I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

After receiving the gifts sent by the eldest girl and the prince, he talked to Ding Xiang and Cheng Bin.

Cheng Yu took his grandmother and left in a carriage.

When Cheng Yu came, she prepared a carriage herself. Now she can drive skillfully. It's just like in modern times. She can drive by herself without asking others for help. She can drive wherever she wants to go.

Cheng Bin and Ding Xiang walked them to the back door.

Dingxiang, sent by the eldest girl, and Cheng Bin, sent by the prince, were there. The nanny at the back door checked and let them go without saying anything else.

Seeing people leaving, it was Cheng Bin's sister and grandmother. Dingxiang turned to look at Cheng Bin and said some comforting words.

"Don't be too sad. It may not be a bad thing for Yu'er to go out and make a living. Look, your grandmother is now living outside, which is much better than sending her to the farm in the future."

Cheng Bin nodded and said, "I'm not sad, I'm happy for my sister."

"Miss Lilac, thank you for speaking up for my sister and grandmother today."

"It's just something that happens to me. I wanted to thank you for the cakes you gave me a few days ago."

The two of them were talking, each with different thoughts.

Cheng Bin was embarrassed to say more. Ding Xiang saw that he, a grown man, didn't say anything. As a woman, how could I take the initiative to say anything? I think you are a good person.

We walked together for a while, but didn't know what to say.

In the end, Cheng Bin went to the prince's courtyard, and Ding Xiang went to Yinlan Garden, and each of them responded to their masters.

Cheng Yu took his grandmother out of the palace and prepared a sumptuous meal that night.

He called Lotus and Peach to come over.

The two little girls followed Cheng Yu in calling grandma, and Cheng Yu also told grandma that although they were still slaves, they had experienced life and death together, so they could not be treated as slaves.

After drinking, Nanny Cheng was a little tipsy.

"Sister Yu, I originally thought that your residence was a small, shabby courtyard, but I didn't expect it to be such a nice, large mansion. We servants can now live the same life as our masters."

Cheng Yu looked at the old lady.

She is really happy tonight.

"Grandma, you will have a good life in the future. In two days, I will take you to the temple to burn incense and visit the temple fair."

"From now on, I will be responsible for making money, and you will be responsible for my retirement."

Nanny Cheng was in a very good mood.

"I gave birth to five children, three daughters and two sons. I didn't expect that I would end up with my granddaughter. I am happy that you were not raised in vain. If I had known that you were so filial, I would have spent more money to keep you by my side instead of having you become a maid."

Nanny Cheng thought that Cheng Yu would care about this.

Perhaps the original owner cared about this, but he also knew that as a slave, he was just a floor tile that could be moved wherever he was needed.

I have no choice.

After drinking too much, the old lady went back to her room, lay down and fell asleep, snoring.

Cheng Yu went out and saw He Hua cleaning the table.

"We'll do what we have to do from now on. If the old lady gets angry, tell me and don't argue with her."

Lotus smiled softly, "Look at what Miss Yu said. We have all been following her for a living. She is kind-hearted and treats us well. We cannot be ignorant. Don't worry, we know what to do with the old lady."

Taozi also followed up with a sentence.

"Don't worry, Miss Yu, we will treat the old lady with respect and dignity."

Cheng Yu did not ask Lotus and Xiaotao to respect the old lady, but she was worried that the old lady had a hot temper and that she had just become a master from a servant, so she would bully Lotus and Taozi. Even if it could not be said to be bullying, she would say some unpleasant words, which would be enough to make Lotus and Taozi very angry.

Give them a vaccination in advance.

Of course, if grandma really went too far, Cheng Yu would not just ignore it.

After saying that, He Hua urged Cheng Yu to go and rest as well.

She and Taozi were busy cleaning up the things on the table, and Taozi also brought hot water to Cheng Yu.

"Girl, wash up and put it aside. I'll bring it out tomorrow morning."

Cheng Yu didn't need to be served when she used water at night, and she didn't like anyone following her in the house. Taozi was used to it, so she put down the water and left.

Cheng Yu stretched his waist and hummed.

After the door was closed, she entered the system room, washed up, and had some snacks.

***

It has been half a month since Cheng Yu took his grandmother out of the house. Originally he wanted to let her enjoy her retirement, but the old lady couldn't sit still, so Cheng Yu asked Taozi to go to the braised meat shop with the old lady to do business.

After the Lantern Festival, she spent money to buy the shop and the house deed was in her hands.

This was the first shop Cheng Yu bought, and she was very happy.

The old lady went to work in the braised meat shop. Cheng Yu said that she earned half of the money she and her grandmother would get, except for the monthly allowance for Taozi. The grandmother was unwilling to do so, saying that it was Cheng Yu's shop and she should just consider her work as helping her granddaughter.

Cheng Yu insisted on giving money, so the old lady told her to do as she pleased.

At worst, she wouldn't want the money and would leave it all to Cheng Yu as a dowry.

The old lady has been very fond of going to the braised meat shop recently, and the neighbors around her have become familiar with her. The old lady is not doing business at all, she is simply making friends under the guise of doing business.

The aunt in this family, the sister-in-law in that family, and Mrs. Wang from the next door family who is about the same age as her, have now been completely disciplined by grandma.

Because she had taken care of a child before, people outside said that Cheng Yu was a young widow whose husband had died.

Later, some people said that the widow's dead husband came back, became rich, kicked his wife away, and took Cheng Yusheng's little daughter away. How pitiful.

Look at how widespread this rumor is.

After knowing this, the old lady called Cheng Yu over that night.

After asking clearly, I found out that it was because the Lu family was in trouble and the young lady was secretly taken away. They were afraid of being discovered, so they specifically called her Cheng Yu's child. They were afraid that people would ask about her husband, so they said that he went to the battlefield and died in the battle...

It turns out that you can’t lie. Once you tell a lie, you have to explain it with countless lies.

"Grandma, you should believe me now, right? What those people outside say is nonsense."

"So, Sister Yu, let me ask you, have you not been taken advantage of by anyone?"

Cheng Yu didn't understand what her grandmother meant. After a pause, she realized that she was asking her whether she had accompanied the Second Master of the Lu Family at the Lu Family and lost her virginity.

"My granddaughter is still wearing her hair in a girl's bun. What do you think? You still don't believe what my granddaughter is like."

Nanny Cheng immediately burst into laughter.

"That's great, that's great. Madam Li across the street has a son who is a scholar. She always tells me that you look good. I thought I couldn't marry you, but now it's a good match."

"When you become a scholar's wife in the future, our family will be heading for a better life."

Cheng Yu had no idea that her grandmother asked so many questions because she was looking for a husband for her.

Cheng Yu was not happy, but a little worried. She was afraid that her grandmother would make too much of a fuss and attract the matchmaker to come and get noticed by Zhao Shiyan. What would she do if that guy got jealous and did something inappropriate?
