Chapter 29: Firing The Maids

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under Jiang Li’s long eyelashes, her pitch-black eyes shone with a demonic light.
The maid was so frightened by this look that the plate in her hand fell to the ground.
Crash!
Everyone was shocked!
“You…” Jiang Li placed her elbow on the table and supported her chin. Her posture was very improper as she raised her hand and pointed at her.
Everyone’s heart was in their throats.
Jiang Li’s cold voice was heard. “The dishes are too salty. Go and get me a cup of tea.”
The maid felt as if she had just woken up from a dream and heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she thought of being ordered around in front of the public, she straightened her neck and said.
“The tea is made by a low-level maid. I, a high-level maid, am only responsible for delivering food.”
Jiang Li smiled. “So there are low-level and high-level maids in delivering tea and food.”
After Butler Wu arranged the room, he saw this scene as soon as he came in, and his expression was very ugly.
“Didn’t you hear what Madam said?!”
The maid heard this and gritted her teeth to pour Jiang Li a cup of tea.
After Jiang Li finished eating dinner, she conveniently took a washed orange from the fruit basket next to her and left the dining room.
The other maids next to her had contemptuous looks on their faces. “A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. She even has to hide a piece of fruit and leave.”
At this moment, the little maid who was about to sweep came over and stared at her departing figure. “Keep your voices down. You don’t know how terrifying she is. Just now, she tied up an old man and tortured him until he fainted.”
After the little maid described it, everyone gasped.
“Not only is she vulgar and doesn’t know the etiquette, but she’s also practically a bloodthirsty female devil?”
“What does Ninth Master see in her?”
“It can’t be that she knows demonic magic. I think her eyes are too scary…”
The maids’ voices were very low, but Jiang Li could hear them clearly. However, she did not think much of it.
She did not have much time to live so casually. If she had to care about what others thought of her, she would be annoyed to death.
Butler Wu, who had been enduring all this time, finally could not help but explode after Jiang Li left.
“All of you come over!” He called the group of maids over and said angrily.
“Usually, I see that you all respect the Ninth Master. I think that your work is not easy. As long as you don’t make a big mistake, you can do whatever you want. Now that Madam has arrived, she is the person in the Young Master’s heart. All of you actually look down on her. Not only did you neglect Madam, but you even backstabbed her!”
“If Young Master finds out about this, not only will I be punished, you might even lose your lives. Forget it, you should be more self-aware and pack up your things and leave.”
Only then did the maids start to panic and beg for mercy one after another.
After all, working at Fu Jiuxiao’s place not only gave them good benefits, but they also had better food and shelter than ordinary families. No one was willing to leave.
However, Butler Wu was determined to reject them this time.
“It’s useless to beg me. Madam is the master here. Even a maid doesn’t respect the master, so it’s impossible for her to stay.”
These words woke up the maids. They all cried and unwillingly went to collect their things under the protection of the bodyguards.
Jiang Li was reading in the hall.
When she heard the crying, she raised her head. At that moment, the maids also saw her. All of a sudden, they no longer looked at her with disdain and rushed over to plead with Jiang Li.
“Madam, please ask Butler Wu not to fire us. We will definitely listen to you in the future!”
“Yes, Madam, you are such a good person. You must not have the heart to see us lose our jobs and not even have a way to live, right?”
Jiang Li was still lying on the sofa. Looking at their tender skin and rosy cheeks, she thought that they must have enjoyed a blissful life here.
At that moment that they had lost it, they realized how precious it was. They remembered to beg her, a person they looked down on.
However, what did this have to do with her?
“I am just a guest. I can’t change Butler Wu’s decision.”
A simple sentence pushed everyone into a desperate situation.
“Are you leaving or not? Don’t disturb Madam from reading.” The bodyguards were impatient and urged them to hurry up.
At this moment, a few other maids in the villa watched this scene in fear. No one dared to have any opinions about Jiang Li anymore.
Everyone thought in unison, “Madam’s aura… is she really from the countryside?”
