The rules are weird, I bribed weird people in the copy

Chapter 215 Lin Mansion 10

"Madam has already given you a chance. If you had admitted it then, maybe it wouldn't have come to this. Who are you trying to show off to now?"

Jingyue pulled Ding You away, and the two maids behind her immediately grabbed her and prevented her from getting close to the eldest lady.

Ding You was also helpless. She knew she shouldn't steal things, but she had to complete the task, and she couldn't tell the reason why she stole the jade bracelet.

"Madam, I really know that I was wrong. It was because I was too vain that I was blinded by the jade bracelet. Please give me another chance."

Ding You kowtowed heavily, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

Jingyue waved her hand, ready to let the two maids drag Ding You out, but was stopped by the eldest lady.

"lady?"

Jingyue was a little confused. Could it be that the lady still wanted to forgive Ding You?

She said that it would not be too much for Ding You to be beaten to death. As the lady's maid, every move she made represented the lady's reputation.

Isn't it just a joke for her to do such a stupid thing now?

Not to mention that there is a concubine named Hua in the mansion who is eyeing the lady covetously.

If she knew what happened today, she would definitely laugh at you.

It is even possible to ask the master to remove the lady's housekeeper rights on the grounds that the lady does not manage her subordinates well.

By then, only Aunt Hua's family will be in power in the mansion.

Thinking of this, Jingyue looked at Ding You with even more displeasure, and the friendship between them in the past disappeared completely.

"Madam, Ding You committed a serious crime. She should be beaten with 20 sticks and then sold out. Now you just let her take the indenture and leave the mansion on her own initiative. Not only is she not grateful, but she wants to stay in the mansion. This..."

The eldest lady waved her hand to stop Jingyue from speaking: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

Jingyue immediately fell silent and stood aside obediently.

The eldest lady sitting in the main seat did not respond to Ding You immediately, but looked at her quietly, as if judging the truthfulness of her words.

Ding You was very nervous when he saw that his wife did not respond, fearing that his last chance would disappear.

Suddenly, the eldest lady sighed softly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Ding You, since you know you're wrong, I'll give you a chance to make amends."

The eldest lady's voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"But you must understand that you only have one chance. If you make the same mistake again, I will never let you off easily."

As she spoke, the eldest lady turned to Jingyue and instructed:

"Assign Ding You to the laundry room. From tomorrow on, she will be the lowest-ranking maid and everything will start from scratch."

Jingyue's eyes were fixed on Ding You. She clenched her hands and frowned, obviously she was very dissatisfied with Ding You's staying.

But no matter how dissatisfied you are, it is Madam's decision.

Jingyue sighed in her heart, thinking that the lady was too soft-hearted.

Ding You's mistake this time meant that she had betrayed the Madam. Moreover, she had lost face in front of so many people today. It was hard to guarantee that she would not feel resentful in the future.

Moreover, Ding You's vanity is so strong that if she has another chance, she will probably do something to harm Madam again.

What's more, Aunt Hua's eyes were fixed on Madam.

She had long been dissatisfied with the Madam. She felt that she was the Master's cousin and childhood sweetheart, and that the position of the First Madam should belong to her.

But just when she was happily waiting to become the principal wife, the eldest lady, Chen Yaojin, suddenly showed up.

According to Aunt Hua's personality, she would never let go of Ding You, a good chess piece.

Thinking of this, Jingyue couldn't help but feel a headache.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand the lady's behavior. After all, she was the maid she promoted, and the relationship between them is not something that ordinary maids can compare to.

Although Ding You made a mistake, considering that it was her first offense and she admitted her mistake with a good attitude, the lady showed leniency and just sent her to the laundry room, which was already very lenient.

This way, Ding You can be punished and the lady's kindness can be shown, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

From another perspective, the lady's decision was also a warning to the other servants.

This is the fate of a first-class maid who made a mistake. They should consider their own abilities before making mistakes in the future.

They are not like Ding You who has a close relationship with his wife.

If they made a mistake, they would not simply be sold out with a contract, but would be sold out directly.

There won’t be anywhere good to go after the properties are sold from the Lin Mansion.

Besides, it's not all bad for Ding You to stay in the mansion. The laundry room is not like the first lady's.

Isn't she shameless enough to want to stay? Then let her suffer a little more.

When Ding You heard what the eldest lady said, he was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Madam, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely reform myself and never make the same mistake again!"

The eldest lady nodded slightly, accepting Ding You's gratitude.

Then, she waved her hand, signaling Jingyue to take Ding You away.

Jingyue responded, pulled Ding You up, and they left the main hall together.

On the way out, Ding You felt mixed emotions.

She knew that although she had escaped this time, the days ahead would not be easy.

The work in the laundry room is heavy and hard. I have to deal with a large amount of clothes every day. If I am not careful, I will be scolded or even physically punished. In addition, I have to complete copy tasks, so I am afraid that the days to come will not be easy.

Ding You returned to her room and packed some clothes. Before leaving, she looked at the room that originally belonged to her. She was afraid that she would never live in such a good room again.

"Hurry up, why didn't you think about the good days when you made the mistake? Now you are reluctant to leave."

Jingyue rolled her eyes at Ding You, turned around and left the room without waiting for her.

Ding You was soon taken to the laundry room. She stood in front of the dilapidated wooden door with mixed feelings.

When I opened the door, a damp smell hit me in the face, along with the busy figures of laundry women and the sound of gurgling water.

Jingyue brought Ding You to the manager of the laundry room, gave him a few brief instructions, and then turned and left.

The manager was a middle-aged woman who looked at Ding You seriously, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"Are you Ding You?"

The steward asked, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

Ding You bowed his head and responded respectfully, "Yes, Steward."

"Now that you are here, you should work hard and stop thinking about those unrealistic things."

The manager said, pointing to the pile of clothes nearby.

"Wash these clothes first, and then help hang them out to dry."
