After Lu Lingjun taught the two maids a lesson, he went straight back to his room.

    After she returned to the room, the two maids had wonderful expressions on their faces.

    Nanny Wan looked at Nanny An's uncontrollable pride and snorted, "Don't be so proud. Don't forget who holds your indenture."

    Nanny An, who had gained Lu Lingjun's influence, rolled her eyes and said, "Don't forget where you are now."

    After she finished speaking, she went out, leaving Nanny Wan alone, gritting her teeth in anger.

    Lu Lingjun first settled two maids, and after returning to the house, she called the four maids who came with the dowry.

    She raised their status and made them all first-class maids in the marquis's mansion.

    These four girls were originally the Lu family's servants. Their parents and brothers sold their bodies to Liu, but this still could not control Lu Lingjun.

    As long as she found a good family for them later, such as marrying them into a marquis's family and having children, that would be enough to win their loyalty.

    Lu Lingjun asked four maids to be in charge of contacting each courtyard, making more friends and getting to know more people, and finding out the daily developments in the mansion. If there were anyone they liked, she would make the decision for them in the future.

    Lu Lingjun's words made all the little girls blush and they were too embarrassed to respond.

    Lu Lingjun said a few heartfelt words, saying that since they had married here with her, there was no reason for them to go back, the Marquis' Mansion was their real home in this life, and if they worked hard, they could become the head nanny in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, which was something the Lu family could never give them in this lifetime.

    Lu Lingjun even promised them that as long as they remained loyal to her, she would return the indentures to them after they got married.

    After these heartfelt words were spoken, the four little maids all cried and expressed their loyalty to Lu Lingyun.

    Lu Lingjun knew that these people were not very loyal to her at the beginning, and many of them still cared about the Lu family, but there was no absolute loyalty in this world.

    Only when everyone's interests are aligned and they are all on the same boat can there be real and long-lasting loyalty.

    But there is still a long time. As long as they stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time and stay with her for a long time, they will naturally develop true loyalty.

    Lu Lingjun was not in a hurry. She just wanted to steer the boat well and ask everyone to follow her closely.

    Of course, she had thought about recruiting new people and cultivating confidants before, but in fact, that was the worst option.

    Because although these people who came with the dowry were controlled by the Liu family, they were still members of the Lu family after all.

    It is consistent with her interests at its core.

    For a person recruited from outside, not only must his identity and background be carefully scrutinized, but his human nature is even more difficult to predict. Regardless of whether he is an orphan or someone with a family and a career, it is difficult to guarantee that you can control the other person.

    Lu Lingjun suffered losses in his previous life due to trusting outsiders.

    The reason why big families only trust children born in the family is that their entire family is under the control of the master and they will never have any second thoughts. The maids and servants occasionally recruited from outside will always have the lowest status after entering the mansion and do the hardest jobs. Only a few who have been selected from childhood to be personal maids and servants for the young ladies and masters will be treated better.
