Aunt Li spoke with a worried expression, her eyes filled with intense anxiety.
"Why?" Jian Yufei asked in surprise.
"The young master said that we didn't obey his order and let you out yesterday, so there's no need for us to stay and work anymore."
Yufei opened her mouth slightly, feeling choked up.
No wonder he wasn't punishing her directly, he chose to start with the servants.
"Miss, we've been working for the Ruan family for over a decade, we've grown accustomed to everything here. We were supposed to receive a decent retirement fund after twenty years of service. Now, we're just a few years away from that, but the young master suddenly dismissed us– it feels like all those years were in vain. Miss, can you please plead with the young master not to fire us?"
Yufei understood that Aunt Li wouldn't ask her for help unless it was really serious.
At the end of the day, it was her who had dragged them into this.
"Alright, I'll go talk to him right now."
