482 Punish the Servants

The servants from Madam Qu came soon after. Nan Hua didn't help and chose to sit down at a distance, watching everything. Those who looked at how she relaxed while the others worked hard might want to beat her up.

Only Xiao Yun and Mu Yan knew that Nan Hua didn't want to show them her real strength and stamina.

She would be the young lady of Nan Family.

It meant that her action, expression, words, and everything would be watched heavily. Those who wanted to take advantage of her would try to understand more about her now that they had the chance. After all, it was impossible for them to spy on her when she was in Old Master Nan's Residence.

It would be better to be known to be a weak and ordinary young lady.

"Miss, we have changed the furniture inside," Mu Yan reported calmly. "Would you like to rest first?"

"I would like to have a meal first."

"Yes, Miss. I'll inform the kitchen."

Nan Hua sat down on the chair, watching the maidservants sent by Madam Qu here calmly. Her dark obsidian eyes reflected none of her real emotion as if she truly had none. This would make others felt it was difficult to know what was inside her mind.

The servants were all working dutifully.

They didn't look like they wanted to go against her.

Not long afterwards, Mu Yan returned. She looked at her Miss and bowed down with her hand holding a tray. "Miss, they have prepared the dinner for you."

Nan Hua glanced and looked at the plain soup in front of her. It looked so thin as if it was only containing water without any meat whatsoever. Her eyes flashed with coldness as Nan Hua stood up.

"Is that so? Call the servants."

"Yes, Miss."

Mu Yan put the tray to the table nearby while Nan Hua sat quietly. She thought that the servants had been informed by Madam Qu that they were not allowed to do anything that disparaged her from her current identity as the young miss.

Not long afterwards, the servants came and walked towards Nan Hua. Their expressions were filled with mockery even though they pretended to be respectful.

"First Young Miss."

Nan Hua didn't reply and merely looked at the servants in front of her. There were various methods to resolve this matter, but she was too lazy to showcase her fluency in debate. It would be better if she could solve this matter while speaking as little as possible and with the help of her servants.

That way, those from outside wouldn't know much about her.

The spies were numerous in this residence.

The servant stood in front of her, maintaining the same courtesy position. They were all young girls and naturally, it was hard for them to bow down all the time. Time ticked, yet Nan Hua still said nothing. Sweat started to trickle down their head.

The head cook was confused while the other servants were quiet. Those who were working to repair the courtyard were still working diligently while paying close attention to the scene behind them.

No one spoke.

In the end, the head cook couldn't stand it anymore and raised her head.

"Don't raise your head before Miss told you to do so!" Xiao Yun reprimanded from the side. "Don't you know basic etiquette."

"This servant apologize." The head cook felt wronged but she still lowered her head.

Nan Hua looked at the group of servants in front of her. She tapped the table. "Beat them up, 50 times."

"Yes, Miss."

The head cook was stunned while the servants behind her were all kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy. The other servants who were originally cleaning the courtyard quickly stepped forward and held them down, stuffing their mouth with handkerchief so that they would shut up.

"You can't do this, Miss, you.,.. Mmmf!"

"Why can't I?" Nan Hua asked back, her tone was slow and lazy. She didn't even look at the servant as her gaze landed on the tray of food beside her. The coldness spread from within her eyes. "Is this really the food served for the young miss of Nan Residence?"

The head cook was stunned but Nan Hua never gave her any chance to refute or even saying anything. Xiao Yun was the one who personally held the wood and beat the head cook while the other servants hit the other kitchen servants.

Mu Yan stood beside Nan Hua, ready to do anything should Nan Hua order her to.

The other two maidservants, Ran and Chu Yue were both ordering the rest to continue cleaning up while they themselves also worked. They didn't want to court death by interfering with whatever Nan Hua wanted to do.

Once the beating was over, half of the kitchen staff couldn't stand up anymore. They laid on the ground.

"You better go to the kitchen and cook the proper meal." Nan Hua was calm. "That is if you don't want to be subjected to another military punishment."

Military punishment.

The greatest difference between Nan Hua and other masters and mistress in Nan Family Residence was the fact that she had been staying with her grandfather for a long time. In Old Master Nan's Residence, all the rules were following military rules.

Disobedient servants?

Beat them.

Disrespectful servants?

Beat them.

Servants with other intention?

Beat them.

Spies?

Beat them and obtain information.

That was the easiest and the fastest method to instill fear. Nan Hua had no intention of changing this method because she had solid reason as to why she wanted others to know. Her eyes were calmly watching the spectacle in front of her while her hand tapped the table quietly.

The servants were all trembling. They had realized that the person in front of them was no soft person.

She would beat them up first if they were disobedient.

"What happened here?"

The cold voice sounded from the entrance and a middle aged man walked in. Nan Shu Cheng looked at his daughter icily. Not even a day had passed yet Nan Hua had already beaten up his servants.

How unruly.
