"This maid..." Gu Ting was a little moved.
"Brother, this maid is so pretty, I like her. Why don't you give her to me? I just happen to be short of a maid in my room. It's enough for you to have a servant around. You have such a bad temper, a little maid can't handle it."
Gu Jiu curved his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yan with a smile.
Just now, when Xie said she wanted to give Jiang Yan to her brother, Jiang Yan looked calm and not excited at all.
It seems that it doesn't matter to her to serve anyone
Gu Jiu felt that this person was interesting.
This girl wants to marry into a rich family, but she is different from other maids who want to marry into a rich family.
Just looking at the expression on my brother's face, he was obviously attracted by Jiang Yan's appearance.
"Isn't my brother happy?"
Gu Jiu asked weakly.
Gu Ting quickly said, "How can I not be happy? If you want it, just take it."
Xie raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Jiu meaningfully.
"Second girl, I specially reserved this maid for Sanlang. It's not appropriate for you, as a younger sister, to compete with your own brother for a maid."
Xie's tone was very harsh, and she almost pointed at Gu Jiu's nose and cursed: You stupid girl, you ruin my good things all day long, do you really think I can't deal with you?
Gu Jiu lowered his eyebrows, his expression weak. "Madam, you are right. I shouldn't have competed with my brother for this girl. But I really like this maid. She is so pretty. It would be so prestigious to take her out. Madam, you don't know that I like pretty people the most."
Phew!
Gu Yue laughed out loud, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
Xie snorted lightly, "Second girl, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your idea is too selfish. Sanlang hasn't even had a decent maid for all these years. How shameful."
If the news got out, people would think I was mistreating Sanlang. Little did they know that I was really worried about Sanlang.
This time, I've encountered a maid with decent looks, but you're trying to snatch her away from your own brother. You're really willful."
Gu Jiu looked aggrieved. "But, there are so many maids here. I think it's okay to pick two smart ones to serve my brother."
"presumptuous!"
Xie placed the teacup heavily on the table, making a loud bang that startled everyone in the room.
She frowned and angrily scolded, "Second girl, where did you learn the rules? Is this what Madam taught you?"
Gu Jiu lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. She felt wronged, helpless, and sad.
She didn't defend herself, nor did she contradict Mrs. Xie. However, her silent crying was the most endearing.
Xie was furious. "Gu Jiu, you bitch, you only know how to do this. It's as if I have wronged you."
Seeing his sister crying, Gu Ting felt very distressed.
"Don't cry, sister. No one is competing with you for the maid. Madam, I don't want this maid. I don't like maids serving me, and I don't need a maid around me.
I have a bad temper and I can't stand delicate maids. I'm annoyed by them.
"Madam, I appreciate your kindness. However, from now on, please don't worry about my affairs in my room, and don't send any maids to my room. If they come, I will send them away."
Xie was so angry that her heart ached. She pointed at Gu Ting and said, "You, you..."
Xie wanted to say that Gu Ting was such a stubborn person. He clearly had feelings for the maid, but when Gu Jiu started crying, he forgot everything.
Gu Jiu is Gu Ting’s weak spot.
Xie glared at Gu Jiu fiercely. "Little girl, you used to pretend to be stupid and naive, but now your true colors have been revealed."
Xie was furious and said in a heavy tone, "I meant well, but you and your sister don't appreciate it. It's so hard for me as a mother.
They say being a stepmother is difficult, and it's true. I'm good to you, but you say I'm worrying about nothing. If I neglect you even a little, you cry and hang yourself. Why is it so difficult for me?
After saying that, Xie picked up a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, looking heartbroken.
Gu Yue wanted to stand up for Xie, but unexpectedly Gu Jiu burst into tears, shocking everyone in the room.
Gu Yue's hands trembled, feeling very unhappy.
Xie's heart trembled. This damn girl cried so loudly.
