Reference for Gittin 23:9

אי הכי מעשה ידיו אמאי לרבו להעדפה

But now look at the continuation [of the passage quoted]: But if a woman is exiled to a city of refuge, her husband is under obligation to maintain her. Obviously this speaks of a case where the husband did not say to her, ['You may keep your earnings etc.',] because if he did, why should he have to support her? And since that is the case here, then we presume that the first part of the passage also deals with the case in which the master did not say to the slave, ['Keep your earnings' etc.]?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which proves that a master can say to a slave 'work for me but I will not support you'.
