Mu Xiaoyu is currently rushing to finish her manuscript. She had always thought she had a lot of drafts saved up, but when she was bored yesterday, she looked through her drafts and found that she had very few left. In a few days, her previous drafts will be exhausted.
For people in their line of work, the most taboo thing is to stop updating. If an update is interrupted when the plot of a comic is at its most exciting, then Mu Xiaoyu's reputation will definitely be affected.
So after breakfast, Mu Xiaoyu didn't go anywhere and stayed in her study working on her manuscript.
For almost the entire morning, Mu Xiaoyu had barely moved her hands, except for the ones she used to paint. Now, suddenly hearing the maid's words, she looked up and immediately felt uncomfortable all over, her complexion naturally turning pale.
What are the people from the old house doing here?
"The butler's expression was not good."
The maid stammered in response, her eyes darting away, avoiding Mu Xiaoyu's gaze.
The matter of Mu Pengzheng has caused quite a stir in the capital, and it has reached the ears of the Li family. They already disliked Mu Xiaoyu, and now that they have sent their steward over, they are naturally here to interrogate him.
However, even if these maids thought this way, they didn't dare to tell Mu Xiaoyu directly. If they did, she might be finished.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu didn't notice the maid's strange appearance. Upon hearing this, she just clicked her tongue impatiently, put down the electronic pen in her hand, straightened her clothes slightly, and left the study.
The housekeeper of the Li family's old mansion was an elderly woman who was probably in her fifties or approaching sixty. Logically speaking, elderly women of this age should all have a good temper. However, the housekeeper of the Li family's old mansion had a temper that could not be described as merely bad.
Every time Mu Xiaoyu went to the Li family with Li Chenxu, the butler never gave her a kind look. In fact, when Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu's relationship was not good, he deliberately embarrassed Mu Xiaoyu.
Previously, Mu Xiaoyu still remembered the principle of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, but now, facing such a disrespectful person, Mu Xiaoyu naturally could no longer speak kindly to the other party.
She slowly went downstairs and looked at the butler sitting in the living room.
"What brings you here? And as a butler, is it proper for you to sit on the master's sofa without permission?"
Mu Xiaoyu spoke calmly and slowly, but her words were sharp and incisive.
Upon hearing this, the butler's face stiffened, and the stern question that was about to come out was swallowed back by Mu Xiaoyu's words.
She didn't stand up, but looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a grim expression and said in a deep voice, "I am the Li family's steward, and these things are only useful to the Li family."
"Oh? So, in your eyes, Brother Shenxu doesn't count as a member of the Li family?"
"I did not mean that!"
The butler never expected Mu Xiaoyu to be so eloquent, and he immediately became anxious, his gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu growing increasingly disgusted.
Ignoring the butler's gaze, Mu Xiaoyu looked at him with a half-smile, then walked to the sofa in the middle and sat down. Looking at the butler who was still sitting on the sofa to the side, she smiled and said, "Since there's nothing, what are you still doing sitting here?"
The matter had already been discussed to this extent, and there were many maids she had personally trained present. If she still insisted on sitting on the sofa at this point, and the news reached the ears of the Li family, she would be punished even if she wasn't fired.
Thinking of this, the butler could only grit his teeth and stand up.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Do you want to eat me up?"
Seeing the constantly changing expression on the other person's face, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. In front of so many people, he didn't give the butler any face at all.
"Miss Mu! I'm here to deliver a message on behalf of the master. You'd better show some respect!"
"Respect? You're talking to me about respect? Do you even have a brain? Did you think about your previous attitude before saying that?"
Mu Xiaoyu retorted without hesitation, her sharp eyes fixed on the butler as she spoke, her aggressive demeanor rendering the butler speechless.
She stared blankly at Mu Xiaoyu, never imagining that Mu Xiaoyu had become like this.
"Why don't you speak?"
Mu Xiaoyu had no intention of letting the man go so easily. Seeing the butler's stunned expression, she held on tightly.
Upon hearing this, the butler immediately snapped out of his daze, his old face turning bright red instantly because of Mu Xiaoyu's words.
She glared at Mu Xiaoyu angrily, opening her mouth as if to insult him, but when she caught sight of the maids peeking over from inside the villa, she swallowed back the words she was about to utter.
No matter how much Old Master Li dislikes Mu Xiaoyu, at least for now, Mu Xiaoyu is a member of the Li family. To put it nicely, she is the Li family's housekeeper; to put it bluntly, she is just a servant in the Li family.
If she really offended or contradicted Mu Xiaoyu, it wouldn't be a big deal if word didn't get out, but if it did, it would be like slapping the entire Li family in the face. At that time, she would definitely be punished.
It's really not worth it for Mu Xiaoyu!
The housekeeper hated Mu Xiaoyu to the core, but because of Mu Xiaoyu's status, he could only swallow his anger and said through gritted teeth with his head down, "Madam, please don't be angry. Just now... I offended you."
Mu Xiaoyu glanced at the butler, then chuckled and said nothing more.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu hadn't spoken for a while, the housekeeper couldn't help but look at her. But Mu Xiaoyu was already lying on the sofa playing games on her phone, completely ignoring her.
She had lived in the Li family for decades, and Li Chenxu had watched her grow up. Even though she was a servant in the Li family, most of the people in the family respected her. They had never seen anyone as unreasonable as Mu Xiaoyu.
Furthermore, the butler was already old, and seeing Mu Xiaoyu's arrogant attitude, he was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He pointed a trembling finger at Mu Xiaoyu, wanting to start cursing, but before he could say anything, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Such a big person falling to the ground was quite a shock.
This time, Mu Xiaoyu finally reacted. She quickly got off the sofa and checked the housekeeper's nose to make sure he was alright. Then, she curled her lip in disdain and said to the other maids who were already quite frightened, "He's fine. Take him back and tell them that the housekeeper is too old. If anything happens in the future, remember to find someone younger."
