Chapter 38 Thoughts
Xia Qing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Thank you for your guidance, Miss Third. I understand."
Lu Xiang said: "No need to thank me, you should understand that no reward without merit!"
"Yes, I understand. I will follow the Third Young Lady's lead in the future."
Xia Qing did not expect to be able to rise to prominence with the Third Miss in the future. She only hoped that the Third Miss would allow her to live a stable and worry-free life for the rest of her life in consideration of her surrender today.
Lu Xiang continued, "Qiu Huan, it is better to be a wife of a poor family than a concubine of a rich family. Even if you don't have wealth and splendor, you can be upright and don't have to be humble and look down on others. If you do something for me today, I will not let you down when you get married in the future."
After hearing this, Xia Qing was surprised and happy.
The Third Miss was promising her that she would marry her in style in the future.
Xia Qing doesn't have big ambitions, so she chooses to save her life instead of asking Lu Xiang for help in becoming a concubine.
Xia Qing wiped away the remaining tears in her eyes and nodded happily: "Thank you, Miss Third, for your help."
It was not until Xia Qing left that Wu Yue asked Lu Xiang: "Miss, we don't know Xia Qing, is she useful?" She was still someone close to Aunt Fang, and she was worried.
Lu Xiang glanced at Wu Yue and smiled, "Whether she is useful or not, you will know after you use her. I don't need her to be loyal to me, as long as she can be used by me."
In her memory, Xia Qing in her previous life was not very prominent, but he was still a smart person.
Liu has won over a large number of servants in the mansion, so she also has to make plans for herself.
Lanyuan
Xia Qing entered the courtyard in fear and trepidation. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mother Li walking towards her angrily. She raised her hand and twisted her arm fiercely: "You stupid girl, you have learned to be lazy so quickly. Do you think you are the master of the mansion?"
Xia Qing grimaced in pain but didn't dare to fight back, and tried hard to hold back her tears.
Xia Qing begged for mercy again and again: "Mother Li, I was wrong, please forgive me."
When Mother Li heard Xia Qing's begging for mercy, she exerted more force and her eyes flashed with viciousness, like a venomous snake lying in wait for its chance to strike.
Mother Li stopped pinching until her hands were sore and glared at Xia Qing: "You better not have any ideas, little bitch, or I will be the first to not forgive you. Auntie just woke up from her nap, hurry up and serve her."
"yes."
Xia Qing lowered her head and responded in a nod. She felt waves of pain all over her body. She knew without looking that the places where she was pinched by Mother Li were all blue. This made her feel even more resentful and more determined in her decision.
The furnishings in the room are extremely gorgeous.
Aunt Fang was lying on the imperial concubine's couch. When she saw Xia Qing come in, her face was filled with undisguised disgust.
"What the hell have you been to, you little girl? You just slack off whenever you get the chance."
Xia Qing's thin shoulders trembled slightly, and she was too timid to make a sound.
Aunt Fang looked at Xia Qing's beautiful face, as if there was a thorn stuck in her heart, and she just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Aunt Fang's eyes were a little creepy. Xia Qing bit her lip and suddenly knelt down and said, "I have a request. I hope Aunt Fang will grant it."
Aunt Fang was stunned, thinking to herself that this damn little bitch really couldn't hold back and wanted to make conditions with her. When she thought of this possibility, Aunt Fang's chest burst into rage again.
However, before Aunt Fang could get angry, Xia Qing said again: "Aunt, please listen to what I have to say." Her suddenly high voice scared Aunt Fang.
Mother Li was immediately furious: "How can you, a lowly maid, talk to your master like that?"
As she spoke, her sinister eyes flashed and she raised her hand to hit Xia Qing again.
Aunt Fang narrowed her eyes and stopped Mother Li. She looked at Xia Qing with a gloomy expression and said, "Let her continue."
She wanted to see what this bitch wanted to do.
Xia Qing said: "I know that I am of humble status and never dare to have any improper thoughts. I don't want to embarrass you, but I don't know how to make you believe my sincerity."
"So I beg you to allow me to serve the Fifth Young Miss."
As soon as Xia Qing finished speaking, Aunt Fang was shocked.
Yes, if Xia Qing goes to serve Yue'er, then the master will not favor Xia Qing.
The master is extremely concerned about his reputation. If he favors the maidservant around his daughter, it will be a disgrace to the Lu family if the news gets out. The old lady will never allow such a thing to happen.
But soon Aunt Fang looked worried.
"You were appointed by the old lady to serve in my courtyard. I have no right to call on maids."
Xia Qing said: "I found an opportunity, so I came to report to you, Auntie."
Aunt Fang's eyes suddenly lit up, she straightened up, and stared at Xia Qing thoughtfully: "What do you have in mind?"
"I have been trying to get close to the Third Miss. The old lady loves her very much. As long as she asks, the old lady will always respond. She thought that the aunt's punishment would make me dissatisfied, so she tried to win me over. But she didn't expect that this was just a self-torture trick used by the aunt on me..."
Xia Qing's words made Aunt Fang feel guilty for a while, but she quickly accepted it as a matter of course and felt that Xia Qing was a sensible person.
"Miss San has pity on me and thinks that I hate my aunt, so she wants to win me over. Now I have gained Miss San's trust. From now on, no matter what Miss San does, I will report to my aunt. This way, it will be more convenient for my aunt to act."
Xia Qing's skill in deceiving people was no less than amazing. Just a few words made Aunt Fang's eyes light up with excitement. It was really because the scene she described was too beautiful.
Aunt Fang stood up and helped Xia Qing up herself, smiling gently, "Xia Qing, I am indeed a smart person. I can figure out the real purpose of beating and scolding you. It is worth my training you. You will be Yue'er's confidant in the future. Serve the Fifth Miss well, and I will not let you down."
The old lady has always cared about Lu Xiang, so the maids who serve her are carefully selected. Yunzha and Wuyue are not easy to bribe, and the maids who do odd jobs in the mansion are shared by several people, so it is impossible to place more people there.
Now that's better.
Looking at Xia Qing now, Aunt Fang is becoming more and more satisfied.
She thought Xia Qing was frightened by her methods, but she didn't know that her maid had already developed other intentions.
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I will definitely live up to your high expectations."
Xia Qing looked at Aunt Fang's hypocritical smile and felt cold in her heart. Since she was assigned to Lanyuan, she had been following her duties and serving Aunt Fang seriously, but in the end, she became a thorn in her side.
The next morning, Mother Wen went to Lanyuan and asked Aunt Fang to take Xia Qing to Fuyuantang.
When Aunt Fang brought Xia Qing in, Lu Xiang was chatting with the old lady. Lu Xiang's crisp laughter and the old lady's low laughter intertwined with each other, making the room flow with tender warmth, making people feel happy when they are in it.
"Hello, old lady." Aunt Fang walked up to the old lady and bowed respectfully.
The old lady's face suddenly turned gloomy when she saw Aunt Fang. This Aunt Fang had no real ability but loved to make trouble. Even an insignificant thing could make her jealous and make the maidservants who served her suffer.
