Shengjing Noble

Wenli raised her head slowly, making sure there was no murderous intent before she stood up with the help of the pillar beside the door. Then she walked cautiously into the yard and knelt down and kowtowed again.

"Your servant greets the young lady. I wonder if you are in good health. I have been thinking about you in my heart..."

"Why don't you die if you're still thinking about me?" Su Lanyin curled her lips in a cold smile, lowering her eyes to glance at her, full of sarcasm.

"I dare not! I absolutely dare not! The young lady has been kind to me. I was deceived by Liu Cheng and left Suiyuexuan. I hope the young lady will not bear grudges and forgive me..."

Cuizhu was furious when she heard this. She pointed at her head and started to curse: "You bitch, how dare you say such things? It was you who ran away to Liu Ruyan because you despised Suiyuexuan for losing the power to manage the household expenses. Now that you've been kicked out of the house, you're thinking of my girl?"

"You ungrateful thing! Didn't you want to be a maid? How are you doing now? Did you become one? And your Liu Ahcheng, why don't you marry him? I heard that you two had an affair in the mansion, and the eldest lady even let you live in the same courtyard!"

Wenli was speechless after being exposed and could only lower her head and cover her face and cry.

Su Lanyin was annoyed by her noise and said impatiently: "If you want to cry, go to the Su family and cry. Don't cry in my garden. It's really unlucky!"

After saying this, he waved his hand to signal his servants to drive him away.

Wenli knew that this was her only chance, so she immediately knelt down and walked to her feet.

"My lady, I really know I was wrong. I have come to you with such a thick face to beg you because I am really desperate! Please, for the sake of growing up with you, please give me a way out? I beg you..."

Hearing this, Su Lanyin kicked her away, her eyes full of disgust.

Cuizhu immediately understood what she meant and squatted down sensibly to help her wipe the dust off her Shu brocade shoes with a handkerchief.

"Don't defile my girl's feet, you filthy thing."

Su Lanyin curled her lips and asked curiously, "Wenli, can you tell me how you got to the point of nowhere?"

When Wenli heard that she was willing to give her a chance, she immediately knelt down and started crying.

"After the young lady left the Su family, many servants followed her. The indentures of slaves and a small number of people were in the hands of the eldest lady, so they had no choice but to stay and continue to work."

"But the Su family can no longer afford to pay the servants so much monthly wages. Liu Cheng saw that I was no longer useful, so he beat and scolded me every day, and even said that I was blind. If I had stayed in Suiyuexuan, I could have followed the girl and left the Su family to enjoy a better life."

"But it was Liu Cheng who coerced and bribed me to leave the girl! So I argued with him, but he got so mad that he beat me half to death."

"If that was all, I would not have the face to beg you, and I would have just endured it. But who would have thought that he would discuss with the Madam and sell me to a brothel."

"It snowed heavily last night, and the carriage slipped and overturned. I took advantage of the situation to escape, and then I hid here and there, asking around, and finally found the girl here, wuwuwu..."

Cuizhu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Why did you come here? You don't think that if you sell yourself as a poor girl, they will take you in? I advise you to put away those useless thoughts!"

Su Lanyin leaned back in the chair and rocked gently. Although her face looked comfortable, her eyes were filled with brilliance.

She asked in a deep voice: "Wenli, you have almost escaped death to find me, so for the sake of our past relationship as master and servant, how about I give you a chance to choose?"

Hearing her say this, Wenli's eyes suddenly brightened, but Cuizhu was furious.

"Miss, how can you be so soft-hearted? This bitch betrayed you. What if she has some bad intentions to harm you?"

Su Lanyin gave her a look and said coldly, "Back off!"

"Girl..." Cuizhu wanted to dissuade her, but was warned by her eyes. She had to bite her lower lip and step aside, but her face was full of unwillingness and worry.

Her daughter is just too soft-hearted and too kind!

Wenli knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, thanking her repeatedly: "Miss, I will never forget your great kindness..."

"Don't thank me yet. I haven't asked you to choose yet."

"Yes, please go ahead, young lady." She suppressed her inner excitement and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Su Lanyin raised her eyebrows slightly, casually admiring the handmade teacup, and asked lazily, "I'll give you two choices. One is to return to my side and be my maid. The other is to give you a sum of money and send you away from Shengjing."

After listening to it, Wenli chose the first one without even thinking about it.

"I will choose one! Even if I have to be a lowly maid, I am willing to follow you again, young lady, and I promise that I will do my best and be loyal from now on."

Hearing her choice, the light in Su Lanyin's eyes dimmed little by little.

If she said she wanted to take the money and leave Shengjing, then her words about being sold to a brothel would be somewhat credible.

But she insisted on staying.

Didn't Wenli give up all her generous treatment and leave Suiyuexuan just to become a first-class maid?

With her proud and arrogant personality, how could she be willing to go back to her side and be a lowly maid who was worse than the second-class maid she used to be?

This was more serious than an insult to her.

But Wenli agreed so readily.

Then there is only one possibility.

She was sent by Liu Ruyan, who also promised to give her what she wanted.

No need to guess, she must be the top maid in the Su family.

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin sneered softly, as if she was watching a joke.

She originally wanted to expose the truth and then sell Wenli to a brothel.

But doing so would be too easy for this traitorous dog slave.

After much thought, I feel that it would be more satisfying to avenge myself in this life and the past life together.

Since she wanted to stay, how could Su Lanyin stop her from seeking her own death?

"Well, in that case, you will stay here and be a lowly servant."

When Cuizhu heard her agreement, her eyes widened bigger than quail eggs and she was so angry that her little face turned black.

If I don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid this girl will be angry to death.

So Su Lanyin had Wenli taken away and dismissed the people around her, leaving only Cuizhu.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Cuizhu immediately knelt on the ground, her eyes red as she said, "Miss, you can't keep this ungrateful person around. I don't believe what she says at all. She must have other intentions to harm you!"

Su Lanyin raised her eyebrows and asked with interest, "Why do you say that?"

Cuizhu explained seriously, "Just think about it, she wanted to be a first-class maid so much that she even sold out her master for glory. How could she be willing to return to your side and be a servant now? This girl must have some bad intentions!"

Looking at Cuizhu's puffy face, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch her: "I didn't expect Ah Zhu to be so smart. It turns out that I underestimated you."

"Oh my! You are still teasing me at this hour!"
