The first one to disappear was Wu Da's daughter from the outer courtyard.
In fact, this little girl doesn't have any decent errands.
She just came here with her parents to give birth to a child.
She is responsible for watering the flowers and trees in the outer courtyard.
She just doesn't want to die.
This is an extremely easy job.
The real garden of Moxiang Garden has its own full-time gardener.
She is only responsible for the so-called outer garden, which is the yard of Lu Xingsheng who doesn't come often.
Wu Da knew that her daughter was missing.
Instead of letting his wife go to the inner courtyard to report to Miss Xia or the Second Madam, he took the papers, took his wife and his eldest son who was a janitor, and ran away together.
The whole family was gone, and the housekeeper Lu Chen was a little panicked.
If nothing else, at least he, the housekeeper, is not managing well.
In fact, he also knew where the family had gone, and they had gone back to the Lu family mansion.
He still did not report it to the inner court, but quietly sent someone back to persuade them.
If he could be persuaded to come back, the matter would be hidden.
Anyway, there are so many servants, and the masters can't even recognize them all, so they probably won't care.
Unfortunately, things didn't work as expected.
Butler Lu Chen kept waiting, but not only Wu Da's family didn't come back, but the people he sent there also stayed behind.
Lu Chen became furious immediately and asked his wife to count the number of people.
It turned out that not only Wu Da and others, but also the maids and wives in the inner courtyard and even the nursing home had left.
There are so many, thirteen of them left.
Xia Xiaodong put down the pen in his hand and looked at the words on the paper with satisfaction.
I have been writing for so many days.
At least I have finally mastered this handwriting and can see people.
"You just said that thirteen people were gone."
Xia Xiaodong turned his eyes from the paper to Lu Chen's face: "Where did they go?"
"Girl, they should all have gone back to the mansion."
Lu Chen lowered his head: "Now, do you want to report it to the second lady?"
In Lu Chen's eyes, Miss Xia is more like a guest.
Although the second lady never does anything, she is always a decent master of the garden.
"No need."
Xia Xiaodong said unequivocally.
It would be better for the second lady to recite her Buddha's prayers responsibly.
"Everyone's status is with me, so there's no need to bother the Second Madam."
Considering that Lu Chen was the housekeeper, Xia Xiaodong still explained it to him.
Lu Chen was shocked.
Slaves are private property, the transfer of physical deeds.
This means the transfer of the official master.
This young and elegant lady is actually his serious mistress Lu Chen couldn't accept it.
After all, he is now over fifty.
He had seen a lot of things, so he didn't immediately become frightened and talk nonsense.
He just lowered his head to prevent Xia Xiaodong from seeing his face.
"Steward Lu, please sit down."
Xia Xiaodong pointed to a chair.
"There's a place for me in front of you, girl."

Lu Chen didn't dare to sit down.
"You don't want to sit down.
I think you still have to raise your neck, which is more strenuous."
Xia Xiaodong smiled and said, "Just sit down.
I have something to ask you."
Lu Chen had no choice but to sit on the edge of the chair to see what Miss Xia had to say.
"Didn't you give everyone monthly money?"
Xia Xiaodong's next words made Lu Chen slide out of the chair and onto the ground, simply kneeling down.
"When I was given a small monthly payment, I paid everyone on time."
Lu Chen replied categorically, almost swearing: "There is a receipt book to prove it, and there are fingerprints on it.
If there is a deduction, I remember clearly what happened.”
"Get up and talk."
Xia Xiaodong said curiously: "Then why did they run away since they were given monthly money?"
Lu Chen got up from the ground, still only touching half of the chair.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Xia, I am quite old, so please don't be angry if I say a few words about relying on my old age."
"Say, I won't blame you."
Xia Xiaodong waved his hand and looked at Lu Chen with wide eyes.
It's really strange.
To be honest, Mo Xiangyuan's job is very easy.
From himself to Lu Yunzhi to the second wife, no master would make things difficult for his servants.
The boss is very nice, the work is easy, and the salary is paid.
What on earth are these people doing?
So Lu Chen enlightened Xia Xiaodong about the servant's thoughts.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
Servants are also human beings, and as long as they are human beings, they always want to climb up.
It can even be said that a servant who doesn't want to climb up is not a good servant.
A rough maid who sweeps the floor, a third-class maid who wants to water flowers.
A third-class maid watering flowers wants to be a second-class maid holding a handkerchief.
The second-class maid holding the handkerchief dreams of becoming a first-class maid who is in charge of the girl's clothes and jewelry and can take care of other maids.
Even a first-class maid aims at marrying a maid and then becoming the brother-in-law's wife or even his concubine.
The next best thing is to marry a decent steward and become a decent wife.
By analogy, the servants also continued to climb up the ranks, following the path of small stewards, senior stewards, and housekeepers.
It is precisely because of the desire to climb up that we are motivated to work hard and do well in order to be promoted.
However, Moxiang Garden is too peaceful.
Although there are few things to do, promotion is slow and there are few ways to make money.
In fact, the servants who were originally assigned to Moxiang Garden were relatively good, but with so many people, it was inevitable that there were some good and bad people with different ideas.
"Girl, please think about it, our garden has very few visitors, and even fewer guests."
Lu Chen simply said bluntly: "The boy at the second door didn't even get a few coins as a reward, he just got a monthly salary. , There’s no way to compare with the people in the mansion.”
No extra money.
I see.
"Then they can do errands when they get back?"
Xia Xiaodong couldn't say that he knew nothing about the mansion.
Even good jobs are taken over by many people. "" Lu Chen had a dark face and was sullen for a long time, but finally gave the answer: "The eldest brother is ill, so more manpower is needed.
And the old slave asked about it, and it seems that they specifically want our people." people."
Sick people naturally need more people to serve them.

In addition, once the uncle falls ill, many things that the eldest son is doing will be a little messed up, and there are many people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and reap benefits.
With deliberate encouragement, people will naturally be tempted.
"Why don't they just say no first?"
Xia Xiaodong still found it difficult to understand.
After all, I am someone who has worked before.
If I imagine the current situation as a workplace, it will be easier to understand.
But, if you want to change jobs, you have to resign first.
What's the matter with just throwing things away and running away?
"" Lu Chen's face turned even darker: "This is probably because the girls don't understand and if they leave someone casually, it will be difficult to leave.
Moreover, Miss Yunfang is getting married soon, and these people may follow her." " If I resign from you, what will you do if you don't let me go?
I'll just cut him off first and tell him later.
Anyway, among the masters, unmarried girls are the most bullied.
They have to worry about their reputation.
What's more, the conditions offered by the other party are high.
Generally speaking, dowry people are naturally more respectable than ordinary servants.
Lu Yunfang dug her way into Moxiang Garden, which was extremely unkind.
The question is, is she poaching Lu Yunzhi's corner, or is she poaching her own corner because she knows these people have already given it to her:
