Chapter 2 - 2 001 Above the Altar_2
Chapter 2: 001: Above the Altar_2 Chapter 2: 001: Above the Altar_2 “This house is really impressive.”
Of course, it’s impressive.
Flower Chamber Hall is the most expensive property in the Imperial Capital, containing only 19 garden villas, each with a garden of three acres. The villa district is located right at the center of the Imperial Capital, with the largest freshwater lake of the empire, Falling Leaf Lake, right behind it—enjoying natural landscapes and the nourishment of Spiritual Spring amidst the bustling city.
You can’t just buy your way in here with money.
Walking through the corridor, they reached the front courtyard, where people were talking in the hexagonal pavilion to the west. The slightly older one was the Gu Family’s household manager, Manager Ming. The two younger ones were the domestic staff for the garden, Xiao Yin and Xiao Xia.
Manager Ming, dressed in the Gu Family’s work uniform—a knee-length skirt, her hair neatly tied in a low bun—was stiff and strict, “The guests are in the hall, why aren’t you attending to them? What are you standing around here for?”
Xiao Yin was a subordinate, a bit meek, “I saw it raining and came over to prepare umbrellas for the guests.”
Manager Ming glared at her face, “Did you put on makeup?”
Xiao Yin immediately lowered her head, “No.”
The Gu Family had specific staff responsible for receiving and attending to guests. Umbrella delivery wasn’t the gardener’s job. Manager Ming didn’t want to hear Xiao Yin’s excuses and commanded directly, “Go wash your face clean.”
“I told you I didn’t.”
Xiao Xia, who enjoyed the spectacle, chimed in, “Eyebrows, lipstick, not a thing missing. And you say you didn’t?”
Manager Ming had already lost her patience, “Go wash it off. If the lady of the house sees you, you will have to pack up and resign tomorrow.”
The Gu Family was a family of distinction—such a large garden villa required people to look after it, hence several domestic staff with gardener certification were employed.
Old Mr. Gu was upright in his entire life, but the two sons of the Gu Family were incompetent and lascivious. It was not uncommon for them to get entangled with the household staff. The lady of the house, at her wit’s end, stipulated that all the domestic female staff working in the Gu Family weren’t allowed to wear makeup.
Manager Ming scolded, “You’re not new to working here, don’t you remember the rules?”
Xiao Yin was silent.
