Chapter 17: Unexpected
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This person, wasn't it good to live her own life? She had to use her status to do evil things, drag others into the water, and ruin another woman's life.
If this kind of woman had not been born in the Pei family, Qu Fulan would have directly poisoned her to death.
When they returned to the small courtyard, Hai Xia immediately came up to them. "Sister Hai Tang, how is Second Miss's condition? The old lady asked you to go and take a look. Have you seen her?"
Qu Fulan revealed a suitable expression of self-blame. "My medical skills are not good enough. I can't tell what the symptoms are."
"She's just a little maidservant. She really thinks she's a doctor!" Hai Chun snorted coldly.
From the first time she had been refused to change beds, until later when she found out that Hai Tang was her biggest competitor, Hai Chun had been displeased with Hai Tang in all ways.
However, her sister told her not to provoke Hai Tang, saying that she was now valued by the old lady. Hai Chun would not listen to her sister's words. It would only be comfortable if she mocked Hai Tang every few days.
However, Hai Tang had never paid attention to her, treating her like air. Instead, it was this Hai Xia person who was opposing her. As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, the other party spoke.
Hai Xia asked, "Did we talk to you? No! So, please shut up. No one will think you're mute if you don't speak! You're a devil! Are you a pig if you're not a maidservant?"
Hai Chun's face was very ugly. She was about to say something, but she remembered her sister's repeated instructions and immediately turned to leave.
She could only wait. Although Sister Yue Yuan didn't like her now, she had a way. It wouldn't be long before she became a second-rank servant girl. At that time, she would deal with these two servant girls!
Hai Xia started to comfort the others. "Sister Hai Tang need not blame herself. The doctors in the residence cannot see it, so you need not blame yourself if you cannot see it."
"Yes," Qu Fulan replied.
At night, Qu Fulan lay on the bed and thought about a problem.
There was a limited number of words in a novel, but there was no limit to life. She could refer to the plot, but she couldn't rely too much on it. Adapting to the situation was the best way.
Fortunately, God gave her an interspace and helped her a lot. Otherwise, in this ancient society that ate people without spitting out their bones, she was a low-ranking servant. Other people could crush her like an ant with two fingers.
However, although the space was good, it couldn't make her omnipotent. She still had to find a way to get rid of her slave status.
Regarding this point, Qu Fulan had carefully analyzed it with the original plot.
Old Lady Pei was a kind person. If she could accumulate a certain amount of merit, she could ask Old Lady Pei to let her have the title deed and Old Lady Pei would definitely agree.
The prerequisite was that she had to become the old lady's personal maidservant. Only then would she have the opportunity to make more contributions.
As for why she didn't rely on the male protagonist Xiao Shiqing to get rid of her slave status after dressing up as the female protagonist, there was naturally a reason. In the original novel, the female protagonist relied on the male protagonist to get rid of her slave status, but in the end, her ending...
Qu Fulan did not want to repeat the lives of others. She wanted to plan her own life.
The next day.
Hai Xia went out for a walk as usual before returning with the latest news from the manor.
"I heard that last night, Second Miss was tortured for an entire night and the entire third household was filled with the screams of a breakdown. It was said that it only stopped in the morning, and now, the Second Miss is able to sleep."
After all, it was not her own family that was being tortured. Therefore, when Hai Xia talked about other people's affairs, she was more or less just there to watch the fun.
Everything was going according to plan, but Qu Fulan put on an expression of surprise and sympathy. "How pitiful."
Hai Xia replied, "Isn't that so? I heard that her face was scratched by her, and I don't know if she's disfigured. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what kind of sin has she committed?"
The events of the previous night had been brewing for the entire night. There were so many people in the Pei family, and many of them must have known what had happened. That was why Hai Xia was able to find out so much.
The doctor also said that the Second Miss's illness was strange and there was no way to treat it. As such, even the doctor did not know when the rashes would disappear.
However, the doctor had also said that the only way to save her was to find the Snow Mountain Mustard from the borders. There were records in medical books that said that the Snow Mountain Mustard could cure many chronic illnesses, knife wounds, and arrow wounds. The soldiers on the borders had been saved many times by this Snow Mountain Mustard and were heavily reliant on it.
However, it was hard to find grass in the snow mountain, and it was not easy to find one.
Now, the Second Miss would have to depend on her fate.
After Yue Yuan and Hua Hao knew the result of the matter, they were first stunned, and then they actually felt a touch of retribution in their hearts.
"Perhaps it's retribution for the sins she has committed in the past." Yue Yuan sneered.
Hua Hao was silent, but her expression was also happy.
At that time, the Second Miss had not yet married and was learning to be a housekeeper from the Second Madam. For the sake of her father's official connections, she sent a maidservant who had just reached marriageable age and was engaged to someone else to her father's colleague and let her be a concubine. In the end, the maidservant died in less than a year.
It was also from that time that they knew that whether a servant was good or bad, it all depended on their master's words. Even if they were now the senior maidservants by the old lady's side and the old lady treated them well, they did not dare to be arrogant.
Now that they saw their own kind almost suffer the same method, they were extremely disgusted in the depths of their heart, but they were helpless.
Fortunately, the heavens had eyes this time and prevented another misfortune.
If other maidservants wanted to climb into their master's bed and turn over to be their master, that was their business. They only knew that they would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine.
...
The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day Hai Xing left the house.
There was an unwritten rule in the Pei Residence that a maidservant who was preparing to get married could ask for a favor from her master.
Basically, as long as the request was not too excessive, the master would satisfy the request in the face of a happy event.
Hai Xing had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
Her family's condition was not good. Her older brother had not married yet, and she had a younger brother to support. She also needed to support her own family to survive.
Now that she was going to leave the residence and get married, without this allowance, the family's days would definitely be difficult. At that time, she would also be implicated when she went to her husband's family and would not be able to raise her head.
Only when her younger sister replaced her position could the family situation be maintained and she could be more decent in her husband's family.
Hai Chun had long known about her sister's plan, so she had been tolerating Hai Xia and Hai Tang these days. After today, her good days would come. On the contrary, their good days would come to an end.
Hai Xing knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady seriously. "This servant has received the old lady's love. This servant has lived in the residence for so many years and has not had the time to repay the old lady's kindness. Now that I am about to leave the residence and get married, I feel ashamed. Thus, I want to let my younger sister Hai Chun take my place to fulfill my unfinished wish. I hope that the old lady will agree."
At this time, there were a few maidservants standing beside the old lady, including Hai Tang. Sister Yue Yuan had asked her to come over. She said that after Hai Xing left, she would kowtow to the old lady and the matter would be settled.
She didn't expect Hai Xing to do this.
Yue Yuan's expression changed.
