"Sir, please wipe your face." Jiang Chunxi respectfully handed the wrung-out face towel to Hu Haofeng.

Hu Haofeng took the towel and wiped his face, then handed it to Jiang Chunxi before asking, "How old were you when you were sold to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The maid in front of him should not be a born child in the family, and since she is not a born child in the family, she must have been bought from outside.

"I was sold to the Prime Minister's Mansion when I was six years old," Jiang Chunxi raised her eyes and glanced at Hu Haofeng carefully before continuing to answer, "I have been the Prime Minister for seven years."

"Can you read?" Hu Haofeng continued to ask. Yao Jinmo was a talented woman with a wealth of knowledge, so he would not allow this maid who looked similar to Yao Jinmo to be illiterate.

Jiang Chunxi shook her head: "I am just a little maid. Without the grace of my master, how could I be blessed to learn to read?"

"So do you want to learn?" Hu Haofeng was not disappointed with Jiang Chunxi's answer. After all, it was normal for this maid to be illiterate. If this maid could read, he would be suspicious.

"Yes," Jiang Chunxi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "I want to learn. I dream of learning to read. Can you, Master, grant me the gift of literacy?"

Hu Haofeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Serve me well, and if you do, I will teach you to read personally."

"I will do my best to serve you well," Jiang Chunxi replied hastily, her tone firm. "I will help you undress and bathe you."

It is a hot day now, and Hu Haofeng has just come back from outside, so naturally he needs to take a shower and change clothes. The bath water in the bathroom has already been prepared.

At the same time, in the Prime Minister's wife's courtyard.

"Madam, there is news from the eldest master's courtyard. The maidservant has been chosen by the eldest master and has been promoted to a first-class maid to serve him personally." The one who spoke was Nanny Cheng. She was a part of the dowry of the prime minister's wife and she never married. She combed her hair and became a nanny and served the prime minister's wife all the time.

"Having seen that maid's face, Haofeng would definitely not remain indifferent," the Prime Minister's wife sighed, "Alas! What sin did I commit to give birth to such a sentimental person?"

"No," the Prime Minister's wife looked so disappointed, "What kind of a romantic? To call him a romantic is simply flattering that evil boy. It's clearly the evil boy's wishful thinking. Yao Jinmo doesn't even like him, but that evil boy, his brain must have been chewed by a dog, otherwise how could he be fooled by Yao Jinmo, and for Yao Jinmo, he actually..."

The Prime Minister's wife was so angry that she was gasping for breath and could no longer speak. She was afraid that if she continued, she would be angry to death again.

How could the Prime Minister's wife not see what kind of person Yao Jinmo was? She was a scheming woman. She knew her son liked her, but she still kept her son hanging even though she had already granted him marriage.

Humph! How could the Prime Minister's wife not know what Yao Jinmo was planning?

Is that woman very ambitious?

This was because he had long been eyeing the influence of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the court. His son, a muddleheaded man with shit-filled eyes, was willing to be led by the nose by Yao Jinmo, and he was unable to see Yao Jinmo's true character. He thought Yao Jinmo was the bright moon in the sky, and for the sake of his bright moon, he would not mind even if his parents were pissed off to death.

To be honest, if she didn't have only this one son, the Prime Minister's wife would have simply given up on such a foolish son, so as to avoid being angered to death by his unfilial son in the future.

But who made her so unlucky that she only gave birth to this one son and not another one?

"Madam, calm down," Nanny Cheng brought a cup of tea to the Prime Minister's wife, "You must not get angry because of the eldest master again. Have you forgotten the last time you were so angry that you almost fainted? The doctor has told you that you must not get angry like that again, otherwise it might be detrimental to your health."

"I don't want to be angry either," the Prime Minister's wife took the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put the cup on the table and continued, "but every time I mention that evildoer, I can't help but get angry."

"By the way, do you think that maid can do anything?" The Prime Minister's wife looked worried. "I don't expect that maid to stop that evil creature from being obsessed with Yao Jinmo. I just hope that the maid can distract that evil creature a little and make him stop refusing to marry. Then I will be very happy."

The Prime Minister's wife first noticed Jiang Chunxi through Nanny Chen's report half a year ago.

That's why the maid was placed in his son's yard instead of being directly given to his son as a concubine.

Doesn't she know her son yet?

If she were to send that maid to her son's yard, she didn't know how angry her son would be with her, and at the same time, the maid's face would lose its function.

Alas! Only if my son stops being so obsessed with Yao Jinmo can that evil creature agree to marry and have children. I just hope that maidservant won't let her down.

"Madam, don't worry!" Madam Cheng said, "I have observed that maid for half a year. Although she is a little weak in character, it is precisely because of her weak character that she looks so pitiful. Even an old woman like me can't take my eyes off her appearance, let alone a man. Especially since the maid looks so much like Miss Yao."

"So I am sure that the eldest master will be fascinated. It won't be long before his heart is no longer entirely on Miss Yao."

If it were any other wealthy family, the mistress would have to be on guard against her son being bewitched by a maid, but her eldest son was in a different situation! He was bewitched by that vixen Yao Jinmo.

Therefore! Madam Cheng was not worried about the maid's tricks and the way she bewitched the eldest master. She just wished that the maid could be more powerful. If she could make the eldest master no longer be bewitched by Yao Jinmo, that would be great.

As for if the eldest master was bewitched by a maid, Nanny Cheng was not worried. She was just a lowly maid and there was no need to worry that she could not cause any trouble. It would be great if the maid could recognize her own identity and knew what not to fantasize about.

But if someone is careless and dares to covet things that do not belong to her, Nanny Cheng has plenty of ways to deal with her.

This is the difference in status. She and her wife couldn't do anything to that vixen Yao Jinmo, so could they not do anything to a maid of humble origin?

"Oh, I hope so!" The Prime Minister's wife sighed. Now she could only hope that the maid would work harder and not let her down.
