Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

"Yes, I did it on purpose," Nan Xi admitted readily.

"Although Aunt Xu took the Loyalty Pill, it's not the same as the Loss of Heart Pill. Aunt Xu has taken care of the original owner since she was a child and is too familiar with her every move. After all, I'm not the original owner. After a long time, Aunt Xu will still be suspicious."

[I understand, Master Host...]

After Aunt Xu was neglected, the person closest to the original owner in the past two years was Dongmei. So, as soon as you received the memories, you immediately sent Dongmei away.

"Yes, Jiujiujiu, you are really smart."

[The host is smart] The kitten shyly blows back a rainbow fart:

[My lord host is what the world often says he is, far-sighted and able to kill several birds with one stone… Even if the seven hosts before me had half of your means, they wouldn’t be so… wuwuwu…] As the kitten was talking, it actually thought of something sad, and shed a few cat tears.

Nan Xi was speechless: "..."

At this moment, several servants, both men and women, came out on their knees. Nan Xi counted them and found nine in total. She ordered Xia Zhu, "Return the indentures to them and give each of them ten taels of silver."

"Yes, Miss!"

He also ordered Li Guanghai: "Have someone watch them leave the house immediately through the back door, without delay and without disturbing others." Li Guanghai obeyed the order.

There were also some things he would do without the young lady's instructions, for example, he would have people keep an eye on where these people went and what they did. When necessary... he would not be as merciful as the young lady.

Nan Xi saw that most of the remaining people looked calm, and some even looked excited and relieved, so she ordered each person to be rewarded with ten taels of silver as compensation for their "humiliation" over the past two years.

Many people couldn't help but burst out laughing when they heard the name when they received the money - you know what, with this money, the simmering anger in their hearts really dissipated. From then on, they held their heads high and worked hard with the young lady!

Nan Xi gave 20 taels to each of the three maids, Chun Tao, Xia Zhu, and Qiu Tong. Then she asked Xia Zhu and the pleasant-looking servant to stay and dismissed the others.

Xia Zhu is fine.

The servant hadn't left just now, and now he was left behind, looking confused and a little uneasy. He was just a cleaner in the outer courtyard, usually helping the housekeeper and the steward. What could the young lady want from him?

But don’t think of anything else and give him another beating, otherwise he will be at a loss. It would be better for him to take the silver and leave!

"What's your name?" the servant asked when he heard the eldest lady's very pleasant voice. The cold tone of the voice that just now called for someone to be beaten to death was gone, and he felt a little relieved.

"In reply to the young lady, my humble name is Xiao Si - Ma Xiao Si, I am 15 years old this year, and I am currently sweeping and running errands in the master's outer courtyard."

Nan Xi: “…”—He’s quite clever.

Nan Xi smiled slightly, and Ma Xiaosi happened to look up at her face and accidentally saw this smile. In an instant, he felt as if his heart was hit, "bang, bang, bang" beating extremely panickedly!

Oh my god, when the young lady smiled, he felt like all the flowers in the world had bloomed, and he felt a little dizzy for a moment. Was this a smile he deserved to see? Was he about to go see his great-grandmother?

Nan Xi looked at his constantly changing expression and sensed that the child had no ill intentions, which she found amusing for a moment.

Keeping him here was really a spur of the moment decision.

"Ma Xiaosi, I'm going to give you a job, do you dare to take it?"

"I dare! I am a worthless servant. If you need anything from me, please tell me. I promise to do it beautifully for you."

Ma Xiaosi was not so loyal originally, but isn’t he confused now?

He suddenly became brave and patted his chest - at this moment, even if the king came down, he would dare to kick him a few times as long as the young lady ordered!

Seeing him looking so brave yet cowardly, Nan Xi laughed again.

Xia Zhu didn't leave, but watched from the side. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel jealous:

The young lady doesn't like to laugh, but she's already laughed twice. This Ma Xiaosi must have found a way to make the young lady laugh... Oh, never mind, being able to make the young lady laugh is his skill...

Nan Xi smiled and said, "I don't want your life. I just want to keep your head."

"I want you to be a gossip-monger in this mansion" - Nan Xi took the tea handed to her by Xia Zhu and drank it slowly: "In short, you want to be my eyes and ears. Report anything to me. Are you willing?"

Ma Xiaosi knelt on the ground with a plop: "I am willing! Thank you, Miss, for promoting me! I will do my best and serve you wholeheartedly in the future!" He kowtowed twice as he said this.

What a joke! No matter how dumb he was, he knew that he had caught the young lady's eye, and that the young lady was giving him a chance to shine! Right now, he could only feel his hands and legs shaking: "Grandma, your unfilial great-grandson is going to be rich..."

His incongruous display of loyalty once again made Nan Xi laugh.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly."

What's wrong with the ancients bowing at every turn?

"Xia Zhu, give fifty taels of silver to Xiao Si... and give him some small change and copper coins," Nan Xi ordered.

Xia Zhu agreed.

When the heavy purse was handed to Ma Xiaosi, his hands were shaking. It was no wonder he was such a loser. He had never seen so much silver in his life.

"It costs money to manage social relationships," Nan Xi said, "don't be reluctant to spend it, there will be extra rewards if you do a good job." The implication was that if you don't do a good job, you will lose everything.

Ma Xiaosi understood. He thought, with so much money, what kind of news can't he get? The lady is giving him a huge fortune for free!

When he got excited and wanted to kowtow again, Nan Xi quickly waved her hand.

"Stop eating, or your head will get swollen. Put the silver away and leave, do it quietly and don't let anyone know."

"Yes, Miss. I obey your command." Ma Xiaosi was also a smart man. He quickly restrained his expression and when he walked out, he returned to the cautious and trembling look when he came in.
