Chapter 673 If this isn’t a joke, what is?
Chuncao curled her lips and said, "Eighth Concubine, Madam Ye is so blessed! Besides, comparing yourself to others will only make you angry!"
Zhang Qiuye argued unconvincedly, "When did I ever compete with her? I was just thinking, what if?"
Zhang Qiuye thought that if she had not snatched Zhang Juexia's marriage, she would have married Ye Beixiu. Then she would be the wife of a successful candidate, which was much better than being the eighth concubine of the wealthy Li.
But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she took them back.
She knew that Chuncao was no longer on the same page with her, and she also had to plan for her future.
Chuncao had just heard from Aunt Liu that she should repeat Zhang Qiuye's words. She rolled her eyes and took the opportunity to speak out.
"Eighth Concubine, I actually feel sorry for you."
"What a pity! Weren't you just speaking for your master?"
"Eighth Concubine, why don't you understand your own identity? Everything you eat, drink, and use now was given to you by my master.
What I'm saying is that you should keep the little lady with you."
Zhang Qiuye snorted coldly, "Whether you can raise a palm-sized kid into a big one is another matter.
As soon as I saw that she was a girl, I felt uncomfortable. Why keep her around? Wouldn't it just cause me trouble every day?
I still say that, it is more fortunate for the child to be raised by my wife than by me. I cannot be a selfish person, I have to consider her."
Chuncao was full of contempt for Zhang Qiuye after hearing his high-sounding words, but she still pretended to feel sorry for him, "Eighth Concubine, I was gossiping with some of my sisters outside these days, and I heard the news that the Master and the Madam wanted to send the concubines who didn't give birth to children out of the house. This is probably true.
You raised the little lady with your wife, what are you doing?
What if the master and the mistress want to send you out of the house?
Zhang Qiuye's eyes lit up instantly, "Chuncao, are you serious?"
Chuncao bit her lip and said, "It's probably 80% to 90% true anyway."
Zhang Qiuye wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes excitedly with a handkerchief. "Chuncao, can you help me find out more? If this is true, what are the rules on the Master and Madam's side? How much silver will they give?"
"The master and the mistress are both generous people, so the severance pay will definitely be substantial.
only? "
Seeing Chuncao stopped talking, Zhang Qiuye quickly stepped forward and held her hand, “Chuncao, my dear sister, since I came into the mansion, you have been serving me by my side. You and I are the most caring.
If you have anything to say, just tell me now, don’t hide it from me.”
"What I want to say is that you have to be careful about the matter of the Eighth Concubine!
After all, once you leave the mansion, you will no longer have its protection.
But then again, if you have money in your hands, you can live well."
Zhang Qiuye narrowed her eyes and began to ponder again. After a while, she took out a small piece of silver from the box on the bed and put it in Chuncao's hand. "My dear sister, I'm leaving this matter to you. If there is any news from the mansion, you must tell me as soon as possible."
Chuncao looked at the pitiful amount of silver in her hand and really wanted to return it, but she finally convinced herself that no matter how small a louse is, it is still meat.
She stuffed the silver into her pocket and said, "Eighth Concubine, what do you mean?"
"As long as the money is enough, it would be best if I could leave the house.
Chuncao, I don’t want to be trapped here at such a young age. I want to go out and see what the outside world is like.
I just don’t believe that Zhang Juexia can make his business so successful outside.
I am exactly like her, so how can it be wrong?
Besides, I have some money on me and I came from the Li Mansion. If I open a shop, I will definitely earn more money than Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia opened an embroidery workshop and thought she was so great that I had to compete with her no matter what.
Let her know that once I leave the house, she will no longer be my opponent."
Chuncao opened and closed her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say what she wanted to say.
Forget it, don't discourage this ignorant person. She is already in a bad mood. If I provoke her again, she will probably go crazy.
It’s not good for me if someone goes crazy while I’m serving him!
Chuncao tried hard to persuade herself.
Zhang Qiuye was thinking about her future happy life. She glanced at Chuncao with a look of great sympathy and said, "Chuncao, are you so willing to be a maid in the Li Mansion? Why don't you follow me out of the mansion?"
Chuncao was so frightened that she quickly took a few steps back, but she still pretended to be grateful, "Eighth Auntie, it's a blessing for Chuncao that you think of me.
But Chuncao is a daughter of the Li family, so I'm afraid there's no way she can leave the Li family."
"You are such a pitiful child. How about I beg the Master and the Madam to let you out of the house for my sake?"
Chuncao knelt down in fear. "Eighth Concubine, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm too stupid. I'm afraid I won't be of any help to your business after leaving the house. If that happens, it will hinder your ability to make money, which will be very troublesome."
Zhang Qiuye looked at his hands and nodded in approval. "You really aren't that smart. Taking you out of the house is really a burden. That's all, is it?"
Chuncao said firmly, "Eighth Concubine, there's nothing wrong. Just leave the house and live a good life.
My status is clear, as long as I don't starve in the Li Mansion, that's all that matters."
After Chuncao said this, she squeezed out a few tears and said, "Eighth Concubine, you are so good to me.
It's just that you're too weak now. While you're still in the mansion, you should take good care of yourself. Let me help you get to bed and rest!"
Zhang Qiuye pondered Chuncao's words, "Chuncao, you are right. I haven't left the house yet, so I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to eat some good supplements and take care of my body.
Help me to bed now and let me rest. After I lie down, go find my wife and tell her that I am not feeling well again and want to ask a doctor to come and take a look.
Then, I'll ask the doctor to prescribe some good tonics. Okay, let's do it this way!"
Chuncao had just breathed a sigh of relief, but now she was in tears again. She had really shot herself in the foot.
However, it would be fine as long as Zhang Qiuye stopped pestering her and took her out of the house.
She is not stupid. She knows Zhang Qiuye's abilities best. If she follows her out of the house, maybe one day Zhang Qiuye will run out of money and she will be the first one to be sold out.
Alas, Chuncao sighed. She really wanted to knock open Zhang Qiuye’s head and take a good look at herself. She had no idea what she looked like!
After leaving the house, he was still planning to compete with Zhang Juexia.
Before the comparison even started, the difference was immediately apparent.
Oh, no, there is no comparison between the two now.
That day, she accidentally overheard the Madam and Madam Liu chatting, talking about Zhang Juexia's current business, which even the Li family could not compare with.
Zhang Qiuye still wants to use the Li family's severance pay to compete with Zhang Juexia. Isn't this a joke?
