Because of her original body's memories, Lianyi entered the Dong Mansion from the back door with ease, and then returned smoothly to Miss Dong Er's courtyard.
Nanny Dong was the confidant of Miss Dong Er. It was she who persuaded the original body to become a maid in the chamber, so when she saw Lianyi coming back, she smiled kindly and asked:
"Lianyi girl, is everything okay on this trip back home?"
"Thanks to the young lady and the nanny, my family is doing well. My brother is strong again and can even call me sister. He is so cute."
Lianyi bowed first, then said with a smile.
"That's good. Don't worry, as long as the young lady is here, she will definitely take good care of your family."
Nanny Dong also smiled and asked:
"Have you told your family about your job as a maid?"
"I told you, my parents are reluctant to let me go, but I have convinced them. I came back this time to give my young lady a reply."
"The young lady has been talking about you these past two days! She said that she is a little uncomfortable with you not being around."
"I miss you too! My parents asked me to kowtow to you on their behalf to thank you for taking care of me."
Lianyi also followed the other party's words.
Then the two of them entered the boudoir of Miss Dong Er, Dong Qinglian.
Dong Qinglian had just finished breakfast and was embroidering. When she saw Lianyi coming in, she smiled and said:
"Ripple, you're back!"
"Miss, be safe! I am back."
Lianyi imitated her original body and bowed politely.
"Hurry up and get up. No need to be polite in front of me."
Then Dong Qinglian asked Lianyi what she had done in the past three days when she returned home, and whether there was anything new, just as if she was listening to a story.
Miss Dong Er is already sixteen years old. Because she has been pampered since childhood and has had the best food and clothing, she has a curvy figure and a unique girlish charm. Her skin is especially well maintained. It is so white and tender that you could pinch water out of it, which adds a bit of beauty to her ordinary appearance.
Dong Qinglian has a standard oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, a pair of narrow eyes with upturned eye corners. She looks a bit sharp when she is not smiling, with a round nose and thin lips. Her facial features are all good when taken individually, but they look a bit plain when combined together. If it were not for her clothes and temperament, she would be easily lost in the crowd. This is why she tried her best to keep her original self by her side.
Although her original body was of ordinary origin, she was the president, especially after being well-raised, and her beauty was even better than that of the master, Miss Dong Er.
Miss Dong asked a lot of questions and finally got to the question that concerned her the most. In fact, when her trusted nanny came in and nodded to her, she knew that the matter was settled, so she asked about other things slowly, indicating that she was not in a hurry and it was Lianyi who needed to seize the opportunity.
"Miss, I went back and told my parents about this, but they were worried that I was too young to do anything and that I would get into trouble with you. It was only after I gave them repeated assurances that they agreed.
But my parents don't want me to sell myself into slavery. After all, our family is not so poor that we can't even afford to eat. If I do this, the villagers will criticize me. So they beg the young lady to show mercy and sign a living contract. At least I can go back to see them after I have some time off."
After Lianyi finished speaking, she bowed solemnly and lowered her head embarrassedly.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Dong Qinglian's eyes, but she did not lose her temper. Instead, she looked at Nanny Dong.
After Nanny Dong nodded and said it was okay, Miss Dong Er spoke:
"I appreciate your parents' love for their daughter. I am also a daughter, so I naturally understand their thoughts. Well, I will do as your parents say and sign the contract. Anyway, I have always treated you as my sister and will never treat you unfairly."
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I thank you on behalf of my parents!"
Lianyi immediately smiled and thanked him.
"You are so sweet-talking. You made the young lady so happy as soon as you came back. It's hard for the young lady to marry you. Go change your clothes first and then come back to work."
Nanny Dong said with a loving smile.
Lianyi then left Miss Dong Er's boudoir and went to the courtyard where the maid lived. She slowly changed into a lilac-colored short-sleeved top and long skirt, put a pink pearl flower in her hair, put her old clothes into the closet, and then slowly walked to the front yard.
After Lianyi left, Nanny Dong approached Dong Qinglian and said in a low voice:
"Miss, it doesn't matter whether she signs the living contract or not. Once she leaves Wangshan Town, whether she is a maid or a servant is up to you! Her father and mother will not go to Kyoto with her."
"I understand. I'm not worried about these things. I'm just afraid that she might have other intentions."
"Don't worry, young lady. You still have a year before you get married. We will train her well and let her get used to a life of luxury. Even if you chase her away in the future, she will not be willing to leave this rich nest."
Nanny Dong is very confident about this.
"Hey! After all, she saved me, and I hope she can get better."
Dong Qinglian said hypocritically.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely make her obey you."
"Is this really the only way I can get through this calamity in my life?"
Dong Qinglian said sadly.
"Miss, the master's prediction of fate is not wrong, and the method I asked for will definitely be effective. If we prepare early, we will definitely be able to survive this disaster."
"The master said that I was destined to have only one daughter. If I couldn't give birth to a son, I would lose my position as the legal wife."
This is what she cares most about.
"I took a fortune teller to look at Lianyi girl. She said that Lianyi girl is destined to give birth to a son. She will definitely be able to help Miss."
"Humph! She's just a lowly girl. So what if she can give birth to a son? It depends on whether she has the life to raise him."
Dong Qinglian said in a cold voice.
"Miss, don't worry. I have arranged everything. With her face and figure, she will definitely be able to win over the son-in-law. When everything is settled, we will go directly to the mother to keep the child. The mother of the child can only be Miss."
Nanny Dong lowered her voice even more.
As if thinking of the beautiful future, Dong Qinglian's smile deepened a little, and then she said to the nanny:
"Mammy, please take great pains to get her body into the best condition. It would be best if she could get pregnant at the same time as me."
"I obey your orders, young lady, just prepare for your marriage!"
After the two finished talking about Lianyi, they chatted about the dowry, and Lianyi went to serve Miss Dong Er.
It was said that Lianyi would serve her personally, but in fact, she didn't care about clothes or jewelry, and she didn't have to worry about breakfast. She just served tea and water. However, her food was better than the other three maids, and even almost the same as Miss Dong Er's. This made the other maids envious and jealous, but they dared not show it.
After Lianyi entered the Dong Mansion, she replaced her nightly rest with meditation, absorbing as much of the scattered spiritual light spots in the air as possible. She felt that only when she became stronger could she do more things.
The weather was gloomy from the morning of that day, and it started raining just after Miss Dong Er had breakfast.
