Lin Wan looked at him in surprise. Firstly, it was now 5 o'clock in the morning, what kind of person would get up before dawn and kneel at her door to pay respects? Secondly, this person had performed an exaggerated three bows and nine knocks (I'm not a Buddha, thank you), with an expression on his face that was both sincere and terrified, as if he himself was afraid of something. As a concubine, being favored or not favored was like heaven and earth, indeed many strange things would happen after she gained favor!

  Although she didn't understand what this person was doing here.

  She then asked: "What brings you here?"

  Zhang Deqing heard these five words, his legs trembled and his upper body fell to the side. His voice trembling, he said: "Master Lin spare my life! It was this slave's negligence that Mirror Moon Pavilion didn't assign palace maids, delaying Master... Master, please be magnanimous and spare this slave, don't send me to the laundry bureau..."

  Lin Wan looked at him twitching and her own mouth started to twitch. Ah, I'm really sorry, Zhang Gonggong, I made a mistake with my lines earlier, bringing words from another dimension over here, don't misunderstand!

  I didn't mean to tease you, can you please stop shaking?

  Lin Wan could only clear her throat and say in a refined tone, "Director Zhang is busy with many matters every day, it's understandable that he would forget sometimes. I won't blame you." According to the palace rules, a selected servant can have three attendants, Lin Wan previously had only one, who was also quite incompetent, which was naturally due to the carelessness of the Imperial Household Department responsible for training palace staff.

  I was really too miserable before, and my family background is low. Even Zhang Guanshi didn't expect that such a concubine could make a comeback.

  Lin Wan's second sentence was very tolerant, Zhang Deqing's face suddenly returned to its normal color, he knelt down to Lin Wan's feet, kowtowing and thanking her: "Thank you, young master, for your kindness, I will never dare again..."

  Zhang Deqing was afraid at the same time, and in his heart, he labeled Lin Xiaozhu as "cunning and ruthless". In his opinion, Lin Xiaozhu's first sentence was completely intimidating and threatening to tell herself that she was not easy to mess with; the second sentence was just a slap in the face followed by a sugar-coated pill.

  He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued to tremble, saying: "This time I'm here to make up for my past mistakes. Young Master has been promoted to a good person, according to the rules, there should be more people... Everyone is outside, Young Master, you go take a look?"

  Lin Yan stretched out her hand and casually tied up her hair, then sat down in the main seat of the hall, saying lightly: "Go bring him in."

  Lin Yan had been accustomed to being a high-ranking official in her past life, and every move she made was filled with the dignity of a superior. Zhang Deqing didn't dare to be slow, and quickly ordered everyone to come in and pay their respects. More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids crowded into the small room, all kneeling on the ground and paying their respects in an orderly manner, their faces full of reverence.

  Lin Yan was delighted to see their neat and uniform movements, as well as their humble and honest appearance. She thought to herself that even in her previous life when she was a high-ranking executive for many years, she had never met such obedient subordinates! If those jumping-around business staff had half the discipline of these people, she would have been overjoyed.

  Feudal society has its own advantages! The hierarchy is strict and the distinction between superior and inferior is clear, making it easy to manage.

  Next to her, a palace maid was kneeling in front of Lin Yu, escorted by two eunuchs. Zhang Guanshi stepped forward with a duster and whipped the maid's face, saying: "It's this bold and presumptuous slave who has repeatedly offended Young Master before, an unforgivable crime." Then he turned to Lin Yu with a flattering smile: "Young Master, how should we deal with her?"

  This palace maid is none other than the unlucky Xiao Mei - who was unfortunately assigned to serve the out-of-favor Lin Xuan Shi, and foolishly bullied people when Lin Xuan Shi fell out of favor, but even more unfortunate is that Lin Xuan Shi later regained favor. Classmate Xiao Mei, you should change your name.
