Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 349 Recalling the old man
"Miss, do you really plan to use those people from the family branch?" Facing Purficott's request, the loyal old butler Foster had no surprise on his face, but he still acted as a butler. He advised Purficott: "Although I don't object to your decision, I ask you to be careful. These relatives in the family are not trustworthy."

As the retinue knight of Grandpa Purfict, the old butler followed Grandpa Purfict through life and death, and witnessed with his own eyes the rise of the Brandlis family from an ordinary knight family to a baron family, and then its decline.

In this process, the old housekeeper knew exactly what role these relatives of the family played, and what their faces were like when the family prospered and declined.

He has no objection to Perficott's use and promotion of these people. After all, Perficott is indeed short of manpower now. Although these people are not trustworthy as distant relatives of the family, they are still useful.

"I know they are not trustworthy. When the family is prosperous, they will stick to it like lapdogs. When the family declines, they want to share the family inheritance like hyenas. It is very annoying." Of course, Purficott is the same. She hates these so-called relatives, but she does not let her emotions influence her decision: "But isn't it easier to control and drive their characteristics? As long as I still have power and status, I can guarantee their power and wealth. , they will obey my orders and support my rule.

As for whether they will mess around and ruin my reputation, Grandpa Afu, do you think I won't raise a butcher's knife against my relatives? "

Will Purficott raise a butcher's knife against his relatives? Foster didn't want to know the answer to that question.

Purficott's hands have been stained with too much blood, and if possible, Foster hopes that she can avoid being stained with the blood of her relatives.

Even those people were only relatives in name only to her.

So the loyal old butler asked Perficott: "If you insist on this, then please let me take charge of this matter. Those people are not worth your time and effort, and if you show up in person, They will definitely make some unrealistic and unreasonable demands.”

After talking about this matter, the old housekeeper organized his thoughts and then said: "Miss, there is one more thing that may require your consent."

"As you command, miss." The old housekeeper saluted Purficott.

Hearing what Foster said, Purficott touched his chin, thought for a while and agreed to the old butler's request: "Okay, I'll leave those people to you, Grandpa Afu, if you can use them." Use it, and get rid of it if you can’t use it, no need to take into account any relatives.”

"What's the matter?" Purficott had already lowered his head and continued to process the documents in front of him.

"It's about the maids and other servants in your lord's mansion. Although the origins of these people cannot be explained clearly, they were arranged by others after all. Since they cannot be replaced with alchemy dolls, I suggest that you recall the former servants of the Brandlis family, they are more trustworthy." The old housekeeper asked Perficott for instructions. In addition to worrying about the safety of the Lord's Mansion and Perficott, he was also doing this for his own good. A concern for those servants who have served the Brandless family for generations.

After all, Purficott had fired all the servants before, but at that time she was the only one left in the family. At that time, the old housekeeper of Brandless Manor could also take the responsibility, so he supported her in doing so for her safety. .

But now the Brandless family is completely different, and Perficott has also become the Northern Lord. In the old butler's opinion, if the servants in the huge Northern Lord's mansion are all arranged by others, even if Perficott can Replacing servants in key positions with alchemy dolls cannot guarantee the safety and reliability of the lord's mansion.

That's why he hopes to take this opportunity to recall all the family's former servants. After all, each of them has served the Brandless family for several generations and is indeed fully trustworthy. And more importantly, they are the subjects of the Brandlis family, and the family should not abandon them if they have a choice.

"Recall the former servants? Okay, Grandpa Afu, just watch and handle this matter, don't let anyone send spies in." Purficott directly approved Foster's request.

Purficott didn't pay too much attention to Foster's request for instructions because she believed that her old housekeeper could handle everything.

Foster naturally didn't say much, nodded and exited Perfectcott's room.

In fact, the old butler can handle these matters by himself, but without Purficott's permission, his doing so seems to be a bit overstepping.

For Foster, he does not consider himself to be Purficott's elder. Although Purficott has always treated him as his only elder and relative, the old Foster only thinks of himself as Perficott's elder. Ficott's butler.

So even though he had always hoped that Purficott could recall the family's servants and subjects, he did not speak directly to Purficott, but waited for a suitable time.

It was precisely because of this respect and clear self-positioning that Purficott respected the old butler and did not just regard him as a butler.

Now, with Perficott's permission, the old butler can finally recall all the subjects of the Brandlis family and the servants of the former manor. This can be regarded as getting rid of one of the obsessions in the old butler's heart.

After all, she saw that the parents of the old Baron Brandlis and Purficott, whom she had taken care of when they were growing up, died one after another. The whole family declined almost overnight, leaving only Perficott. She dismissed Having lost all the servants in the manor and trusting almost no one, the old housekeeper was very sad.

He almost thought that the Brandless family was going to be finished. After all, even with the care of Princess Anne, Purficott was just an underage girl who had not inherited the title, and countless people would be watching her and the interests she represented. , the old housekeeper alone cannot protect her at all.

At that time, the old butler even had the consciousness to protect Perfectiket even if it cost him his own life.

However, no one expected that Purficott could turn the Brandless family out of danger in just a few years. Now he has become the lord of the north, allowing the Brandless family to reach a place where they have never been before. Unprecedented heights.

This makes the old butler feel gratified, and at the same time he is even more eager to return the Brandless family to its former prosperity. The recall of those former servants is a sign of the family's revival in the old butler's opinion.
