"These items were found in the servants' quarters of various households after I returned home. The saying goes, 'Family scandals should not be made public,' so a minor reprimand sufficed initially. However, the incidents continued intermittently. Due to my busy schedule, I couldn't deal with it immediately, so I had the objects preserved for later handling. But today, I found the box almost overflowing. Realizing the seriousness of the situation and fearing further delay might cause major trouble, I gathered all the elders here to discuss how to resolve this issue."
What was the issue?
It turned out that the box contained items secretly exchanged among the servants, including undergarments, letters, and obscene materials, which were offensive to public decency.
In a large and complex household, management oversights are inevitable. However, secret exchanges among staff can, at best, tarnish the participants' reputations and, at worst, implicate the entire mansion.
