le-aged woman, and even with the status of a high official's daughter, no prominent families would want her.To marry someone of lower status than herself would be a disgrace to the Prime Minister's ho...Chapter 1106: How Could She Have the Chance to See the Marquis

I couldn't even say what I wanted to. After being tossed and turned all night by Zongyu, I was exhausted and fell asleep in the end.

When she woke up, everyone had already gone out on business.

She got up with an aching back and called out to Xiaoyue twice outside the door, but it was Qin Qianqian who came in.

Upon seeing her face, Fang Jinshu was taken aback.

With so much going on lately, I completely forgot about her.

After returning from the manor, these purchased servants, including Qin Qianqian, were directly handed over to Chang He for management and allocation. The maids assigned to the inner courtyard were temporarily overseen by Xiaoyue, while Zhao Yuni was still helping her manage the manor in Jinshiu Mountain Villa.

Qin Qianqian and Mu Jin should both have been assigned positions as ordinary maids, but since they were willing to come to Houfu, weren't they seeking a stable life It shouldn't matter where they served.

The treatment at the Marquis's residence was not bad, it could even be said to be very good and comfortable.

Qin Qianqian is this, dissatisfied with her current job so she sought an opportunity to appear before her

At that moment, Fang Jinshu's mind raced with many thoughts, but after thinking of Mr. Qin's kindness to Zong Bai and this girl's plight, she softened her heart slightly.

"Qianqian, how is it you"

"Where's Xiaoyue"

Fan Jinshu pretended not to know that she was deliberately looking for her, and asked as she got up.

When Qin Qianqian came in, a flash of unease crossed her eyes, but when she saw Fang Jinshu didn't get angry, she felt a little more courageous.

She hurriedly took the clothes hanging nearby and helped Fang Jinxiu get dressed.

"The Hou Mansion is so vast, I got lost and accidentally stumbled into madam's courtyard. I wanted to leave, but hearing madam calling for 'Little Yue Sister,' I thought you must have woken up and needed tending to, so I mustered the courage to come in."

"Little Yue Sister may have thought Mistress would still sleep for a while, that's why she wasn't waiting at the door. She definitely didn't mean to, please don't blame Little Yue Sister, Mistress."

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu's eyebrows shot up. When had she ever said she was going to blame Xiaoyue

And Xiaoyue also knew that she never allowed anyone to serve her with dressing, washing up, or anything else. She always did it herself.

It doesn't matter if she is or not.

This Qin Qianqian, as an ordinary maid, dared to enter the master's courtyard and instead of admitting her mistake, she shifted the blame onto Xiaoyue.

The hints, both directly and indirectly, were all reminding her that Xiaoyue was neglecting her duties.

Fang Jinshu didn't particularly like Qin Qianqian's mannerisms and personality. She pulled her clothes back, showing no change in expression on her face.

"It's okay, I'll put it on myself."

"Wait for me outside."

She's really not used to having someone kneel before her and wait on her hand and foot. She prefers to do things herself, it's more efficient.

Qin Qianqian suddenly knelt down in a flurry of panic, her eyes filled with tears as she looked up at her.

"Madam, you're saying that Qi'an is clumsy and not as attentive as Xiao Yue"

"Qi'an had never done any housework before, so she was always considered clumsy wherever she went and ended up being sold many times. It's all my fault."

"My lady saved Qianqian, yet Qianqian couldn't even do this small thing to repay her."

"I, I'm so useless."

Well, seeing Qin Qianqian's teardrops falling one after another, Fang Jinshu subconsciously moved two steps to the side.

There was no sympathy on his face, instead a trace of disgust flashed between his brows.

"Where were you assigned to serve before this"

At this time, Xiaoyue entered with a basin of wash water and was taken aback to see Qin Qianqian kneeling on the ground.

"How could she be here"

Qin Qianqian hurriedly lowered her head, looking like she was afraid of being scolded by Xiaoyue. She moved closer to Fang Jinxiu's side but didn't stand up, remaining on her knees.

