Ever since Gu Xianâer returned from the Gu family, she had been promoted as a second-class maid.
She guessed that it was probably because Nanny Qian had told her about her relationship with Gu Yundong that Young Madam had such intentions. Perhaps she wanted her to help do something.
However, Young Madam did not see her much after that. This made Gu Xianâer feel a little conflicted.
Fortunately, as a second-class maid, her work became much easier. Her monthly salary was also raised, and she even had the time to dress up.
She even understood a lot of things in the Peng Residence. For example⦠Young Madam was a jealous and scheming person, and Concubine Xia was favored. Young Master liked women with curves. Be it concubines or servant girls, they were all this type.
Unexpectedly, Nanny Qian came over today to say that Young Madam was looking for her.
Gu Xianâer tidied her clothes and hair before following Nanny Qian to the Ruyi Garden obediently.
There was no one else in Madam Yaoâs house other than her. When she saw Gu Xianâer, she looked up slightly.
âHave a seat.â
Gu Xianâer was flattered and carefully sat down on a chair at the side.
A trace of disdain flashed across Madam Yaoâs eyes. She took a sip of tea and asked, âI heard that you and that girl called Gu Yundong are cousins?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes, Young Madam. Gu Yundong is indeed my cousin. Itâs just thatâ¦â She hesitated. âShe doesnât have a good relationship with me.â
âThen how well do you know her? Do you think the young master will like her?â
Gu Xianâer was stunned. For some reason, she felt excited. However, she still looked like she was thinking carefully. After a moment, she said uncertainly, âI donât think so. Young Madam, my cousin used to be very weak. I donât know what happened on her way to escape. She has changed a lot.â
âOh? Whatâs changed?â
âItâs just that sheâs bold. In the past, she cried at the drop of a hat and didnât like to go out. But that day, when I saw her in Yongfu Village, I felt that she wasnât messy at all. She talked to people in a very organized way and didnât look like a country girl at all. I donât know if someone taught her.â
She frowned in thought and answered as if she was not scheming at all.
However, Madam Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. Did someone teach her?
âThen why do you think that Young Master wonât like her?â
Gu Xianâer touched her head and said softly, âI just think that she looks average. Be it her temperament or appearance, sheâs far inferior to Madam. Young Master would never like her. Moreover, if Young Master really likes her, why didnât he just take her as a concubine instead of letting her hang out with other men in that countryside?â
âIs that so?â
âYes, so Young Madam doesnât need to care about her at all.â
Madam Yao chuckled softly and rubbed the lid of the cup with her fingers. âBut why do I feel that Master seems to think highly of her?â
âWellâ¦â Gu Xianâer thought for a moment and said, âPerhaps something happened between the two of them? Perhaps my cousin helped Young Master before? Thatâs why Young Master looks at her differently. It might not be a romantic relationship. Otherwise, my cousin, who has been working so hard with her silly mother and young siblings, wouldâve hurried into the manor to enjoy life after meeting someone like Young Master, right?â
Madam Yao nodded. âWhat you said makes sense.â
âActually, itâs very simple if you want to know whatâs going on between the two of them,â Gu Xianâer said softly.
âTell me..â
