The two maids were able to live in the deep palace for decades and still leave the palace safely, which shows that they were both smart.

As soon as Liu Tianshu said this, they immediately understood what she meant.

At the same time, they didn't want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion at all, and even wanted to return to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.

Liu Tianshu's refusal to accept their indenture contracts was exactly what the two men wanted.

"Madam, don't worry. We were sent by the Queen Mother and we are only loyal to her. We will hand these indentured slaves back to her."

"Thank you both for your understanding."

Liu Tianshu sighed softly, then turned her gaze to the two beautiful girls.

"Since you have entered my mansion, you are now members of the mansion. Since the Queen Mother has sent you to serve the Marquis, you will live in the Marquis's Fuguang Courtyard from now on, and your indentures will naturally be handed over to the Marquis."

"Yes!"

The status of those who go to the palace to work as maids is not very high. Even if they wait until they are 25 years old and are able to leave the palace, they will not be able to find a family that matches them.

The Queen Mother's purpose of having them come to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was made very clear by Aunt Rong the moment the two palace maids left the palace. The reason why she did not directly give them a real status was because the Marquis' Mansion was still in mourning period and the Marquis could not openly take a concubine.

As for Liu Tian'ai, it was a complete accident. The main reason why she could enter the mansion so quickly was the baby in her belly. However, she entered the mansion as Liu Tianshu's concubine, and told outsiders that she entered the mansion on the same day as Liu Tianshu.

The two palace maids were destined to become Gu Jinyun's concubines when they entered the Marquis' Mansion. They felt more at ease knowing that their indentures were in the hands of the Marquis than in the hands of Liu Tianshu.

After assigning the four people their destinations, Liu Tianshu asked someone to take them to Liuqie Garden and Fuguang Courtyard.

Tao'er was Gu Jinyun's maid, and Gu Jinyun had said long ago that she wanted to make her a concubine. She had always considered herself the person with the highest status in Fuguang Courtyard besides Gu Jinyun.

Because of her status, the mansion was destined to have an extra mistress of the house, so Liu Tian'ai was allowed to enter the mansion as a concubine first. Tao'er was already very dissatisfied, and now when she saw Qingshan sending two more beautiful girls, she immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Although the two palace maids are young, they are not simple people as they are able to survive in the harem.

Naturally, they could see the hostility in Tao'er's eyes at a glance, but they just nodded slightly to her and went to stay in the east wing as she watched.

This was the address Liu Tianshu had told them early in the morning. Since they had just arrived, they naturally would not go against Liu Tianshu's arrangements. As for Tao'er's displeasure, they didn't care at all.

Tao'er really didn't dare to be rude to the two girls who came out of the palace, especially when she knew that these two people were rewards from the Queen Mother, she didn't even dare to be displeased.

Seeing the change in Tao'er's expression, the two palace maids just smiled and started to clean up their rooms.

Gu Jinyun and Liu Tian'ai stayed in the room for a whole day. When they returned to Fuguangyuan after dark, they found out that there were two new beauties in his courtyard.

Gu Jinyun has always been unable to take a step forward in front of beauties, especially since the two women in front of him were sent by the empress dowager. She accepted them all and directly accepted their indentures and named them Haitang and Qiangwei.

Having a new name meant that they were recognized by their master. Haitang and Qiangwei were very happy and immediately wanted to serve Gu Jinyun.

Gu Jinyun had just gotten satisfaction from Liu Tian'ai and had no energy to touch these two beauties, but that didn't affect him at all from taking advantage of them.

She was destined to be Gu Jinyun's person. Haitang and Qiangwei were afraid that he didn't like her, so they naturally wouldn't reject his touch on them.

The three of them were playing in the room without closing the door. Tao'er was watching the situation in the room from the side. She was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off, but she didn't dare to rush over.

Xiao Sanyuan came over and whispered to Tao'er, "Don't look at it. Don't you know what kind of person our Marquis is? Those two girls are not only beautiful, but also new. I'm afraid the Marquis will be around these two for a while."

"You're right."

Tao'er sighed in frustration, and pouted her pretty little mouth, looking indescribably shy and cute.

Xiao Sanyuan's heart was beating fast, and he tried to tell himself that this person was his master's man, so he did not do anything that inappropriate.

"Don't be sad. Our Lord loves novelty the most. When he gets over this novelty, he will come back to you."

Tao'er forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Xiao Sanyuan, how can I keep the Marquis by my side? Am I going to be like that guy?"

Although Tao'er didn't say it explicitly, her eyes were looking at Liu Qieyuan not far away, and it was obvious who she was talking about.

"Don't let it get to you."

Tao'er's words scared Xiao Sanyuan.

"You and I both know how that girl got into the palace. We originally thought that she was very much in the Queen Mother's heart and we had to be careful. Now it seems that the Queen Mother really cares about the piece of meat in his belly, otherwise she would not have sent two beautiful girls here at this time.

If you learn from her, even though you may be favored on the surface, you will definitely have to leave Fuguangyuan. Do you think that given our Marquis's personality, how much can he remember about you when there are other beauties around him?"

Tao'er really didn't dare to bet on Gu Jinyun's feelings for her.

What she said just now was just talk. Before they had an official relationship, he wouldn't dare to do anything beyond the rules.

There was no way out. She was a servant in this mansion, and her indenture was in the hands of the mistress of the house. If she was unhappy, she might be sold.

In comparison, although Liu Tian'ai was not born into a high-class family, she was much better off than these slaves.

Thinking of this, Tao'er looked in the direction of Liuqie Garden, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"My dear aunt, there are two more outsiders in this garden from now on. You must control your emotions and don't let anyone catch you."

"I know."

Tao'er quickly controlled her emotions, blinked, and soon returned to her usual lively and playful appearance, but there was no longer the brilliance in her eyes.

Looking at Tao'er like this, Xiao Sanyuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

He has been with Gu Jinyun since he was a child, and knows his food-protecting nature better than anyone else.

Since Tao'er has followed him, he will never allow anyone else to get involved. Even if he doesn't like her anymore in the future, he would rather destroy her than allow anyone else to touch his woman.

If he wanted to stay with Gu Jinyun and stay in the Marquis' Mansion, he must not violate Gu Jinyun's taboos.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Looking at Gu Jinyun who was still chatting and laughing with Haitang Qiangwei in the room not far away, his eyes were full of complexity.

"Those two also have indentures in the mansion, but they came from the palace. Their status is still much higher than yours. Are you really willing to be suppressed by more and more women?"
