The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

When he woke up again, it was already dark, and Jiang Tunan was dizzy from hunger.

Didn't Madam Xiao say that she would take good care of herself? Why didn't anyone come to deliver food? Did she want to starve herself to death? Sure enough, the most high-end house fights often take the simplest approach.

"Girl, wake up!"

A little girl wearing a water green blouse with piping and a pine green skirt, with a double bun on her head decorated with a turquoise ribbon. Although her clothes were also beautiful, they were not as noble as those of the winter plum and crabapple.

"You again?"

"My name is Cuihua. Madam asked me to serve you. From now on, I will be your personal maid."

Jiang Tunan:?

As expected, wealthy families are different. People like me are also worthy of having a personal maid.

"Uh, that Cuihua, you said you were my personal maid?"

"In reply to the young lady, from today on, I will be responsible for all of her daily life."

The little girl seemed to be extremely excited, with red cheeks. Could she have come running over?

"Okay Cuihua, I'm hungry now, can you give me something to eat?"

"Yes, young lady. I'll go right away!"

Cuihua ran away in a flash. Not long after, Cuihua brought the meal.

"Miss, I was late today, and the kitchen said that these are the only foods left. Please forgive me, Miss."

"It's easy to talk about."

Jiang Tunan glanced at the dishes on the table, one stir-fried vegetable and one stir-fried meat. To be honest, her living standard in the hospital was just like that. It was so funny, she was indeed a medical sacrifice. In ancient times, maids lived better than her.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Tunan finished all the food on the table. When Jiang Tunan looked up, he saw Cuihua looking at him with a strange look. That look seemed to be ----- admiration?!

"Cuihua, can I ask you something?"

"Girl, please speak!"

"You look excited?"

As if what he said hit the nail on the head, Cuihua lowered her head shyly.

"Miss, I'll tell you the truth. Before you came, I was just a maid in the outer courtyard. I can't read, but I'm strong, so I've been doing yard sweeping work. Later, when Madam saw that I was working hard, she promoted me to a maid in the inner courtyard. Don't worry, Miss, I will serve you well!"

Jiang Tunan narrowed his eyes and said, "Silly boy, Madam Xiao doesn't look up to you, she looks down on me, so she just randomly appointed a servant who sweeps the yard to serve me. Well, now the master and servant can't even think of one thing, so just wait to be killed in this deep courtyard."

"So that's why."

"Girl," Cuihua raised her head and looked at Jiang Tunan seriously.

"I feel that you are different from other girls. When other girls eat, they only eat a little bit and throw away the rest. But you finish it all. You are not as pretentious as other girls."

Jiang Tunan felt that Cuihua sounded so strange, like the classic line in the old domineering novel: This girl is different from others, she is so special, so pure, and so unpretentious~

Jiang Tunan shook his head, trying to shake out the outrageous voices in his mind.

"Miss, when I came here, I heard the steward in the front yard say that you were not in good health and that you would not live for many years. But I saw that you had just finished your meal and you did not look like a sick person. You must be in good health!"

Jiang Tunan found it a little funny. This little maid was really simple. She had just met her and she was already talking a lot. She had also wondered if ordinary maids would despise her for being a country girl. It seemed that she had been worrying too much.

"Cuihua, thank you for your appreciation. I am just a girl from the countryside. I am naturally different from those ladies from wealthy families. Although Madam Xiao asked you to serve me, I will not force you if you don't want to. You just need to do your own things every day and don't worry about me."

Although Jiang Tunan is not a calculating person, she has read a few palace fighting novels after all. She is now alone in the Xiao Mansion. If she cannot cultivate confidants, she must also ensure that there are no people with ulterior motives around her.

Although Cuihua was just a maid, it made her feel more at ease, thinking that such a person would not be someone else's spy.

Of course, if Madam Xiao is willing to go through so much trouble to harm herself, then just pretend she didn't say that.

To sum up, she just waited for death.

"Miss, you said so, but what did I do wrong?"

Cuihua knelt down quickly, her face full of panic.

"No, Cuihua, you did a great job. I just want to tell you that I am not a lady from a wealthy family. It doesn't matter if I have someone to serve me or not. If what you said is from the heart, then I am willing to accept you. But if you want to get something from me, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

Because now, apart from her integrity, she also has clean hands.

"My slave understands!"

"Okay, Cuihua, get up. You can be more casual in front of me from now on. You don't have to call yourself a slave or kneel down at every turn."

