Lihua was really happy. She finally accomplished something. And she didn't rely on Luo Xie for this matter. She did it by herself. She didn't have to kill anyone or anything. It was effortless.

A group of maids were chattering in the backyard.

Maid 1: "Do you know? I heard from the servants around the master that some of the maids in the mansion are going to be arranged to get married."

Second maid: "Is it true or false? How come I don't know? I'm working beside the Madam. I haven't heard her say anything about this matter. Besides, she hasn't said anything, so it can't be true."

Maid 1: "You don't even know this, then you are really out of touch with the news. It seems that the eldest lady is really not favored now."

The third maid said to the first maid: "You'd better keep your mouth shut. If this matter is heard by outsiders, you might be sold to a brothel. We are just servants. How can servants plot against their masters?"

"For people like us, it's our greatest honor to work in the county magistrate's mansion. Look at those girls outside who are trying their best to get a job here. You'd better watch your mouths when you talk. You should also control your mouths. Their greatest function is to eat, not to gossip."

The maidservant didn't dare to speak for a moment, fearing that she would make more mistakes if she said more.

At this time, Xiaolu, who was beside them, spoke up, "Sisters, I haven't heard of this matter either. Who did you hear it from? Is it true?"

Maid Three: "It's very reliable, it's been confirmed, but the girls who are married off are not married to the servants in the mansion. I don't know which families the ladies will marry the girls to, it all depends on fate."

Xiao Luli asked hurriedly, "Do you know that lady is the one who organized this event?"

The maid immediately expressed her feelings at this time: "Of course it's the Third Madam. Among all of us ladies, the Third Madam is the most active and positive, and she is the most favored by the master."

When Xiaolu heard the name of the Third Madam, her heart sank. The Third Madam was the mortal enemy of the Second Madam.

Oh my god, maybe I am also on the list. Did the Third Madam know something? Is she going to get rid of me?

Xiaolu: "Sisters, do you know which sisters the girls who are going to be married have?"

The maid looked at Xiaolu blankly: "Sister Xiaolu, I don't know the list."

"But I heard that they are all sisters who are old enough to get married, or sisters who are very old. You should ask the people in the Second Madam's courtyard for details."

Xiaolu felt even more disheartened, thinking that she might not be able to escape.

When everyone heard these words and looked at Xiaolu, they all understood a little bit.

It seems that Sister Xiaolu is also old enough to get married. When the Second Madam was around, it was the Second Madam who took care of the arrangements. Now that the Second Madam is gone, the Third Madam has to do it, so it is the Third Madam who will take care of it.

But everyone in the mansion knew that the Second Lady and the Third Lady actually did not get along, and they only appeared to be loving sisters on the surface, but that was all for the master to see.

The master doesn't like his women to scheme against each other and hurt each other. So the five sisters are friendly on the surface, but in fact they wish each other to die immediately. They won't even blink an eye, let alone feel heartache.

Xiaolu felt very upset when she heard what the sisters said. Soon she returned to her room and locked herself in. She prayed to God that I was not in there this time. If I was, given the character of the Third Lady, I might not be able to marry into a good family.

The Third Madam might have known something, otherwise this would have been the first time she had arranged marriages for the maids since she entered the mansion.

It's too late to say anything now, we can only take one step at a time. As the saying goes, now we can only fight against the enemy with soldiers and cover the water with earth.

A few days passed, and Xiaolu was still feeling uneasy. After all, the final candidate had not been decided, and she didn't know how things had developed to this point.

After lunch today.

Maid: "Xiaolu, the Third Madam is looking for you and wants you to go to her yard."

Xiao Lu said cautiously: "Sister, do you know why the Third Madam called me over?"

The maid looked at Xiaolu and left without saying anything. But the look in her eyes made Xiaolu feel a little scared.

Xiaolu had no choice but to walk behind and follow.

When Xiaolu arrived at the Third Madam's courtyard, she saw four sisters she knew in the mansion. Including herself, there were five of them, and Xiaolu's heart skipped a beat.

Five people. A maidservant had said before that it seemed that five people were going to be married off, so wouldn’t that include herself?

Just when Xiaolu's thoughts were at a standstill.

The third lady is here.

Lihua looked at the five maids, and took a careful look at Xiaolu. She smiled and said to Xiaolu, "Xiaolu, I didn't expect you to be here too. Time has passed in a flash, and you are this old now, and you are old enough to get married."

"I vaguely remember when I first followed my grandfather, I was still so young at that time, but I already followed my second sister. It's a pity that my second sister was a beautiful woman with a tragic fate. My poor second sister died very early."

"Xiaolu, don't worry. For the sake of my second sister, I will definitely find a good family for you. You will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

After saying this, Lihua looked at Xiaolu meaningfully.

Xiaolu shuddered.

Xiaolu plopped down and knelt down in front of Lihua.

"Third Madam, I don't want to get married yet. The Second Madam just passed away not long ago, and the master and servant have some affection for each other over the years. I want to wait a few years before deciding. The Second Madam has no children, so I want to observe mourning for her for three years."

Lihua looked at Xiaolu and said, "Xiaolu, your sister in heaven will be very pleased. She will definitely feel sorry for you. After all, you are old. If you don't get married, your sister will be worried. I will be worried too."

"You can't let your lifelong event be delayed just because your sister is gone."

"Xiaolu, just marry someone else."

After Lihua said these words, she arranged for people to send the girls away one by one, and gave each of them five taels of silver in person.

When Xiaolu saw the scene, she knew that the situation was a foregone conclusion and could only pray that the Third Lady would have a change of heart and find a good family for her.

I don't ask for great wealth, but at least I should be a good person, get along well with my parents-in-law, and not be too poor.

Not long after, Xiaolu was taken away by a man.

When she saw the man for the first time, Xiaolu's heart was broken. Her face was ashen, and it seemed that she would never have a good life in her life.
