Chapter 380: Moving Out

Once everyone had gathered in the conference hall and the situation had been thoroughly investigated, the main culprits were dealt with accordingly. Mrs. Wu, the second in charge of the kitchen, was flogged with twenty strokes and sold, while Manager Jiang, the Foreign Affairs Room servant who had disrespected his master, was beaten with ten strokes and banished from the mansion. Manager Luo, from the kitchen, who was also partly responsible, was reassigned to a lesser role. Chen Afu had long disliked these individuals, who were all appointed by the Luos. They appeared more loyal to the Luos - their master's in-laws - than to her, their mistress, let alone Alu, who was just a country relative.

As Mrs. Wu was being dragged away, she shouted, "I was assigned by your wife to serve you, sir! You can't treat me like this... "

Chen Afu ordered, "Add twenty more strokes. How dare she instigate discord between mistress and master?"