Jiang Tunan didn't want to promote the idea of ​​equality for all in this feudal society like other heroines in novels. She simply found it difficult to listen to her speak like this.

"Girl, this is against the rules."

"It's up to you. I'm not a rule-abiding person anyway."

"Yes."

"but,"

Jiang Tunan looked at Cuihua's clear and pure eyes.

"You should be called Chunhua from now on. Cuihua doesn't sound good. The flowers in spring are full of vitality. I hope you will always be like the flowers in spring, full of vitality and blooming towards the sun."

Don't get stuck in this deep compound and slowly lose your vitality.

"Thank you for the name, young lady!"

Chunhua stood up happily, and looked at Jiang Tunan with even more fiery eyes. Since she was a child, she was despised for her strength and not looking like a girl. Later, her brother fell seriously ill, and her parents sold her to the Xiao Mansion for one tael of silver to be a maid sweeping the floor.

She was illiterate, incapable of delicate work, and her hands were covered with calluses. No master was willing to keep her by his side, so she stayed in the outer courtyard to sweep the floor. Until today, she was favored by Madam Xiao.

I thought the new girl would dislike me, but she didn't. Instead, she gave me a new name. Miss Jiang is really the best person in the world.

Chunhua had already praised Jiang Tunan to the sky in her heart, but Jiang Tunan was still thinking. Chunhua had just reminded her that this body had been weak since childhood, and she might die of illness before she was killed by the house fighting.

It doesn’t matter, she has studied modern medicine, so it’s not difficult for her at all!

Just kidding, I studied medicine for four years, but it's actually of no use here.

However, recuperation is not urgent, the most urgent thing is to figure out your own situation first. What kind of Xiao Mansion is this?

"Chunhua, can you tell me who are the people in this Xiao Mansion?"

Chunhua agreed and told the story. Lord Xiao only had one wife, Madam Xiao, and no concubines. They had four sons, the second and third of whom were twins.

Wait, Jiang Tunan seemed to remember that the male protagonist’s surname was Xiao, and his name was Xiao Ming or something.

"Chunhua, what are the names of Lord Xiao's four sons?"

"To answer the young lady's question, it is the eldest son Xiao Mingyue, the second son Xiao Mingli, the third son Xiao Mingxu, and the fourth son Xiao Mingrui."

Jiang Tunan: It helps a little, but not much.

As we all know, the male protagonist of a brainless sweet novel must be handsome, elegant, talented, and have countless suitors.

However, based on Jiang Tunan's experience of reading online novels for so many years, it's not good for the supporting characters to get close to the male and female protagonists. She should stay away, otherwise she will really become cannon fodder, although she seems to have been a cannon fodder female supporting role.

Jiang Tunan was just about to ask Chunhua to tell him more about the Xiao Mansion when someone knocked on the door.

"Miss, it's Sister Haitang who is beside the Madam."

Haitang walked in with an impatient look on her face.

"Miss Jiang, the master and the mistress invite you to the flower hall."

This afternoon, because Madam Xiao was present, Jiang Tunan did not observe Haitang carefully, but now he can see her clearly.

Haitang has an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a pair of bright almond eyes, but she still likes Chunhua's clear eyes.

Although Haitang and Chunhua were wearing the same maid's clothes, the material of Haitang's clothes was obviously better than Chunhua's, not to mention the jewelry on her head and ears.

Perhaps because she had been watching for too long, Haitang noticed that Jiang Tunan seemed distracted, and she became even more angry.

"Miss Jiang, don't just stand there, change your clothes and go to the hall. You are a dependent, do you really want your master to wait for you?"

Haitang turned around and walked out the door, muttering as she walked.

"It's because of you that the Xiao Mansion is in chaos. How could you dream of marrying into the Xiao Mansion?"

Jiang Tunan:?

The original owner actually came to Kyoto just to save his life. Besides, Liu Zhuang only asked the Xiao family to save the original owner's life at that time and never mentioned the engagement. Everything was said by the people in the Xiao family themselves.

When Chunhua heard Haitang's words, she immediately took out a new dress.

"Miss, we are in such a hurry today that there is nothing in the house. This dress is new and I have never worn it before. Please put on this dress and go see the master and mistress first."

Jiang Tunan looked at the clothes in Chunhua's hand. It was an ordinary laurel green chest-length skirt. Although it was not as good as the one on Haitang, it was much better than the coarse linen dress she was wearing.

So Jiang Tunan changed his clothes with the help of Chunhua, and then he and Chunhua followed Haitang to the flower hall of the Xiao Mansion.
