Yuan Xi gave his own gift, and after accepting the salute of Pang Tong and Yan Ya with Yan Rou, he raised his glass and drank a glass, and left with a smile, he was here, everyone was under a lot of pressure, and they didn't dare to do their best at will, because everyone knew very well that although Yuan Xi was gentle to his subordinates, he really paid great attention to the rules, and he couldn't even mess around with the ranking seats, not to mention that there was no distinction between the top and bottom, so only when he left, the ministers could completely relax.

Yuan Xi, who returned to the Assassin's Mansion alone, sat in the inner hall, looking at the empty scene, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, the emperor, the lonely man, this sentence really makes sense, for the majesty of the lord, for the order of the upper and lower levels, the hook of shoulders and backs in the previous life, bragging and drinking, it is impossible to realize, there are gains and losses in the world, since you sit in this position, you must be able to bear the pressure and loneliness it brings.

"Master Hou, today is a big day, why don't you go to the backyard for a walk!" Liu Quan looked at Yuan Xi, whose face was abnormal, and said with concern.

Yuan Xi shook his head, took a copy of the recital, and carefully began to review it, Liu Quan saw this scene, and slowly retreated helplessly.

Time slowly passed unconsciously, and a few hours later, just as Yuan Xi was reviewing a document requesting appropriation from Youbeiping, Liu Quan walked in again, and said in a low voice with an anxious face: "Master Hou, it's not good, Mrs. Lu took Chu Qiao to find Mrs. Liu in trouble."

"What" Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, slowly put down the pen in his hand, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Chu Qiao was too impulsive, not only offended Mrs. Liu, but also beat the maidservant, after being caught by the guards, he was slapped a few times, this matter was known to Mrs. Lu, you also know that although Mrs. Lu has not been in the mansion for a long time, she really loves Chu Qiao, a girl, and even taught her martial arts privately, originally Mrs. Yun felt that this matter was forgotten, although she felt sorry for Chu Qiao, but after all, Chu Qiao was still a maid, but Mrs. Lu couldn't stand it, and took Chu Qiao to find justice, it is estimated that this will have arrived at Mrs. Liu's house" Liu Quan smiled bitterly.

Yuan Xi's face froze, and said: "Qi'er is too unruly, even if Chu Qiao is wronged, she can't go to Ling'er for a maid, and there are no rules in the house in the future."

Although he also appreciates Chu Qiao's courage and loyalty, the distinction between master and servant must be clear, otherwise how can the master control his subordinates, and where will his subordinates have a sense of awe.

"The little one was also persuaded, but Mrs. Lu didn't listen" Liu Quan said helplessly, it is a common thing for subordinates to be punished, and they don't even need a reason, this is Chu Qiao, who was given the name by Yuan Xi, otherwise the others would have been severely punished.

"Let's see" Yuan Xi stood up and walked towards the backyard.

At this time, in an elegant and luxurious courtyard in the backyard, Liu Ling, who saw an amazing chest with a large chest, looked at Lu Lingqi with a vicious face, and Chu Qiao who followed behind him, and was a little scared in his heart, but his face was still calm Shi Li: "Ling greeted my sister, I don't know what happened when my sister came."

Although Lu Lingqi entered the mansion later than her, her status is a flat wife, which is much higher than the status of Liu Ling's concubine.

"You don't pretend to be pretentious, let me ask you, did you order the guards to beat Chu Qiao" Lu Lingqi pulled out Chu Qiao, who had a conspicuous red mark on his face behind him, and asked with an angry expression.

Liu Ling frowned, and said, "Sister Yu, Chu Qiao not only knocked over the ginseng soup prepared by the slave family for the Hou Ye, but also beat the maid, so the slave family punished her."

"They deliberately bumped into me and insulted Sister Lu," Chu Qiao immediately pointed to an extraordinary-looking woman behind Liu Ling and said angrily.

"Chu Qiao, don't just wronged people, my chest still hurts now" Li Rong immediately counterattacked.

"Presumptuous, I haven't let you speak yet, what qualifications do you have for a maid to speak, come on, drag it out and fight" Lu Lingqi's face was angry, and she immediately ordered.

Hearing this, Liu Ling immediately blocked in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, what do you mean by this, although your status is higher than Ling, but you can't beat my maid like this for no reason."

"You get out" Lu Lingqi is Lu Bu's only daughter, since she was a martial artist, she pushed Liu Ling away with a slight pull, Liu Ling didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and accidentally fell directly to the ground.

