"Yes." They all lowered their heads in unison.
"Good, then who can tell me what the first rule of the Su Family is?" Su Nian, her usually smiling face taut and serious, asked as she walked in hand in hand with Zheng Haoyu.
"Don't... don't discuss family matters without permission." A woman named Ying Lian stuttered an answer, her hand clutching her apron tightly.
"Any of the Su Family's affairs that concern everyone will be announced at a scheduled time, regardless of whether they're significant or not. But private discussions about them are forbidden!" Su Nian's sharp gaze swept over the few of them, a sense of oppression instantly enveloping them.
The few of them, having been serving in the Su Family for many years, had rarely seen Su Nian like this. They were somewhat afraid and didn't know what to do, looking at Su Nian and then at Zheng Haoyu.
