After Liu Qiaoer listened to Lu Yunzheng and found the four maids, Chunxiang was the only one who always cared about her good things.
Although the four maids have been taught by Madam Lu for many years, their personalities have become similar.
From the outside, they all seem to be diligent, careful and well-behaved.
In fact, the ones who did the best were Chunxiang and Xia Ying.
Chunxiang is Mrs. Lu's maid, and her future destination will definitely be the son of a manager in the mansion.
Xia Ying is Lu Yunzheng's maid. She has been serving him since she was young and will definitely become Lu Yunzheng's aunt in the future.
Dong Ling was Lu Yunqing's maid, and her ending was the same as Xia Ying's, becoming the second young master's concubine.
Qiuyu was originally Lu Yunxi's costumer, but when the Lu family got into trouble, she ran away with her parents. She didn't have a good life and met Xia Ying on the way.
After learning that there was a young master and a young lady in the Lu family, he returned to the Lu family.
Still serving Lu Yunxi.
Seeing Chunxiang, Liu Qiaoer patted the seat next to her and said, "Come and sit down. I can't understand what they are singing. Let's take a break."
Chunxiang smiled in sympathy: "I don't quite understand either. Let's goof off together."
Liu Qiaoer and Chunxiang smiled at each other, and both of them lay on the fence of the pavilion, looking at the whole garden and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Chunxiang looked at Liu Qiao'er who seemed to have no plan in mind, and after a little patience, she advised: "Qiao'er, in fact, the Madam is celebrating the second young master's birthday this time, intending to arrange a marriage for him."
As soon as they were released from prison, everyone knew that Madam Lu was going to marry Liu Qiaoer to Lu Yunqing.
Liu Qiaoer said nonchalantly, "I know. It's that girl from the Qin family. The second young master is getting old, and something happened to the Lu family. A happy event at this time is just the right time to get rid of the bad luck."
Chunxiang looked at Liu Qiaoer with a complicated expression: "Madam actually plans to make you the second young master's concubine."
Liu Qiaoer frowned: "What?"
She was a little confused about Mrs. Lu's train of thought.
Chunxiang pursed her lips and nodded: "That's right, Qiao'er, after all, you have done a favor to the Lu family, and the Madam cannot be ungrateful, but you are a maid. Logically, Dong Ling served the Second Young Master so well that she was worthy of being his concubine. People like us, when we grow up, will be worthy of being the servants in the family."
"If the servants are capable and become housekeepers, we will be housekeeper's wives at best."
In ancient times, the wife of a housekeeper was also a slave, while concubines were half masters.
Slaves had the lowest status, followed by concubines, and the wife had the highest status.
If Liu Qiaoer was not a time traveler but the original owner herself, she would probably cheer for Mrs. Lu's decision.
But she is a time traveler.
Liu Qiaoer suddenly felt like she was holding back her anger and really wanted to find someone to beat up.
"Sister Chunxiang, thank you for telling me, but I am no longer a maid in the Lu family. I think my marriage should be decided by me, and the lady should not be able to control it."
Chunxiang was slightly startled: "Did the masked gentleman just now redeem you?"
"That's good. No wonder Madam said your problem is difficult to handle. So that's how it is."
Liu Qiaoer smiled bitterly. Her situation was difficult not because of her identity, but because of what she had done.
Chunxiang held her chin up and looked at Liu Qiao'er with envy: "It's great that someone redeemed you. If a gentleman redeemed me, I would be very grateful."
Liu Qiaoer chuckled: "This is not easy. I only bought you for twenty taels of silver. I will give you twenty taels of silver. You can redeem yourself, isn't that enough?"
Chunxiang was surprised and puzzled: "You can do it this way. It will take a long time to save up 20 taels. How can I pay you back?"
"Besides, I was born into the Lu family. Apart from the Lu family, I am not familiar with other places."
Liu Qiaoer had no idea what to say about her innate servility.
Patting Chunxiang's shoulder, he sighed heavily: "Everyone has their own way of living, just be happy. However, if you really encounter any difficulties, just come to me, I can help, I will definitely help."
Chunxiang smiled, her face as beautiful as a flower: "I knew you were a good person. I don't know why they are dissatisfied with you. They even said behind your back that you took advantage of others' misfortune."
"Hmm?" Liu Qiao'er was speechless. "How did I take advantage of someone's misfortune? Is it because I saved Xiaoxi and Yang'er?"
Chunxiang nodded: "Dong Ling said that when the young master was taken away by Nanny Zhang, the lady gave him a lot of silver, and the young lady's jewelry and the young master's gold lock are all gone."
"You should know that these things are enough to feed an ordinary family, and you also opened a bun shop. You said that the capital of your bun shop also belonged to the young lady, so the money earned should belong to the Lu family."
Therefore, no matter what Liu Qiaoer did, it was what she should do, just because she was a maid of the Lu family. Saving people, visiting them in the prison, and redeeming them one by one were all her duties.
Now that their whole family has come out of prison, Liu Qiaoer should stick to her duties and not expect too much.
Liu Qiaoer took a deep breath and decided not to come to the Lu family again.
"I see. Thank you, Sister Chunxiang, for telling me. I am a free man now and could have stayed away from the Lu family. I was just thinking about Xiaoxi and Yang'er. Since they said so, I can't do anything about it. I think there are always people in the Lu family who know right from wrong."
Chunxiang looked at Liu Qiao'er with sympathy: "Actually, if I were you, I wouldn't necessarily be able to do so much. Qiao'er, you are more capable than the rest of us. If you really become the Second Young Master's concubine, it would be an injustice to you."
"Now it's all good. I heard that you were promised to a scholar. You will definitely be his wife in the future. You have finally made it."
Liu Qiao'er didn't comment. At this moment, Xia Ying appeared from nowhere with a tray in her hand. It was obvious that she was here to get some refreshments as well.
Seeing Chunxiang and Liu Qiaoer sitting idly, he became extremely angry.
"I'm so busy on the stage, and you guys are just lazing around here. Chunxiang, the Madam wants some refreshments, why don't you send them over quickly?"
Chunxiang quickly stood up, picked up the tea tray and ran away.
Liu Qiaoer also stood up and prepared to go back, but Xia Ying stuffed a tea tray in front of her.
"The eldest and second young masters want some snacks. Go get a plate of osmanthus cake, a plate of white jade cake, as well as the Biluochun that the eldest young master likes to drink and the Maojian that the second young master likes to drink."
The maids remembered clearly the hobbies of everyone in the mansion.
After giving the instructions, Xia Ying left. Liu Qiaoer went to the kitchen with the tray.
Just after passing a rockery, Liu Qiaoer suddenly heard a gentle laugh.
"Master Jing, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Have you thought about what I want to discuss with you? If you enter our Qin family, you won't have to perform operas day and night. There are so many actors looking forward to entering the mansion, why don't you agree?"
The sound of the clip was so soft that Liu Qiaoer got goose bumps all over her body.
Hiding quietly, he saw Jingshan being blocked by a woman. The woman's admiring eyes were glued to Jingshan, but Jingshan was like an old monk in meditation and ignored her.
"Master Jing, if you don't agree to my request, I will go find your boss. I don't believe that your boss won't give you to me with so much money."
