Seeing that Baiyin still looked unhappy, Chuntao said, "You should continue to rest."

Baiyin had slept too much before, and now he was not sleepy at all, so he said: "I have rested too much in the past few days. I am very energetic now and don't want to rest at all."

She thought for a while and said, "Why don't you tell me what happened in the past few days?" The original owner had been sick for several days and had no idea what was happening outside.

Chuntao saw that Baiyin looked very energetic with her eyes open, so she stopped urging her and agreed to her request.

Chun Tao said, "There's nothing much to talk about in our dormitory. We just work every day and nothing else happens." After a pause, she continued, "Except for one thing, that is, Lin Mei recognized Aunt Xu as her godmother."

After listening to Chuntao's words, Baiyin matched the names she said with the people in his head one by one.

Lin Mei was their roommate and also a maid who swept the imperial garden. However, she was very ambitious and was not content to be just a small maid. She kept jumping up and down to try to be transferred.

And Madam Xu was one of the madams in charge of these little palace maids, and she was considered to be very powerful.

Lin Mei actually hooked up with Aunt Xu, so she must be quite capable. Who knows, she might be transferred away someday.

Baiyin thought so and said it out loud.

But Chuntao smiled disdainfully when she heard her words and said, "What kind of ability is that? She might lose both her wife and her army."

Baiyin was a little curious when he heard this, so he kept his eyes on Chuntao, wanting her to answer his questions as soon as he saw her.

Seeing her staring at her, Chun Tao softened her heart and said, "Although Aunt Xu has some power, she has many goddaughters, some of whom are at least thirty if not fifty. It is basically impossible to find a good future by relying on Aunt Xu.

Besides, Aunt Xu didn't take in goddaughters out of affection, she just wanted to deceive these young palace maids and cheat them of their money. It's not easy to be Aunt Xu's goddaughter, each of her goddaughters has to give her half of their monthly salary every month."

So that's how it is, but the original owner had never heard of this news.

Bai Yin asked curiously: "Doesn't Lin Mei know about this news?"

Chun Tao shook her head and said, "She probably doesn't know. She knows very little about this matter. If she knew, she would never acknowledge Madam Xu as her goddaughter, because all of Madam Xu's promises were false."

Bai Yin asked: "Then how did you know about this?"

Chun Tao whispered, "Actually, I know this happened by chance. I overheard a young palace maid who was deceived by Madam Xu talking to someone else."

Baiyin didn't ask her why she didn't remind Lin Mei if she knew about it.

The main reason is that Lin Mei has a bad temper. She often dislikes Baiyin and Chuntao, and is sarcastic to them. Sometimes they even quarrel. Anyway, the relationship between the two sides is very bad. It’s not to say that they are incompatible, but they also dislike each other.

Chuntao would be so excited about Lin Mei's misfortune that she would not even have time to applaud and celebrate, so how could she possibly remind her?

Furthermore, Lin Mei is a very selfish person and will not listen to other people's advice. And given their current relationship, if Chuntao reminds her, she will not only not believe it, but may even think that Chuntao said these things to her on purpose and does not want her to be well.

So, Chuntao would not do such a thankless thing even if their relationship was not that bad.

In this palace, the most taboo thing is to meddle in other people's affairs. If you meddle in something you shouldn't, you may die at any time.

Bai Yin asked, "Mrs. Xu has deceived so many people, but no one has heard of her. Is there no one who has exposed her?"

Chun Tao shook her head and said, "No, although Aunt Xu is not a big shot in the palace, she is already a powerful figure to little palace maids like us. Those who were cheated of their money had no choice but to accept the loss and dared not resist at all, for fear that Aunt Xu would retaliate against them. After all, Aunt Xu is in charge of little palace maids like us."

She paused and continued, "Not only that, they have to continue to hand over half of their monthly salary to Madam Xu.

These people dare not speak out even though they were deceived. Actually, it’s not that they dare not speak out. Some people just don’t speak out on purpose because they want to see other people suffer the same fate as them. Why are they deceived? How can others be fine? These people have these thoughts. Anyway, if they can’t be fine, then others can’t be fine either.”

Bai Yin understood what he heard and asked, "We are not managed by only Aunt Xu, right? The other maids can also watch this situation and do nothing."

This shouldn't be the case. Madam Xu is cheating people out of money on such a large scale, it's impossible for the other madams to remain indifferent, unless they are in cahoots with each other.

After hearing this question, Chun Tao lowered her voice and said, "It is said that other maids also do this kind of thing. Moreover, the money that Madam Xu gets from the young palace maids will also be distributed to other maids."

Chuntao's words confirmed Baiyin's guess. Sure enough, only when they become a group of interests will they not betray each other.

As expected, the lowest class in this palace are just little palace maids like them.

Just as she was thinking this, Chun Tao continued, "But the maids here are pretty good."

Bai Yin immediately looked at her when he heard that.

Chun Tao went on to say: "At least the maids here only take money from their 'goddaughters', not from us, and they only take half.

I heard that some young eunuchs had to give all their money to the eunuchs above them, and it was not just half, some had to give 70% to 80%. And the living environment of those young eunuchs was much worse than ours, they were often beaten and bullied if they didn't pay.

We palace maids are much better than those young eunuchs. At least we can't hit people openly. If the maids want to punish us, they can only find excuses or trip us up secretly."

After listening to Chuntao's words, Baiyin felt deeply that this palace was indeed very dangerous, and people at the bottom of society were destined to be bullied.

It seems that if they want to live a better life, they have to climb up. You know, in the palace, little maids like them are the least valuable and most likely to lose their lives.

Many times, you didn't make any mistakes, but were implicated by others, and your death was in vain. Or, an order from above can kill you.

These are the experiences she gained based on the news she heard from the original owner on a daily basis, as well as the many palace fighting dramas and novels she watched.

It's cruel, but it's true.

From what Chuntao said, it can be seen that she is well-informed. From this aspect, the original owner is much inferior. She only knows the things around her, and Chuntao told her everything else.

The original owner was twelve years old this year, and had entered the palace not long ago. After learning the rules, she was assigned to the Imperial Garden as a maid to sweep the floor. She had not been on the job for long, so it was normal for her not to know a lot of information.

But this is just generally speaking. Chuntao is only one year older than the original owner. She entered the palace at the same time as the original owner, and was also assigned to be a palace maid sweeping the imperial garden at the same time. As a result, she is so well-informed.

Chuntao is a person with strong communication skills, so she knows so much information.

After both sides digested the news for a while, Chuntao told Baiyin another piece of news.

"I heard that the palace will be watching the talent show soon."

When Bai Yin heard the word "talent show", she immediately thought of Lin Fuqiu who had been reborn. She must have entered the palace through this talent show.

It seemed that the palace was about to become lively. Although the palace had always been restless, with the reborn Lin Fuqiu about to arrive, the peace maintained in the palace would surely be broken.

You have to know that Lin Fuqiu came here for revenge. Except for her sister Lin Furong, other people in the palace have tried to make things difficult for her!

With the addition of the new beauties entering the palace, the palace will surely be bustling for a while.

Chun Tao was still sighing: "I wonder how many ladies will enter the palace this time? The palace will definitely be very lively after a while."

Baiyin complained in her heart, of course, she was sure that it was extremely lively beyond ordinary people.
