Chapter 28 – Maidservant (2)

Mama Li had the same doubts of her own when she heard Cui Ping’s speculation, “So you’re implying that it is Sheng Peiyin who has been misleading Third Miss?”

Cui Ping nodded slightly, “I’m afraid so.”

“Return and keep an eye on Third Miss, if she wants to, just let her promote the two maidservants. We will eventually make her know that in this family, she is not the one making the decisions.” Her tone weaved with discontent.

“Ai.” Cui Ping responded.

The next morning, Mama Li promoted both Hong Yu and Hong Ying to second-ranked maidservants, and transferred all the second-ranked maidservants stationed next to Shen Ziqiao by Old Madam, but Cui Ping and Cui Hong, to other places.

Shen Ziqiao had yet to express any qualms against Mama Li’s arrangement.

Hong Yu and Hong Ying were both extremely happy, having not expected to be promoted to second-ranked maidservants so soon. They had wanted to kowtow before Shen Ziqiao but were instead stopped by their master herself. When Cui Ping and Cui Hong came to serve Shen Ziqiao this early morning, they had found their primary jobs were handed over to both Hong Yu and Hong Ying instead, leaving them to stand neglected by the sidelines awkwardly.

Brimming with smiles, Cui Ping presented a cup of tea for her master, “Third Miss seems to be in a very good mood these past few days, is it because of a specific incident?”

Shen Ziqiao took hold of the teacup and slowly scraped the rim of the teacup with its lid, “Do I look like I am in a very good mood? Whatever incident could have possibly made me happy?”

She had initially believed that to find a sincere maidservant one would have to spend a considerable amount of effort, and to have such maidservants who were devoted to defending their master, would be a stroke of great luck.

She was ecstatic to have both Hong Yu and her sister, both of whom unmentioned in the book when she read it. It seems that her transmigration into the book triggered variances in some of the characters’ destinies.

Shen Ziqiao was extremely glad to see these changes, as it is proof that there was a chance for her to alter her own destiny.

Naturally, what happened at Qiao Xin Courtyard reached both elder Shen sisters’ ears without missing out any details. When Shen Zifen reached Shen Ziwen’s room, she asked, “Eldest sister, have you heard? The one at Qiao Xin Courtyard now dares to drive away Old Madam’s people.”

Shen Ziwen was painting her nails when her sister barged in and in return gave Shen Zifen a sidelong glance, “Stop fussing over nothing.”

“But I’m not talking nonsense. Haven’t you heard that the one at Qiao Xin Courtyard is now really impressive? She even dared to beat up Old wife Li.” Taking a seat next to her sister Shen Ziwen, clearly troubled.

“What’s the big deal? Hasn’t she always been like this whenever Father and Eldest brother were home?” Never concerning herself with the matter of dealing with Shen Ziqiao, Shen Ziwen inspected her nails instead, pleased with her own handiwork.

“You’re taking this too lightly. From what I’ve heard, it seems like she has the intentions to take over the household management from Old Madam.” Shen Zifen complained. “It’s goodbye to our good livelihood, should she really end up managing the household.”

Shen Ziwen laughed, “With her skillset?”

“Eldest sister, do you know something I don’t?” Shen Zifen asked.

“Madam Qi had already taken her bazi . I’m afraid a marriage proposal might just be decided sometime soon.” Knowledge of the matter gave Shen Ziwen peace incomparable to any other.

“We’re marrying her off to that fool?” Shen Zifen exclaimed, unable to hide the joy on her face.

Shen Ziwen sneered, “Is there someone else she wants to be married to?”

“Would Father consent though?” Recalling how Shen Xiao doted on Shen Ziqiao, it might be best not to put too much hope into the thought.

Shen Ziwen then says, “I’ve just gone and returned from grandmother’s place this morning, Grandmother is going to visit the Liu family late today.”

“Huh? What for?” Shen Zifen asked, dumbfounded.

“Assistant Minister Liu’s younger sister, Yunying, is still unmarried….” Shen Ziwen explained in a low voice.

Shen Zifen covered her mouth, smirking as she speculated a possibility.
