The Divine Doctor and the Crazy Concubine: My princess is very cool

Hongxiu turned her head away, but Chun'er still looked at her and continued speaking.

"Sister Hongxiu, to be honest, my parents died a long time ago, and I had no choice but to become a slave. You are so pretty, your family must love you very much. How could they bear to let you become a slave?"

This sentence touched Hongxiu's heart. She came here to be a slave because her family sold her here. Just because she was a girl, her parents had to support a younger brother who was ten years younger than her, so they sold her to another man when she was only eight years old. She went through a lot of twists and turns before she could be a slave in the Shangshu Mansion. In the past ten years, she learned a lot of ways to survive, which allowed her to serve the Second Young Lady all the time.

Hongxiu was dazed and didn't say anything. Although her parents sold her over the past ten years, they still kept in touch with her. Every month when the silver was distributed, her parents would come to her to ask for money and only leave a little change for her. She didn't save much money in the past ten years, and she didn't even dare to think about hiring two maids to serve her when she had saved enough money.

"Sister Hongxiu, to be honest, I envy Aunt Lin very much. Although the status of a concubine is low, she is a concubine of a wealthy family after all. She doesn't have to do these rough work, and she has people to serve her. Even though Aunt Lin lives a miserable life, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she has people to serve her. I envy her so much. It's a pity that I am destined to be a maid in this life, alas." Chun'er shook her head, got up, scooped hot water from the pot and put it into the bucket.

Hongxiu was still sitting there blankly, and she listened to Chun'er's words.

An idea was born in her mind, but it was quickly extinguished.

She had seen the Madam's methods before, so she couldn't have any improper thoughts and should just do her job well.

She carried a bucket of water and went to Shangguan Qingyun's room.

Shangguan Qingyun took a nice bath and felt refreshed. This thing called soap was really useful and made his body very clean.

It was getting dark, and Shangguan Jin should be back by now. Shangguan Qingyun took out a piece of sandalwood-scented soap and asked Hongxiu to deliver it to her father. She originally wanted to let Chun'er do it, but the last time her father saw Chun'er's face, he showed great disgust. In order to prevent her father from losing his temper, she chose to let Hongxiu do it.

Hongxiu took the sandalwood soap and went to Shangguan Jin's study.

Today, Shangguan Jin accepted the invitation of his colleagues and drank two glasses of sake, and he reeked of alcohol.

Shangguan Jin didn't drink too much, he was just a little tipsy, and sat on the stool in the study with a dizzy head.

Hongxiu went to the door of the study, knocked and came in.

Shangguan Jin rubbed his eyes and saw that it was a maid. He was wondering whose maid this was.

"You are... the maid beside Qingyun, named Hongxiu, right?" Shangguan Jin asked.

"Yes, my name is Hongxiu." Hongxiu replied with her head down.

Hongxiu knew the rules. The mistress didn't like the master to look at the maids in the mansion, so the maids had to lower their heads when they saw the master!

"Raise your head." Shangguan Jin was a little displeased when he saw Hongxiu lowering her head.

When Hongxiu heard this, she raised her head but still looked down.

"What are you doing here?"

"My Lord, the Second Miss bought some soap for bathing today. She specially picked out the sandalwood scent that my Lord likes, and asked me to bring it to you."

When Shangguan Jin heard that it was sent by Qingyun, he looked at what Hongxiu was holding in her hand.

"Well, Qingyun is filial, take it."

Hongxiu stepped forward respectfully and handed over the soap with both hands.

When Hongxiu came closer, Shangguan Jin could see her face clearly. Why didn't he notice this maid before? Hongxiu was good-looking. Although not stunningly beautiful, she had fair skin and a pure look. Moreover, Hongxiu was eighteen years old this year, which was the best age for a girl. She had grown everything she should have grown.

There was a hint of ambiguity in Shangguan Jin's eyes when he looked at Hongxiu.

Shangguan Jin is of this type of character. Once he drinks, he starts thinking about all kinds of garbage.

He took the soap from Hongxiu's hand and touched her hand. This scared Hongxiu so much that she immediately retracted her hand and took two steps back!

Shangguan Jin looked at Hongxiu's panic-stricken expression and put the soap under his nose and smelled it.

"Well, it tastes good. How do I use it?" Shangguan Jin asked.

"Master, when you take a bath, just rub your body with soap and then rinse with clean water."

Shangguan Jin put down the soap, grabbed Hongxiu's hand, touched it, patted it, and said.

"Well, I understand. Yun'er is thoughtful. Go back and tell Yun'er that your father likes it very much."

Hongxiu pulled her hand away, bowed, answered yes, and then went back.

On the way back, Hongxiu's heart was beating wildly and her face was flushed red. The master's behavior today really scared her. Fortunately, she came alone. If the lady knew what happened tonight, she would definitely skin her alive.

Hongxiu calmed down and returned to Shangguan Qingyun's courtyard. When she returned, she saw the second young lady chatting with the lady. She did not show anything unusual.

At night, Hongxiu slept on the maid's bed in Shangguan Qingyun's room. Today was her turn to keep watch. Shangguan Qingyun had already fallen asleep, and her slight breathing sounds could be heard. Hongxiu couldn't fall asleep at all, as all she could think of was the look the master gave her today.

That look was extremely ambiguous, as if he wanted to do something to her.

Hongxiu really couldn't sleep, so she sat up.

The moon was very big and the moonlight shone into the house, so everything inside could be seen clearly.

The house was richly decorated, and all the items were worth a fortune. Many of them were bought by the prince, and some were added to the palace.

For example, the value of that pair of blue and white porcelain is so great that even if you work as a maid for three lifetimes, you may not be able to afford it.

Hongxiu tiptoed to Shangguan Qingyun's bed. Shangguan Qingyun always had a good sleep, and she was very tired during the day and slept even more deeply at night, so she didn't notice Hongxiu walking around in the room.

Hongxiu reached out and touched the bedding beside the bed. It was soft and silky.

This is silk material and is extremely expensive. The best bedding Hongxiu has ever slept on was the maid's bed in the young lady's room, which was made of cotton.

If she was not on night watch, she would sleep in the maid's room. Her bedding was just made of coarse cloth stuffed with cotton, and it had several patches. She didn't even have a bed, just a big kang where several maids squeezed together.

She looked at the sleeping Shangguan Qingyun. The difference between people is so huge!

Some people are born with a life of luxury, while others still have to worry about how to get enough food and clothing.

Some people are born to be superior, while others are born to be slaves!

She has always been obedient to the Second Miss and did whatever she asked her to do. Why did the Second Miss sometimes guard against her? Why did the Second Miss take Chun'er as her personal maid? Isn't it enough to have her alone?

Why? Why is her life so miserable? Her parents sold her out, and her master would beat and scold her at every turn. We are all human beings, so why should she be like this, inferior to others?

Hongxiu narrowed her eyes, looked at the sleeping Shangguan Qingyun, then gently returned to her bed and lay down.
