An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Since Peng married into the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, except for the face Chu Xuan gave her three days before the wedding, he rarely set foot in her yard afterwards.

Her temper became more and more violent. She would beat and scold the servants at any time, and even sell them. Even Liuli and the wet nurse did not dare to speak loudly, let alone say words of persuasion, for fear that they would also be sold.

She was so angry that the problems with the shop and the farm had not been resolved that she was almost unable to hold it in.

I originally wanted to be a hands-off boss, but once I entered the Marquis' Mansion, it was not so easy to really let go.

A few days later, the public account books were handed over to her again. Today, because of the little maid's intervention, she finally calmed down a little.

"Keep your head up."

Mrs. Peng took another sip of the slightly cold tea and felt much more comfortable. She couldn't help but soften her tone to the kneeling maid.

The little maid raised her head slightly, her chin slightly raised, but she lowered her eyebrows and did not dare to look at anyone, looking very well-behaved.

She has small arms and legs, small eyes, a flat nose bridge, and ordinary looks. She looks very honest with her lowered brows and will not be a charming girl when she grows up.

It was such an ordinary-looking girl, but she was able to burst out with tremendous strength just now. She didn't know what fear was, and she kept saying that she was protecting her.

"Are you new here?"

Mrs. Peng asked the question casually, and the words seemed to come out of her nose, as if she was asking about the most ordinary thing.

The little maid glanced at Liuli, who was standing behind the Madam, then turned her gaze to the Madam before timidly saying, "This servant has only been in the mansion for three days and doesn't know the rules yet. I just couldn't stand the old woman being so presumptuous, so I resorted to violence. Madam, please punish me. I won't dare to do it again."

After following the Madam for so many years, Liuli also knew that the Madam must have developed an interest in the little maid, but she was just being polite.

So I explained, "That day I went to the pawnshop to select people. I wanted to pick some who could be used right away, at least thirteen or fourteen years old.

But the middleman recommended that the child was quite capable, could do anything, could read a little, and had learned the rules. Her family was originally well-off and could still afford to have servants.

But as soon as her parents died, her uncles seized their property and sold her.

"I bought her out of compassion. These past few days, I've seen her working very efficiently and is capable of handling the odd jobs of sweeping and washing."

Mrs. Peng was silent for a while before she said, "You're quite clever. Stop kneeling and get up."

The little maid kowtowed again and said crisply, "Thank you, Madam."

Then he climbed up nimbly, standing slightly sideways with his hands hanging down, very obediently. His forehead had already turned red and had a swelling.

Mrs. Peng smiled at her and asked nonchalantly, "Have you chosen a name?"

The little maid replied in a low voice: "No!"

Before he finished speaking, he knelt down again and said in a much louder voice: "Please give me a name, Madam."

Peng gently patted Liuli's busy hand on her shoulder. After a moment's hesitation, her eyes fell on the little maid. She said slowly, "You will be called Feicui. From now on, you will learn how to do things from your sister Liuli. However, your salary will still be the same as that of a maid who has just entered the mansion."

Having expected this to happen, Liuli quickly responded, "Okay!"

There was a subtle complexity in her tone. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes swept over the little maid, and a wave of emotion surged in her heart.

The little maid immediately kowtowed again, her voice clear and respectful: "Thank you, Madam, for the name Jade!"

Her movements were quick and decisive, and her tone was filled with gratitude and joy. She stood up swiftly, turned around, bowed in Liuli's direction, and called out in a sweet voice, "Sister Liuli!"

The call of "sister" was extremely sweet, as if it carried an endless sense of intimacy and dependence. However, Liuli's brows knitted slightly.

She couldn't help but recall the first-class maid who had served the lady with her not long ago. That Feicui entered the mansion at the age of seven or eight, and it took her a full ten years to become a first-class maid. However, she was sold by the lady for a trivial matter less than a year after she was married into the mansion.

Now, this little maidservant in front of her, who was only about ten years old, immediately caught the lady's eye because of her boldness and ruthlessness.

Liuli felt a little uneasy, not knowing whether this was a blessing or a curse for Feicui.

She knew the lady's temper well, her moods were unpredictable, and she might value her today but dislike her tomorrow.

But now is the time when we need people, so it is always good to promote people. At least there will be more people to share the burden, and I won’t be so tired.

Thinking of this, Liuli couldn't help but linger on little Feicui for a moment longer. Feicui stood there with her eyebrows lowered and her face submissively childish, but her eyes shone with a cleverness.

Although this child is young, he is not a simple-minded person. His behavior just now clearly shows that he knows how to read people's expressions. But is it really a good idea for him to stand out like this?

"Fei Cui," Liu Li called softly, with a hint of warning in her tone, "You must be more careful with your words and actions in the future, learn to do things well, and don't let Madam down."

Feicui nodded and replied obediently: "Yes, Sister Liuli, Feicui will study hard, serve the lady well, and not cause trouble for you."

The corners of Peng's mouth curled up slightly, her gaze lingering on Feicui for a moment, and she said to Liuli calmly, "Take care of her and teach her some rules. If she behaves well, she will naturally benefit in the future."

Liuli responded respectfully, "Yes, Madam, don't worry."
