Chapter 1622: What Other Reason Do I Need To Fire You?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment before she quickly came back to her senses. She still had a smile on her face. I'm old and it's very difficult to change my habits. Please forgive me.
Qiao Xi sneered. You want me, the master, to accommodate you? Your salary is paid by the Gu family, so you should follow the Gu family's rules. If you're unwilling to call me 'Young Madam', then you're disrespecting your master. In that case, there's no need for you to stay in the Gu family anymore. Go look for the butler for your final salary now!
Aunt Lin instantly panicked. She did not expect Qiao Xi to be so eloquent at such a young age!
Old Madam, Miss Qiao and Young Master aren't married yet
It's enough for the law to acknowledge them as husband and wife. Everyone in the Gu family knows that she's Gu Zheng's wife, but you have to go against it. Just what do you want? Old Madam Gu reprimanded sternly.
Aunt Lin was embarrassed. After serving Old Master Gu for so many years, the Gu family's servants all looked at her differently. Even Gu Weiming had to show her some respect. Now, Old Madam Lin was berating her for Qiao Xi. It really made her unwilling.
Aunt Lin looked at Qiao Xi angrily. I just called you by the wrong name, yet you want to chase me away. If news of this gets out, what will everyone say about you?
Qiao Xi chuckled. What reason do I need to fire you? Which noble family wouldn't fire a few servants?
Aunt Lin was so angry that her face turned red. A young madam in name actually dared to speak to her like this!
Before she could retort, footsteps came from outside the door. He Wenxian's gentle voice sounded. Grandma Gu, I'm here to see you!
Ah! Aunt Lin is here too! He greeted Aunt Lin with a smile.
A few years ago, He Weinian was Gu Zheng's master. He Wenxian also often came to the Gu family as a guest. At that time, Old Madam Gu thought that He Weinian really treated Gu Zheng well, so she welcomed He Wenxian every time she came.
It was just that Old Madam Gu did not expect He Weinian to not only scheme against Gu Zheng but also have so many secrets regarding the He family.
He Wenxian said gently, Grandma Gu, I haven't been here in a long time. Do you still remember me? Aunt Lin, quickly sit down. Let's talk.
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Lin said aggrievedly, Miss He, I'd better not sit. I'm just a servant, after all. I don't have the right.
He Wenxian was a little puzzled. What do you mean? Did someone bully you? Aunt Lin subconsciously looked at Qiao Xi. She had been by the old master's side for so many years and knew that the old master had chosen three candidates to be his granddaughter-in-law-Meng Wan, Yao Mengqing, and He Wenxian. Hence, every time these three people came to the Gu family, she would try her best to curry favor with them, hoping that they would give her some benefits when they came to power in the future. However, she never expected that Qiao Xi would suddenly appear and snatch away the position of the young madam.
Young Master clearly had a fiancee, yet Qiao Xi still seduced him and got married to him. She was a mistress who ruined his marriage!
Seeing that Aunt Lin did not answer for a long time, He Wenxian was a little puzzled. Aunt Lin, you've been conscientious in the Gu family for so many years. Who can make things difficult for you? Who's so bold?
Old Madam Gu was smart and naturally could tell that He Wenxian and Aunt Lin were making things difficult for Qiao Xi. She directly berated, I was the one who made things difficult for her. Miss He, do you have an opinion on this? Aunt Lin is a servant of the Gu family. What's wrong with me reprimanding her? If you really feel aggrieved, Aunt Lin, go to the butler to get your final salary and leave the Gu family. Don't act in front of me. Do you really think I'm a fool?
The atmosphere instantly became awkward. He Wenxian's expression was ugly, and her voice trembled slightly. Grandma Gu, you've misunderstood I was just worried
Miss He, please call me 'Old Madam Gu'. Only Ah Zheng and Ah Yao's wives have the right to call me 'Grandma'. Old Madam Gu already hated He Wenxian, so she was even angrier when she saw her acting in front of her.
Aunt Lin did not expect Old Madam Gu to be so disrespectful to Miss He. She widened her eyes in shock.
He Wenxian's face was pale as she panicked. Old Madam Gu, I just think that because Aunt Lin has been working hard for the Gu family for decades, even if she did something wrong, she shouldn't be reprimanded
Before Old Madam Gu could speak, Qiao Xi said slowly, If she's taking the Gu family's salary, she should know that she's just a servant and shouldn't interfere in the marriage of the head of the Gu family. If Gu Zheng wants to marry me, does he have to get Aunt Lin's permission? If she doesn't agree, will I never be able to become the young madam of the Gu family?
Miss He, your heart aches for Aunt Lin so much. Could it be that this is what the He family's rules are like? Would Young Master He have to ask Chairman He's servants if he wants to marry in the future? If the servants don't agree, he can't marry them?
He Wenxian instantly choked..
