Lu Liangwei frowned. I remember that all new hires at the imperial holiday home have to go through the Imperial Household Department, but you hired her right away without reporting to the department. Is this place a joke to you?

Although she could tell that Housekeeper Yu was not a wicked man, he had handled this matter inappropriately.

If she did not punish him, others may end up following his example by bringing anyone they wanted into the holiday home, and this place would turn into a breeding ground for danger.

If that were to happen, would she and Long Yang be able to find peace here anymore?

Under the Emperors rule, Great Shang had become a force to be reckoned with in the eyes of other kingdoms, hence he had quite a number of secret enemies.

Thank goodness it was only Li Tonger this time if it were an a.s.sa.s.sin, wouldnt the Emperor have been in danger?

It was nearly impossible to guard against sudden attacks!

The thought made Lu Liangweis face harden. The imperial holiday home does not need an impulsive housekeeper. Go to the counting house and collect your salary for this month, Housekeeper Yu. Then you may leave.

At her words, Housekeeper Yus face turned ashen, but he bowed his head without arguing back. Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness.

Li Tonger was anxious to plead for him, but the cold look on Lu Liangweis face eventually kept her from opening her mouth.

It was obvious that Lu Liangwei would not revoke her judgment.

Besides, it was already considered a light punishment.

She looked at Housekeeper Yu apologetically. Im sorry for bringing you into this.

Housekeeper Yu did not blame her and comforted her instead, Its not your fault. Im the one to blame. I was too careless, and Ive betrayed His Majesty and Her Highnesss trust.

With that, he stood up, bowed once again to Lu Liangwei, then finally turned and left.

Li Tonger was still kneeling on the floor. She still had a lot to say, but in the end, she could not bring herself to say anything and kowtowed to Lu Liangwei. Since youve spared me, I shall take my leave, Your Highness.

Lu Liangwei nodded. Go ahead.

Li Tonger rose, and looking at the young girl, suddenly said, I apologize for what I did.

She was referring to her attempt at seducing the Emperor.

Its no big deal. Even if there were ten of you, His Majesty still wouldnt fall for you. Youve underestimated him and his love for me, so you dont have to apologize.

Li Tonger flushed in embarra.s.sment.

Lu Liangwei had never taken her seriously, which made her apology seem a little conceited.

Unable to stay a second longer, she left hastily.

Zhu Yu came out from the courtyard, a little indignant to see the woman walking away. Miss, how could you let her go like that? Remember what she was planning Arent you being too kind to her?

Then do you have a better suggestion? Lu Liangwei asked, smiling.

I Zhu Yu felt that anyone who attempted to seduce the Emperor and replace her mistress deserved to be put to death, but she could not bring herself to say it, considering that Li Tonger had not actually committed any heinous crimes.

Never mind. Li Tonger has come to her senses, plus she didnt exactly do anything atrocious. Since shes willing to turn over a new leaf, lets not be too cruel to her, Lu Liangwei said airily.

Youre right, Miss. Zhu Yu nodded in agreement.

Lu Liangwei was starting to feel tired from standing for so long, so she turned and walked into the courtyard.

Long Yang was drinking tea in the house. When he saw her come in, he got up and took her hand, helping her sit down. Are you tired?

A bit. Lu Liangwei nodded, not mentioning what had happened outside just now, but Long Yang did not ask her either.

In that case, you should get some rest. Long Yang scooped her into his arms and headed to the bedroom.
