But he nodded quickly.

"Yes, thank you Brother Dao!"

After thinking for a while, he looked up at Tang Xiaolong and stammered as if he was presenting a treasure.

"By the way, Brother Dao, my wife Xing is..."

Tang Xiaolong glared.

Jia She was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again!"

"roll!"

"Yes, yes, I'll get out of here right away!"

Looking at Jia She crawling out, Jia Rong also showed some emotion on his face.

"Alas! I never thought that the master of the West Mansion would actually..."

Tang Xiaolong snorted softly, touched Jia Rong's hair and said,

"Someone like this who has no feelings for the person next to him will definitely bite us back if he gets the chance in the future. You have to help me keep an eye on him from now on!"

Jia Rong nodded solemnly and said,

"Yes, don't worry, Brother Dao!"

……

Inside Furong Courtyard.

Lin Daiyu stood at the door.

He looked at the four servants, grass leaves and flowers, kneeling in a row in the courtyard, as well as the girls Qingwen, Zijuan, Xueyan, and then at Rong Mama, who was standing beside him with her head bowed.

With a pleading look,

"Mammy, I know you are punishing them because of what happened today."

"But I was the one who gave the order, and the four sisters had no choice but to obey. Please be merciful and spare them this time!"

Aunt Rong bowed slightly to Lin Daiyu with an expression of respect.

"My lady, I didn't punish them because they obeyed my orders."

"It's them who allowed you, young lady, to be rudely treated by an ignorant person. The rules of Qingfeng Village are their mission!"

"If word of this gets back to the village, I will only punish them by making them kneel for three hours for such a serious mistake, which is a light punishment!"

"But, Mammy..."

Lin Daiyu wanted to say something else,

Rong Mama looked up at Lin Daiyu and said earnestly,

"Miss, I know you have a kind heart!"

"But you will be the wife of our Peak Master in the future. Qingfeng Village has already swept across Yangzhou, and the population under its command is more than a million."

"Without strict regulations, your kindness will only lead to indulgence for those below you, and might even bring unnecessary trouble to the bee owners."

Lin Daiyu was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked at Rong Mama with some uneasiness on her face.

"This, this shouldn't be possible, right?"

Aunt Rong shook her head solemnly and said,

"Miss, the Bee Master mentioned in his letter to you that he would bring the money to the two ladies in the village, Ruyi and Changle, to ask for your opinion."

Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this, pursed her lips, and spoke softly,

"I know about this, and I wrote the letter agreeing to it. Brother Qingfeng is doing this to win over the local gentry. Everything is for his own benefit. He always has me in his heart!"

"But what has this to do with your duty in punishing your sisters so harshly?"

Aunt Rong sighed and shook her head.

"My dear! Qingfeng Village only has one state now. The Bee Lord had no choice but to take in two concubines for the sake of the overall situation. Now, nothing can be seen."

"But what if Qingfeng Village grows bigger in the future, and the Bee Master takes in ten or twenty concubines, changing his status?"

"If you are still so kind-hearted, you might suffer a great loss!"

Lin Daiyu was slightly stunned when she heard this and asked in confusion,

"Changed identity? What do you mean, Madam?"

Then, her little face showed some longing.

"As long as Brother Qingfeng has me in his heart and I have him in my heart, that's enough."

"In this world, a man who achieves great things should have three wives and four concubines, but concubines are just concubines."

"Please let the sisters stand up!"

Aunt Rong had no choice but to sigh.

"That's all!"

Then he said to the women outside,

"The young lady is kind-hearted and can't bear to see you blamed. For now, please stand outside and sober up!"

"If it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Several women in the courtyard kowtowed to Lin Daiyu in unison.

"Thank you, miss!"

Lin Daiyu looked concerned.

"Sisters, please get up quickly!"

After Lin Daiyu spoke, the girls supported each other and stood up.

The four maids had some martial arts skills, so they were relatively well-off. However, Qingwen, Zijuan, Xueyan and the others had swollen and painful knees and felt dizzy when they stood up, so they had to support each other to get up.

However, after they stood up, they all stood cautiously in the yard, not daring to show any emotion.

Even Qingwen, who always had the hot temper, lowered her head and remained silent, allowing Rong Mama to punish her.

In her opinion, it is her duty to protect her master in everything.

What happened in the courtyard today really upset her master, and it was her fault as a maid.

In the room, Rong Mama helped Lin Daiyu sit on the couch.

After giving a few instructions, he was about to leave.

Lin Daiyu spoke at this moment, calling out to Rong Mama and asking,

"Mammy, what do you think about this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Rong was slightly startled and an unnatural smile appeared on her face.

"Miss, why do you say that?"
