The original owner was a servant born into a household and grew up in the Marquis's mansion. He was always taught to be loyal to the Marquis's mansion and to his master.

So even though she became the prince's concubine, she never thought of using it to rise in rank; instead, she served him even more diligently.

She was supposed to be elevated to the rank of concubine after the Marquis married half a year ago, but the Marquis disliked his new wife and, on their wedding night, used the excuse of being drunk to stay in the study.

The Marquis and his wife were at odds, so no one thought of offering the original owner a concubine. Given the original owner's personality, she would never ask for one herself, so she continued to serve in the front courtyard.

The original owner dared not utter a single complaint.

They continued doing their jobs of serving tea and water and helping the lord change clothes during the day, and serving him through the long nights.

She always thought that one day her master would see her and make her a concubine.

However, as the days went by, the Marquis and his wife fell in love after their marriage, and their relationship grew stronger. The original owner was happy for her two masters.

But the lady was unhappy, feeling that the original owner was an obstacle, hindering her and the Marquis's affection. She pretended to send him away, but actually intended to kill him to silence him.

At that time, the Marquis only had his wife in his heart and eyes, so of course he readily agreed.

Upon hearing this news, the original owner was struck dumb and immediately panicked.

But the day before she was to be sent away, the original owner was found to be pregnant.

In order to save her child's life, the original owner pleaded with the madam and the marquis, and in the end, it was the old lady who spoke up and allowed the original owner to stay.

But the lady was jealous and could not tolerate the original owner's existence.

She claimed she would take care of the original owner and the child of the Marquis in her womb, sending the original owner various nourishing soups and medicines every day, and telling her to stay out less, but in reality, she wanted to make it so that the child would grow up and be unable to be born.

The Marquis also turned a blind eye to Zhenyi's actions, and in the end, the original owner died in childbirth.

After the original owner died, his parents and two older brothers, who also worked in the Marquis's mansion, wanted to seek an explanation from their masters, but were ultimately beaten to death by the cannibalistic Marquis's mansion.

Liang Qiuli's mission this time is to protect her child and family, and to take revenge on everyone in this cannibalistic Marquis's mansion, including the Marquis's wife and the old lady who gave her to the Marquis.

Liang Qiuli thought for a moment; there was still a month before she was sent away.

"Hmm...why aren't you coming over yet!"

When the Marquis saw that he had already changed his clothes and Liang Qiuli was still standing there in a daze, his tone became a little harsher.

It seems Yue Rao was right. This girl is getting more and more outrageous. It's better to send her away so she won't take advantage of Yue Rao's favor and bully her in the future.

Liang Qiuli snapped out of her thoughts, bowed slightly, and approached the Marquis with the same respect as before, saying, "This servant was wrong, please punish me, Your Majesty."

As she spoke, Liang Qiuli lowered her head slightly, displaying the most alluring aspect of her body to the Marquis.

Sure enough, a look of amazement flashed in the Marquis's eyes, but he quickly covered it up with a light cough.

"Hmph, tell me where you went wrong?"

The Marquis deliberately put on a stern face, wanting Liang Qiuli to beg for mercy from him.

“This servant shouldn’t have ignored the Marquis’s instructions because of my panic. But the Marquis knows that this servant only has the Marquis in my heart and eyes.”

Liang Qiuli raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with affection as she gazed at the Marquis, as if he were the only person left in her world.

The Marquis felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he gazed at her tender eyes, and his anger subsided considerably.

How come he never noticed before that Liang Qiuli's round face, though not as beautiful as the oval face that people admire, was quite cute, especially her watery eyes, which seemed to speak volumes and melted his heart.

He wanted to reach out and pinch her cheek, but remembering what Yue'er had said earlier, he withdrew his hand and said calmly.

"Since you care about me so much, I will give you another chance. As for what to do, think about it carefully."

The Marquis thought to himself that although he had promised Xu Yuerao to send away the maid Liang Qiuli, there was still more than a month to go, so there was no rush.

He just hoped that Liang Qiuli wouldn't stick to the rules like before, that she could understand the meaning behind his words, and that she would serve him well tonight.

The original owner might not have understood these words, but Liang Qiuli saw them very clearly. The Marquis only appeared to be a virtuous and aloof gentleman on the surface.

Behind the scenes, however, he was deeply indebted to the woman; otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have been unable to get out of bed after each night of service.

"Yes, sir. Tonight I will make amends and serve you well, my lord. I will apologize to you."

A smile that Liang Qiuli had never shown before appeared on her round face, dazzling the Marquis for a moment. He hadn't expected that this girl would look so pretty when she smiled.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons, and two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth. The soft, sweet voice she spoke made the Marquis feel comfortable. This girl finally understood what he meant.

The Marquis coughed lightly and raised his hand slightly, gesturing for her to leave first.

Li Qiuli obediently turned to leave, but secretly glanced at the Marquis out of the corner of her eye, and their eyes met.

Before the Marquis could speak, Liang Qiuli blushed. She lowered her head shyly and whispered, "My lord, this servant will take her leave now."

After saying that, she fled the study as if she were escaping.

Once she was sure she was out of the Marquis's sight, Liang Qiuli slowed her pace.

He thought to himself, "I'm complaining about it too."

Men are all like this. They always act like upright gentlemen, keeping everyone at arm's length, yet they like others to admire them or even seduce them. They are hypocritical and hypocritical.

However, Liang Qiuli still comforted herself, saying that everything was for the mission!

Everything for the mission!

At the same time, I was also thinking about how to better complete the task.

Judging from the current situation, the Marquis has clearly become biased towards his wife, Xu Yuerao, and I am just a maidservant who didn't have anything that could attract him before.

Therefore, she needs the Marquis to change his opinion of her.

After figuring it out, Liang Qiuli began to modify various data about her body through the system.
