The days when I was a maid in another world

The work in the afternoon was a little easier. Anna and I wiped some decorations in the hall on the first floor, and then mopped the corridor again before eating, and we officially called it a day.

At dinner, I couldn't help complaining about the monotony of the food.

Anna looked at me and said with some puzzlement: "But these kinds of vegetables are the season to eat now!"

It dawned on me.In this world where civilization is still relatively backward, there is no greenhouse planting technology, and storage technology is not good. Even the king may only eat seasonal fruits and vegetables.

"Then how long will it take to change the ingredients?" I was really about to throw up these few things.

"It is estimated that there will be mushrooms next month." Anna also looked forward to it, "There will also be peas and cabbages."

I:"……"

Sure enough, no matter how you change it, it is a vegetarian dish.

I chatted with Anna for a few words, and suddenly heard a few maids at the next table discussing something enthusiastically, so I pricked up my ears and listened carefully for a while.

After hearing this, I realized why I was promoted.

It turned out that the dedicated handyman who was in charge of arranging the lord's personal belongings successfully climbed into the lord's big bed last night.According to the rules, she will no longer be a maid in the future, but will become the mistress of the lord.The lord would buy her a residence outside the house, as he had done with his mistresses before, and she would be raised like a canary.

When the maids who talked with each other talked about this matter, their tone of voice not only showed disdain for the bed-climbing maid, but also a kind of envy and jealousy that couldn't be concealed.

In any era, there will always be this kind of woman. In order to be attached to a man, she can even give up her reputation and her own preferences.

Many women before me came here for money, but I like their "reality".Take what you need, and stop entanglement after breaking up.Those who claim to really love me, I have to stay far away. After all, my marriage is probably not up to me, so I, like most wealthy children, have fun before getting married.

However, it seems that the mistress of the lord is not easy to be.If the lord does not give them freedom, they will probably be like the women in the deep courtyard of the palace. The better ones will have good clothes and better food, and the worse ones will barely survive, but they will all wither and wither like flowers that only bloom for one season.

I secretly looked at Anna's expression, and seeing that she didn't show envy like the maids did, I was secretly relieved.

After chatting with her, I learned that she is only 15 years old, totally a child.If it wasn't for her mother's illness, it would be difficult for her father to maintain the family expenses alone, and she would not have entered the mansion to work as a maid.

I know very well the virtues of rich men, so I sincerely hope that she will not waste her life on people who don't know how to cherish her.

Because of the lack of a maid, there was a change in personnel, and those who qualified were promoted to a higher level, so the lowest house servant was only Anna, a newcomer to the house, and then I was filled in and formed a group with her .

As for why it's me instead of Tasha, I think it's because Tasha's appearance is too shameful for the lord.

After returning to the dormitory, I asked Anna about the lord through the chat.During the period after Anna entered the mansion, she could often hear the maids talking about the lord in private, so she learned a lot.When I asked about it, he told me without reservation.

The lord's original name was Edmund Sterling, but after he became a lord, he added the name of the fief to Edmund Tled Stirling.He is 28 years old this year. After his wife died early, he never remarried and has no heirs. He likes to use beautiful women as servants. He has several mistresses, but he refuses to let them live in the mansion.

I sorted out the information I got, and found that none of them were related to holy objects.

When talking to Anna, I don't bring up the relic unless she mentions it first.Although she looks innocent, after all, I have only known her not long ago, and this matter is of great importance, so it is better for me to be more cautious.

Since there is no way to inquire about the holy relic, I decided to find a chance to enter the lord's room.

***

One day, Anna and I walked back after cleaning the hall. When we came to the stairs, I asked casually, "I haven't seen what the second floor looks like, can we go up and have a look?"

Anna glanced up and said, "There is nothing to see, except for a corridor, which is all rooms."

As soon as I heard her say that, I knew it was possible to go up to the second floor.

"I want to go up and take a look," I pretended to look up curiously, "You go to the restaurant first, I'll be there in a while."

Seeing that I insisted on going up, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded and left first.

I stepped on the stairs leading to the second floor, but I didn't stop when I reached the stairs on the second floor, and walked directly to the third floor.

In the past few days, I have found out that the second floor is basically guest rooms, and the third floor is the lord's private domain.His bedroom, study, and living room are all on the third floor.

Because maids with ulterior motives want to get close to the lord, Emilia has clearly stated that no one is allowed to enter the third floor.An honest child like Anna would not dare to go to the third floor casually, but a "dishonest" person like me will definitely find a way to go up.

