When Cai'er reached out to Shanling's arm again, Shanling finally knew how to resist, "Stop pinching me, you've pinched me five times. I tell you, it hurts, it really hurts. You are not dreaming, this is real." Shanling whispered, covering his arm.

Su Qing was actually the second daughter of the Huainan Marquis's mansion, the eldest daughter of the first wife, how could this be possible? She had actually worked in Qin Garden for two years. She also worked as a concubine in the back room, carrying buckets of water every day, not only to the fourth daughter, but also to the second-class maids, and sometimes even the third-class maids had to be ordered to work.

Thinking back to when Jiaolian and Yuanyue were still around, they would be unhappy with Su Qing because the water was delivered late or because it was cold.

"Chuan'er, what do you think is going on? Just now, Madam Kong said that Su Qing was taken away by her mother, and the second young lady just came back from the nunnery. Isn't this a lie? We have lived in the same room with Su Qing for so long, how could it be possible..."

"Cai'er, would you like to be a maid in the young lady's room?" Chuan'er turned around and asked Cai'er.

"it is good."

"Shan Ling, you don't have to be bullied by others anymore. You can also order the little girl to work for you. Are you happy?"

"Then when I go to the small kitchen next time, can I ask Sister Hong to cook my favorite food for me, and she won't dare to get angry?"

"Correct."

"That's good, of course, that's right." Shan Ling nodded heavily.

"So, Su Qing was redeemed by her mother, and we were sent by the Madam to the Second Miss. From now on, the Second Miss will be our master. As long as we serve the Second Miss well, we will have our day to shine in the future. Do you understand?"

Shan Ling still looked puzzled, but Cai Er nodded, "I understand. Our future good life depends on Su, no, on the Second Miss. Shan Ling, no matter who tries to get you to say something in the future, you are not allowed to talk about Su Qing's past. Just say you don't remember and have forgotten that person. Our Second Miss came back because of a blessing, do you understand?"

Shan Ling was a stubborn person who took longer to think about things than others. He finally reacted and nodded, "I understand."

Chuan Er patted his face and said, "Okay, from today on, we are the eldest maids of the first lady of Huainan Marquis's mansion. We must behave ourselves and not embarrass the second lady."

Mother Kong's voice came from the door, saying that the second young lady is back.

Several people hurriedly lined up and watched Su Qing come in. Wang had redecorated the west room of Shanzhi Hall. To say it was redecorated was just to change the dressing table, replace the old green screen with a pink pattern, and change the curtains, making the room lively all of a sudden.

"This is Madam Kong. You all know her. From today on, you will be the housekeeper in my room." These past few days, Su Qing has been trying hard to think about the tone of voice and behavior of the young ladies in the ancient novels that she had read in her previous life. She doesn't know whether they are standard or not, but it is true that she will not give people much fault.

Chuan'er was the first to greet Mother Kong, and the other two followed suit.

"From now on, we will work together with only one thing in mind, which is to serve the Second Young Miss well. Only when the Second Young Miss is well, can we all be well." Mother Kong was in high spirits because of good things happening. Thinking that when she walks in the Meng family yard again tomorrow, others will look at her with envy, she feels full of strength.

Chuan'er responded while turning to Su Qing with a smile on her face, "The servants greet the Second Young Lady."

Cai'er quickly followed suit when she heard Chuan'er say this, and Shanling followed suit. Seeing the three people about to kneel down and kowtow to her, Su Qing quickly reached out to pull them, but Mother Kong gently pulled her sleeve. Su Qing turned around and saw Mother Kong shaking her head. At this time, Chuan'er and the others had already knelt down and were kowtowing.

Su Qing sighed. This was the hierarchy in ancient times. He decided not to be an exception and should just follow the crowd.

Watching several people kowtow to him, Su Qing smiled and said, "Get up, we will live here temporarily. We will decide where to move to in the future. How to live and how to work on weekdays will be arranged by Mother Kong. Just one thing, do not disturb the people serving Mother in the yard."

