Chapter 336: Substitute
She still remembered that Shao Rong said he had no manners, and as a servant, he dared to speak so harshly in front of his master.
If it were any other wealthy family, she would have been beaten to death long ago.
Lu Qin thought about it carefully and realized that not all masters were as tolerant as Xu Zhou.
When he was blind in front of Mrs. Xu, he naturally didn't dare to continue to respond with "you, my".
Mrs. Xu laughed twice.
"You're such a simple child. How could I not know that you were serving in the young master's room? When I say serving in the room, I mean I want to give you a future."
"You are such a beautiful child. It is really unfair for you to be a maid. From today on, you will serve in the young master's room. Even if the concubine gives you her share, she will also assign two maids to serve you."
Lu Qin's face suddenly changed and she was completely stunned.
She immediately knelt on the ground and shook her head fiercely at Madam Xu, "Madam, this servant has absolutely no such intention!"
"Master, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I only want to do my duty well and never think of anything else!"
"Madam, please take back your order!"
The first thing that came to Lu Qin's mind was not that Madam Xu wanted to marry her to Xu Zhou as a concubine because she was pretty.
When she went out to sea with her parents, she had heard people at sea talk about many things that happened in the wealthy families.
It was just that there were a few poor girls who, because they served in the young master's room and looked better, were suspected of being vixen who were deliberately trying to seduce good men.
So he drove the man out of the house.
In today's world, a woman's statement is of utmost importance. Once they are branded as vixens and driven out, what future do they have? What awaits them is either having their hair cut off to become nuns or being severely beaten by their families.
What's more, there will be a white silk waiting for them.
Lu Qin didn't know if she had done something wrong to anger her superiors, but she cherished her life and didn't care whether Madam Xu really wanted to force her to be Xu Zhou's concubine. At this moment, she just knelt on the ground, kowtowing continuously to beg Madam Xu to take back her decision.
Mrs. Xu's expression gradually turned ugly.
"You, a maid, actually still take advantage of Qiao. How come you are so arrogant that you think my son is not worthy of a maid like you?"
Lu Qin: “…”
Lu Qin was dumbfounded, her face as pale as a ghost, and she had no idea what Mrs. Xu was up to.
She came over in good health, looked at her face, and said that she was a well-behaved child, and wanted to give her to Xu Zhou as a concubine.
But she always paid attention to the proper manners when interacting with Xu Zhou, and would never dare to overstep the line.
Take what Shao Rong said, she had no manners and dared to speak to her master like "you" and "me". She was not an exception. All the maids and servants in this mansion spoke to Xu Zhou like this in front of him.
She really didn't know how she had offended Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu's eyes were cold and indifferent, and she looked at her as if she were looking at a dead person. "Since you have already entered our Xu family, then you will be a member of our Xu family in life and a ghost of our Xu family in death."
"I asked you to serve the young master. That is your blessing. If you really don't want to, then end your life with a white silk thread."
Lu Qin's face turned pale, her voice trembled, and her whole body began to shake. Didn't she have any other choice but to be a concubine? Was it either being a concubine or death?
Mrs. Xu seemed to have given her the right to choose, but it was clear that her only option was to become a concubine.
Lu Qin's eyes reddened, and she choked with sobs as she spoke, "To answer Madam, it's not that I'm unwilling, but a man like the Young Master is like the bright moon in the sky. How can I be worthy of him? I'm afraid that the Young Master will be unhappy, and Madam's good intentions will be in vain."
"The young master is my benefactor, and I don't want to defile him."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu chuckled, her cloudy eyes darting back and forth across his face. She twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and said with her eyes closed, "How could you be unworthy?"
"You have this face, you deserve any man in the world."
"Don't worry, the young master won't be unwilling. I am his biological mother, and I know what he is thinking best. You just need to pack up and go over to serve him."
Men are all like this.
Since I can’t get the bright moon in my heart, I want to find someone who is somewhat similar to the bright moon to comfort myself.
My son is also a man and will not be an exception.
Madam Xu raised her hand and asked someone to help Lu Qin wash and dress.
Before Lu Qin could react, she had inexplicably become Xu Zhou's roommate and his concubine.
When Xu Zhou returned in the evening, Lu Qin knelt on the ground and pleaded with him in fear and trepidation, "Master, please spare my life. I never thought things would turn out like this."
If she had known this earlier, she would not have knelt on the ground and asked Xu Zhou to save her life.
She originally wanted to repay a favor, but she didn't expect things to develop like this. It didn't seem like repaying a favor, but rather like revenge.
For some inexplicable reason, she became the concubine of such a good man like Xu Zhou. This is clearly repaying kindness with enmity!
Xu Zhou looked at her deeply for a long time, then reached out and pulled her up.
Lu Qin was stunned and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Xu Zhou held her hand even tighter and stared at her face closely.
"You don't have to beg me for mercy."
"You're a good person, but you're also from a good family. You became my aunt for no apparent reason. It's really unfair to you."
Lu Qin: “?”
Lu Qin really didn't expect that even though someone was inexplicably stuffed into his room, he could still comfort himself in return.
For a moment, she really didn't know how to respond.
Xu Zhou shook his head, put his hand on her shoulder, and glanced at the layout of the room again.
His eyes were deep and gentle as he kept looking at Lu Qin, and his voice was inexplicably magnetic.
"It's late at night, let's get settled early."
