Xiao Jingyun was busy reporting to his new department and had no time to stay any longer, so he left quickly.
Cheng Hongsui and a group of maids were left behind, nervously facing Xiao Cunyu, the seventh young master.
Cheng Hongsui was fine. Knowing that Xiao Qi had not eaten, she immediately asked someone to prepare food. However, the group of maids were obviously not so calm. Xiao Cunyu glanced over and found that among the four big maids, two of them blushed and one even winked at her?
This maid is not very good!
"Seventh Young Master, have some tea." After a while, the maid with charming eyes came over to pour her tea. Her voice was trembling, like the little willow leaves falling on the lake in spring. She was definitely trying to seduce her.
Cheng Hongsui glanced at the maid, feeling slightly displeased.
Although the Xiao family had an unwritten rule not to take concubines, it wasn't written in the family rules. When she married into the family, it was inevitable that they would arrange a few good-looking maids around her. If her husband needed them...
Cheng Hongsui was also helpless. Although she had prepared maids, she was not willing to do so in her heart. So far, she had no special attitude towards these maids and had not revealed any intention in this regard.
She "selfishly" thought that if her husband took another concubine in the future and had such a request, it would not be too late for her to make arrangements.
"When I first came to Beijing, my aunt was afraid that I would cause trouble outside, so she arranged a few maids for me." Xiao Cunyu mentioned this as if unintentionally.
At that time, she had not yet adapted to life in the capital. Her aunt wanted to give her a servant, but she was afraid of exposing her female identity, so she refused.
The aunt thought that she wanted a girl of color, so she got a few more maids.
Cheng Hongsui was stunned for a moment.
I thought Xiao Cunyu wanted her maid, but this is not in accordance with etiquette...
"But later, those maids were carried out of my yard." Xiao Cunyu added.
The maid with charming eyes was startled for a moment, then became nervous.
"They're so timid." Xiao Cunyu muttered, "Sister-in-law has heard about it too, right? About the maid?"
Xiao Cunyu had been back in Beijing for a long time, so Cheng Hongsui had almost forgotten the past rumors about him. Xiao Cunyu's reputation was better now than before, so no one would remember the ridiculous things that happened earlier. Now that she brought it up, Cheng Hongsui's memories began to return...
"Is it...about the maid being scared to death?" Cheng Hongsui asked tentatively.
"That's right." Xiao Cunyu grinned, "That's the truth. This is my ability."
"..." The corners of Cheng Hongsui's mouth twitched, and then she glanced at her maid, and probably understood why Xiao Cunyu said such a thing.
Sure enough, the maid took a step back without leaving a trace and no longer thought that Xiao Qi was a good candidate.
Cheng Hongsui believed that her seventh brother was a good person, so she didn't believe these rumors.
But it would be good if it could make the maids around him focus on their work.
"I think the maidservant beside my sister-in-law is pretty good. I always have to dig up corpses or chant spells or draw talismans, and I don't have a meticulous helper around me. Why don't you give this maidservant to me? Then I don't have to dress the corpses myself in the future. That's great." Xiao Cunyu looked serious, and seemed very satisfied with the maidservant who winked at him.
When the maid heard this, she knelt down immediately: "Auntie, Auntie... No, Madam, I want to follow you..."
"Who are you different from? As long as you stay in our Xiao family, you are mine." Xiao Cunyu smiled, "There's nothing scary about a corpse. I see you're growing well, so you'd be a good choice to calm your soul..."
