Chapter 129 Becoming a Maid
Xiaoqian walked in with her head held high, giving Lin Yuesha a look that said, "You're dead."
Lin Yuesha thought to herself, "This is bad. Could things be developing in an unpredictable direction?" That's right, Xuan Yao, even in her dying moments, would try to drag someone down with her.
There wasn't any deep-seated grudge between the two, but she was really unlucky to get caught up in this mess!
It's all that troublesome older brother's fault for flirting with other women and dragging this innocent girl down with him!
"Miss Xiao, please come with me."
Granny Xiao tried her best to speak kindly to reassure the little girl.
The little girl is the victim in this matter, and the prince should not take his anger out on her. As her wet nurse, her words carry some weight. The little girl should be safe and sound, though she may suffer a little.
That Miss Xuan probably doesn't know, but none of the prince's concubines live for more than a month. After a month, they're wrapped in straw mats and thrown out of the back gate of the prince's mansion into a mass grave. Does she really think she's become a noblewoman and is so proud of herself? Who knows who will have the last laugh?
"Granny Xiao, my surname is Lin. Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
Lin Yuesha struggled desperately; she didn't want to go.
"You're talking nonsense, you're lying! You're Scholar Xiao's sister, how could you possibly have the surname Lin?"
Xiaoqian screamed in disbelief, exposing Lin Yuesha's lie.
“Granny Xiao, my surname is really Lin. The scholar Xiao that Xiaoqian mentioned is my stepbrother.”
The two people don't have the same father, isn't it normal for them to have different surnames? Whose fault is it if you didn't find out properly?
Xiaoqian's face turned red and then green. She was wondering why the man wasn't taking the bait. It turned out that Xiao Xiucai's sister was actually surnamed Lin, not Xiao. She and her mistress had made a big misunderstanding!
"Granny Xiao, this is my sister. Could you please make an exception for her?"
Jiang Baozhu took out a silver note and secretly slipped it into Xiao Mama's hand, hoping that the other party would say a few good words for Lin Yuesha because of the money.
Zhang Qing'er was even more anxious, but the other party was the Prince of Zhenbei, so even if her father were there, she wouldn't be able to say anything.
"Don't worry, His Highness only wants to ask Miss Lin a few questions."
Granny Xiao nodded and let Lin Yuesha follow her.
Now that things have come to this, Lin Yuesha has come to terms with it and is no longer afraid. It wasn't her fault!
Upon arriving at the Prince of Zhenbei's room, Xiao Su had no intention of seeing anyone and said to Granny Xiao, "Since it was caused by this girl, let her stay in the Prince's mansion to do odd jobs."
“But Your Highness, Miss Lin comes from a respectable family and has a clean background.”
Granny Xiao gritted her teeth and spoke up for Lin Yuesha.
The person who set the trap became the prince's bedmate, while those who were framed but didn't fall for it became the unlucky ones. This seems unfair.
“There’s no need to sign a contract for a girl from a good family. Just send her to Xuan Yao’s place as a maid so she can get revenge for her.”
The Prince of Zhenbei didn't even raise his head. He admired Xuan Yao's ruthlessness and shamelessness, so he would grant her wish for the time being.
As for Xuan Yao's maid Xiao Qian, she betrayed her master for personal gain, so let's just throw her to the guards for some fun!
"Your Highness, this servant..."
Xiaoqian wanted to defend herself, but several guards had already dragged her away. The prince ate meat, and they drank soup. However, this maid was quite flirtatious and probably wasn't the original.
Despite their differing tastes from the prince's—the more frivolous the better, the less likely they were to actually touch a tender, hairless girl—they simply couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Lin Yuesha was stunned. The Prince of Zhenbei just said it casually, and she became Xuan Yao's maid? No way!
"Miss Lin, don't worry, there's no contract yet, it's all temporary."
Granny Xiao knew the prince well. Once he got tired of Xuan Yao, he would naturally forget about Lin Yuesha. At that time, she would secretly let her go.
Granny Xiao was worried that Lin Yuesha would be frightened, so she specially offered words of comfort.
"Granny Xiao, thank you. Yue Sha is grateful for your kindness."
Lin Yuesha thanked her. She could sense that Granny Xiao seemed to value her somewhat, but she didn't know why.
Since Granny Xiao said it was alright, she would be safer staying by Xuan Yao's side; at most, she would just be made to suffer.
Xuan Yao, that idiot, doesn't even deserve to play mind games with her.
"Granny, my little sisters are still in the side room. They must be very worried about me, so I want to go back and talk to them."
If she couldn't go home after going down the mountain, she would have to tell her parents. Lin Yuesha wanted to put her parents at ease, saying that since she was already there, she should make the best of it and that her situation wouldn't be too bad.
"Go, and let Hearts follow you."
If it were anyone else, Granny Xiao would definitely ignore it, but Lin Yuesha is different.
Thinking of her tragically deceased granddaughter, Granny Xiao sighed. "People are bound by fate. Who would have thought that she would soften her heart for a little girl when she was almost at the end of her life?"
With the situation settled, Lin Yuesha returned to her room.
"Sister Yue Sha, have you explained things clearly?"
As soon as Jiang Baozhu asked the question, she saw the maids from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion following behind Lin Yuesha, and her face suddenly turned pale, and she took a few steps back.
"You all need to speak quickly, I'll go stand guard outside the door."
Hongtao was perceptive and noticed that Granny Xiao treated Lin Yuesha differently. She deliberately tried to be nice by waiting outside the door, leaving the others alone.
To make a long story short...
Lin Yuesha sighed, feeling both amused and exasperated, unsure where to begin.
After briefly recounting what had happened, Zhang Qing'er and Jiang Baozhu stared wide-eyed, their jaws dropping in astonishment.
"So you're going to become that idiot Xuan Yao's maid?"
Zhang Qing'er is going crazy. Does Xuan Yao think that a concubine is also a noble person? She's not favored and her status is even lower than that of a maid!
“There was no contract; it was just the prince punishing me, so…”
Lin Yuesha winked. Hongtao stood outside the door; even if they were to complain, they had to do it in private.
"Moonlight Maiden, what should we do?"
Jiang Baozhu was about to faint. She felt dizzy and the world was spinning. She hated Xuan Yao, that scourge, to the core.
Xiaoqian has been punished. Next, it should be Xuanyao. She will burn incense and curse her every day, even if it shortens her lifespan!
"I have two favors to ask of Sister Qing'er and Sister Baozhu."
The first thing is that Lin Yuesha's makeup must not give her away, so if she wants Zhang Qing'er's box, she needs rouge and face powder.
The second thing was that Lin Yuesha took out a ghost-repelling talisman from her pocket and hoped that Jiang Baozhu would go home and give the talisman to her parents.
"Then how am I supposed to explain this to my uncle and aunt?"
Jiang Baozhu wanted to lie, but couldn't find a reason, because she wasn't sure how long Lin Yuesha would be kept.
“It’s okay. Find an opportunity to tell my father the truth, but keep it from my mother. My father is a capable man. As for my mother, tell her not to worry. Just say that I’m going to be a cook.”
Lin Yuesha couldn't let go of her mother, Chen Shi. Chen Shi was soft-hearted, and if she found out, she wouldn't be able to sleep all night again.
Thankfully, my older brother came home soon. With someone to rely on at home, things should be better.
When she arrived at the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, Lin Yuesha would try her best to send a letter home to let her know she was safe. She firmly believed that with her easygoing nature, she could live well anywhere.
