"Su Mei, bring Granny Mei's contract," Ye Muyu said aloud.
Granny Mei, her aged face smeared with tears, was both guilty and frightened, "My lady, don't sell me off, I won't dare do it again."
"According to the rules of the Chu residence, Granny Mei is punished with twenty strokes of the cane, and henceforth she will clean the flower shop in the front courtyard," Ye Muyu said indifferently, noticing the varying expressions of the nearby maidservants and servant boys.
