269 ​​Good intentions, living under the eyes of others

Cough cough, Feng Qingchen was frightened by his own thought, choked and half died, his face red as fire.

Oh my God, what's wrong with her lately? She thinks about these nonsense all day long. Spring has passed for so long, but she is still here being obsessed with love.

It must be the Ninth Uncle!

It was all the fault of the Ninth Prince. He had teased her like that in the carriage and made her feel dizzy for a long time. Thinking of the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen's cough became more and more severe and she almost had a stitch in the side.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, come on, drink some water."

The maids sent by the Wang family were all well-trained. Seeing Feng Qingchen like this, they did not swarm over to her. Only the two closest to her, one poured her tea, and the other helped her to calm down.

The two maids' actions were natural and sincere, and they completely treated Feng Qingchen as their master.

Feng Qingchen felt all kinds of emotions in her heart, alas...how could she repay Wang Jinling for what she owed? Of course Feng Qingchen knew better that if she went to repay, it would probably hurt Wang Jinling completely.

After drinking the water, Feng Qingchen coughed twice. He was fine now. He waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to drink anymore. "Change my clothes for me."

Feng Qingchen had no intention of doing it herself, so she just swung her arms and left everything to the maids.

During her illness, all affairs were taken care of by the maid, and she gradually got used to someone preparing everything for her life.

These chores have already been done by others, so why do them yourself? It's such a waste of time.

As for singing the praises of human rights, being friends with maids, and putting them on an equal footing with herself, Feng Qingchen would never do such a thing.

She is not that idiot like Li Xiang. How can she talk about human rights and equality in a place like this?

She talked about human rights with the maids and asked them to become sworn brothers with her, but the maids only thought that she was giving alms and sympathizing with them and would never treat her sincerely.

The classes are clearly divided, and identity is an unbridgeable gap that cannot be changed by just one word from her. Besides, she treats the maids as sisters. If she talks about human rights with them, who will do the chores such as boiling water, cooking, and cleaning?

She wouldn't say to someone, "So-and-so, I treat you as a friend," while at the same time ordering them around to do things and treating them like a servant.

When I was in school, I often heard my junior schoolmates talk about the time-travel novels they had read. The heroines in the books always liked to talk about human rights with the maids, treated their personal maids as sisters, and had their heart open with them, but the result was often that the maids betrayed her.

The schoolgirl kept criticizing the maid for being so hateful and taking the heroine's kindness for granted, but Feng Qingchen just thought it was normal.

Maids also have pride and dignity. If you, a rich lady, suddenly want to call a maid sister, people will only think that you have some conspiracy or are giving her alms.

Moreover, you are just calling her a sister verbally and giving her some small favors, which does not fundamentally change her status and identity.

It's like when the Ninth Prince said to her, "Feng Qingchen, I treat you as my sister."

However, as her "sister", she has to kneel down when she sees the Ninth Prince. Can she feel balanced if this happens so many times?

Since she is the younger sister, why is the other party the high and mighty imperial uncle, while she is just a daughter of a marquis and cannot be a princess or a county lady?

Besides, she treated the maids as sisters, would the queen and the concubine treat her as a sister? No...

Since others don't talk to her about human rights, why should she talk to others about human rights? This is bullshit.

When Feng Qingchen was thinking about that idiot Li Xiang, the maid had already changed her clothes, helped her to the dressing table, and combed her hair into a bun.

The maid of the Wang family was very skillful. She combed Feng Qingchen's long hair flat in just a few strokes, and with a light hook of her fingers, a Lingyun bun was formed.

"Young lady's hair is thick and smooth. She doesn't even need a wig when she wears it in a bun." The maid praised and took out a golden hairpin from the jewelry box and inserted it into the bun. There was a shining ruby ​​in the middle of the golden hairpin, which made Feng Qingchen look even more radiant.

"When did I get something like this?" Feng Qingchen knew that he only had a few pieces of jewelry and didn't have anything so valuable.

If she had to have such expensive jewelry, she would not have dressed so simply when she went to the poetry reading last time.

The smiles on the maids' faces froze immediately, and they stood there with their heads lowered.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't forget that I am your master. Your indentures are in my hands." Feng Qingchen took out a jade hairpin from the jewelry box and held it in her hand. It seemed like she was playing with it casually, but it contained a threat.

When the four maids in the room saw this, they knelt down with a thud and said, "Please forgive me, my lady. I did not mean to hide anything from you."

They all knew that the Miss Feng in front of them was not kind, nor was she someone who could be easily bullied.

"Then tell me, where did these jewellery come from?" Feng Qingchen knew in her heart that these things must have been given by Wang Jinling. She was just unhappy because the people around her kept it from her.

It was true that these people came from the Wang family, and she did not restrain them, prevent them from contacting the Wang family, or let them leave the Wang family, but it was wrong to hide the truth from her as their master.

"It's Master..." the maidservant called out as usual, but when she remembered that her current master was Feng Qingchen, she immediately changed her words: "It was sent by the eldest master of the Wang family. The eldest master said not to tell Miss yet, to give Miss a surprise."

Surprise was the reason. Wang Jinling only said this because he was afraid that Feng Qingchen would not accept it. After the things arrived at Feng Mansion and were stored in the warehouse, Feng Qingchen was too embarrassed to return them.

"Get up." Feng Qingchen did not continue to make things difficult for the maids. She knew that Wang Jinling was afraid that she would not accept them. Besides, she did not let these maids forget their old master.

"You are from the Wang family after all. You are right to obey the orders of the eldest master, but you must remember one thing. The eldest master has given you to me. I am your master. Before you do anything, you must remember this. If something like this happens again, you will not have to stay in this Loyalty Marquis Mansion."

Pah… Feng Qingchen threw the jade hairpin in her hand into the jewelry box. With a “dang” sound, the four maids were startled, feeling that this (5) jade hairpin was just thrown into their hearts, and they quickly responded, “Yes.”

"Get up." Feng Qingchen felt depressed for no reason.

She suddenly remembered Yuwen Yuanhua's words, saying that she was still free at home, without outsiders or spies, and she didn't have to worry about anything. But what about now?

Although Wang Jinling is not an outsider, she is definitely not an insider. In addition to the Wang family, there are also people from the Su family and the Zhai family in her house. Her every move is under the eyes of others. Although these people have no ill intentions, it still makes people uncomfortable.

"Besides these jewels, what else was sent by the eldest master?" Feng Qingchen thought to himself, should he buy a new batch of maids?

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. Firstly, doing so would hurt Wang Jinling's feelings, and secondly, I would be even more uneasy about using the maid I bought.

No one knows whether the maid is a spy from which mansion or planted by someone. Even if she is not a spy, she can be easily bribed. Instead of using maids from outside, it is better to use those who have been trained by the Wang family since childhood. At least they will not report her news to anyone else except Wang Jinling.

"Yes." The maid stepped forward and reported the things Wang Jinling had sent one by one. Feng Qingchen discovered that except for herself, everything she used in the Feng Mansion was prepared by Wang Jinling.

"Is the Feng Mansion that poor?" Feng Qingchen felt like she was being kept by someone. Wang Jinling actually took care of everything for her. This was really...
