Shengjing Noble

"Sixth Miss, please don't blame me. After all, this man wants to move up, and I don't want to be a second-class maid by your side forever, and I can't marry the person I love."

After she finished speaking, before Su Lanyin could react, Cuizhu rushed over and slapped Liwen loudly in the face.

"How dare you betray the young lady, you bastard? I'll beat you to death, you heartless beast! The young lady has treated us like sisters these years. Although you are a second-class maid, your food, clothing and daily expenses are no worse than those of the young ladies of wealthy families. The bracelets on your hands and the hairpins on your hair were all gifts from the young lady. How can you be so ungrateful!"

Cuizhu was heartbroken, with tears of grief and anger in her eyes.

But Ke Liwen remained unmoved. Instead, she covered her face and glared at her with hatred in her eyes.

"I just want to have a better life. What's wrong with me? The Sixth Miss is just a concubine's daughter. She can only have a first-class maid by her side. The Fifth Miss is different. She is a legitimate daughter. Now that she is backing me up, I have nothing to be afraid of from you!"

As she spoke, she stood up from the ground with disdain in her eyes.

"you……"

Cuizhu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Su Lanyin's cold voice.

"Okay, don't say any more."

"Girl..." Cuizhu's eyes were filled with reluctance and anger, but she could only shut up.

Su Lanyin's slender fingertips tapped the armrest again and again, her eyes dark and unclear.

In her previous life, Liwen wanted to marry the housekeeper's son, Acheng, but she knew that the man had evil intentions, so she tried to stop him in every way possible.

Unexpectedly, Liwen held a grudge against her for this and helped Su Lanxin to conspire to murder her.

In this life, she will never interfere in the cause and effect of others and bear their karma again, and she should let Liwen get what she wanted and follow her original destiny.

She looked indifferent, and there was not even any anger of betrayal in her eyes. She was incredibly calm.

"Who else wants to leave?"

Su Lanyin spoke calmly, without even looking at Liwen, as if she was some kind of trash and insignificant.

After waiting for a while to make sure no one else stood up, she continued speaking.

"We were master and servant, so we should part ways amicably. Cuizhu, give them this month's salary."

Cuizhu gritted her teeth. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to obey her girl's orders.

The servants who received the monthly silver left Suiyuexuan happily, as if they had escaped from some devil's cave.

The courtyard that was full of people just now now has only two maids and three servants left. They all served in Suiyuexuan when she entered the mansion and must have received favors from her mother.

Su Lanyin carefully identified and confirmed that there was no Liu Ruyan before she said, "The monthly salary of those who stay will be doubled, and you will all serve in the inner courtyard from now on. But if you have second thoughts and I catch you, I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death!"

The five men immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "We slaves swear to be loyal to you till death!"

She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get up, Madam Li, and have someone bring the pawnbroker over this afternoon."

"Yes." Nanny Li nodded.

"You all leave, A'mo stay."

Su Lanyin sipped her tea leisurely, her eyes and brows filled with an unfathomable coldness.

A'mo walked up to her and knelt on one knee.

Putting down the teacup, she gently wiped her lips with a handkerchief before speaking.

"Amo, I have something for you to do."

Ah Mo bowed his head and said respectfully: "I will obey your orders, young lady."

"From today on, I will arrange for you to be my fourth brother's follower. Within ten days, you must find a way to become his most trusted servant. Can you do it?"

A'Mo paused for a moment and quickly responded: "Only a slave can do it!"

"After the task is completed, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"I will do the work for you, young lady, without asking for any reward."

Su Lanyin sneered, her eyes misty with coldness: "Oh, I dare not use someone who doesn't ask for a reward."

A'Mo was startled and lowered his head even deeper.

"Yes!"

……

into the night.

There were fewer servants in Suiyuexuan, so it was particularly quiet.

The cold wind was howling, and the window sills were creaking a little, which made Lu Wanjun feel uneasy.

"Cough cough cough..."

Su Lanyin was sitting aside preparing perfume. When she heard her mother cough, her slender white fingertips holding the perfume spoon paused, and she looked up, with worry flashing in her eyes.

"Why is mother coughing even more? Madam Li, please ask the miracle doctor to come to our house..."

Lu Wanjun quickly stopped him: "I'm fine, don't bother Doctor Xue so late at night. The old lady's illness has been enough to bother him in the past."

Su Lanyin looked at Nanny Li helplessly, then shook her head.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. Mammy, go and ask the kitchen to cook some blood swallows for mother to nourish her body."

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

Lu Wanjun couldn't help but speak again: "The price of blood swallows is high this year, and there aren't many left in the private storehouse. I'd better save them for you to eat. Mom's health is fine."

She is like this, always generous to others, but stingy when it comes to herself.

Su Lanyin also learned by chance from Su Lanxin in her previous life that this kind of person is called "feeling of unworthiness."

Because they are often denied, belittled and not cared for by people around them, they gradually develop the mentality of "I am not worthy".

Thinking of this, she felt heartbroken. In her previous life, her mother had never been loved well in the Su family.

In this life, she will do her best to make up for it!

Su Lanyin stood up, her tone firm and unquestionable.

"Mom, buy more after you finish eating. What are you afraid of? From now on, all the good things will be yours. After you finish eating, you can give the rest to others according to your mood."

Lu Wanjun frowned: "Blood swallows are precious, save the money..."

"What are you going to do with the money you save? To support the ungrateful bastards? Even if you really spend it all, I, your daughter, will earn it back in the future. Don't you believe me, mother?"

"You are my own flesh and blood, I naturally believe that you will be successful in the future, but..."

"No buts, Madam Li, listen to me. Take out the blood swallows, cook five portions, and send them to my three brothers as a supplement."

"Yes." Nanny Li nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. We don't have to subsidize the poor Su family. The money saved is enough for Auntie to eat blood swallows for eight lifetimes."

After saying that, she went to the private store to get the bird's nest.

Lu Wanjun wanted to say something, but seeing her daughter's firm attitude, she had no choice but to obey.

……

Pearl Pavilion.

Nanny Song, who was beside Liu Ruyan, couldn't help but frown when she looked at the bird's nest that was delivered to her.

"Today's bird's nest is probably less than three grams. What happened to the kitchen?"

The little maid bowed her head and replied respectfully: "Now that the mansion's expenses have been reduced, the kitchen said that there are only these few bird's nests left."

"Asshole! In my opinion, it's possible that those dogs and slaves embezzled the money!" Nanny Song was very angry.

There was a flash of displeasure in Liu Ruyan's eyes, but her face remained calm.

"Forget it, maybe the servants are just hungry, so let them be."

"How can that be? The money has been deducted from the mistress of the house. If she is not severely punished, she will become even more arrogant in the future. Just wait, I will go to the kitchen to see what is going on."

After saying that, he immediately took the bowl of bird's nest, walked out of the door angrily and went straight to the kitchen.

Liu Ruyan watched her disappearing back, a smug smile forming on her lips.

She never needs to stand out, because there are always people around her to fight for her!
