He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

In prestigious and older aristocratic families, in order to provide enlightenment to adolescent men, they usually choose to assign maidens to them. This is a very common thing, and it is taken for granted that people who do not have a common room would be considered an outlier.

It's hard for Lu Yan to comment. She cannot accept this kind of convention in this era, but she completely understands it. It was just difficult for her to adjust her mentality to face Xue Zhuoyuan's marriage.

Tongfang was no ordinary maid, she had indeed had a relationship with Xue Zhuoyuan. But she cannot be regarded as Xue Zhuoyuan's partner, because Xue Zhuoyuan's future partner must be someone else, and she is not even a concubine. In many cases, the maids of the first-in-law are even erased from their human attributes and simply become the young master’s sexual tools.

Lu Yan felt very complicated and asked Lu Sheng: "What do you usually call her?"

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment: "Why call her? We don't call her."

Lu Yan: "What if we met on the street and didn't even say hello?"

"The most you can do is nod." Lu Sheng said, "She is just Xue Zhuoyuan's maid, not our friend."

Lu Yan thought about it and realized that she was indeed overthinking. The maid in the first room is also a maid. If you can't look at her directly, just don't look at her directly.

This time there were more people, so the road to the capital went slower. Finally, we passed an inn and booked the entire inn. After several days of running around and working hard, they all fell asleep. Lu Yan hadn't taken a shower for several days. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she fetched water to take a shower. After washing, she poured the water out before throwing herself on the bed and falling asleep.

It was already bright when we woke up, and everyone was going to rest at the inn for the day. Lu Yan rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen.

It's already April, and there are a lot of edible vegetables, which is much better than in winter. There are many edible fresh vegetables in the kitchen of the store. Cabbage, radish and potatoes are definitely indispensable. There are also leeks, spinach and a bowl of eggs, but there is no meat. Lu Yan directed He Wenjing to buy ten kilograms of pork. When she came back, she saw someone selling freshly caught fish on the street, so she bought two more grass carps.

At noon, Lu Yan cooked a table of dishes, including vinegar-braised cabbage, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with leeks, braised pork, steamed fish, as well as a bowl of shredded radish meatball soup and a bowl of spinach and egg soup. The staple food is two large pots of steamed buns. The same dish was cooked twice and two tables were set up. Lu Yan meant one table for the elders and one table for the juniors.

These people had not eaten fresh food for several days, and they were very happy to see this table of food. Lu Yan invited everyone to sit down and eat: "You are hungry, come and eat. That grass carp has a lot of spines, so be careful when eating."

The parents of Xue Zhuoyuan and Chu Tiankuo were full of praise for Lu Yan, and Lu Yan waved her hands in thanks for the compliment. Soon everyone started chatting with each other. The elders were chatting enthusiastically, and the juniors were also chirping.

Lu Sheng and Xue Zhuoyuan were chatting with Chu Tiankuo, and Lu Yan was sitting next to Lu Sheng, eating a bowl of rice. Xue Zhuoyuan's maid stood beside him, helping him pick out the fish bones from the grass carp.

Lu Yan felt extremely awkward and couldn't help but said, "How about you sit down and eat together?"

The girl looked frightened and waved her hands hurriedly: "I don't dare, I'm just a servant. How can I go to the table and eat with my master?"

He Wenjing, who was sitting next to Lu Yan and quickly eating rice: "..."

Xue Zhuoyuan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Okay Fuxiang, you don't have to wait on me anymore, you can go down."

Fu Xiang weakly bowed in response.

Lu Yan told her: "Then go to the kitchen and see if there is anything edible. You can make some yourself."

Ukiro Juju said yes and then retreated.

That Fuxiang is not the appearance of a beautiful woman, and the mistress would not choose that kind of enchanting wife for her son. She is so delicate and pretty, with a sense of weakness, coupled with her humble and humble posture, it makes men full of protective desire at the first glance.

Lu Yan always felt butterflies in her stomach when he came into contact with her, but these boys continued chatting without taking it seriously, so Lu Yan could only let it go.

After resting at this inn, the carriage set off on the road again. In the next few days, Lu Yan found that she was paying too much attention to Fu Xiang. Lu Yan did ask herself to treat her as an ordinary maid, but she really couldn't help but pay more attention to her.

When the team rested at the inn again, Lu Yan woke up at night and saw her squatting under a tree and vomiting. She couldn't help but ask her: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Fuxiang was startled by the sudden sound and trembled all over. When she looked up and saw it was Lu Yan, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm fine. Maybe I ate something wrong at night. I'll feel better if I spit it out. Thank you, Miss Lu, for your concern." , It’s getting cold at night, please go back to sleep.”

Lu Yan didn't take it seriously, nodded and went to the toilet. After solving the problem, she went back to sleep.

The next day, Lu Yan was awakened by the noise downstairs. When she went downstairs, she found Xue Zhuoyuan and his mother standing face to face on both sides. Fuxiang was standing one step behind Xue Zhuoyuan, and Xue Zhuoyuan was blocking her.

Mrs. Xue was furious: "Yuan'er, get out of my way! I have to sell her today!"

Xue Zhuoyuan kept trying to dissuade her: "Mom! If we have anything to do, let's talk about it when we get to the capital. With so many people here, don't delay your journey, and don't make people laugh!"

Fuxiang burst into tears, sobbing and hiding behind Xue Zhuoyuan. Mrs. Xue laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, now I'm making a fuss out of a molehill again."

Mrs. Xue's maid brought a bowl of dark medicinal soup from the kitchen. Mrs. Xue stopped mentioning the sale and waved her hand: "Let her drink it all for me."

The maid came over with the medicine. Fuxiang was a little flustered, but Xue Zhuoyuan didn't stop her and let her out. Fuxiang's eyes flashed, and she took the medicinal soup and drank it clean.

Mrs. Xue saw her drinking the medicine and pointed at her: "Yuan'er is right, I can't delay so many people's schedule. For Yuan'er's sake, let you go first before letting me see you." If you play this scheming way, you will be finished if you see if I sell it or not."

Mrs. Xue turned and left, Fuxiang shed tears, grabbed Xue Zhuoyuan's sleeve, and explained aggrievedly: "I...I didn't mean to...I vomited yesterday because I felt uncomfortable... .”

Xue Zhuoyuan didn't say anything, patted her twice and went upstairs.

Lu Yan was still standing on the stairs with a blank look on her face, and Lu Sheng was standing behind him. Xue Zhuoyuan nodded to Lu Yan and Lu Sheng when passing by, and went up without saying anything.

Lu Yan looked confused: "What happened?"

Lu Sheng kept a secretive look on his face: "Can't you see?"

Lu Yan shook her head blankly: "Did you see it?"

Lu Sheng analyzed it for Lu Yan: "Mrs. In other words, Mrs. Xue thinks that the problem with her is that she vomited something that shouldn't be vomited. Can't you think of why? "

Lu Yan had a vague guess in her heart: "...That medicine can't be what I thought."

Lu Sheng knew that Lu Yan had guessed it, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I can ask Xue Zhuoyuan to verify it."
