Lin Che said, "Well … I think it's too late. It doesn't take long to cook instant noodles."
Gu Jingze looked at her deeply and didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "Alright, let's go. Since it's already cooked, let's eat first."
After they finished eating, Lin Che went to wash up.
Gu Jingze's face slowly darkened.
He went outside.
He looked at the people outside and said, "Tell them to tell me in detail what Madam did while I was away."
"Yes, Sir."
When Gu Jingze woke up in the morning, he received a reply.
"Sir, these days … the servants seem to have neglected Madam," the butler said.
"How so?"
"Well …" The butler broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't notice it before and only found out about it after asking.
The butler told him everything in detail and didn't dare to miss a word.
After all, it was not someone else but Sir's beloved Madam.
On normal days, Sir was not willing to let Madam suffer any grievances. These new servants were too insensible. They actually dared to do such small things in private.
It was also because they came too late and didn't know what Madam meant to Sir, so they dared to be so bold.
Now that he couldn't even take care of himself, he couldn't care less about them.
Now that Sir knew that Madam was wronged, he didn't fire him because he had been in the office for so many years.
Gu Jingze said, "Alright, bring them to me."
"Yes, Sir …"
The butler quickly went out and gathered the new servants.
After they came in, they looked at Gu Jingze and stood in two rows in fear. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to get up.
Gu Jingze said, "I heard that someone dared to be disrespectful to Madam when I was away."
The servants didn't say a word, as if they didn't realize that there was any danger.
Gu Jingze said, "Being disrespectful to Madam means being disrespectful to me and to the Gu family …"
His voice, which was calm at the beginning, became gloomy towards the end. In the end, his voice was so quiet that it made people feel as if his words were like a sharp blade that struck at them, making them feel a chill in their hearts.
Everyone couldn't help but feel that the temperature in the room had dropped a few degrees.
"You've all been trained and sent here. You should know that disrespecting the Gu family is equivalent to betraying the entire family. You should know the consequences of betraying the family better than I do, right?"
The people standing immediately panicked. They quickly lowered their heads and said, "Sir, we don't dare."
"Don't dare? How could you not dare? Not only did you not dare, you even did it! "
He snorted and raised his head. "Take them out and punish them according to the family rules. From now on, I don't want to see them anywhere."
The people below completely panicked this time.
"Sir, sir, we were really wrong."
Someone was already shouting, desperately looking in the direction of the housekeeper.
However, the butler didn't dare to raise his head at all. They were courting death, so they didn't want to drag him down with them.
Seeing that no one was willing to help, someone mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, we also feel that it's unfair for you. We feel that Madam doesn't care about you and doesn't fulfill her duty as a wife."
"Ha, do I need to consult you about the duty of a wife?" Gu Jingze looked at them sharply. The person was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
"We … no matter what, it was the old man who asked us to come. Please give us another chance for the sake of the old man …" Li Yundong said.
"Madam asked us to take care of you. If you treat us like this, Madam will be sad."
They weren't begging for mercy. These servants were saying that they were sent here by Old Master. If they were punished, how would they explain it to Old Master Gu?
Gu Jingze snorted. "Have you forgotten that I'm the head of the household now? Do you think that I need to report to the family for such a small matter? You're wrong."
He waved his hand and said calmly, "The few who spoke just now, punish them more severely."
"Yes …"
The few of them paused again.
Gu Jingze didn't want to say another word. He directly waved his hand and asked them to leave.
"No … Please don't, Sir …"
"Sir, we really don't dare to do it again …"
The servants cried out sorrowfully. They didn't expect that Gu Jingze would really disrespect Old Master Gu and Madam because of such a small matter.
Gu Jingze's harsh and frightening character was originally just a rumor. Now they finally knew.
However, it was too late. No one could save them now.
Because of these people's departure, the Gu family quieted down.
Gu Jingze then asked someone to find another batch of servants to fill the gap.
The people who came this time had already heard about what had happened. Moreover, when they came again, they were directly warned by the butler that they could touch anyone except Madam. If they dared to make Madam feel wronged, they would not be able to live.
He didn't need to say much about whether or not this was an alarmist talk. He could directly ask the people who had just been chased away. Of course, none of them could see where those people had been chased to, and no one would want to know how they would be dealt with.
Lin Che saw that the servants in the house had been changed. She suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She went out and asked, "Why did they change servants?"
A servant replied, "Madam, the previous batch of servants were disrespectful to you, so Sir changed them."
"Ah? Is that okay … "Lin Che said," Actually, it's not that disrespectful. "
The servant said, "Of course it's disrespectful. They think that Madam is like other Madams and must listen to her husband. But it's not like this in our family. Sir dotes on Madam so much, and Madam is Sir's favorite. They don't understand, so they offended Madam, and Sir definitely won't forgive them. Actually, it's right that they left. Previously, the house was in a foul atmosphere, and there were rumors everywhere. The Gu family even gossiped about it. We can't stand them for a long time."
"Really …" Lin Che said, "There's such a thing."
"Yes, Madam, don't worry. The newcomers don't dare to do it anymore. Look at them, they're much more well-behaved."
"Alright." Lin Che said, "But don't you think it's not good for your husband to indulge me too much?" Lin Che also reflected for a moment. She felt that she really didn't fulfill her responsibilities as a wife, and even outsiders couldn't stand it.
"How can that be? We know how difficult it was for you to come this far with Sir. You're so good, Sir's kindness is worth it. Moreover, Madam has never come for Sir's money or power. Madam, you and Sir really love each other. People who really love each other don't have so many rules."
