Wan niang directly walked in front of the kitchen maid and raised her hand to slap her.
The kitchen maid stayed in the kitchen all day. Apart from cooking, she ate and raised herself to be fat. Wan niang's slap caused the flesh on the kitchen maid's face to tremble.
The kitchen maid didn't expect Wan niang to hit her at all. She was completely stunned.
After the kitchen maid came back to her senses, she wanted to hit back like she always did.
After all, she was a woman who wasn't valued by her mother-in-law and husband. If she hit back, she would hit back. Could it be that she dared to resist?
But.
The kitchen maid's hand had just reached out when she heard Wan niang say, "You are all servants that my father bought for me to serve me. Your indenture contracts are all in my hands."
The kitchen maid's hand froze in midair. She couldn't hit back, but she couldn't take it back either.
Wan niang turned to look at the kitchen maid and curled her lips. "Do you want to hit me?"
The kitchen maid had always treated Jin Xiulian as her proper master, but she forgot that the person who held her indenture contract was Wan niang.
Whoever held the indenture contract had the right to sell her as they pleased. Wan niang could even beat her to death right now.
Instead, she was the one who contradicted her master.
The kitchen maid's face instantly paled. With a plop, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy. "Madam, have mercy, have mercy. This servant was blinded by lard just now and dared to go against her master. This servant won't dare in the future. Madam, have mercy, have mercy."
She had been sold so many times, but this could be said to be the best time she had ever had.
Although Jin Xiulian wasn't easy to talk to, she didn't make things difficult for her.
On the other hand, she didn't know her own worth because of Jin Xiulian's trust. She actually dared to contradict Wan niang.
Wan niang was furious now. She could even kill her.
Wan niang wanted to deal with someone to make an example out of her.
This kitchen maid was Jin Xiulian's person and had bullied her quite a bit. Now that she had bumped into the muzzle of a gun, she naturally had to deal with her ruthlessly.
Only by dealing with someone ruthlessly would the other servants fear her.
She used to think that as long as she treated the other party well, the other party would treat her well.
But now, it seemed that being good to the other party and having the other party treat her well was useless. Only by making the other party fear her could she achieve her goal.
The corners of the Wan Niang's mouth curled up. She looked at the kitchen maid and said, "Someone, call the slave trader over."
What's the point of calling the human trafficker over?
Naturally, it was to sell her.
If the kitchen maid was sold off at such an old age, it was easy to imagine what would happen to her.
The servants who used to be on good terms with the kitchen maid all distanced themselves from the kitchen maid.
The kitchen maid collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Wan niang's actions directly suppressed the disobedient servants under her.
To enslave a servant, one had to show both kindness and severity.
The wan niang looked at the servants who were afraid of her because of her display of skills and said, "I want you to understand who the true master of this residence is in the future."
The servants said in unison, "We understand."
In the past, his wife had a soft personality and was taught by her parents to be a good wife. She even gave all of her power and influence to Jin Xiulian and Li Xiucai.
Now, Wan niang had come to a sudden realization and understood that she could not blindly follow her parents' wishes of following her husband after marriage. Naturally, she had to firmly grasp these servants in the palm of her hand.
Now that Wan niang understood, these things would naturally fall into her hands.
Jiujiu sat on the wall and watched as Wan niang took care of the servants with a gratified expression. "You didn't fail to live up to my teachings."
Qingyan originally didn't like Wan niang's soft personality, but when she saw Wan niang retaliate after being called out by Jiujiu, she had a higher opinion of Wan niang. "You're a moldable talent."
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "Isn't that so."
Although Wan niang's personality was a bit soft and immature due to her parents' teachings, she was at least able to draw inferences about other things with just a little guidance. Her efforts weren't in vain.
No matter what happened in the future, as long as Wan niang could maintain this kind of personality, even if she couldn't gain much, she definitely wouldn't lose out.
Seeing that Wan niang had the servants disperse, Jiujiu climbed down from the ladder and walked into the study. She said to Qingyan, "Where did Steward Li go?"
Qingyan ordered people to bring in the pastries that Jiujiu wanted to eat yesterday as she said, "Miss, you said you wanted to open a spice store. Steward Li has been looking for a suitable store for Master this entire time."
Jiujiu's business in Jiangnan had been handed over to her subordinates to take care of. She only needed to go back for a month or two every year to count the goods. She came to the capital this time to open a spice store in the capital in addition to other business.
Regardless of the past or present, it had always been women's money that was the easiest to earn.
Didn't those big-name brands rely on women's pursuit of beauty to sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars just because of women's pursuit of beauty?
Nowadays, clothes were more or less the same. Although Jiujiu could make money by improving the style, it was too troublesome in the end. Therefore, Jiujiu directly thought of a simpler method, which was to sell spices and rouge and face powder.
On one hand, Jiujiu had studied these items quite a bit. On the other hand, these were the most worry-free.
When Jiujiu heard Qingyan say that Steward Li had gone to look for a store, she thought for a moment and said, "Change my clothes. I'll go out for a walk too."
Ever since she came to the capital, she had been staying in the residence. Although the gossip of Li Xiucai next door was her pastime, she was still a little tired of it. Now that she had settled her mother's matter tonight, it was time to get down to business.
After Jiujiu inherited Lin Datu's family business, she was still a little girl. Although she was almost demonic in her intelligence, she was still looked down upon by many because of her identity as a woman.
And Jiujiu relied on cross-dressing to gain a firm foothold in the business world.
Qingyan skillfully helped Jiujiu change into men's clothing.
Although Jiujiu was young, her breasts had already begun to develop. In order to make herself look more like a man, Jiujiu had her breasts tightly wrapped with layers of gauze.
Feeling the pressure on her chest, Jiujiu took a deep breath.
Really, it was worrying whether her breasts were small or big.
Sure enough, everyone had their own worries.
。
Jiujiu sighed and lamented that her breasts were developing too quickly. She picked up her folding fan and looked at herself in the mirror after dressing up. She did not look like an elegant young man.
Because Qingyan had drawn thick eyebrows, and coupled with the wanton smile that Jiujiu deliberately revealed, she looked exactly like a rich young master.
Jiujiu looked at herself in the mirror and praised herself in her heart for being so good-looking. She smiled and said to Qingyan, "Between you and Qingliu today, who will come with me?"
Qingyan quickly changed her clothes as she said, "Qingliu has been having her period recently and her body is not feeling very well. It's better if I go with Miss."
Like Jiujiu, Qingliu had the problem of dysmenorrhea. When her period came, she would be in excruciating pain.
