Chapter 834: Punishment

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Han Zhuang directly pulled Wang Wei down. After a while, the sound of boards hitting him were heard. Wang Wei’s mouth was gagged and he could not even make a sound.

“Do you want to confess yourself, or should I ask?” Ye Muyu did not seem to hear the sound of the beatings outside.

Song Min frowned and knelt on the ground.

Upon hearing this, he did not hesitate at all and told her everything that had happened in the past two days.

It turned out that Wang Wei stole the silver at night, but Song Min, who woke up at night, saw it. The two of them had been in a bad mood for the past two days, and others had noticed it.

Whenever Song Min wanted to complain, Wang Wei would beg him for mercy and fight to do anything.

The days dragged on until today.

“Why didn’t you complain when he said that he only broke the flower pot because you pushed him?” Ye Muyu asked.

“I don’t know if you will be angry, Madam. I was planning to tell you when your anger subsides.” It was as if he still had not given up on the idea of complaining.

Ye Muyu felt less uncomfortable. She did not mind her servants being too honest, but she was afraid that they would be disloyal.

If Wang Wei really needed money, he could ask her directly. If he wanted to withdraw a month’s worth of money, she would give him a chance.

Unfortunately, it was one thing for that person to frame others, but it was even harder to change his nature.

She hated trouble, so she naturally dealt with it directly. She did not even want to show him any sympathy.

“Do you know where you went wrong this time?” Ye Muyu asked.

“I don’t know.”

“Since you don’t know, then I’ll tell you. First, you’re too straightforward and inflexible. Anyone who hears Wang Wei’s words would think that he’s pushing the responsibility to you. You only have the intention to report this matter, but you don’t understand your own situation. If it were another family, they might have already dealt with you.”

“Secondly, you’re too impulsive and broke the flower pot because of the fight.”

“I’ll punish you with a day of fasting and you’ll have to compensate for the flower pot.”

“Alright, you may leave.” Ye Muyu waved his hand.

Song Min looked at her in shock, then obediently kowtowed and left.

“Go and call Shopkeeper Tang in.” Ye Muyu glanced at the tea that had turned cold, but she did not care. She picked it up and took another sip.

“Madam, it’s my fault…”Tang Dongfeng rushed in and bowed to her.

“Tell me first, do you know about this?” Ye Yu asked directly.

Tang Dongfeng nodded. “I knew about this. I just wanted to test the two of them and understand their personalities. However, I received news yesterday that there were mirrors in stock. I thought that I had to do business first. I originally planned to deal with them after I came back, but I didn’t expect to disturb Madam…”

“This is indeed your fault. Even if you’re busy with other things, you should have found someone to keep an eye on the two of them.”

“We’re not open yet, so there are no customers, but if you disturb the customers and affect the business of the shop, the trouble and impact it will bring will be different.”

“You’re right, Madam. I was too arrogant.” Tang Dongfeng blamed himself.

Indeed, he did not take the two of them seriously. Naturally, he left them with ease. However, he did not expect that small characters could cause such a big fuss.

“There can’t be a next time,” Ye Muyu said.

“Madam, this servant understands.” Tang Dongfeng agreed without hesitation. He knew that Madam was already being lenient towards him.

“And about Song Min, he has some flaws in his personality. You should guide him more. In business, he should be more slick. He has to learn it if he doesn’t know how to do anything.”
