Chapter 34
"You used to be a proud and arrogant girl."
"Ma'am, you're joking. How can you be so arrogant and arrogant that you deserve to be a slave? It's just that you have high ambitions and low hands, and you don't know what's good or bad."
Lin Yunwan looked at him with admiration: "You are really rude to yourself."
Zhuqing smiled bitterly: "I have learned a lesson. If I hadn't taken advantage of the fact that I was the prince's maid, and saw that the prince was neglecting you, I would have dared to offend you... It will come down to this.”
Lin Yunwan also thought of the past and said, "You are the prince's brother-in-law. It is not easy for me to deal with you."
"But you are unlucky. You have been in the Marquis Mansion for so many years, and you are also an old man in the manor. You actually embarrassed me when I was the housekeeper. If the old lady doesn't punish you, there is no way for the bride to establish her authority, so she can only punish you heavily. "
Zhuqing kowtowed and said, "I was young, energetic and ignorant at that time. I have really repented."
Lin Yunwan nodded: "I won't talk about the past. This time when I came here, I already mentioned to the old lady about taking you back. Have you thought about it, are you really willing?"
Zhuqing was overjoyed and cried, "I am willing! I am willing!"
"Go and change your clothes first. You really don't look good right now. I'll tell you in detail after you've finished dressing up."
Taoye took Zhuqing to the next door.
Pingye looked at Zhuqing's back and said in confusion: "This Zhuangzi can really turn a person into something completely different from before?"
"When Miss Zhuqing left, although I was young, I still remembered Miss Zhuqing's proud chin, and she never looked at us. I really didn't expect that she would be as miserable as she is now."
Lin Yunwan said: "From a first-class maid to a coolie on Zhuangzi, it would be the same for anyone else."
But when she first saw Zhu Qing, she was also shocked. The gap was really too big. I thought Zhuqing would continue to be aloof and arrogant, and live a life like a lotus flower that was unsullied from the mud, but it turned out not to be the case, and she still gave in.
"lady."
Zhuqing came over after changing her clothes, and Taoye also put some makeup on her, making her look like she was a different person. Her figure is thicker than before, but she still has the slenderness of a woman. Her appearance is not as good as before, but she also has a different charm.
Lin Yunwan looked at her and said, "You were outstanding in appearance and talent before, and you will be outstanding again when you come back to raise me."
Zhu Qing shook her head hurriedly: "No, I don't want to stand out anymore."
She knelt down and said, "This slave just wants to follow the madam and look after her."
Lin Yunwan said lightly: "Then you can't do what you want."
Zhuqing's heart tightened. She really couldn't let go of the opportunity she finally got to survive!
Lin Yunwan said: "I wonder if you have heard about the affairs in the mansion from Zhuangzi. There are two stepsons in the mansion, but the prince has no biological children of his own. I thought that you had served the prince, and I wanted to make you his concubine. room."
"With your previous status, you should have become the prince's concubine."
Zhu Qing looked at Lin Yunwan carefully, not sure whether the lady was testing her.
She said: "Slave, slave... I don't covet the prince. I just want to be my lady's maid."
Lin Yunwan dispelled her doubts: "As you think, the prince would rather have a stepson than a legitimate son. Instead of choosing another girl to give birth to a bastard for the prince, it would be better to choose you. You know the advantages, but the disadvantage is, you want If you want something, you have to fight for it yourself.”
Zhuqing was shattered by joy.
“He, slave…”
She refused to marry in Zhuangzi, not because she had seen the prosperity of the Marquis Mansion and had been with noble men, and could no longer tolerate peasants.
"My slave is willing."
Zhuqing said firmly.
Lin Yunwan sent Zhu Qing away, and wanted to choose another beautiful girl. She told Mother Yuan: "Make it clear that you are entering the palace to serve the prince, and you must be voluntary."
Mother Yuan smiled: "Madam, you are too worried. They are all vying to be the maids in the prince's mansion, and they serve the prince. Who wouldn't want to?"
Lin Yunwan said nothing.
But after picking and choosing, I couldn't find anything suitable. I only selected seven or eight girls who were suitable for doing odd jobs.
"Mother."
Lu Changgong came back after sweating all over.
Lin Yunwan rewarded Zhuangtou for taking good care of him, and asked Lu Changgong to wash up.
Lu Changgong took out some fruits from his arms and said they were picked by him.
Lin Yunwan told Pingye: "Go and wash it, and eat it at night."
Zhuqing came over and said, "Madam, I'm here to wash you."
Lin Yunwan nodded, and Pingye let Zhuqing go.
Suddenly there was a new person in front of his mother. Lu Changgong didn't even look at him, as if he didn't care.
Lin Yunwan explained to him: "I used to serve the crown prince. This time I come back with us and I will continue to serve you. Maybe I will give birth to a younger brother for you in the future."
Lu Changgong was not interested.
When everyone returned the next day, Lin Yunwan did not take Lu Changgong back to the Hou Mansion first, but took a detour to his original home.
"Go and have a look."
Lin Yunwan patted Lu Changgong's shoulder.
He looked at the small yard not far away and pursed his lips, wanting to go but not daring to go.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Lu Changgong's eyes turned red: "Thank you, mother! I'll be back soon."
Went off at a trot.
Taoye was afraid that something would happen to him, so she followed him quietly.
Not long after, Lu Changgong came back, feeling very depressed and silent.
"So fast?"
Lin Yunwan asked in surprise. Taoye winked at her and she stopped asking.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Taoye said to Lin Yunwan in private: "There are already women's clothes in the yard."
Lin Yunwan was stunned for a moment and said: "When the adopted Long Gong came, the Lu family gave his biological father a very generous sum of money. His ex-wife died, and the son adopted him to the Hou Mansion. With the money in hand, it is human nature to marry again. .”
"Chang Gong's biological father is also in poor health and needs someone to take care of him. With a new wife, he may not miss Chang Gong."
She lowered her head and didn't drink from the tea cup.
Taoye said: "Having said that, Young Master Changgong is still sad."
Lin Yunwan sighed and said, "Let's give him a cup of Wu Miao Soup to soothe his nerves at night."
"yes."
Lu Changgong was very good at hiding his thoughts. When he came to Chuisi Hall for class the next day, he was still focused and not distracted at all.
Lin Yunwan was worried instead, fearing that he might hold it back.
"If you feel sad, rest and don't hold on."
Lu Changgong shook his head and said, "My son is not sad." He looked into Lin Yunwan's eyes and said, "My son is very happy. My son was still guilty at first, but now he no longer feels guilty, and he can be filial to you wholeheartedly."
Lin Yunwan was a little shocked.
In her previous life, she had never heard such a word from Brother Qing's mouth!
"Madam, young master, please have some tea."
Zhuqing came in to serve tea.
The matter of raising a concubine required Lu Zhengliu's own consent, which was not easy to accomplish. He took it step by step, and now Zhu Qing is serving her casually in her yard for a while.
But Lin Yunwan already had an idea.
