Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

The two servants exchanged a glance, naturally understanding Xiao Lan's intention. Even so, they felt there was no need to hesitate. With Master Sun bedridden, the mistress was the one in charge of the household. Who else could they listen to?

The two nodded, "From now on, I will follow Madam's arrangements."

"Madam...then we...I was the one who stopped them last night..." A maidservant wanted to say something, but stopped herself mid-sentence. She wanted to say that she had stopped the old lady and Sun Jiye from running towards the gate last night, but what did these two people mean to Xiao Lan?

The other girls saw that she was hesitant to speak and instantly lost their patience.

"Madam, we were wrong before, but we are just servants and cannot be the master's master... The grudge between you and the old lady really has nothing to do with us!" A maid said aggrievedly.

"Yes, madam, please... don't send us away!" Another maid echoed.

Jasmine looked at them and rolled her eyes. "Which of you hasn't given our Madam a hard time before? Taking advantage of working in the Madam's house, who hasn't given me trouble for no reason?"

"Well... then this is a matter between us and has nothing to do with Madam. How can we have the guts to give Madam a bad face? If we are too polite to Madam, Old Madam and Mother Yu will scold us too!" A maid was not convinced.

"Shameless! Last time, it was you who joined Ziwei in making fun of our Madam and said she would die early! You told me to find a servant to marry as soon as possible! So that I could have a living! Did you say that?" Jasmine pointed at a maid in green clothes, and the maid reached out and slapped her hand away.

"Don't talk nonsense in front of the lady! Madam, don't believe her nonsense. She just can't stand us!"

"Okay, Jasmine! Weren't you tired enough last night? You still have time to talk about this!" Xiao Lan winked at Haitang, and Haitang pulled Jasmine back.

She knew that Jasmine hadn't rested all night and had truly been wronged before, and now she was just venting.

"Everyone, were you all serving in the old lady's room before?" Xiao Lan asked.

Four maids stepped forward and said, "We four are." They knew that this matter was also out in the open.

Xiao Lan nodded and glanced at Haitang. Haitang pulled at Jasmine, who shook her hand off but still took out some silver and walked over again.

Jasmine was unwilling from the bottom of her heart that Xiao Lan was going to give money to these girls, but Xiao Lan insisted on doing so and she could not persuade him.

"Five taels per person!" Jasmine handed it out, and the four maids quickly took it and bowed to express their gratitude.

"We won't leave either. We will only listen to Madam from now on!" A maid spoke first.

"These five taels of silver are severance pay. I will terminate your indentures. From now on, you will be free and can go anywhere, but you cannot stay here."

Xiao Lan took another sip of tea, waiting for the maids to start shouting. Sure enough, one of them shrieked, "Why can those servants stay, but we can't? Don't they also turn a blind eye to your suffering in this house?"

"They are indifferent, and you are kicking them when they are down! It's different!" Xiao Lan said lightly, making everyone quiet down and unable to say a word.

"Besides, Jasmine doesn't like you, so I won't keep you here! I'm letting you go now because, no matter what happened last night, we've been through thick and thin together. If you're still dissatisfied, I can hire a human trafficker to sell you somewhere else, so you don't have to worry about where to go."

Jasmine looked back at Xiao Lan, and Xiao Lan winked at her. Jasmine's lips, which had been pouting just now, were now half open in surprise, and she was speechless.

The four maids wanted to say something else, but Xiao Lan looked at the two uninjured servants and said, "Please help them pack up their belongings and send them out of the house!"

The two servants agreed and stood in front of the four maids, forming a human wall and forcing them out of the main hall.

There are four maids left, one is Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, and the other two are the maids who used to do the rough work with Xiaoqing and Xiaobai.

"There's no need to talk about you two. Miss Fang likes you so much that she's probably reluctant to let you go. But if you're willing to go, I'll set you free."

Xiaoqing and Xiaobai looked at each other and shook their heads. "We're not leaving. It doesn't matter where we go. Miss Fang treats us very well."

