âSuch a vicious woman deserves it!â several maids said one after another.
âXiao Yishan may look frightening, but he is actually quite affectionate and considerate,â Steward Fang praised, âNow that the Xiao Family is wealthy, the three sons have married one wife together, and many matchmakers have asked if he wanted to remarry, but he has always declined. Everyone knows that the Xiao Familyâs wealth comes from their wife, Su Qingyue, but itâs actually all registered in the names of the Xiao Familyâs three sons. His wife is nothing more than a purchased woman, and I heard that she hasnât even registered their marriage at the government office, which means sheâs still a servant. Yet, he is quite determined and takes control of the Xiao Familyâs finances. Instead of enjoying his time as the head of the family, he works part-time in the town to earn his own money. Such a good man is rare these days.â
âOh, that sounds good,â Huanâer, the maid, kept looking at Xiao Yishan, âIt would be nice to marry him.â
Biâer said, âHuanâer, donât think too much. You have signed a death contract as a servant at the Fang Mansion, and if you want to get married, the Fang Mansion has to release you first.â
Huanâer had a sorrowful expression on her face, âThatâs true. Our fate as servants is such that we donât know when the master will casually assign us to a senior worker in the mansion. If we are even more unlucky, we might be sold into a kiln.â@@novelbin@@
Biâer asked, âSteward Fang, how do you know so much about the Xiao Familyâs affairs?â
âEveryone in Wushan Village knows about it. The Xiao Family has made a fortune now, and practically everyone in Longwan Town knows about it. But what others say may not be true. What I said earlier is not false. People from Wushan Village, who know the Xiao Family, told me personally,â said Steward Fang, âIf my daughter hadnât already been engaged, I would want her to marry Xiao Yishan. His wife is just a slave with a deed of sale in the Xiao Family. It doesnât matter whose money the Xiao Family has, they are now a great money master with a hundred acres of farmland. If they donât ruin their fortune, their days will be very good. Xiao Yishanâs two younger brothers are said to be of good character, but one of them is disabled in both legs. However, the Xiao Family has so much land, and their house is newly built with twelve rooms. Even if they have to support dozens of people, one disabled person is nothingâ¦â
Several maids, after hearing the housekeeperâs words, couldnât help but sneak glances at Xiao Yishan.
As Xiao Yishan, who was carrying bricks with a carrying pole, sensed the maidsâ gazes from the mansion, he glanced over and continued to work expressionlessly.
The maids laughed and chatted, but all of them had deeds of sale in the Fang Mansion, so they didnât take it seriously.
Only Li Rongâer, the head maid standing at the corner, had it in mind.
She gazed at Xiao Yishanâs tanned skin and strong figure from afar. As his sweat flowed from his shoulders into his waistband, she stared at him intently, her mouth dry and her tongue parched.
Other maids said that no matter how rich he is, his appearance is terrifying and not approachable.
But Li Rongâer liked this strong and healthy man. Even if Xiao Yishanâs face were ruined, his wealth would be enough to make up for his defective appearance. Besidesâ¦
She knew all too well what poverty meant.
Her deed of sale was a living contract, which would expire in a few days. Within these days, she must make Xiao Yishan marry her.
Steward Fang scolded the maids to hurry and get back to work, and then he left.
As the head maid of the Fang Mansion, Li Rongâer served Miss Fang and was more privileged than other servants. Because she was always with the young lady, she had gained her favor and gradually became her accompanying reader. Among the servants in the mansion, she was the only one who could read and write.
