A clear and pleasant voice rang out from a viewing pavilion somewhere.
The maid in green bowed her head and bent over respectfully, describing the scene vividly to Cheng Xianyi: "Miss, what I said is absolutely true! Young Master Zhou really said that."
"Then Miss Lin stormed into the General's Mansion, crying and telling Young Master Zhou that she would stop making trouble and agreed to marry him."
"Young Master Zhou's expression didn't change at all. He just burst into laughter and said, 'Lin Jiaoyun, do you really think I'll stand here forever waiting for you to turn back? This young master doesn't even look at you anymore!'"
As the maid in green spoke, she observed Cheng Xianyi's expression.
Seeing Cheng Xianyi's lips slightly upturned, then suppressed, and then unable to control herself.
He was clearly overjoyed, but he still had to pretend to be reserved and aloof.
She raised her beautiful eyes with pleasure, glancing approvingly at the maid in blue, and said, "He really said he doesn't like Miss Lin? Hmm, you're right. Steward, give him ten taels of silver."
The Cheng family butler's lips twitched: "..."
"Thank you so much, Miss!" The maid in green quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
She was a first-class maidservant by the young lady's side.
Two taels of silver each month.
These ten taels are equivalent to half a year's monthly allowance for her!
Seeing this, the pink-clad maidservant beside her rolled her eyes and quickly whispered, "Miss, I've heard some details, but I don't know if I should say them."
"Speak." Cheng Xianyi nodded her slender, jade-like fingers on the table and spoke softly.
The maid in pink bent down and pondered for a moment before saying, "When I heard that Young Master Zhou said he didn't like Miss Lin, Miss Lin cried and made a scene, asking why. This must be a lie to her, it's fake."
"Young Master Zhou then said, 'Lie to you? Take a look in the mirror at your flat features.'"
“Miss, you are more beautiful and more talented than her, so he will naturally choose you.”
Cheng Xianyi's eyes brightened slightly, as if sparks had been ignited within them.
She immediately turned to look at the maid in pink: "Does he really think so?"
"Miss, I swear, every word I say is true!"
"Reward her! Steward, reward her with twenty taels of silver!"
The pink-clad maidservant exclaimed excitedly, "!!!"
The butler looked utterly astonished: "......."
Upon seeing this, the maid in white immediately pushed aside the maid in pink and chimed in with flattery: "Young Master Zhou also said that you, Miss, surpass Miss Lin in every way, and that you were just playing around with Miss Lin before."
"You're absolutely right, Steward! Reward her with thirty taels!"
The housekeeper was devastated.
He moved his lips, but finally swallowed his pride, pushed aside the white-clad maid, coughed lightly, and flattered Cheng Xianyi, saying, "Miss, this old servant has also heard recently that young master Zhou... cough."
"Miss Lin insulted you, and Mr. Zhou slapped her three times after hearing it. He also declared that you are his fiancée and that he would not tolerate you uttering another word against you."
"He then beat Miss Lin to death!"
Cheng Xianyi couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and she immediately raised her hand: "Steward, reward, reward fifty taels!"
"Young Master Zhou, he..."
"reward!"
"Young Master Zhou..."
"You should also receive a reward!"
"Reward them all!"
The entire scene that unfolded in the attic was witnessed by Zhou Cheng and Cheng's father.
Mr. Cheng's lips twitched violently. He desperately wanted to rush over and tell his daughter to control herself. Where was her rationality? Where was her intelligence? Why did it all disappear when she was around that brat Zhou Cheng?
In just a short while, she had spent several hundred taels of silver!
These servants are really something. They're usually so quiet, but when it comes to this, they can't even keep up a single compliment. And how come this upright and honest steward has lost all sense of shame?
“Zhou Cheng, look at this, look at this…” Father Cheng’s face turned ashen.