At this time, Yuan Xi happened to walk in with Liu Quan, and after seeing this scene, he immediately looked at Lu Ling and said sharply: "Presumptuous"

Lu Lingqi was shocked in her heart, and after seeing that it was Yuan Xi, she lowered her head in some fear, and Liu Ling crawled to Yuan Xi's side with tears in her eyes, crying: "Master Hou, you want to be the master of the slave family!" ”

"Qi'er, you don't know the rules too much," Yuan Xi said unhappily.

"I didn't mean it," Lu Lingqi said aggrievedly.

Yuan Xi sighed, looked at Chu Qiao, who looked uneasy, and said sternly: "Come on, take Chu Qiao down and confine him for two days."

Chu Qiao's face turned pale, his silver teeth were bitten, and he looked at Yuan Xi aggrievedly, Lu Lingqi hurriedly said: "Husband, it's my fault, it has nothing to do with Chu Qiao, she beats people for my reputation."

"It doesn't matter, Chu Qiao, as a maid, actually beat the maid, who gave her this right, and you don't distinguish between public and private, and the inner courtyard is restless for this matter, you also give me a good idea of it" Yuan Xi accused.

"I'm not wrong, they provoked me," Chu Qiao suddenly shouted unwillingly.

"Chu Qiao, you are presumptuous, how can you talk to Hou Ye like this" Liu Quan suddenly said anxiously.

Yuan Xi walked in front of Chu Qiao step by step with sharp eyes, but what she didn't expect was that Chu Qiao looked at him without fear, his eyes were full of grievances and sadness.

Looking at the loyalty value as high as ninety-five, Yuan Xi said coldly: "You are becoming more and more ignorant of the rules, believe it or not, Xi has taken back your name"

Chu Qiao was shocked, and bowed his head silently sadly.

"What makes my husband so angry!" At this time, Zhen Mi, who was holding her stomach, walked in slowly under the careful support of Gu Yun.

"Meet the eldest lady" Except for Yuan Xi, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Seeing that Zhen Mi was actually here, Yuan Xi immediately walked over and said softly: "Mi'er, why are you here, pay attention to your body"

"As the master of the backyard, the slave family naturally wants to come and see if something happens" Zhen Mi smiled, looked at Liu Ling, who had stopped crying and had a somewhat apprehensive face, and said gently: "Sister Liu, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, sister" Liu Ling hurriedly stood up, Zhen Mi is not Lu Lingqi, not to mention the means, what is more important is the identity of the wife, and Yuan Xi's boundless love for her, it can be said that there is only one woman in the house who can influence Yuan Xi.

"Then give my sister a face, forget it this time, Chu Qiao, my sister will teach her well" Zhen Mi said.

Liu Ling was shocked, although he was very reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to offend Zhen Mi, and bowed his head and said, "Listen to my sister"

"Okay, Miss Chu, come here," Zhen Mi waved her hand.

"Big Lady" Chu Qiao ran over gratefully, her eyes full of respect.

"You! Pay more attention in the future, don't make trouble for Sister Yun, you know? Zhen Mi reminded.

"Got it, madam," Chu Qiao nodded heavily.

Looking at Zhen Mi, who was so biased, Yuan Xi smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything, because he was even more partial to Zhen Mi.

"Sister Lu, we haven't had a good chat yet, you can go back with me," Zhen Mi continued.

Lu Lingqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, sister"

Although her personality is sometimes very impulsive, she still has a lot of respect for Zhen Mi, a beautiful, gentle, and kind lady.

"Husband, then we'll go back first," Zhen Mi said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go to see you at night for my husband" Yuan Xi said softly, Zhen Mi smiled and nodded, and with the support of Lu Lingqi, Zhen Mi, and Chu Qiao, he slowly left with people.

Yuan Xi shook his head, looked at Liu Ling who looked aggrieved next to him, and walked over to comfort: "Don't be sad, this matter will also give you a compensation for this matter."

A hint of surprise flashed on Liu Ling's face, and he hurriedly grabbed Yuan Xi's arm, and Shuangfeng kept rubbing and said, "Thank you, husband."

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly, hugged Liu Ling and walked towards the inner room.

At about dusk, Yuan Xi walked out of Liu Ling's room refreshed, sorted out his clothes, and walked towards the inner hall.

"Commander Zhang" Liu Quan's pupils shrank.

Yuan Xi said solemnly: "Xi wants to see Chu Qiao, this girl, how is it?" She's not fit to be a maid anymore."
