989. Build His Prestige in the Backyard (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

The voices of the crowd were trembling. And Ling Jingxuan stopped where he should. Walking up to Steward Qin, he said in a stern voice, "In the future, you will still be the steward, and you can nominate the assistant stewards and cleaner as you want. The only thing is that no one is allowed to enter their masters' room without permission. Secondly, these people will be taken down and re-registered. You personally select a few smart maids and hand them over to Ling Yun for training. If there is any problem, I'd only hold you accountable. Thirdly, from now on, there will be people guarding the front, back, and side doors of the mansion. Except for people who buy daily necessities, the others can only go out once a month. If there are important things at home, such as their parents being seriously ill, they must report to me for permission before going out. And, find a few skilled carpenters later. Remember, the safety of the masters is prior to everything!"

He didn't want to be a harsh master, but in this situation, even those who had been screened layer by layer may not necessarily be safe and trustworthy. He had to act cautiously, otherwise if something happened to the children, he would live a lifetime of regret. For everyone's safety, he would rather become a demon in the eyes of the world!

"Got it, got it."

Steward Qin was also quite scared, his voice trembling and his body trembling even harder. Ling Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "Go down and send a few people to clean the mess outside."

"Got it."

Finally, they could get out of here, and a group of people almost cried out. The first impression this crown princess gave them was too profound and horrible. Even if they really had that heart, they didn't have the balls to have some other thoughts.

"Ling Yun, help deliver the food for those servants and maids. You should know what to do, right?"

After they all left, Ling Jingxuan's expression softened a bit. The hearts of those people had already been wild. Even if they were not sent by someone else, he would have been bullied by them if he didn't try to set his prestige in this mansion. With so many children at home, he didn't want to take any risks.

"Got it."

Ling Yun, who was nearly twenty years old, nodded steadily. Ling Jingxuan had already trained her how to train servants and maids before. Now that Ling Jingxuan was the bad cop, she naturally would act as the good cop. Only by whipping and giving a candy then could he better control them.

"Go ahead."

Walking back to the main seat and sitting down, looking at the empty hall, there was only the main seats and chairs on both sides, with nothing in the middle. Although this was basically the standard configuration of a large mansion in this era, Ling Jingxuan felt not quite used to it and secretly decided to have someone make a large round table and place it in the living room later. He and the children were used to sitting around the table chatting and doing things.

"I thought you would dismiss them all and buy some news ones."

Pouring him a cup of tea, Yan Shengrui joked softly. When he first married him, it was also a series of killings, and in the end, he bought dozens of people at a time.

"I'm not that boring. This is not our home, which is the place to live for a lifetime. Of course, we need to cultivate a group of trustworthy people. And here, it's just a temporary residence. Once the problem in Nanjiang is solved, little Seven will send a new Chief Secretary over. We should probably go back by then, and I wouldn't do such a foolish thing of helping others cultivate their trustworthy subordinates."
