Chapter 279: The Young Lady Doesn’t Want to Be a Slave
When introducing Yao Bier, played by Min Nanqiu, Nanny Lin paused, a look of embarrassment looming on her brows.
When Young Marquis Yuan sent someone over yesterday, he didn't say where to arrange her!
"Why? What is this girl good at?"
Seeing Nanny Lin hesitating, Ying Shi became a little impatient and asked urgently.
Min Nanqiu racked his brains to think of his own strengths and said, "I..."
Before she could finish her words, Ying Shi glared at her and asked Nanny Lin in a cold voice:
"This is the person you chose? Don't you know that you should call yourself a slave in front of your masters?"
When she first met Deng Youning last year, she also abided by the rules and gradually became familiar with the young lady, the prince and Lord Li before she got permission.
Ying Shi scolded them harshly, and both Nanny Lin and Min Nanqiu trembled with fear.
Nanny Lin glared at Min Nanqiu fiercely. Young Marquis Yuan really knew how to find trouble for her!
"I'm sorry, young lady. It's Old Yu who didn't teach me well."
She bowed and greeted him, then apologized with a smile.
Seeing Ying Shi's aura subsided a little, he turned to look at Min Nanqiu and said sternly: "Remember your current identity, you are just a servant. Even if you are beaten, scolded, or driven out by your master, you cannot resist."
Since the daughter of the Min family is unwilling to be a good woman and insists on coming to Changle Palace to be a slave, she can only rely on herself in everything in the future. She must be careful and cautious. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God.
I bumped into the maid in charge today, so I tried to give her a warning.
This would prevent any trouble from happening in the mansion in the future and Prince Changle from holding a grudge against their entire pawnshop.
"Silly girl, when the girl asks you a question, you should call yourself a slave like them."
"Answer again, what are you good at?"
Nanny Lin said sternly.
She could only help Miss Min up to this point.
Being scolded by her is better than being kicked out before meeting King Changle.
"I...I know I was wrong."
Min Nanqiu replied stutteringly.
For the sake of Prince Changle and the entire Min family, she endured today's humiliation.
She looked up and glanced at Sakura, memorizing her appearance as quickly as possible.
There was no way, she didn't dare to look Yingshi directly in the eye.
Ying Shi, who knew martial arts and had killed many people, was different from any girl she had ever seen.
The natural murderous aura on his body frightened her.
She silently clenched her fists in her sleeves.
It can be considered as remembering the humiliation today. If this maid falls into my hands in the future, I will make her pay!
"I'll ask you again, what are you good at?"
Ying Shi received news from Li Tianzhuo in advance that there might be a spy from the Yuan family among these slaves, but she was not sure which one it was. Otherwise, she would not recruit someone who could not do his job at first glance.
"I am good at needlework and embroidery."
Min Nanqiu finally thought of his own abilities.
After all, she is the eldest daughter who has been properly trained by the Min family!
"I can read, and... I can play the piano, so I can entertain you, my lady."
When Ying Shi heard this, she began to suspect the Yuan family's spy.
How could they be able to read and write, or even play the zither?
However, if Yao Bier is the Yuan family's spy, wouldn't it be too easy for her to be exposed so obviously?
Yingshi had thousands of plans in his mind.
Nanny Lin's forehead was also covered with sweat.
She was busy trying to smooth things over for Min Nanqiu:
"Miss, you don't know that when her father was still alive, her family was also considered a landlord. Later, her father died early, and the relatives and villagers bullied her and her widowed mother, so they occupied their land and caused her family to end up here."
Yingshi was skeptical about her life experience.
"Then you are pitiful."
"Yao Bier, right? From now on, just follow me and do whatever I tell you to do."
Yingshi would only feel at ease if she kept such an unstable factor by her side.
When Nanny Lin heard that she could stay, the excitement in her heart was reflected on her face.
"Let these seven people stay."
"Uncle Gui, go and pay the balance to Nanny Lin, and then have Aunt Guihua take them to arrange a room."
After Yingshi gave these instructions, she left on her own.
Not long after, Min Nanqiu was taken to the servants' room along with the other maids by a fat nanny.
The Changle Palace will not treat its servants unfairly, and the food, clothing and other expenses they provide are much better than those of normal people.
The servants were assigned two people to a room, and there were exactly seven of them, so there was one extra person.
Min Nanqiu gave Aunt Guihua a gold bracelet and lived in a room by herself.
But, servants are servants after all, and their food and accommodation conditions are by no means comparable to when Min Nanqiu was the eldest daughter of the Min family.
She had just transformed from a young lady into a maid, which was a very difficult situation for her.
It’s because you can’t eat or sleep well!
The next morning, the seven maids changed into uniform clothes and went to their respective posts.
Min Nanqiu also followed Ying Shi like a tail.
Originally, Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo planned to send Deng Yan'an back to Dongji today. Now that Deng Youning wants to go with them, Deng Yan'an's itinerary has naturally been changed.
Early in the morning, Deng Youning, Li Tianzhuo, Deng Yan'an and others sat together to eat.
Min Nanqiu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Ying Shi, a maid, and Xiu Ming, a guard, could actually sit at the same table with them for dinner.
Her brain was about to explode when she saw that Prince Changle, whom she had admired for a long time and whom she had to work hard to even talk to, was actually picking up food for the two servants Yingshi and Xiuming.
She only saw that they were not like master and servant, but she didn't know that they were companions who had experienced life and death together.
Li Tianzhuo had already regarded Xiu Ming, who had been with him for six years, as a brother; Deng Youning had also already regarded Ying Shi, who was loyal to her master, as a sister.
The relationship between them is naturally incomparable to that between ordinary masters and servants.
After staying in the mansion for two days, she couldn't stand being ordered around like a servant anymore and wanted to carry out her own plan.
She began to appear in front of Li Tianzhuo intentionally or unintentionally, trying to have more contact with him.
Every time she spoke to him, she even felt that her empty heart was satisfied.
*
Deng Youning and the others tentatively decided to leave Yuncheng on the tenth day of the third day.
Li Tianzhuo, who seemed relieved that Deng Youning and the others were going back, drank another large jar of wine by himself after dinner.
He still doesn't have the ability enough and can't even protect the people he wants to protect the most.
Being incompetent, he could only drown his sorrows in alcohol.
When Min Nanqiu saw this scene, he felt that now was a good time.
Those people from Dongji just went out to the night market, and King Changle was drunk again.
She felt that tonight was the perfect night for both the timing and the people.
Although she had only been in the palace for a few days, it would be a bit hasty for her to take action against Prince Changle now.
But she was also really afraid. If she missed such a good opportunity tonight, she didn't know how long she would have to wait for the next one.
She mixed Hehuan powder into the hangover soup.
And she can't deliver the soup herself.
Otherwise, if you try to please Prince Changle too obviously, he will definitely become suspicious.
She instantly thought of the old servants who already existed in the mansion.
Before coming, Yuan Gu gave her a general idea of these people's temperaments, personalities, and family backgrounds.
Otherwise, since she couldn't do anything well and was clumsy, Uncle Gui and Aunt Guihua would have taught her how to do things without Yingshi teaching her.
"Uncle Gui, I saw that the prince has been drinking alone, so I made him a bowl of sobering soup. Why don't you help bring it in?"
Min Nanqiu smiled and said to Uncle Gui who was passing by Li Tianzhuo's bedroom.
After all, Uncle Gui is an old man who has followed Li Tianzhuo for his entire life. How could he not see the thoughts of a little maid like Min Nanqiu?
His nose twitched, and he asked with a questioning look:
"It's really a hangover soup. Why does it smell a bit strange to me?"