As a result, I came to the third floor and realized that not everyone can enter here.There were two guards at the stairs, and they stopped me when they saw me coming up.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and knew that the current exclusive handyman was named Madeleine, so I immediately said, "I'm here to find Madeleine. If I don't go in, I'll just wait for her here."

The two guards looked at me, and then one of them said, "Madeleine has left."

I quickly said thank you, turned and went downstairs.

I just wanted to see the terrain on the third floor in advance, but my wish fell through.But it's ok, even if I go to the third floor, there is no room key.This at least let me know that the third floor is guarded.

When walking towards the restaurant, I happened to meet Tasha walking out with a plate.

"Tasha, how are you these days?" I asked with a smile.

Tasha glanced at me and simply replied, "Same as usual."

"Really?" I looked her up and down, then looked at the potato on her dinner plate, and said meaningfully: "I think you've lost weight, you must have eaten too little recently, right?"

Tasha pursed her lips tightly, then walked around me quickly and left without saying anything.

Tch, no newcomers let her skip food, I guess she must not have enough to eat!Let's hope no new outdoor handymen are recruited for a long time, so let her clean the yard alone and hungry!

While eating, I couldn't help but keep looking in Madeleine's direction.She was the red-haired beauty recruited together with Anna, and I also entered the mansion with them.But now, I have just been promoted from an outdoor handyman to an indoor handyman, Anna has always been an indoor handyman, and the red-haired beauty has become an exclusive handyman!

I really want to know how she got promoted so fast!

The positions of maids in the Lord's Mansion are divided into several levels from low to high: outdoor servants, indoor servants, washing servants, kitchen servants, exclusive servants, personal servants, foreman, and housekeeper.

Currently, the housekeeper Talis is also the personal servant, so the red-haired Madeleine's current status is second only to the foreman Emilia.Jumping several levels in a row, how did she do it?

That's the only possibility I can think of.

Anna noticed my gaze and whispered why I kept looking at Madeleine.

I said, "I remember she came in on the same day as you."

Anna nodded and said, "Indeed, we were arranged to live together at first."

Madeleine was an ordinary handyman in the beginning?This surprised me even more.I couldn't help asking Anna: "Then why did she become an exclusive handyman so quickly?"

Before Anna could answer, Hai Li, who was sitting near us, suddenly came over and interjected, "It's not based on relationship!"

Sure enough, it was because of relatives, so I was right.

Haili has been working here for almost a year, and she is still an ordinary handyman, but she cleans the second floor, which is a little easier than Anna and I.Madeleine became an exclusive handyman in less than a month, she must be very sad.

Not only her, I believe other old employees are also aggrieved.

"By relationship?" I asked deliberately surprised.

Haili pulled the chair closer to us, and whispered to us: "She came with a letter of recommendation." Then, she looked around and saw that other people, especially Madeleine, didn't pay attention here. Then he continued, "The lord's grandmother is Princess Catherine, and Catherine's sister Elizabeth married another lord at the time——Reynard of Desas."

This matter sounds a bit complicated, I dare not disturb Haili, so I can only listen quietly.

"Madeleine is from the Desas Lord's Mansion, and she came with a letter from the current Lord." When she said this, Hai Li looked around more cautiously, "It is said—" her voice was already so soft It turned into an angry voice, "She is the illegitimate daughter of the lord of Texas and a certain maid!"

oh god!The news was very shocking.

Anna and I both looked shocked.Hai Li continued to break the news: "According to the law, an illegitimate child has no status, unless her mother can marry his father, but the lord's wife is fine. Besides, even if the lord loses his wife, he will not marry a maid."

"Then why are you sent here to be a maid?" I couldn't figure it out, even if it was an illegitimate daughter, it was still my own daughter, how could I let her be a maid?

Hai Li snorted softly, and her tone became quite disdainful: "Why? Because wishful thinking is a good idea!" Her words made me prick up my ears again, "She or her father must have heard that our lord likes young A beautiful girl, even if it is a maid, I don’t care, so I thought that sending her here might be in the eyes of the lord. Even if the lord looks at her but won’t marry her, it’s better to make her a rich and well-fed mistress than live a lifetime of poverty live."

I:"……"

Isn't that lord of Texas a bit too bastard?Now that you know that illegitimate children have no status and no right to inherit property, why do you want to make your lover pregnant?Even in this day and age without condoms, wouldn't he just ejaculate?

It's so scumbag!