"Madam, I was wrong. Please punish me. I won't compete with my brother for someone else. Please give the maid to my brother. I don't want her anymore."
After saying that, Gu Jiu pretended to kneel down to Xie.
Of course, it is impossible for him to really kneel down. Gu Jiu will never kneel down to Xie.
Gu Jiu was just making a gesture.
Xie had said so much, it was not appropriate for Gu Ji to continue to snatch the person openly. The best way was to retreat in order to advance.
With Gu Yue as the troublemaker, there is no need to worry about the Xie family not compromising.
Seeing Gu Jiu about to kneel down, Xie felt secretly happy.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ting supported Gu Jiu and said, "Sister, you are weak and the ground is cold, how can you kneel down? Madam, if you want to punish me, punish me. But I still say that I don't want this maid."
Gu Jiu smiled in her heart, she knew that her brother was still very helpful at the critical moment.
Then Gu Jiu stood up and sat back in his chair.
Xie felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help but let it out.
The human trafficker was so anxious that he almost cried when he saw this scene.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he hurriedly whispered to Mrs. Xie, "Madam, please allow me to inform you that this girl is Jiang Yan. She signed a living contract and refused to sign a life-long contract. Moreover, she is asking for a high price in silver."
Xie frowned.
Gu Yue secretly tugged at Xie's sleeve and muttered, "Mother, just give that maid to Second Sister. When Second Sister gets married, she'll be her dowry maid.
Didn’t the second sister say she liked pretty maids? This is exactly what she wants, to be the concubine of her future brother-in-law.”
Xie said nothing.
Gu Shan also said: "Mother, with things getting this bad, we can only drive that maid away, or assign her to Second Sister."
"It's better to point it to my second sister." Gu Yue smiled secretly.
Mrs. Xie nodded and agreed with her two daughters' suggestions.
Gu Yue smiled complacently.
Xie looked at Gu Ting and said, "Sanlang, you really don't want a maid to serve you?"
Gu Ting nodded heavily. "Maids are very troublesome. I have a servant in my room to serve me. I don't need maids to serve me."
Xie sighed softly, revealing a hint of helplessness and sadness. "Sanlang, I've been so worried about you. Do you understand?"
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
Xie waved her hand and said, "Forget it. You don't want it, but the second girl insists on it. Why should I be the bad guy?"
Then she pointed at Jiang Yan and said, "You, go to the Second Young Lady. From now on, serve her well."
call!
Jiang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Madam!"
He kowtowed, stood up, and walked to stand behind Gu Jiu.
Qingmei, Qingzhu, and Xiaocui all looked at her. She had a foxy face, and because of her, she made such a fuss, she couldn't understand why the girl insisted on having her.
Is he afraid that she will seduce the Third Young Master?
Gu Jiu sobbed and bowed slightly, "Thank you, ma'am."
Gu Ting imitated Gu Jiu and bowed, "Thank you, Madam."
Xie said, "I hope you brothers and sisters can understand my painstaking efforts."
Gu Jiu wiped away her tears and said, "I was too willful before. Madam didn't punish me and gave me this maid. I am very grateful in my heart."
Xie raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It's good that you know how to be grateful."
Then he waved his hand and asked the trafficker to take the remaining people to the accounting office to settle the bill.
The maid Chuncao walked in from outside and said, "Madam, the second master of the Xie family and the cousin have arrived."
Xie was surprised and asked, "When did it arrive?"
"I just arrived a while ago, and the master is entertaining guests. Besides..." Chuncao hesitated.
Xie noticed, "What else is there? Tell me all about it."
"Young Master Su is here too. I heard he met Second Master Xie at the city gate, and since they knew they were relatives, they came together."
After saying that, Chuncao lowered her head hastily, looking a little nervous.
Gu Jiu and Gu Ting looked at each other.
The cousin of the Su family is just my uncle’s brother. How could he come to my house so suddenly without even receiving a letter in advance?
Could something have happened?
