I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

The fact that Zhao Fangyu went to Zhao Minshan's study to serve him with writing materials caused an uproar in the Zhao family.

Chunshao and Xiangyao vividly described the bustle of Yuelanxuan and Pingboyuan in front of Zhao Fangyu.

"It is said that the third girl was so angry that she couldn't eat last night. The fifth girl was even more powerful. She almost smashed the entire Pingbo Courtyard!"

"There is still a bowl-sized scar on the door of the second young lady's room. Today, Cong Lu, who is with the second young lady, went to look for Mother Cui, and happened to see Mother Cui bringing snacks to our young lady!"

Xiangyao was so excited when she spoke that Chunshao, unwilling to be left behind, followed Xiangyao's lead and continued:

Chunshao straightened her clothes, stood up and asked Xiangyao: "Second Miss's door is broken? How could such a good door be broken? There is no pear wood door in the mansion, so if you want to buy one now, you have to go outside to find one."

Xiangyao bent down and said bitterly, "Mother Cui, the fifth girl drank some wine yesterday and accidentally broke the wine pot, which scratched the paint on the second girl's door. Please help the girl find it."

"Maybe we should replace the door or find a better painter to repair it."

Mother Cui, played by Chunshao, pouts with the wrinkles between her brows enough to kill a fly.

After the performance, Xiangyao threw herself on Zhao Fangyu's knees with a smile and said, "There has never been a girl in the mansion who goes to the master's study to serve as a clerk! In the past, only our eldest young master had such honor!"

Zhao Fangyu poked her head and said, "How can I compare with my elder brother? Don't say such things again in the future. If you do, I will twist your mouth."

Xiangyao agreed with a smile, while Chunshao's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything.

It was not yet time to go to school, and Zhao Fangyu saw that it was still early, so he asked Xiangyao to stand outside to guard, with the doors and windows open, so that anyone who wanted to eavesdrop would have nowhere to hide.

"You and Xiangyao are the only maids around me. If nothing goes wrong, you will follow me even if I get married in the future. You and Xiangyao are different. Xiangyao is a family-born child, but you are not."

"The Madam sent you here for a reason. I didn't tell you before, but you have to figure it out from now on. Who do you want to work for?"

"People are motivated by profit. You should know from what I have done in the past that I will not mistreat my own people, but I will not let go of those who betray me either."

Zhao Fangyu had asked Xiangyao to find out Chunshao's background. Chunshao was originally bought from a human trafficker outside. When she first entered the Zhao family, she found a godmother in the outer courtyard in order to gain a foothold.

The godmother's surname is Lu. She is a famous old lady in the embroidery room. Except for Mama Qian who came with the lady, Chunshao's godmother is the second in command. When Zhao Fangjin reminded Zhao Fangyu to make clothes quickly, it was Chunshao who privately told Mama Lu that Zhao Fangyu's order was put ahead before the other girls came.

This godmother looks glamorous, but she is actually a black-hearted person. She took Chunshao as her goddaughter and asked Chunshao to hand over half of her monthly salary. Seeing that Chunshao is working in Qingping Courtyard, she even plans to marry Chunshao to her son!

Chun Shao knelt down immediately after hearing this: "I will always be your servant, as long as you don't chase me away, I am willing to be your old maid for the rest of my life!"

Zhao Fangyu is now very popular among the girls. Lu Gan's mother has long announced that she wants to find a decent wife for her son. When Chunshao reaches the age of 15, she will take her to her son as his second wife.

This was not Lu Mama's son's first marriage. His previous marriage was to a beautiful maid who had no support. Within three years, she was unable to give birth to a child and was tortured to death by a troublemaker!

Chunshao arrived too late and didn't know anything, and by the time she knew it, everything was already a done deal.

When Mother Cui arranged for Chunshao to serve Zhao Fangyu, Chunshao had already made two plans. If Zhao Fangyu was reliable, she would acknowledge Zhao Fangyu as her master, and would take care of him in every possible way, making Zhao Fangyu unable to leave her. When Zhao Fangyu got married, Chunshao would naturally be able to break away from Mother Lu's control.

If Zhao Fangyu is useless, Chunshao has other plans. She will commit some harmless little mistakes to let everyone know that she is working for the eldest lady. As long as Zhao Fangyu is there, she will monitor him and become the servant who knows the most of Zhao Fangyu's secrets, so that Zhao Fangyu will not dare to let her leave.

All of Chunshao's plans were based on the fact that Zhao Fangyu was young, just a little girl of six or seven years old, who was still ignorant of everything and it was the best time to develop feelings.

I didn't expect Zhao Fangyu to be so smart and see everything clearly.

Chunshao's weak spot is in Zhao Fangyu's hand, but Zhao Fangyu is not worried that she will betray him. After all, Mother Lu is the best catalyst. As long as Mother Lu's deterrence exists, Chunshao will submit peacefully.

Right now, she is only seven years old and cannot show much ability. Her best trademark is her father.

After completely conquering Chunshao, Zhao Fangyu took Chunshao to school.

The school was bustling with activity. Zhao Fangyu hadn't arrived yet, but he could hear Zhao Fangyun scolding his sister Zhao Fangwei from a distance: "You embroider this and that all day long, but in the end you still belong to a cheap family! Forget about going to the study room. Dad doesn't even praise you, he only praises the one who crawled back from the gates of hell!"

Zhao Fanglan sat on the side, wanting to laugh but unable to. She was wearing a blue-white jacket with a diamond pattern. She lowered her head and looked at the book in front of her, but she didn't turn the page for a long time. It seemed that she had something on her mind.

Zhao Fangyu stood aside and watched for a while, seeing Zhao Fangyun getting furious, seeing Zhao Fanglan clearly hating him so much but still pretending to be a cold scholar, seeing Zhao Fangwei claiming to be authoritative but giving Zhao Fangjin a bitter smile in an attempt to distance herself from the fact that she and Zhao Fangyun were a perfect match.

"Is it lively and interesting?"

When the elderly voice came, Zhao Fangyu immediately lowered his head and called him "Sir".

The gentleman smiled and said kindly, "I heard that you will often go to your father's study to serve as a clerk in the future?"

Zhao Fangyu nodded and said humbly, "I'm just helping my father grind ink and dip his brush."

The teacher smiled but said nothing. Finally, before entering the classroom, he said, "You are smart, so don't let your intelligence go to waste. Learn more and think more."

“Many people say that a woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent, but the world is so vast, and what we see is just a drop in the ocean of the mundane world. If a person lives his whole life in just one city and revolves around one house, then life is really boring.”

Zhao Fangjin seemed to understand: "So women should also study and not just hang around the house? But...what else can we do if we don't do these things?"

The teacher didn't say. He just said it depends on one's understanding.

This statement is actually very unpopular. People with ideas don't need to say more, and people without ideas won't understand even if they say more, and will even question.

After class, Zhao Fangyu went to Zhao Minshan's study despite Zhao Fangyun's gaze that almost pierced her.

It was very quiet outside the study today, so quiet that no one was there except the housekeeper Zhao Shan.

After Zhao Minshan finished writing the last stroke, he asked, "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Do you think this is right or wrong?"
