"Little brother, you can pay us whatever amount of silver you want, just sell us a sign."

"My dear brother, I really can't help you. The vouchers are in the hands of our shopkeeper, and all the vouchers have been issued. I really can't get them."

"Little brother, my lady really wants to participate in this auction. Please help me. My lady said that you can ask for anything you want, whether it's money or anything else. As long as you want, our lady will give you whatever she can."

The servant thought for a moment and asked, "Really?"

"of course."

"Then wait for me here at this time tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you for your help, little brother. This is a little reward for you."

"Thank you, brother."

"Sister Xiaohua, Ajie tried to steal the sign and was caught red-handed." Two servants brought a man named Ajie to Xiaohua.

"Ajie, I have repeatedly warned you not to agree to give a badge to anyone. All the badges that should be given have been given away. Why are you..."

Xiaohua had thought that someone would not be able to resist the temptation outside and commit theft, but Xiaohua did not expect that this person would be Ajie, who seemed the most reliable.

Ah Jie knew he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and didn't argue. In fact, just as Xiao Hua said, they hadn't had a rest for two months. Although they had said at the beginning that if they wanted to take a rest, they could take the initiative to ask for it, and the shopkeeper would definitely approve it.

But seeing that everyone was working so hard and didn't seem to need a break, Ajie was too embarrassed to ask for a break, and the money he was given was quite a lot.

When someone came to his house this time, Ajie refused, but then he thought that if he succeeded in stealing and asked for a large sum of money, wouldn't he not have to work anymore? So Ajie agreed.

But he didn't expect to be caught before he could steal it, and Ajie felt embarrassed about it.

"The young lady said that no matter who you are, no matter how long you have worked here, if you are caught doing this, you will be kicked out and will not be hired by the Ye Mansion again. You should pack up and leave now."

Xiaohua waved her hand, and the two people who were holding Ajie let go. Ajie got up from the ground, bowed to Xiaohua, then turned and left.

After Ajie left, “Everyone saw it. If anyone does it again, they will suffer the same fate as Ajie.”

Xiaohua had asked before whether thieves like these should be punished after being caught and then kicked out to serve as a warning to others.

But Ye Ziyu refused. After all, they were master and servant, so it was better to part ways amicably. If the person cooperated, she could just kick him out. If he didn't cooperate, she would punish him first and then throw him out.

Xiaohua saw that Ajie was very quiet and did not argue or resist, so she handled the situation gently by just kicking him out.

This also served as a warning to her, and it seemed that everyone had to be on guard.

On the second day, Xiaohua told Ye Ziyu about this matter. Ye Ziyu couldn't react too much after hearing it. Firstly, she was not familiar with these workers, as they were all selected by Ye Jiaxuan.

The second is that she had long guessed that such a person would appear. Whether it was the law or her intuition, there would definitely be a traitor in this kind of situation.

"Okay, I understand. Let's just destroy the remaining signs. Everyone else should be alert."

Through this incident, we were able to catch the disloyal person, which is a big gain.

In fact, even if the badge was stolen, the person who got the badge still couldn't come in, because Ye Ziyu gave each participating lady a specific sachet, and the number of sachets was just right.

But Ye Ziyu didn’t tell anyone about this. This was a small mark she designed herself.

Over the next few days, Ye Ziyu didn't meet anyone and concentrated on completing the final draft.

"Finally done."

"Miss, have some tea." Lixia served the tea to Ye Ziyu, then went behind her to massage her shoulders to relax her. "The timing is just right. There are still seven days until the auction day."

"I want to finish this matter as soon as possible, so that I don't have to sleep well thinking about it all the time."

"Then Miss can have a good sleep tonight."

"Has anyone come to see me these days?" Ye Ziyu told Lixia that unless there was something really urgent, she would not see any visitors.

"Fourth Aunt sent someone again, but after hearing that the young lady was not available, she did not bother any more and just left."

"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I last saw her. I wonder how she is doing now."
