is completely your own to work for you and manage the Duke's Mansion's property."

Gu Xi learned this from his parents.

When managing a company, you must learn to let each department check and balance each other. When promoting subordinates, you cannot just promote one person, but let them fight with each other.

Only in this way can the company be good.

It seems that this is how the Duke's Mansion should be managed. However, where can she find people who only listen to her?

Bai Si saw Gu Xi frowning and gave another suggestion: "The Nor Empire has a job market on the Star Network. Xixi can go to the Star Network to have a look."

Interstellar Internet access is not just about tapping on the screen, there is also a holographic Internet access mode.

Gu Xi knew what to do and thanked Bai Si again.

Then she suddenly remembered that there was Chi Yan waiting for her in the room.

"Uncle Emperor, I won't bother you packing up anymore. I'm going to get busy. See you in the afternoon."

Bai Si saw the box that Gu Xi collected. It was something produced by the royal family and had a special label on it.

Gu Xi didn't want her beastly husband to suffer, so it was obvious what she was anxious to do at the moment.

"You can go." Bai Si gently instructed, "But you just woke up from a coma, so you still need to take care of yourself."

Gu Xi regarded Bai Si as his elder, and when he heard the hidden instructions, his face turned red.

She clearly didn't say why she wanted to punish the butler, so why did it feel like the imperial uncle seemed to know everything?
