Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

In the main hall, Xu Ruolan told everyone in the Xu family about her experiences over the years, and naturally asked about Dong'er.

Upon learning that Dong'er was not sent to the south, but was imprisoned in the city by that wretched man, Xu Ruolan hugged Dong'er and cried inconsolably.

Dong'er grew up with her since childhood. Although they were master and servant, they were as close as sisters. How could she not be heartbroken when her sister suffered such harm?

"Miss, don't cry. Dong'er is fine. I'm already very satisfied to see you again. But it's a pity that Dong'er is already in this state and can no longer serve you." Dong'er said softly to her young lady with tears in her eyes.

"But seeing that the young lady is living well now, the uncle can treat you well, and the young lady and the young master are also smart and cute, Dong'er is happy for the young lady!"

Hearing this, Xu Ruolan pursed her lips and looked at the person in front of her with pity, "Dong'er, what nonsense are you talking about? You are my personal maid, you were in the past and you will be in the future. Are you willing to stay in the Liu family and continue to accompany me?"

"Miss!?" Dong'er couldn't suppress the joy in her eyes when she heard that.

Not only is her face disfigured, she is also a disabled person. Even if she returns to the Xu family, she can only work as a servant on the farm or in a remote courtyard.

But thinking of her own face and legs, Dong'er's eyes dimmed and she shook her head gently, "Miss, I am now an ugly and useless woman. Staying with you will only bring shame to you."

"Why do you say that about yourself? If I tell you to stay, then you should stay. And Daya, even though she is a year younger than Xuer, she can still be Xuer's errand girl!"

Xu Ruolan turned to her mother and said, "Mother, Dong'er is my personal maid. If she hadn't stayed to stop those people, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to wait for you. I want to keep her in the Liu family as my dowry maid. Is that okay?"

"What's wrong with that? Dong'er is your maid. I have no objection to you keeping her by your side!" Old Madam Xu said lovingly.

She has always known how loyal Dong'er is to her daughter. How could the old lady not think of what Dong'er could think of? If she goes back with them, she won't have to go to the farm, but she can only be a servant. Although it is considered stable, it is better to stay with her daughter.

"Thank you, mother!" Xu Ruolan said happily, and then pulled the stunned Dong'er over, "Dong'er, did you hear me? You will stay in the Liu family and continue to accompany me in the future!"

Dong'er finally came back to her senses and knelt down in tears of joy, "Thank you, Madam. Thank you for your grace! Thank you, Miss, for your love!"

When Daya saw this, she also knelt down like her mother and imitated the language to kowtow and thank her.

"Everyone, get up, the ground is cold! Take good care of the young lady, young lady, and young master in the future!"

"Yes, I will save you the trouble!"

Everyone was almost done chatting and the workshop was closed. When Liu Xiumei learned that her brother's wife and her family had arrived, she hurried over with her daughter to greet them.

Liu Laishun took his youngest son to the old house and told his parents about his stay in Liujia Village. He has not returned yet, so he must have stayed in the old house for dinner.

Everyone in the Xu family has learned about Liu Xiumei's family from Xu Ruolan, and they have a good impression of this sister-in-law, and they all have a great time talking to each other.

Aunt Lin came to ask if the meal was served, and Xu Hean went downstairs with his wife and children and Dong'er and her daughter.

Since there were few masters in the house, there was no distinction between men and women, and they all sat together and had a lively meal.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before Xu Ruolan took her daughter, her parents and her eldest brother to the East Courtyard.

Fortunately, the room had been cleaned before, and Aunt Lin cleaned up the rooms while everyone was chatting. She also asked someone to prepare hot water.

"Dad, Mom, and Big Brother, go take a hot bath and rest for a while. We can talk about other things later."

"Okay, go and do your own thing first. Your wet nurse and her family are here!" Old Madam Xu said lovingly.

"Grandpa and grandma, uncle, I'll let Huanxi and Qiaoyu wait here. Just tell them if you need anything. We are familiar with Grandpa An and Uncle Huairen at home. You can go for a walk after you have rested!" Liu Xu said in a crisp voice, holding the old lady's hand.

"Okay, grandpa and grandma, please listen to Baoer!" Old Madam Xu touched her granddaughter's hand, her words full of doting.

The mother and daughter didn't stay long and left.

Xu Hean's family followed their master into the east courtyard, leaving the west wing vacant.

Xu Ruolan originally wanted Dong'er and her daughter to live with her, but Dong'er refused.

"Miss, that's where the young master and distinguished guests of the mansion live. How can Dong'er live there? I can just go to the back room!"

Liu Xu: "Mom, let Aunt Dong and the others live with Qiaoyu first! Uncle Zhu and the others are still here, let them build a kang in the previous embroidery room, add some furniture, and let Aunt Dong and the others live there later? This way it will be close to mom."

Xu Ruolan thought about it, felt it was feasible, and agreed.

"Then you two should go back to the room and wash up. As for Daya and Xu'er, let Daya follow Qiaoyun and run errands for you in the future!"

"Well, Qiao Yun, you should take Daya with you from now on...Mom, Aunt Dong, can I change her name?" There is also Daya in Liujia Village, and it would be awkward to meet her later.

Xu Ruolan looked at Dong'er, and Dong'er immediately smiled and said, "It's her blessing to be given a name by the young lady!"

Liu Xu tilted her head and thought for a while, "I have Qiao Yun, Qiao Yu, and Huan Xi... From now on, you can call yourself Ru Yi! Just like them, you should take my last name."

"Ruyi, which means everything goes as planned. This is a good name!" Xu Ruolan nodded with a smile.

"No... no, Ruyi, why don't you thank the young lady for the name." Dong'er looked happy.

"Thank you Miss Ruyi for giving me the name!" Wu Daya, no, it was Liu Ruyi who thanked her in a daze.

Although the little girl didn't quite understand it, she thought this name was much better than her original name, and a smile appeared on her face.

Liu Xu saw it and said, "Hey, Ruyi, you're smiling? Do you like the name I gave you?"

Little Ruyi nodded shyly.

"Oh, mother, I suddenly realized that my maid's name is better than mine. Do you want to change it for me?" Liu Xu suddenly said.

"Puchi, that's what your father named it. Why don't you write to him and ask him?" Xu Ruolan said with a smile, and then comforted her daughter, "It's not like the willow catkins blowing in the wind, free and unrestrained, mother thinks it's good!"

"Mom, are you sure my dad didn't suddenly think of the willow catkins by the river?"

Liu Xu expressed her disbelief. Her father was illiterate before he met her mother. Now he was at most a literate man and had no such talent at all.

"Well, okay, let your Aunt Dong and Ruyi go and have a rest. Mom is going to go to the workshop to check it out!" After saying that, she ignored her daughter, told Dong'er and her daughter to go and have a rest, and left.

But the steps of leaving felt a bit like a fleeing escape.

Liu Xu looked at her mother's back...

So, her name was given by her father because he remembered the catkins by the river, right?
