Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 378

Chapter 378: Investigating the pass (2)
When the butler didn’t move and was lost in her thoughts, Luo Yeqing turned to look at her and questioned, “What are you thinking?”

“Nothing, madam,” the butler’s brows jumped in the air and she replied with a shake of her head. She didn’t dare say anything out loud and decided to first see through things. If it was nothing, then she was going to keep her mouth shut, but if the matter was something serious, then she would tell Luo Yeqing everything.

No matter how powerful Qin Qiu was, in the end the matriarch of the family was Luo Yeqing. As long as she commanded her to tell the truth, how dare she go against her?

The butler rushed out and soon brought all the workers working in the Luo House to the small office. The Luo family did not have many servants, as most of the members had their own residence while the rest didn’t like to be disturbed.

Thus, the servants easily filed into the office looking nervous and anxious. Even though they did not know what this matter was about, they knew that the fact their employer called them was not a good sign.

They all looked at Luo Yeqing nervously, who was sitting in the chair behind the large table.

“Do you all know why I called you here?” Luo Yeqing began as she looked at the nervous servants.

As soon as she finished speaking the servants started to sweat even harder. Though the Luo family was generous, the servants also knew that they had their bottom line. However, under Qin Qiu’s command they have done a lot of things that stooped lower than the set line.

Now they were wondering if Luo Yeqing had found out about those things.

Among these panicking servants was a calm middle-aged mer who looked at Luo Yeqing without any worry in his eyes.

Luo Yeqing, who controlled more than five hundred workers in her company, noticed the middle-aged mer immediately but she didn’t rush to question him. Instead she turned to look at the rest of the servants, who were sweating like crazy and stated, “Huian complained to me that some of you, including Qin Qiu, bullied her when she was a child. Is it true? You better tell me the truth.”

When the servants heard her words, they all turned even more panicked.

However, they all loved this job. They did not need to do a lot and could still earn a lot of money. Qin Qiu was also generous; as long as they bullied Luo Huian, they would be rewarded greatly. There was also the matter of Luo Huian being starved; they couldn’t tell the truth no matter what!

Thus, they all knelt on the floor and said to Luo Yeqing,

“Madam Luo, Miss Huian is wronging us. We never bullied her.”

“How dare we bully our master?”

“She must have misunderstood us.”

“We never did anything to harm Miss Huian.”

“Madam, you already know that Miss Huian has the habit of lying to gain your attention. How can you believe her one-sided words?”

The servants all wailed as if they were being wronged; however, Luo Yeqing did not listen to their words nor did she trust them. If Luo Huian was still the same as she was before, she would have believed that she was trying to gain her attention by lying to her.

But Luo Huian had changed and Luo Yeqing knew that her daughter had no affection towards her. She didn’t care about what she did or whether she paid attention to her or not.

Thus, it was impossible for Luo Huian to lie to her for the sake of gaining her attention.

She banged her fists on the table and snapped harshly, “You mean to say that my daughter accused you all unjustly? Who do you think you are? She is my daughter and you are just mere servants. If she wants, then she can fire you all at her will. What reason does she have to accuse you all?”

She then turned to look at the middle-aged mer and questioned, “You tell me the truth.”

The middle-aged mer stepped forward and calmly bowed his head before answering, “It is indeed the truth. These servants have bullied Miss Huian, but they have done it under the command of Master Qin, who asked them to bully Miss Huian and make sure that she would have a stunted growth.”

“Chef Lu!”

Someone in the crowd screamed at the mer but the mer didn’t even look at the person. Chef Lu only stared at Luo Yeqing, who seemed to be fuming with anger.

“And pray tell me, why did you not tell me this before?”

“Madam Luo,” Chef Lu was not terrified of Luo Yeqing’s anger and instead said to her, “It’s not our fault. In the past, you paid great attention to Master Qin and Miss Qingling. The entire house and the workers knew that even though Master Ye was your husband, the power and the authority, as well as your affection, were in the hands of Master Qin.”

“How dare we refuse his order? What if he fires us? Not to mention, Master Qin threatened us with our family. He told us that if we dared to tell you the truth, then he would make it impossible for our family members to get a job in this city; we had no choice but to stay quiet.”

Chef Lu was unabashed as he spoke of the past clearly. So what if the servants bullied Luo Huian and Ye Shun? Wasn’t it because Luo Yeqing, who did not do a good job and didn’t pay attention to her daughter and husband?

If she had given them the position and honour that they deserved, then the servants would have done the same. The majority of the blame lies with Luo Yeqing and not them.

As soon as Chef Lu finished speaking, Luo Yeqing raised the paperweight and threw it at him but the mer did not even dodge and let it hit him on the shoulder without saying a word.

He knew that Luo Yeqing was angry and she needed someone to let her anger out; it just so happens that he was the one who turned out to be the target of her anger.
