The maid's road to success

When An Wenniang returned home, it was already midnight and there was no one on the streets. Fortunately, Zhu Hai was with her so she was not so scared. When An Qing arrived at the An family, he went directly to the pharmacy with An Yun to discuss how to help Zong Ge detoxify.

An Wenniang looked at her palms and her face began to burn again. Why was the Fourth Young Master becoming more and more fond of touching her? She should have less contact with the Fourth Young Master in the future and it would be best if she didn't stay alone with him.

The next day, An Qing and An Yun followed An Wenniang to Prince Li's mansion again. In order to facilitate An Qing's treatment, Princess Yong'an moved Master Zong to the backyard near the street.

An Qing carefully felt Zong Ge's pulse, and there was no problem with An Yun's pulse diagnosis.

"My brother's diagnosis is correct. First use the red lotus to heal the young master. Then take the medicine in this prescription. It will take ten days to remove the poison of the seven-day fragrance. After the young master gets better, I will send the antidote to the drug that can eradicate the infertility. Although I can't guarantee that the young master will be able to have children, there is at least a 50% chance. He can also live longer."

Princess Yong'an nodded excitedly and carefully put away the prescription and the red lotus. She thought the red lotus was some kind of medicinal herb, but it turned out to be a pill made in the shape of red lotus.

As soon as they left, Prince Li came over from the side room, looked at the prescription and red lotus medicine bottle handed over by Princess Yong'an, and handed them to the doctor beside him for inspection.

Prince Li only looked at the red porcelain bottle carefully and smelled it.

"Don't worry, this is not Red Lotus, it's Red Heart Jade Lotus, the Yuan family's treasure. I used it when I was young. Two pills of this medicine healed 80% of my old injuries from the battlefield. I'm afraid these two young men are from the Yuan family."

Princess Yong'an thought about the fate of the Yuan family and asked her grandfather curiously.

"Wasn't the Yuan family confiscated, the adult men beheaded, and the children exiled?"

Prince Li looked at the words on the prescription.

"I had a good relationship with Doctor Yuan in the past. I have seen his grandson, he is a capable man. However, these two teenagers do not look alike, so I have no idea who they are. It is also possible that they got the recipe of Red Heart Jade Lotus by coincidence. Anyway, this is a top-grade nourishing medicine, which will only benefit Brother Zong. After I check it out and find that there is nothing wrong with it, I will give it to Brother Zong."

The two doctors who had been employed by Prince Li's mansion examined it and both said it was a good thing. One doctor even wanted to keep one to do research, but was rejected by Princess Yong'an.

Wen Niang had helped her invite two great doctors because of their past friendship. How could she secretly withhold the Red Heart Jade Lotus and give it to the doctors in the mansion for research? Wouldn't that hurt those two doctors? What if they got angry and refused to detoxify Zong Ge?

An Zizhong had not found a safe way to help Chen Luolan escape from Duke Xu's mansion, but An Wenniang had already thought of it.

There was a girl in Black Hawk who was very smart and beautiful, but she was very ambitious. An Wenniang arranged her to live in the villa. After Yu Hu got married, she took the two elders of the Liu family away to support them, and she became free.

"Ping'er, do you know why I called you here?"

Ping'er knelt on the ground and nodded.

"The young lady wants to arrange a new job for Ping'er."

An Wenniang kept staring at Ping'er. She was indeed a pretty girl, a pure and innocent beauty like a green lotus.

"I wonder if you have the ability to make a veteran prostitute fall in love with you?"

Ping'er raised her head and nodded firmly.

"I can, but I may need to observe the other person first, and maybe I need some medicine."

An Wen Niang nodded and asked her to inquire about Duke Xu. In order to prevent Chen Luolan from still having feelings for Duke Xu, An Wen Niang did not plan to start with Chen Luolan's husband, but chose Duke Xu.

Duke Xu is a ruthless person, and his temperament is completely different from Duke Xu's. A man of noble birth like this naturally has been inseparable from women since childhood, so ordinary women really cannot attract him.

The reason why Ping'er was chosen is because she is smart and ambitious enough. Such a person is unwilling to live at the bottom of society forever. When she was in Xishan, she was able to make the Black Hawk people take care of her and fight for her. It was all thanks to An Lan that they suppressed the situation. She was also able to make everyone in the manor like her very much. This is her ability.

Ping'er was also rescued from the hands of human traffickers. All the girls were locked in the woodshed, including those prettier than her. However, Ping'er could live in a dry room and did not lose her virginity.

Ping'er hung around outside for four days. When she came back on the fifth day, she went straight to see An Wen's mother.

"I have successfully established a relationship with the old lady of Duke Xu, and I can enter Duke Xu's mansion tomorrow. Please prepare some fragrant dew for me, with the scent of plum blossoms, and some silver."

An Wenniang didn't expect her to be so skillful. It would be a waste of her talent to have her work under her.

"how did you do that?"

Ping'er smoothed her hair.

"I frightened the old lady of Duke Xu's horse, staged a good show of saving people, and also provoked gangsters to bully me. The old lady of Duke Xu promised to let me serve in Duke Xu's mansion. Duke Xu likes the scent of plum blossoms very much, and his favorite singer also smells like plum blossoms. As for the silver, it can help me get close to Duke Xu quickly."

