The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 298: Chapter 298
Chapter 298
First he planned a chance encounter to save her, and then he showed up to propose marriage. It was really well planned.
But what does Li Mao want to do with Chun Xing?
Seeing Bai Qingyan lost in thought, Chun Xing kowtowed again: “The Sixth Young Master of the Shangshu Mansion likes me, and I also like the Sixth Young Master of the Shangshu Mansion! There is absolutely no conspiracy here, please help me, Miss! If you can agree, Chun Xing will repay you even if I have to work like a cow or a horse!”
She came back to her senses and looked down at Chun Xing who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. She didn’t expect Chun Xing to actually say… there is absolutely no conspiracy here.
She underestimated Chun Xing. Chun Xing was much smarter than she thought and should have understood the situation in her heart.
Since Chun Xing understands, that’s fine… Everyone chooses their own path, and they have to bear the consequences themselves.
She added: “You know that you have signed a contract to sell yourself, so your parents have no right to arrange a marriage for you.”
Chun Xing shuddered and looked up at the elder girl timidly: “Elder…Elder girl!”
“You are my personal maid, no different from an ordinary maid. Either… I will find a suitable match for you in the Bai Mansion, or I will sell you off if you offend the master. It would be considered a mercy to spare your life.”
“Big girl?” Chun Xing wasn’t sure what the big girl meant.
“Since you are going to be a concubine in another family, in order to avoid an awkward quarrel between us master and servant in the future, I can only find an excuse to sell you off. Then you can ask your mother to redeem you, and your marriage will have nothing to do with our Bai Mansion.”
Bai Qingyan looked at Chun Xing with calm and indifferent eyes.
Chun Xing opened her eyes wide in shock, but if that was the case… she would no longer be the princess’s personal maid! And when she got married… the princess would definitely not prepare a dowry for her!
“Since you said that the Shangshu Mansion chose you to be the Sixth Young Master’s concubine not because of your identity as my eldest maid, and there is no conspiracy. The Sixth Young Master of the Shangshu Mansion just wants you as a person. Then… even if you no longer have the identity of the princess’s personal maid, the Shangshu Mansion will still want you.”
“But Miss, if I’m sold… I’ll have a stain on my body!” Chun Xing hurriedly crawled forward two steps, “Please have mercy on me, Miss!”
Bai Qingyan looked at Chun Xing, who had always been honest and not showing her intelligence. Now she realized… Chun Xing actually knew everything in her heart, but was a typical person who pretended to be ignorant.
“Chun Xing, you are a maid who has sold her body. It is inappropriate for your parents to find a marriage for you! You can’t have the best of both worlds. You want to climb the social ladder and use your status as the personal maid of the Zhenguo Princess to raise your status. You can’t have all the good things in the world for yourself, right? Although I have always been nice to the maids around me, I will never let them get ahead of me. Do you understand?”
Chun Xing shuddered, her throat churning, and she suddenly thought of Chun Yan.
In terms of affection, the affection between the eldest girl and Chunyan is deeper than hers, but a girl like that made a mistake… and was beaten by the eldest girl and eventually died in prison, so she has always been cautious and never does anything to displease the eldest girl.
I just overstepped my bounds this time, and didn’t hurt the young lady in any way. I just wanted to keep the dignity of having served the young lady… and having been the young lady’s maid. Is that not okay?
Seeing Chun Xing didn’t say anything, Bai Qingyan called out, “Madam Tong…”
Chun Xing shuddered and lowered her head even lower.
Nanny Tong came in and said, “Young lady…”
“Chun Xing, since you have other ideas, I will not force you to stay in my Zhenguo Princess Mansion! You can stay in the woodshed tonight, and I won’t have to trouble Madam Tong to call the matchmaker into the mansion and ask your parents to buy you back. Madam Tong will send someone to notify your parents tomorrow morning to take you home.”
Bai Qingyan’s decision was final.
“Miss! Miss, please give me some dignity! Please, miss, please give me some dignity!” Chun Xing cried.
“You earn your own respect, not someone else’s! You don’t even want the respect of a wife, and now you want the respect of a maid?” Bai Qingyan said calmly, “I won’t tell anyone that you made any mistakes, but I will also make it known that the Zhenguo Princess Mansion will no longer employ you or your relatives in the future. You’d better take care of yourself.”
Chun Xing wanted to beg again, but Nanny Tong pulled her out by grabbing one of her arms.
She coldly watched Chun Xing kneeling and unable to get up, crawling towards her crying: “Miss! Please have mercy on me! Please leave me a way to live!”
“Chun Xing, you are so arrogant that you fell in love with the Sixth Young Master of the Shangshu Mansion and wanted to become his concubine. I didn’t stop you, but since you two love each other, I asked your parents to take you out of the mansion… Why are you not willing to let me let you live? It shows that… you know in your heart why the Shangshu Mansion wants you to be a concubine!”
Chun Xing’s legs went weak and she paused crying as she looked at Bai Qingyan’s cold and indifferent eyes.
“I can’t tolerate people around me having two minds. If you don’t know the reason, I can forgive your ignorance, but you want to pretend to be ignorant and use me to help you gain a better future! That’s not allowed…”
“Miss! Miss, I don’t have it! Please forgive me, Miss!”
Nanny Tong had strong hands. She grabbed Chun Xing’s armpits with both hands and pulled her out while gritting her teeth.
“Miss! Please forgive me! Please consider that Chun Xing has served me for many years and has never overstepped her bounds…”
“If you keep yelling and alarm Mother, I will have no choice but to ask the matchmaker to come into the house.”
Without waiting for Chun Xing to finish, Bai Qingyan spoke with a stern face, without showing any mercy.
Chun Xing immediately fell silent, tears streaming down her face.
But Bai Qingyan’s heart became even colder. This girl Chun Xing… was indeed a smart girl, but the smarter she was, the more disappointed Bai Qingyan felt.
She thought she was very kind to the maids and servants around her, but she raised maids like Chunyan and Chunxing.
Chunyan was really stupid at the time and did stupid things, but at least her love for King Liang was real.
Chun Xing is really smart now but she still does stupid things because she treats everyone else as fools and only wants to climb up the social ladder.
Servants like Chun Xing are more hateful than Chun Yan and need to be guarded against more.
Let Chun Xing go to the woodshed today, and let Chun Xing’s parents take her back tomorrow. Also, spread the word that the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion will never employ Chun Xing or any family related to Chun Xing in the future. Even if the Duke’s Mansion does not say what mistake Chun Xing made, others can guess that Chun Xing must have made a big mistake.
In this way, even if the Shangshu Mansion still wants Chun Xing, the maid who was driven out of the mansion by her master and made a mistake, she can’t be used for any other purpose except to inquire about Chun Xing’s affairs.
Fortunately, Bai Qingyan didn’t trust Chun Xing too much, and usually avoided Chun Xing when doing things.
The fact that Chun Xing was locked in the woodshed by Nanny Tong soon spread to everyone in the Duke’s Mansion. Everyone was talking about it and speculating on what mistake Chun Xing had made.
The third update is here…
The bald author is probably getting old, and he seems to be having trouble catching up after the burst of updates.
