Chapter 5 Mrs. Li's Heart Flutters
Chunhong looked at her younger sister with a worried expression. Chunxing was always smarter than her, and in the past, she would always come up with ideas for how to answer the madam's questions.
No matter how clever you are, what can you do when your life is in someone else's hands?
Chunxing comforted her sister, seeing how worried she was.
"Stop looking so gloomy. The girl will be finished eating soon, so let's quickly grab a bite too."
Don't worry, I'm just a maid. The one who should be worried is our silly girl.
My mother told me a few days ago that I should never try to become a concubine.
The eldest daughter's marriage is merely a way to reserve a place for the second daughter, since no matter how beautiful our second young lady is, she is still just an illegitimate daughter.
Being a concubine is fine, but she's really not qualified to be the wife of the heir apparent.
The Ningguo Duke's Mansion cannot afford to lose face like this.
But the young master Zhao and our second young lady are in love, and the madam has not arranged for the second young lady to meet any suitors. It's easy to guess what she's up to.
If I dared to become the concubine of Prince Zhao, I would offend the Second Miss.
Hehe, they won't have a good time in the manor.
But she doesn't even consider why I should listen to her?
They raised me for eight years, but all they gave me were scraps of food so I wouldn't starve. In total, they didn't spend more than three taels of silver.
But I've given them fifty or sixty taels of silver every month during the years I served as their servant, so I've already repaid that debt of gratitude.
As for the debt of life, I already repaid them with my life when they left me to fend for myself without helping me.
My life is a gift from my sister, and I will only ever remember your kindness.
Seeing Chunxing's red-rimmed eyes and her biting her lip, Chunhong couldn't find the words to comfort her.
These words were truly outrageous, but if that old woman Li had shown even a little affection for Chunxing, this girl wouldn't have been so cold-hearted.
Their conversation wasn't very appetizing, and neither of them had much of an appetite. They ate quickly and hurried back to Jiang Xinyu's place to serve her.
Jiang Xinyu had finished eating by this time, in every sense of the word.
The two maids couldn't help but show their expressions when they saw the bowls and plates were spotless, as if they had just been washed.
Is this girl possessed by a hungry ghost?
Even if you skipped breakfast, you wouldn't get this kind of result even if you starved yourself for three days.
Chunhong cried out "Ouch!" and quickly went to touch Jiang Xinyu's belly.
"My dear girl, even if you're starving, you can't eat like this."
Jiang Xinyu felt somewhat embarrassed. She hadn't wanted to eat like that; she just couldn't resist.
The first few minutes were indeed because I was hungry, but towards the end it was all because I was craving food.
Moreover, she made a new discovery: although her superpowers haven't returned, her appetite seems to have caught up.
According to her original memories, she usually only needed half a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, and a few bites of vegetables to feel full. No wonder she looked so frail and sickly.
She thought she would feel unwell after eating so much, but to her surprise, the food was like when she had superpowers before; it quickly turned into energy to nourish herself after she ate it.
She no longer feels bloated, and she also feels more energetic than last night.
This discovery is truly surprising.
If she weren't afraid of causing trouble, she would have ordered another table full of dishes.
It seems that my special ability has not completely disappeared, but it cannot be used because my body is too weak or I haven't had enough time to get used to it.
Despite the girl repeatedly saying that she was fine, Chunhong was still a little worried.
But since her master hadn't given the order, she, a mere maid, dared not make the decision to go find a doctor on her own.
Fortunately, there were some commonly used pills in the room, so he took out two hawthorn pills and said he would give them to the young lady to help with her digestion.
Jiang Xinyu didn't waste any words, pinched it and stuffed it into her mouth.
It's good, sweet and sour, quite delicious.
Chunxing quickly tidied up the dishes and food containers, thinking about what she wanted to say.
He then gave Chunhong a wink, signaling her to stand guard at the door, before carefully massaging Jiang Xinyu's shoulders while expressing his concerns.
Jiang Xinyu wasn't from ancient times, and she didn't immediately think of the indenture.
Seeing that the young lady hadn't gotten angry, Chunxing quickly added, "I've been with you since I was little, so naturally I'm always thinking of what's best for you."
You'll be getting married in two days, and all of us will be going to marry into your family.
To put it bluntly, all the servants are part of your dowry.
But if you don't have the indenture, isn't that the same as not giving a house deed or a manor deed as part of your dowry?
Although the usage is the same, without that written contract, the item ultimately doesn't belong to you, does it?
These words made perfect sense, and Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but take a closer look at the girl named Chunxing.
In the original owner's memories, Chunhong was honest and simple, but gentle and meticulous, and took good care of her in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Chunxing is clever, sweet-talking, and quick-witted; she's very satisfied with both of them.
But Jiang Xinyu was in her mid-twenties and had lived through three years of the apocalypse, so her perspective on people was definitely different from that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Chunhong appears to be honest and kind, but in reality she is very selfish and cold-hearted.
She is usually unassuming and generous with small favors, and is considered the most popular person in the neighborhood, but in reality, she doesn't truly open her heart to anyone.
This Chunxing was even more remarkable; not only was she clever, but she was also very bold. It seems that she later climbed into Zhao Chengye's bed and became his concubine.
Now that Chunxing has suddenly come up with this idea and seems so focused on her, Jiang Xinyu can't help but overthink it.
Chunxing felt a tightness in her chest when she saw the girl looking at her.
She felt that the girl was different from before since she woke up this morning.
If it were in the past she had come up with such a good idea, the young lady would have rewarded her with a handful of silver melon seeds.
Jiang Xinyu glanced at Chunxing a few times and suddenly smiled, saying that it was a good idea. She then asked Chunxing to accompany her for a walk in the yard to digest her food.
Regardless of Chunxing's ulterior motives, her request for a contract of servitude can only bring benefits and no harm.
Anyway, she and the mother and daughter in that courtyard were naturally hostile to each other, and she was happy as long as this matter made them unhappy.
What could be more entertaining than making your enemy miserable?
There will be many people coming to do their makeup tomorrow, so she wants to see if that virtuous Aunt Liu will actually give her a contract of indenture.
The air was so fresh in ancient times. Jiang Xinyu strolled around the courtyard, enjoying the faint scent of grass in the air.
For her, a world without zombies was so wonderful.
If I could also have a life of plenty and wealth, I would be even happier.
She was quite content, completely unaware of the profound impact her words that morning had had on Li Mingyue and her daughter.
After leaving her place, Li Mingyue hurried home, forgetting even to say goodbye to Jiang Wanqiu.
Upon seeing her mother, she immediately recounted Jiang Xinyu's words in a cascading manner.
Madam Li, having been in charge of the household for many years, was not stupid; naturally, she thought of more things than her daughter.
Even though she knew it was wrong, she was still deeply tempted.
It's inevitable for people to have selfish desires in life. If she had a son to rely on, she wouldn't dare to let her daughter run wild for the sake of her son's future.
But she only had one precious child, Li Mingyue.
For Madam Li, nothing was more important than her daughter.
As for his master's career and those illegitimate sons in the backyard...
Haha, she doesn't even care about her own life, why would she care about the lives of those other people?
If it weren't for Governor Xiao's immense power making the escape route impossible, she would rather fight to the death than let her daughter marry a eunuch.
Now that someone is willing to fill that fiery pit in place of her daughter, Madam Li immediately had a gift prepared.
She's going to meet that eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