An Wenniang nodded, gave her what she wanted, and asked her to serve Duke Xu as soon as possible. She had only one request, which was to find a way to get the Second Lady and the Second Master of Duke Xu to divorce.

Ping'er nodded, and An Yun gave her a pill directly.

"Newly prepared Yuxiang Pills, twelve pills, with plum blossom scent, which can directly give you body fragrance and last for a year without the need for perfume lotion."

An Yun always came up with these strange things, and Ping'er swallowed them without thinking. Then she said goodbye to An Wenniang and left.

It's not too dangerous with An Qing and his sister at Zong Ge's place, but the third young lady is now in a den of wolves. An Wenniang told An Zizhong about her plan, and An Zizhong didn't have a better idea for the time being, so he let her make the arrangements first. If that didn't work, he would think of other ways.

Fortunately, Ping'er worked hard and started serving in Duke Xu's study in just half a month.

Ping'er's snake-like waist was held by the man's strong and powerful arms, and she was trembling with fear.

"My Lord, please don't do this. I am scared."

Xu Jianing buried his head in her neck, took a deep breath, spoke softly in her ear, and his lips gently touched Ping'er's ear.

"Do you know why I asked you to come and serve me? The smell of you makes me want to hold you under me."

After saying that, he tore off Ping'er's clothes. Without the clothes covering her, the sharp plum fragrance became even stronger.

Ping'er struggled and refused to give in. She pulled out the hairpin on her head and put it to her throat.

"My Lord, I was brought here by the old lady. Although I am given to you as a reward, I am not the kind of woman who wants to climb into your bed. If you force me, I will die here."

It was no secret in the mansion that Xu Jianing liked the scent of plum blossoms. He thought that this woman was deliberately trying to seduce him and that was why she kept using the scent of plum blossoms to fumigate her clothes, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

"You deliberately used this plum fragrance just to seduce me, don't play this trick?"

Ping'er looks confused?

"Why do I need incense? I never use incense. Even my purse is filled with fruit."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending, Xu Jianing picked up the coat she had just torn and smelled it. Sure enough, the smell on the clothes was not as strong as the smell on her body.

"Come here and let me smell it and I won't touch you."

When Xu Jianing was a child, he read foreign novels and knew that there was a kind of women in this world who had their own body fragrance, which men smelled like aphrodisiac. He liked the mixed scent of plum blossoms on women, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually the kind of person who had her own unique fragrance.

"Really?"

Ping'er felt that Duke Xu was trying to trick her and hesitated to go forward. Xu Jianing also had no patience and directly took out his ring and hit Ping'er's wrist with it. The hairpin immediately fell to the ground. Ping'er screamed in pain and was held in Xu Jianing's arms.

Her clothes were torn and thrown on the ground at random. Ping'er pushed Xu Jianing's chest away with force but to no avail. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she cried desperately.

"Please, let me go, please, don't."

Xu Jianing suppressed the desire that was about to erupt all over his body, hugged the woman tightly in his arms, and used his coat to wrap her beautiful naked body.

It was indeed the fragrance emanating from her body, from her head to her soft peak, smooth belly, slender legs to her feet, all was that plum scent. Ping'er struggled hard, her whole body was sweating, and the smell was even stronger. Even her tears smelled of plum dew.

Now that I have discovered such a treasure, I cannot treat it so casually. The person in my arms values ​​her innocence too much, and I cannot force it, otherwise I will really commit suicide. Where can I find such a woman with plum fragrance that suits my taste?

"I won't touch you. Stop struggling. If you stimulate me again, I will really eat you."

Ping'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to move. Xu Jianing's heart was beating loudly behind her. She lowered her head to calm her body's reaction.

Ping'er didn't show any cunning expression. It was worthy of her hard work in serving the old lady recently. In order to please her, she had to find a way to get close to Duke Xu and was sent to the study to serve.

"My Lord, I still need to go outside to collect my monthly salary. Please let me go first."

Xu Jianing stood up, looked at the beautiful woman who was only wrapped in her thin coat, her eyes red from crying, and looked so pitiful. She took off the purse from her waist.

"Here, take this. How are you going to collect your monthly allowance in this state? Half a tael of silver is not enough for anything."

Ping'er shook her head and turned her face away and refused to take it.

"I earned the half ounce of silver through my own labor. I don't want the Duke's money. It's not a festival, and I didn't do anything good as a reward. Why should I take your money?"

Xu Jianing smiled as he looked at the maid who was angry with him. It was the first time that he was despised by someone. She didn't even want the money. Those women racked their brains to serve him in order to make him loosen his grip and give him more rewards. But this one was different and quite interesting.

"Don't you make me very happy, Xiao Ping'er?"

Ping'er was stunned for a while before she realized what Xu Jianing was saying. She bit her lip and waited for Xu Jianing for a long time, then lowered her head and was about to run out.

Xu Jianing picked her up by the waist.

"If you run out like this, all the servants serving outside today will be dead. Stay here and I'll get you some clothes."