Xiao Lan nodded, and the two maids also expressed their unwillingness to leave.

Now, there are only these people in this mansion. This huge house is definitely not enough to accommodate them. But she doesn't want to care about it now. After all, this is not her final destination.

Those who should have stayed had left. Xiao Lan asked the two injured servants to go back first, and Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai, who had choked on the cigarette, also went back to rest. Now it seemed that only Hai Tang still had some strength left, but even if they didn't want to use her, there was really no one else who could use her.

"Haitang, go to the tavern on the street and ask someone to bring some lunch. Bring some chicken, duck, fish, meat, and delicious drinks. And prepare some for the maids and servants at home. Now that we don't have a kitchen or a cook, I don't want you to waste any more effort."

As she spoke, Xiao Lan took out a silver note from her sleeve and handed it over. It was the one she had just picked up in the warehouse.

Haitang looked at the fifty-liang silver note in her hand and felt that it was a bit too big, and she felt uneasy.

"What's wrong? You don't dare spend money?" Xiao Lan looked at her expression, her face full of ridicule for her lack of worldly wisdom. "Follow me from now on, and it will be your turn to spend big! Go! Be generous!"

Jasmine reached over and took the banknote. "Tell those two servants to go. I'll check the accounts later!"

Xiao Lan raised her eyes to look at her, with admiration in her eyes.

"You are the only one who doesn't mind the trouble. Why don't I go? Why ask others to go when you are afraid that they will deduct money from you?" Haitang glanced at her.

"What do you know? The Sun family is now ruled by the Madam, and she has to know exactly who is around her! If these two servants have bad hands, it's better to get rid of them as soon as possible!" After saying this, Jasmine took the silver and went out.

Haitang thought for a long time and looked at Xiao Lan, "Moli has too many ideas, doesn't she?"

"Yeah, I can be the housekeeper!" Xiao Lan stood up and stretched out her hand for Haitang to support her. She was really exhausted from the busy day and wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw Jasmine coming back.

"Madam, I've sent the servants away, but those maids are still cursing at the door. It's so annoying!"

Jasmine curled her lips. If she wasn't so tired and hungry, she would have really put in the effort to quarrel with them!

"Wouldn't it be better to give them freedom? Why do they have to be slaves in this house their whole lives?" Xiao Lan was actually a little puzzled by these people. Being a slave meant having no freedom, staying in this house all their lives. Wouldn't it be better to go out and find a job and be the master of their own house?

"For them, being a maid in a wealthy mansion is the best they could have. Before, they relied on their service in the old lady's room to flaunt their power in the courtyard. They flattered Madam Yu, and Madam Yu gave them many benefits! What would they do outside? Wash clothes? Marry a farmer?" Jasmine said this, but Xiao Lan still couldn't understand it. After all, it was a different era, so some things just didn't make sense.

"The main reason is that they live too happily. I heard someone say before that not every job is so easy. Some rich young masters don't do their job, and the pretty maids have a hard time. If they encounter a harsh mistress or a manager, it will be even more terrible." Haitang disagreed.

Xiao Lan knew that Yu Mama and Housekeeper Wang were only concerned with making money for themselves and didn't care about the maids at all, especially those around the old lady. They only cared about taking care of them and making them work for their own purposes.

"Never mind, they've already left. I won't let them come back anyway, so just let them go!"

"Madam!" A maid ran over, panting. She was just about to clean up the yard that was messed up by the bandits when someone came to the door and she had to run back to report.

"how?"

"Captain Xue is back again!" the maid said with a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I'm so busy!" Xiao Lan complained, but she couldn't avoid her savior, so she went to the door to greet him.

The maidservant muttered behind him, "Let's buy some more servants! There's never enough work to do..."

Xiao Lan looked back at her, pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay! I'll buy it tomorrow!"

"what?"

No wonder this lady was bullied so badly before, she is too easy to talk to!
