Gu Chengyu nodded and glanced at Lichun, "Your duty is to manage the matters in the courtyard. In the future, the steward from the estate will report these matters to me. Just perform your duties well."
By rights, these should be the responsibilities of Nanny Liang or the steward Chen of the outer courtyard. Lichun's heart had grown bold.
Upon hearing this, Lichun's face immediately turned pale.
She hadn't expected the lord to be so ruthless, only then did she realize she had overstepped her bounds.
"It was a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, my lord!" Lichun hurriedly knelt to the ground, looking terrified.
The lord had never reprimanded her like this before, which made her feel very sad.
Gu Chengyu ignored the kneeling Lichun and proceeded to eat red bean barley cakes on his own.
Banxia's lips curled into a mocking smile. She didn't look at the kneeling Lichun, only dropped the corners of her mouth after a brief moment.
