Nanny Tao listened and said, "Madam, generally speaking, in estates with servants, their marriages are decided by the master. Servants only follow orders; they do not have the autonomy to choose whom they marry. If everyone makes such demands, what should be done if several people fancy the same person?"
Gu Jinli said, "I understand. I'm not showing favoritism towards Ye Jingzi, but marriage should be based on mutual consent, and she has always been loyal and never made any mistakes, so I want to honor her wishes in marriage."
If I disregard her wishes and randomly pair her with a man and let that man touch her, what does that make it? Animal breeding?
Gu Jinli just thinking about it felt disgusted, so she wouldn't force Ye Jingzi into anything, nor any other servants unless the servant made a mistake or betrayed her; only then would she intervene.
