Xie Limo said in a chilling tone, “Is this how you all usually talk about Young Madam?”
“No, no. We never, we…”
“Please have mercy on us this time, Young Master Xie. We won’t dare to do it again. We will definitely serve Young Madam well.”
Xie Limo smirked coldly. He glanced at the few people kneeling on the ground in disdain. “If this was the headquarters, do you think you will be fit to serve Young Madam? You won’t even be fit to stand before her!”
The servants’ faces all turned pale. They had been sent to Country A a few years ago and escaped the stringent rules and management of the headquarters. They had slowly gotten used to life here and felt that they were above others in their hearts. Hence, they had long forgotten their roots.
They felt extremely ashamed and guilty the moment Young Master Xie questioned them like this.
Xie Limo did not say anything else and called Xie Liu over.
Xie Liu appeared ten minutes later. Once he learned of what happened, he whipped and chased out those few servants immediately.
Xie Liu was fuming. This was the first time he had been angered by someone internal to the family. “You are merely slaves that were groomed by the Xie family. What makes you think you can speak so maliciously about your master?”
“Xie Liu, we’re in the wrong. Please forgive us, we really know we did wrong.”
“Xie Liu, we know we did wrong.”
Those servants’ faces turned pale, and their bodies shuddered. They regretted their actions to death. They had simply led a comfortable life for too long and forgot their status.
“Remember your status. What you did is disgraceful and improper. You even dared to gossip and talk bad things about Young Madam. You’re asking for death!” He lashed out his whip and chased them out as he did.
The few servants did not dare to scream out loud either. If they screamed and alarmed Young Madam, they would not hope to live on anymore.
After Xie Liu vented his anger, he turned to the few people and said, “From today onwards, you guys will return to the headquarters’ secret hall to be punished. Whether you come out of it alive depends on yourselves.”
The few servants did not even dare to breathe out loudly. They only accepted the orders while trembling.
Next, Xie Liu gathered all the servants and guards in the villa for a serious talk. Some servants who had acted the same were scared out of their wits by the talk this time. They had also gossiped about Young Madam behind her back these past few days, so their faces visibly paled in fear.
They counted themselves lucky to not have been caught. However, Xie Liu would not let anyone off the hook when he handled matters, so he immediately checked the surveillance cameras. All the people who talked bad about Young Madam were sent to the secret hall of the headquarters.
The secret hall was a place specifically set up to punish the internal servants of the Xie family. They would lose a layer of skin even if they did not die. Their hearts were palpitating in fear but they did not dare to raise a word of dissent at all.
Since then, everyone else continued working hard in lingering fear and shock.
…
When Yun Bixue woke up, she could hear the commotion outside. However, she was not curious and did not go out to look either.
Those servants thought that Yun Bixue was dumb. However, she was naturally not dumb if she could achieve what she had currently. It was precisely because she was extremely sharp.
For the good of everyone and not to trouble Xie Limo, she simply acted as if she did not know anything.
When Xie Limo came in and saw that Yun Bixue was awake, his originally ice-cold aura immediately warmed. His eyes also glowed with tenderness and indulgence.
“Xue, happy birthday. Here are flowers for you.”
Yun Bixue took the flowers and tried her best to give Xie Limo a kiss. However, her body was getting in the way, so she could not reach him.
Xie Limo chuckled and lowered his head to plant a kiss on her lips.
“I just woke up and haven’t brushed my teeth. Is there a smell?”
Xie Limo shook his head. “Nope. You smell good all over, Xue.”
“I don’t believe you.”
Xie Limo chuckled. “Does that mean you purposely wanted to kiss me because you haven’t brushed your teeth, Xue? Are you unhappy with your husband about something?”
