The servant was a smart man. He knew that with Bei Yutang's appearance, her master would definitely take a fancy to her and it would only be a matter of time before she was favored. If he gave her a favor now, it would also make her remember his kindness.
Bei Yutang naturally understood the servant's intention and gave him a tactful smile of gratitude.
The servant was very satisfied when he saw this.
The five people followed the servant into the courtyard. Along the way, the pavilions, towers and exquisite attics in the mansion made their eyes shine, and their faces were filled with excitement.
On the way, they met many maids and servants doing odd jobs. These people glanced at them with contempt, but when they saw Bei Yutang, they were all stunned.
After they left, several maids and servants gathered together and whispered.
"That slave girl is so pretty." One of the servants said with an obsessed look on his face.
The maidservant beside her snorted disdainfully, "What's the point of being pretty? You're just a lowly slave."
Although they were servants and slaves, they were good citizens, and their rank was more than one level higher than that of slaves like Bei Yutang.
"Although she is a slave, with her looks, she might become the nineteenth concubine." The male servant chuckled, as if he didn't care about her slave status at all, but only cared about her beautiful face.
Another maid also echoed, "That's true. Just like our Ninth Concubine, she went from being a lowly slave to becoming a concubine."
The mocking maid was silenced.
Bei Yutang was completely unaware of the servants' gossip about her. They followed the servant into a small courtyard with many rooms. Inside, several women with the word "slave" branded on their foreheads were sweeping the floor.
When the two men saw the servant, they immediately put down their work and stepped forward respectfully to pay their respects.
The servant said to the two people, "These five people will live here from now on. You guys take care of them. Remember to take them to take a shower and change into clean clothes." When he said this, the servant frowned and looked at them with disgust.
The two men nodded in agreement quickly. After the servant finished his instructions, he turned and left.
As soon as the servant left, the two maids looked at Bei Yutang and the other three. When they saw Bei Yutang's appearance, their eyes changed obviously, and a hint of jealousy flashed in their eyes.
For lowly female slaves like them, the only way to completely change their fate was to become a concubine of a powerful man and escape slavery. The first step to becoming a concubine was to have a beautiful face that could attract the master's attention.
They are better looking than the average good-civilian women, so they can stay safely in the mansion and do heavy work. However, even if they are better looking than ordinary people, they cannot catch the eyes of the masters and young masters.
In fact, every year, many female slaves dream of climbing into the beds of masters and gentlemen. Often, when the gentlemen are in the mood, they will have a brief affair with you. The next day, they will treat you as a slave again, or even drag you down and beat you to death.
Even so, there are still many female slaves who want to escape from slavery and become good citizens through this method.
This is why these two female slaves are jealous of Bei Yutang.
"You guys follow me." One of them said to them and walked forward.
Bei Yutang and the others followed her lead. The slave girl pushed open one of the rooms. The room was large, divided into two sides, each with eight beds. She pointed to the empty bed on the right and said, "You guys sleep here."