Ping'er was crying and her chest was shaking violently. She pulled Xu Jianing's big hand with one hand and held her clothes with the other hand, but she couldn't see how much she could cover. Xu Jianing felt a little pain in his lower body when he saw her. He quickly let her go and went out.

Ping'er wiped her tears when she saw him go out, kicked the torn clothes on the ground, and said to wait a little longer. Xu Jianing would not cherish it so much after getting it so quickly. It would be best to keep him waiting until she could not wait any longer and then let him taste the sweetness.

Xu Jianing brought the clothes in, and Ping'er stretched out her white and tender arms to take the clothes. The heavy silver bracelet hanging on her slender wrist looked very abrupt.

Listening to the sound of the shy woman entering the inner room and changing her clothes, Xu Jianing felt for the first time that staying in the mansion was not so boring and troublesome.

At night, Ping'er deliberately switched night duty with another maid who was in charge of pens and ink, and stayed away from Xu Jianing.

After having dinner with several wives and concubines in the backyard, he returned to the front yard on the pretext of attending to official business. Just as he was about to hold Ping'er's hand to smell her, he saw that the person in front of him was not Ping'er.

"Where's Ping'er?"

Lushui looked at the gloomy Duke and quickly knelt down to explain.

"Ping'er is ill. I'm afraid she will die of her illness."

Xu Jianing had just become interested in a woman, so he was naturally concerned about her and went straight to the side room.

Ping'er was lying on the bed with a pale face. He touched Ping'er's forehead and found it was very hot. How could she have a fever?

Just as I was about to ask someone to call a doctor to take a look, I heard Ping'er mumbling.

"No, no, spare me, please."

Looking at the unconscious maid who was still begging for mercy, Xu Jianing naturally knew that he had been too reckless today and scared her. He didn't expect that she really didn't want to serve him.

What can be done? What a man cannot get is the best. There are many women who obey men of this feudal class. The first time he met a maid who did not want to follow him, Xu Jianing became eager to fight.

"Find someone to check on Ping'er, and assign two more people to serve her."

Xu Li had been serving Xu Jianing for many years, and he immediately realized that the Duke had taken a fancy to Ping'er and had his own plans.

The Duke has quite a few maids in his employ. Except for one who has been serving him since childhood and has become his concubine, the others can only be considered as maids in the same room. How could they have anyone to serve them? At most, their monthly salary would be doubled.

Ping'er has never served the Duke, but she is treated like this. I'm afraid she will become a concubine in the backyard sooner or later.

Ping'er heard the sound of people walking away and slowly opened her eyes. She deliberately sweated and stood in the wind to make herself sick, and what she said was specifically said by Xu Jianing.

After An Wenniang rescued herself from the hands of the mercenaries, she had no intention of going back to her previous hard life. Since her masters let her out to get close to Duke Xu, she would keep climbing up and become a real superior person.

When the news about Ping'er was sent to An Wenniang, she was very surprised. Ping'er was so powerful, how could she be willing to stay in Xishan and become a member of the Black Hawk.

However, it also let An Wenniang know the wonderfulness of the Yuxiang Pills developed by An Yun. Thinking that there were two of her own people in the palace, she directly had two people sent to the palace.

As soon as Ping'er recovered from her illness, Lady Xu called her to the backyard to give her a lecture.

"Since you are a maid given to me by my mother, I should not treat you harshly. However, you are a maid who has a bad temper and doesn't serve the master well. You act like a coquettish person. Who should I chop off? Today, I will punish you to kneel here for two hours to teach you a lesson."

Ping'er knew that Duke Xu's wife would naturally be jealous when she knew that Duke Xu favored her. She knew that this woman was jealous because no other woman in the backyard had given birth to a child except herself, so she let people spread the word here and added fuel to the fire.

Xu Jianing has been kept hanging for ten days, it's time for him to taste the sweetness.

Ping'er walked on the path back to the front yard, her green jacket unable to cover the bloodstains on her knees.

With red eyes, she walked forward with difficulty and came to the yard. Lushui was standing at the door waiting anxiously. Xu Jianing asked about Ping'er when he came back and had asked someone to look for her in the backyard.

"Ah, Ping'er, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Shui's exclamation startled Xu Jianing, who was feeling restless in the house. When he heard Ping'er's name, he was about to rush out with a look of anger on his face, looking at the weak and pitiful Ping'er standing in the middle of the yard.

The blood on her knees dyed her goose yellow skirt red. The moment she saw herself, she could no longer hold back her tears and she was staggering and about to fall.

When Xu Jianing came back and heard that Ping'er was called to the backyard, he knew that the woman couldn't stand him favoring someone else again. But he thought that Ping'er was a girl given by his mother after all, so she wouldn't go too far. He didn't expect that she would hurt Ping'er like this.

"My Lord, my Lord, please let me out. I don't want to stay in the Duke's Mansion anymore. I will die. Please have mercy on me and let me out."

Xu Jianing felt very uncomfortable when he heard Ping'er's wailing and crying. He had never seen Ping'er so humble, pitiful and miserable. A few days ago, she was angry with him and avoided him, but now she was crying and wanted to leave.
