The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again
Chapter 662 The Coveted Minister's Wife 11
After Jiang Nanqiu got up in the morning, it was Lianqiu who helped her dress up.
Now, besides Jiang Nanqiu's personal maid Lian Qiu, there is a maid named Tao Ma who belongs to the Fourth Prince, and another maid named Sui Han.
Nanny Tao was in her forties and looked very serious. But she spoke in a gentle voice. Jiang Nanqiu liked her very much. And because she was the Fourth Prince's person, he took the initiative to tell her many things and let her watch and listen to her heart's content.
Although she was a little clever, in the eyes of those who had been immersed in conspiracy and intrigue since childhood, it was just a trifle. So, it was better to be honest.
As long as the Fourth Prince was safe and sound and didn't suddenly go crazy and kidnap her, she would be thankful.
Moreover, his current situation required him to cling to the Fourth Prince.
Sui Han looked plain and serious, but she seemed to be quite skilled. When she walked or did things, she was like a cat, without any sound.
This is the helper Xie Yuer gave to me. It is said that he is a secret guard.
As for the people in his yard, they all looked like honest servants of the Pei family, but Jiang Nanqiu had no idea what they were actually like.
Jiang Nanqiu now has more people around him to serve him. It's not like when he first came here, he had no one to rely on and was so anxious.
The Fourth Prince's men can be used, but not all of them. As for the girl Sui Han, I can use her with complete confidence.
However, if you want to get rid of the Pei Mansion and leave, you must have your own people in those courtyards.
The days passed leisurely.
One day, Jiang Nanqiu was admiring the beautiful spring scenery outside the window, but was disrupted by a scream.
Jiang Nanqiu had just finished his breakfast. The maids had eaten up the leftovers and cleaned up the place when someone arrived from Wutong Courtyard.
Wutong Courtyard is the courtyard of the Cui family today.
Jiang Nanqiu probably knew what was going on over there, so he was mentally prepared.
The person who came in was Liu Yu, Cui's capable maid.
Although Liu Yu was a member of the Cui family, he was quite respectful to Jiang Nanqiu. Unlike the other servants in Wutong Courtyard, they looked down upon Jiang Nanqiu, the young lady.
Liu Yu bowed to Jiang Nanqiu and said, "Third Madam, the old lady said that we are a wealthy family and it is not decent for us to live in such a shabby way. If this gets out, it will be really disgraceful. If outsiders know about it, they will say that you, the young lady, are withholding food from the mansion, which will be very unpleasant."
Jiang Nanqiu was no longer as nervous as he had been a few days ago. Instead, he said, "Miss Liu Yu has worked hard. However, I heard the old lady's words clearly. Did the old lady feel that the food in the mansion was not enough? But I calculated it myself and it was enough. Besides, now is a difficult time, and we still have to save where we can. Steward Sun is the old lady's companion, and he holds all the accounts in his hands. The old lady should know what the accounts are like."
"Old Madam, you should know that the master will be selecting officials in a few days. If you don't have enough money, it will be difficult to do things. After all, which of those adults has a small appetite? If I don't save a little, where can I get thousands of taels of silver?"
Liu Yu was speechless after hearing this. "Since Third Madam said so, I will reply like this."
Jiang Nanqiu stopped her, "Miss Liu Yu, please stay. To be honest, compared to the trouble caused by eating in the mansion, I have something more important to discuss with you."
Liu Yu was a little wary in her heart, but she remained respectful on the surface. "Madam, you are really embarrassing me. If there is anything, there is no need to discuss it. Madam, just give me the order."
Jiang Nanqiu looked at the three people around him and said to her, "There is no outsider around me, so I will speak frankly. The old lady's health is getting worse day by day, and you are still young, so don't you plan for your future?"
Liu Yu was shocked and looked at Jiang Nanqiu with disbelief.
Although Liu Yu was always smart, she was so nervous after hearing such outrageous words that she stuttered, "Third, Third Madam...I don't quite understand..."
Jiang Nanqiu said, "As the old lady's maid, you always consider her in everything. When the family was in trouble in the past, I don't know how many people wanted to take the old lady's money, but you stopped them. But you also offended a lot of people because of this, right?"
Liu Yu was silent. Jiang Nanqiu was telling the truth, and it was what she had been worried about.
The old lady relied on her, and she seemed to be in a good position on weekdays, but that was only because she was useful. But if the old lady passed away one day, what would she do then?
Jiang Nanqiu seemed to have heard her thoughts, so he said, "If you didn't have a gambling-addicted brother, you would have saved enough money to redeem yourself. But now, I'm afraid you don't have any money. If the old lady shows mercy and lets you go in the future, what will you do if you don't have any money?"
"Your brother is vicious. If he knew you had no money, what would he do to you? Sell you to a good-for-nothing husband, and have you be beaten and tortured like an ordinary woman? But you are used to a life of luxury now. Can you bear such a life?"
Jiang Nanqiu's words touched Liu Yu's heart, and her face became paler and paler after hearing these words.
Whenever Liu Yu's brother lost money or got drunk, he would come to her to ask for money, and if she didn't give it, he would threaten to cause trouble.
Even if she had saved some private money, what would it matter? Her mother was already dead. If she returned home, no matter how much money she had, it would still be taken away by her brother. Her brother was not the one who could not marry her to that old bachelor.
Liu Yu's mind was working quickly, "Thank you for the care of the Third Madam. But the old lady has been holding on to my death contract and refused to give it to me. Even if the Third Madam is kind and gives me a share of the redemption money, I will have to be a slave in the mansion for the rest of my life."
Liu Yu spoke very tactfully.
If the old lady died, her indenture contract and her property would be handed over to the eldest master. Redeeming her or letting her go was the business of the eldest wife, and the money given by the third wife would be of no use at all.
Only by getting the indenture can one decide his own fate. But the relationship between the Third Madam and the Old Madam is not good at all. How could he give his left arm and right arm to the Third Madam?
Liu Yu thought about a few days ago when the old lady pointed at Madam's nose and talked about the third lady in front of so many people. The third lady was so sad that she just left. She even forgot about the third master and just left her there without caring about him.
But the Third Lady had a lot of money, and when she got angry, she made it impossible for the Old Lady and the First and Second Masters to live as well as they used to. So the Old Lady called her over, and the two of them started to fight again.
