Chapter 444 Dealing with the Servants at Home

When the little cubs saw Shen Xiangwan coming back, they were so happy that they couldn't express it in words. Especially when they heard that Shen Xiangwan was back to pick them up and they would never be separated again, they were so excited that they danced with joy. Seeing this, the little dumpling, who knew nothing, also jumped up and down for joy. While the servants were not paying attention, Shen Xiangwan brought the two children out. They were over one year old, with rosy lips and white teeth, and were very cute.

Not long after the child came back, the Yan family, the branch family and the generals' families also came one after another. Shen Xiangwan briefly explained the situation to them and asked them to pack up and prepare, and return to the imperial city with her in a few days. The families didn't say anything, and they all started to get busy after returning.

The next day, Shen Xiangwan did not let the children continue to go to school. He just asked Wei Jinghan and others to tell the school manager that they would no longer go to the school to teach from today, but they still needed to go back to the school in person to explain the situation.

"Mother, mother..."

In the main hall of the Wei family, Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Yanyu, who were sitting on special chairs, frequently reached out to Shen Xiangwan, but Shen Xiangwan did not hug them because she was feeding them: "Be obedient and eat first, otherwise your brothers will laugh at you."

"Ouch!"

The little brother and sister took a bite of the food that was delivered to their mouths, turned their heads and looked at their brothers who were eating, and stretched out their hands to them: "Pot, pot..."

Although they are now learning to speak, they can only say a few words and their pronunciation is not very clear.

"Brother (sister)."

The little cub and the little dumpling shouted in unison when they saw this.

"Giggle!"

The little brother and sister were so happy that they clapped their hands on their chairs. Shen Xiangwan couldn't help shaking her head and said, "Don't call them at this time. Eat quickly. After you finish eating, help me take care of my younger brother and sister."

"it is good."

The little cub was as well-behaved as ever. He picked up his spoon and started eating again. Seeing this, the little dumpling followed suit silently.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

“Ahh…”

The wolf and the dog lying at Shen Xiangwan's feet barked unwillingly, instantly attracting the attention of the little brother and sister. Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh: "Don't make noise, the brothers and sisters are still eating."

They are really two wolves. When she came back yesterday, they also went to pick up the children with Ji Shaohan and Wu Lixiu. They recognized her the first time they came back and almost pounced on her.

"Woooo..."

The two seemed a little aggrieved, and after whimpering twice, they lay back obediently.

Their breakfast ended in this lively atmosphere. After the meal, Shen Xiangwan put the two children in the carpeted corner of the main room. All the children gathered around them, took out their toys and played with their younger siblings. Wu Lixiu and the older Xiao Dongzi wanted to go over and watch them, but were stopped by Shen Xiangwan. At the same time, she asked Zhou Wushuang to gather all the servants.

"See ma'am."

Led by Zhou Wushuang, everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him. Shen Xiangwan put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you ma'am."

The servants thanked him in unison and stood up. Shen Xiangwan did not speak immediately. He looked at them one by one before slowly saying, "We will leave in a few days. What I said before still counts. You will all go to your mother to get your indentures later."

"lady?!"

Many people couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Zhou Wushuang and the Wu family looked up in disbelief. From the beginning to the end, they had never thought of leaving this home.

"Madam, I have no family left and nowhere to go. I beg you to take me in."

The next second, Zhou Wushuang fell to her knees with a plop. She used to be an official's wife and had enjoyed everything. She had also been displaced with her husband and suffered all kinds of hardships. After her husband died, she sold herself in order to buy him a new coffin. At first, she was numb and had no expectations for her future, but the lady bought her, and she felt the warmth of home in this family. Even if she was just a servant, she wanted to stay in this family forever.

"Madam, we have nowhere to go. Please take us in."

Everyone in the Wu family looked at each other and knelt down to beg at the same time. If it weren't for the kindness of the lady who bought them out that day, their family might have broken up long ago, not to mention how comfortable their lives were after coming to this home. Even if they had to be slaves for the rest of their lives, they were willing to stay.

Shen Xiangwan did not respond immediately. After a while, he said, "If you are willing to stay, I will naturally not object. However, when you return to the imperial city, or even enter the palace, there will be many more rules than now. If you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of. If you make a mistake, we will definitely not tolerate it. Have you thought about it?"

These people are used to being used, and their character is not bad. If they are willing to stay, Shen Xiangwan is happy to take them in, but she will also make it clear to them that the imperial city is not like Yong'an Village. In the future, they will all be close servants, and their status may be greater than that of ordinary officials. If they are not prepared and don't be more careful, they will probably die without knowing how they died.

"Thank you ma'am."

Zhou Wushuang was the first to kowtow in thanks. She used to be an official's wife, so she naturally knew the intrigues involved. However, she still did not hesitate at all and was determined to join the Wei family.

"Thank you ma'am!"

The Wu family was afraid that they would be driven away if they were slow, so they quickly responded with thanks.

"Okay, you all stay here and leave with us in a few days."

Seeing how determined they were, Shen Xiangwan nodded with satisfaction. He was already thinking in his mind that after returning to the imperial city, he would go to the palace to find a few old maids or elderly eunuchs to train them and teach them the rules.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Everyone thanked him again. This time, everyone had a smile on their face. Shen Xiangwan shook his head in amusement and turned his gaze to the others: "What about you? Is there anyone willing to stay?"

"···"

A group of people looked at each other, their faces full of confusion. The masters of the Wei family were generous and treated them very well, but most of them still had relatives. In addition, they had saved some money over the years and did not want to continue to be slaves. The few who had no relatives were also old and wanted to regain their freedom and get married to continue their bloodline. Therefore, basically no one stayed.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word. You will go to the old lady to get the indenture contract later. Come on down."

Seeing through their thoughts at a glance, Shen Xiangwan did not make it difficult for them. Since she had said she would set them free, she would not change her mind. However, these people knew a lot of their secrets. Before leaving, she would let a hypnotist seal some of their memories to avoid unnecessary trouble.
