Hongji and his wife and children felt that if they really needed a maid and an old woman, it would also be possible to recruit them from outside, and there was no need to prevent the workers from reuniting with their families.
The housekeeper then told them that the old women and maids, even the little boys bought from outside, were not entirely safe, not to mention whether they would be loyal.
They were also preventing others from sending spies into their home, as their family had always been a target watched by many, especially by those in positions of power.
The owner sold the house, and it was sold to someone surnamed Ye, possibly a distant relative, which had already alerted some people and created concerns that it might lead to major events.
The old housekeeper couldn't just tell the new owners about these issues right away, after all, they came from the countryside and didn't know how complex Capital City was.
He was also doing it to protect the new owners.