Xiaoyue knew that her mistress hated it when servants knelt before her without a reason. In her mistress's words, it was like moral blackmail.

Fang Jinxiu wore an innocent expression, indicating that she had no idea why Qin Qianqian was here.

It seems like you weren't satisfied with the previous arrangements, so you went straight to her.

"I'm not blaming you, get up first."

Fāng Jǐnxiù chatted while quickly dressing herself. Xiǎoyu frowned and came over to try and pull Qín Qiànqiàn up.

Although she was Fang Jinshu's maid, when there were no outsiders around, the relationship between mistress and servant wasn't so formal. They got along more like sisters.

Qin Qianqian saw Xiaoyue disrespect Fang Jinshu, not even bowing, and her attitude was so bad. What's worse, she pulled Xiaoyue up and scolded her, while Fang Jinshu watched with a doting look, then walked over to wash her face.

Her gums were clenched with jealousy.

Little Yue, like her, was also a woman who had been ravaged by bandits, and she couldn't even read. She didn't know half as much as her.

He wasn't as good-looking as her, so why was she favored so much by Fang Jinxiu

And she, her father was still the husband of Zong Er Gongzi's master! Such a big relationship was right there, yet after entering Houfu Fang Jinxiu didn't even glance at her once, just sending her to the warehouse to do registration work, so far from the main courtyard.

Even Qiujing, who once didn't know her place and was unwilling to stay by her side, can now serve the old mistress, becoming a senior maid, enjoying the limelight with people under her command.

Qin Qianqian was unwilling to accept this, and she couldn't understand why Xiaoyue could do something she also could. Fang Jinshi should have reused her instead!

"Madam, allow me to take her out first."

"Qianqian might have gone to the wrong place."

Fang Jinshi was just about to nod when Qin Qianqian realized she hadn't come to the wrong place. She had finally found this opportunity to appear in front of Fang Jinshi while Xiaoyue wasn't around. If she left now, all her efforts would be wasted.

She broke free from Xiaoyue's grasp, uttered a casual "please" and once again knelt before Fang Jinshu.

Fang Jinxiu's impatience was almost impossible to hide from her eyes.

"What do you mean"

Little Moon's face began to look bad.

"Qianqian, are you dissatisfied with your current position"

At first, Qin Qianqian was assigned to the kitchen because they needed someone literate for purchasing. Xiao Yue thought purchasing wasn't a very demanding job; she just had to follow along when buying things and ensure the accounts were accurate. She wouldn't have to do much work herself, so it would be relatively easy. That's why she placed Qin Qianqian there.

Grocery shopping is a great job, it's easy and you get to go out often, plus the pay is good.

How many people have been eyeing this spot Xiaoyue knew that Madam felt sorry for Qin Qianqian's situation, and added to that, Mr. Qin’s death, she felt guilty towards her, so she discussed with Changhe about arranging for her to work in the kitchen as a purchasing clerk.

Qin Qianqian refused outright, saying she couldn't do it.

Xiaoyue saw her cold expression and thought that she had suffered too much over the years, so she was afraid to contact outsiders and therefore rejected this job. So Xiaoyue took the trouble to arrange a new position for her again.

Taking care of the mistress's storeroom, keeping records and such, is pretty easy and doesn't involve dealing with too many people.

Qin Qianqian agreed on the surface, but in her heart, she was certain that Xiao Yue was deliberately retaliating against her. Wasn't she just disobeying her To transfer her to a warehouse where even ghosts couldn't see, wasn't this afraid that she would appear in front of the mistress too often, affecting her position as a senior maid

Since that date, Qin Qianqian had quietly harbored resentment towards Xiao Yue.

This was her only chance, no matter what, she had to stay in Fang Jinshi's courtyard.

Otherwise, how could she have the opportunity to see the Marquiso tell you in three days, I can't say it earlier, or else it would be a violation of military orders.""Sister-in-law, why don't you wait one more day I'll tell you tomorrow, alright"Hearing this, Fang...
