Chapter 1107: She Wants to Be the Concubine of the Marquis
insomnia.""Don't you have trouble sleeping at night Do you wake up quickly even if you fall asleep, and can't get a good night's rest"That person nodded in agreement with Dr. Zhong's words, "Dr. Zhon...Chapter 1107: She Wants to Become the Concubine of the Duke
Fang Jinxiu stood aside without speaking, quietly watching the two.
As soon as Xiao Yue finished her question, Qin Qianqian's tears started falling even faster and she began to sob.
She stared at Fang Jinxiu with tears in her eyes, shaking her head desperately. If she didn't believe Xiao Yue's character, she might have been deceived by Qin Qianqian's tears.
"I have no wife."
"I, I just want to repay the madam and stay by her side to serve her."
Xiaoyue finally revealed her purpose, her brows furrowed tightly.
It's not that she was afraid Qin Qianqian's presence would affect her own status. If the mistress needed it, even if a hundred maidservants were kept by her side, she wouldn't mind.
She had served the mistress for so many years, coming to understand her habits. She knew that the mistress was very independent and could manage herself well even without a maid's service.
Secondly, the current status of the Marquis is different. The maids brought into the courtyard had better not have so many thoughts. What if they tempted the Marquis with inappropriate intentions Wouldn't that cause trouble for the Madam
Thirdly, Madam appreciates tranquility, especially in her dwelling.
Based on these three considerations, she did not place the maidservants in the main courtyard. She still used the few people she had brought from Jinshu Mountain Villa.
She really had no opinion of Qin Qianqian, and she wasn't intentionally making things difficult for her by not letting her enter the main courtyard.
"But the main courtyard doesn't need that many maidservants. There aren't many literate servants in the Hou residence, and since you have such talent, why waste it here"
Xiao Yue felt that letting Qin Qianqian do things in a place where she was needed would be the best use of her talents. If she did well, she would also become a capable assistant to the mistress in the future.
Qin Qianqian's lips began to tremble when she heard this, and her eyes were red with tears.
Suddenly she began banging her head against Xiaoyue, *dong dong dong*, each blow making a resounding noise, it sounded painful to hear.
Little Yue was terrified, "What are you doing! Get up, I can't stand such a grand gesture from you."
She stepped forward to pull Qin Qianqian up, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge her. The other's knee seemed to be stuck to the floor, it was truly strange.
"Little Yuejie, just consider this my plea."
"Just give me a chance to stay by the mistress's side to repay her life-saving grace. I promise I won't fight you for anything, I'll do whatever you ask, and I'll obey you in everything."
"You won't let me see my lady, so I won't leave. All I ask is a chance to stay here, even if it means doing the most menial and exhausting work of sweeping the floors, I'm willing."
"Please, Xiaoyue Jie, please."
Xiaoyue had never seen such a scene before, and she gradually became flustered, not knowing what to do. She could only cast a pleading look towards Fang Jinshu.
"Madam, this..." What should I do about this
Fang Jinshu no longer watched the play. She had seen through it - Xiao Yue, although capable and loyal, still lacked understanding of human nature.
She is no match for Qin Qianqian right now.
She stood up, "You can stay if you want."
Hearing this, Qin Qianqian's eyes lit up. She turned her head and started kowtowing desperately to Fang Jinshu, expressing her gratitude.
She felt a little physically uncomfortable.
"Wait a moment, I'm not finished speaking yet."
"Your father has done us a favor, if it weren't for Mr.'s guidance, Zongbei's studies wouldn't have progressed so quickly."
"As for you, we certainly won't mistreat you, making you do the dirty and tiring work."
"Well, summer is just around the corner. That little pond in the yard has been neglected anyway. And I don't need anyone tending to me inside; Xiaoyue can handle it all by herself."
"If you're willing, stay and help me manage the pond. We can plant some lotus and raise some koi fish. If not, you can always go back to being in charge of the storeroom."
"I'll give you double the silver."
Qin Qianqian chose the former without hesitation.
"I'm willing to stay and help Madam tend the pond!"
"Don't want monthly pay."
Fang Jinxiu smiled. "Okay, you can stay here."
Qin Qianqian was still a little confused. She really stayed in the main courtyard Was it that simple
"Do you have any other questions"
She shook her head quickly.
"Since there are no problems, why don't you get up and start packing things away"
"Little Yue, the room you arranged for her, I see there's an empty room in your place, why not let Qianqian live there"
Xiaoyue seemed to have something to say, but upon seeing Fang Jinshu's gaze, she swallowed and nodded.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
"Qianqian, you go back and pack your things first."
Qin Qianqian nodded hurriedly, tears no longer falling, visibly happy.
Only after she left did Xiaoyue furrow her brow and ask Fang Jinxiu.
"Madam, my room is next to yours and the Marquis's bedroom. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for Miss Qianqian to move in"
Fang Jinshu smiled. "If she didn't live close by, I wouldn't let her stay here."
Xiaoyue was stunned. What did the madam mean
Intentional
Could she have seen through something
At this time, hurried footsteps sounded again in the courtyard, but they stopped on the steps at the entrance.
"Who are you This is the mistress's courtyard, not a place for lowly maids like you to trespass!"
A servant from the outer court stopped that person.
Then came the voice of Hibiscus, her tone still a little hurried.
"I wish to see the Madam. There is an urgent matter I need to report."
"You better get out of my way!"
Fang Jinshu and Xiaoyue glanced at each other. Today, her courtyard was so lively, with people coming one after another.
"Come on, let's see what important business she has with me again."
Xiaoyue nodded.
As soon as Fang Jinxiu appeared, she knelt down. She knew her actions were inappropriate, but Madam had been kind to her, and she couldn't just stand by while Madam was being schemed against.
"Madam, you cannot let Qin Qianqian enter the main courtyard. That girl's motives for entering the main courtyard are impure."
Fang Jinshu raised her hand to interrupt her.
It's absolutely crucial to prevent Mu Jin from revealing Qin Qianqian's intentions in front of so many people. What would be the point of anything afterward
"All of you, step back. Mulan, come with me."
"It is the mistress."
Mu Jin got up and followed into the room. Fang Jinxiu sat down, and she stood aside just about to kneel when she was stopped by her.
"Stand up and speak."
Mu Jin retracted her kneeling posture upon hearing this, and was actually quite obedient. In that regard, she was much better than Qin Qianqian.
At least, don't play the moral kidnapping card.
"You just said some things, explain them to me. I've never liked it when maids fight amongst themselves. If you falsely accuse her and slander her, you'll get a beating."
Hibiscus wore a serious expression, her face so solemn it seemed like she was about to raise her hand and swear on heaven.
"Madam, what Hibiscus says next is the truth. If a single word is false, may heaven strike me with lightning."
Fan Jinshi saw her make a poisonous oath and couldn't help but shake her head, "Go on then, tell me what happened."
"My lady, Qin Qianqian's goal in entering the main courtyard is the Marquis."
She wanted to climb into bed and become the lord's concubine.
No need to be so blunt, this girl is really straightforward.
"Do you have any evidence"
The hibiscus nodded, "Yes."uman growth often happens in the blink of an eye."Sister, I want Elder Zong San to die."Fang Jinshu nodded. "Good."Even if Tiezhu didn't say anything, she wouldn't let Zong Lao San off the hook.Yu Lia...
