Soon the new In Charge had arrived, named Yu LePing, who was a fallen scholar who had failed the examinations many times over the years and had also squandered his family fortune, without getting married or having children at the proper age.
Despondent, he then sold himself into servitude, seeking a stable old age.
He was alone, and unlike Yue Ming, would not embezzle money; of course, the pride inherent in a scholar also would not allow him to do so.
Previously, he had worked as Mr. Accountant at a shop, until the Owner sold the place and he ended up at the Tan Family after being passed around several times by the Human Teeth.
"Meeting Master Tan, Madam."
A man in his thirties knelt on the ground.
"Please rise, the Tan Family does not stand on ceremony."
Yu LePing earnestly said, "Rules must not be abandoned, as I am a servant bought by the Tan Family, I ought to act like one."
After performing the ritual, he then stood aside with his hands hanging down.
