Chapter 1964: Chapter 1964: Authority is Not to be Challenged

"What are you standing there for? Drag him out!"

Yue Chong had naturally seen the fear in the eyes of the servants. They probably thought he had killed his own subordinate, right?

But at this moment, he really didn’t have the time to care what these people were thinking; all he knew was that someone he had sent to Yu Chushui’s courtyard had come back and stopped breathing!

Moreover, he had stopped breathing after speaking to him.

Even if it was poisoning, it couldn’t be that reliable, right? Just enough time for his subordinate to report what had happened in Yue Chushui’s courtyard, and then... and then...

He knew it was a warning from those people, intentionally allowing this subordinate to come before him, making him watch him die.

"Yue Chushui..."

Watching the servants drag away the body of the guard, his heart was turbulent, and he muttered his son’s name under his breath.

This son of his, who he had never paid much attention to, could he really be so ruthless?

The reality was, the person he had sent was indeed dead, and had died right in front of him, in such a... terrible way!

"Someone, come!"

Grinding his teeth, he tried to calm himself down and called for the people outside.

No matter what, the banquet tonight had to be prepared, and now that this subordinate was dead, he would have to order others to get ready.

...

"Dead?"

In the courtyard of Old Madam Yue, upon hearing the report from the nanny that the guard sent by Yue Chong had died not long after returning, the Old Madam merely lifted her eyelids slightly, her tone devoid of any hint of surprise.

"If he’s dead, then bury him."

Nanny: "..."

Isn’t Old Madam scared? The Eldest Young Master had poisoned the master’s most capable man to death; how ruthless must his heart be?

"Old Madam, aren’t you going to do anything about it?" she asked.

"Do about what?"

Old Madam Yue countered the nanny’s question.

Indeed, what was she to manage?

The people at the master’s side had always been arrogant and looked down on others. Now that one was dead, it was his own fault.

Good, it’ll serve as a reminder to the other disrespectful servants that the Yue Family is not a place where servants can climb onto their master’s back to try and reach someone else’s!

"Are you feeling injustice on the master’s behalf?"

"Uh."

The nanny was choked by Old Madam Yue’s retort.

Feeling injustice on behalf of the master - how dare she, especially in Old Madam’s presence? She dared even less.

Didn’t everyone know that because of the matter with the Eldest Young Master, Old Madam Yue had been increasingly displeased with the master? Every time someone from the master’s side caused trouble for the Eldest Young Master, Old Madam would blame the master.

Now, the master’s people dared to climb the wall to the Eldest Young Master’s courtyard and the master, having heard about it, did not seek to punish his own people for their presumptuousness.

Old Madam Yue was naturally even more dissatisfied with the master.

Who made the master so inconsiderate in his actions?

"This servant dares not. This servant was just thinking, after all, the master is the master, his authority is not to be challenged," she replied.

"Psh."

Little did the nanny know, her words only elicited a scoff from Old Madam Yue.

Authority?

In front of his own son, there has never been any great image of a father. He’s only thinking about the unchallengeable authority he has as the master

For a man, he should establish a family before building a career. If he can’t even manage his own household affairs, how can he build a career?

"Since there is to be a banquet, you also make arrangements. Don’t embarrass Chushui," she instructed.