Several people agreed. Mother Kong followed Su Qing to the side room to serve. Su Qing waved her hand and said, "No need. You can go and relocate their place first. Just let Cai'er follow me. Let Chuan'er take care of the night tonight."

------

Cai Er just stood there blankly, watching Su Qing take off her coat. Su Qing turned around and looked at her like that, and said with a smile, "Don't you recognize me?"

"I don't dare to recognize you. Chuan'er just told us that Qing'er was taken away and you are the second lady, and asked me to forget the past. But, in my heart, you are Qing'er, the Su Qing who lived with me in the human trafficker's house for many days and ate one coarse flour bun for three meals." Cai'er's eyes were a little red.

Su Qing put the clothes on the rack and took Cai'er's hand. "Yes, I am Qing'er. I will always be your good sister, otherwise I would not have asked you to come here. In fact, according to my current situation, it would be better to transfer a few unfamiliar girls or girls I have never met before. It is precisely because I cherish our friendship that I let you come here."

Cai'er nodded, "I know, Chuan'er said that only when you become a big girl can you marry better."

The sentimental words that Su Qing had just prepared were completely wiped out by Cai'er's words.

"That's right, but Cai'er, I'm afraid we can't joke around like we did before, especially in front of outsiders. You have to remember that. My change in status won't affect our friendship at all. Don't worry, I will find the best husband for you. How about that?"

Cai'er smiled and took Su Qing's hand, "I want the most handsome one."

"Okay, let's find the most handsome one." Su Qing clapped her hands.

Cai'er leaned her head on Su Qing's shoulder, "Just this once, this is the last time I will lean on you like this. Don't worry, I won't ask you why you became like this, but I am really happy for you. From now on, I will be your best servant, and you can rest assured to leave everything to me. Qing'er, I will call you this again. From tomorrow on, you will be the Second Miss, and I will be your maid, the most loyal maid."

Su Qing's tears flowed down, and she held Cai'er's face, "Good Cai'er, we will always be sisters. Believe me, I will never treat you as a servant. There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

"What are you talking about? Please give your instructions, Miss." Cai'er bowed and tilted her head.

"Originally I wanted you and Chuan'er to be my first-class maids, but I just came back from Songhe Garden, and my grandmother gave Sister Dongmei to me. Now that she is here, it is impossible for her to be second-class, so you or Chuan'er can only suffer a little. I just thought about it, Chuan'er is..." Su Qing was thinking about what to say next.

"I know. After all, Chuan'er has been in the mansion for so many years, and she can see the difference between good and bad things better than I can. More importantly, Chuan'er has her own rules in mind, and it is best for the young lady if she becomes the first-class lady."

Su Qing held Cai'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, your monthly allowance and other benefits are the same as Chuan'er's. I will only give you more. When Dongmei gets married or there are other situations in the future, I will give you more."

"Okay, I'll wait. Sister Dongmei is much older than me." After saying that, she showed her heartless smile again.

Chuan'er turned around and asked Su Qing while making the bed, "Second Miss, do you want to rest now or wait a while?"

Su Qing was scalding her feet, and her habit made her enjoy the process. Just now, Chuan'er wanted to wash her feet, but she refused. She was not a real ancient person, and she was not used to some personal services.

She really couldn't understand these ladies. Why did they need help from others when they could do it themselves? Some things were fine, but when it came to some personal or even private matters, how could they just let it go?

For example, when she first came to work as a second-class servant beside Meng Qi, she actually saw Mother Liu changing Meng Qi's menstrual belt. This really shattered her three views.

"I'll go to bed after I take a shower. I have to go to the ancestral hall tomorrow. Mother Guo told me a lot and I'm afraid I'll forget it."

"No, you, no, you have a good memory."

Su Qing stared at Chuan'er's back as he was making the bed carefully, and said softly, "Chuan'er, don't you have anything to ask?"

Chuan'er paused for a moment and then continued, "I wanted to ask, I have a lot to ask, but now I suddenly feel it's unnecessary. You are still you, and I am still my servant. Although the title has changed, I believe some things will never change."
