My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 984 - 748: Liking You From the First Glance

The Deputy Butler wanted to say something, but it was clear that Bo Qin didn’t want to listen. At this moment, the Deputy Butler realized Bo Qin hadn’t summoned him to issue a warning; it was obvious he didn’t want him to continue staying in the Bo Family.

The Deputy Butler’s face turned ashen. After a long pause, he finally looked at Bo Qin’s figure and spoke tremblingly, "Eldest Young Master, really, can you really not give me another chance?"

Bo Qin looked at the Deputy Butler expressionlessly, his gaze indifferent. "Deputy Butler, in principle, the people you brought in—over such a long period—you’ve had enough opportunities to warn them about what can and cannot be done in the Bo Family;

moreover, had you just paid a little attention, and I don’t mean much, you’d have understood how they gossip about my wife behind her back;

but you clearly knew everything and yet said nothing. Was I wrong?"

The Deputy Butler’s lips trembled, but he said nothing. He took a long breath, knowing it was beyond recovery, and closed his eyes. "I understand, Eldest Young Master, this time, I was wrong."

"Hmm, go collect your due benefits."

...

The Deputy Butler walked out of the study, and the butler was standing at the stairway waiting for him. Seeing him walk past with a dejected face, he didn’t even glance at him.

The butler called out to him, "Old Liu."

The Deputy Butler paused, his steps halted, then turned to look at the butler, smiling a more painful smile than crying, "It’s you."

The butler looked at his haggard and desolate appearance and sighed, "When you first entered the Bo Family, I was the one who guided you to the Deputy Butler position. You’ve reached this stage today, and I believe I’ve taught you no wrong. Do you know where you failed?"

The Deputy Butler looked at the butler without speaking.

The butler continued, "Your heart was too ambitious. In the Bo Family, the last thing you should do is carry personal motives into your work, and this was something I repeatedly cautioned you about when you entered. But I never expected you to...

still end up here. Can you tell me? Bringing in your niece, what was your purpose? To replace the Young Madam?"

The Deputy Butler’s face grew even paler. The butler snorted coldly, "The Young Master really treated you well, paying you five times the salary. Take care of yourself."

After saying this, the butler turned and left. The Deputy Butler watched his retreating figure for a long time before slowly saying, "Yes, I was greedy, I admit it."

He walked away with heavy, aged steps. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The butler stopped halfway on the stairs, glanced back at him, then continued steadily upstairs.

You reap what you sow.

Even reaching today, it’s the consequences one must bear.

This result isn’t something the Deputy Butler alone cannot bear. Although the people brought by the Deputy Butler had only been there for over two months, the benefits they received during these months, and the money they got, were undoubtedly high salaries in the industry.

It’s not that he hadn’t worked in large families before, but rarely did he encounter an employer as generous as the Bo Family.

Instead, most would give as little as possible to the servants.

So when the Deputy Butler found them and told them to collect a triple salary as they left the Bo Family, everyone was astounded and shocked.

Deputy Butler’s niece, Lou Qinqin, was most shocked. Taking a few steps towards the Deputy Butler, she looked at his pale face, incredulous, "Uncle, you must be joking, we’ve only been here for just over two months, why already..."

The others nodded in agreement, "Exactly, Deputy Liu, we’ve only been here a little over two months, why are we being asked to leave?"

The Deputy Butler looked at the anxious faces and the purpose-driven eyes of his niece, and he smiled bitterly, "Don’t you know what you’ve done?"

Lin Qinqin suddenly realized, her face filled with indignation, "Is it that Jian Dan who complained? What a petty person. We were just talking about her, is there really a need to be so stingy?

I’ll go find her and ask her, what right does she have to be in charge at the Bo Family."

"Are you crazy."

Seeing her about to rush out, the Deputy Butler quickly pulled her back.

"Don’t cause trouble."

Lin Qinqin shook off the Deputy Butler’s hand, her face full of indignant unrest, "How am I causing trouble? Wasn’t it her whispering in his ear? She knows how hard our work is, just because I touched her wrist she makes such a fuss, even fires everyone here, how shameless."

The butler, who had originally gone upstairs, remembered he hadn’t finished telling Deputy Liu everything and was about to look for the person. But as he reached the door, he heard the arguing inside and Deputy Liu’s niece’s shameless boasting.
