Chapter 349.2: The Most Wealthiest Servant Girl
Jing Wan originally thought that she would agree very quickly, so this situation right now was actually a bit surprising. In reality, for a beautiful unmarried girl to want to establish oneself, it was very difficult. Even if ruining one’s own appearance, having an ugly face similarly can very easily incur others’ loathing, attracting condemnation. Serving someone, especially those with n.o.ble status, under the current backdrop, for many people, was actually an opportunity that was unable to be sought after. Moreover, as the saying goes, in front of the prime minister’s gate was a seventh rank official. Working in a qinw.a.n.g manor, although of the slave cla.s.s, but when outside, many people would all carefully fawn over.
“Then, trouble w.a.n.gfei to arrange a new ident.i.ty for this slave.”
Jing Wan’s gaze slight shook. This was being proud and arrogant, unwilling to serve someone? But Fu Xiao didn’t appear to be someone like that. However, precisely as the saying goes, people each have their own ambitions, so needless to insist.
“Fu Xiao, it’s very difficult to survive outside alone. w.a.n.gfei is very kind, never treating the servants harshly.” These words were a bit eager, coming from Bai Shao’s mouth.
“This slave is someone of the brothel, not clean, so how can one taint the qinw.a.n.g manor’s gate? If in the future one were to get one’s ident.i.ty uncovered by someone, what kind of position will w.a.n.gfei be put in?”
Jing Wan laughed, “I was still wondering what was the problem. Fu Xiao, do you believe that your own heart is clean?”
Fu Xiao’s heart violently shook. She believed that she’s never let her heart be covered in dust, and also never abandoned herself. “This slave, in the future, will do everything one can to repay w.a.n.gfei for today’s kindness.”
“It’s not that serious. At present, just properly recuperate.”
“w.a.n.gfei, this sla—–this servant has a presumptuous request. Ever since entering Louxie Fang, Mei Yi has actually treated this servant quite well all this time. To have continuously postponed one’s boudoir leaving ceremony until seventeen, it’s also all thanks to her fully protecting, so don’t know if one can let her know that one is well. Just, the money to redeem one from the brothel………….” Speaking to here, Fu Xiao found it somewhat difficult to speak. She also knew, the best outcome was just letting Mei Yi a.s.sume that she’d already died, no longer having the slightest involvement, but she was unable to do this.
“This, you don’t need to worry about, just peacefully recuperate.” Getting up, Jing Wan glanced at Bai Shao again, “You too. Things have already pa.s.sed, so don’t think too much.”
“To have let w.a.n.gfei worry.”
“No need to say these things. Speaking of which, you probably also suffered an absurd disaster.”
“Precisely as the saying goes, if fortune, not disaster, if disaster, unable to avoid. Perhaps in this servant’s fate, there exist such a trial, and if not this time, perhaps it would be another time. This servant will let one’s injury recover as quickly as possible.”
Jing Wan nodded, turning to leave.
Gong mama followed by Jing Wan’s side, “w.a.n.gfei, please rest a.s.sured. Things aren’t as serious as you think. The two of them are both still virgins.”
Jing Wan froze, “Still virgins? Didn’t Bai Shao say that Fu Xiao had gotten taken away by that Salt Boss Tie a day earlier, how could………..”
“This servant was also baffled, thus asked the people that were in charge of investigating this matter. Reportedly, that something Salt Boss Tie has the fetish of obscenely toying with women, and generally will ruthlessly torture for two days, and afterwards, do the deed while covered all over in blood.”
Jing Wan just had one word left inside: Pervert!
Moreover, it was in the derogatory sense, to the point that it couldn’t be more derogatory, the kind that was disgusting to the point where it couldn’t be more disgusting. “For this kind of person, it’d truly be too cheap to just slaughter in one cut.”
Gong mama inwardly said to herself, ‘w.a.n.gfei, just one line from you, and some people will naturally be unable to obtain a good end.’
Jing Wan wanting to let Fu Xiao stay behind, Li Hong Yuan naturally didn’t have any objection. As long as she was like the other servant girls, wholeheartedly serving the master, not producing any crooked thoughts, then it was nothing more than another mouth to feed, that’s all. As for whether or not this person might have problems, truthfully speaking, if all able to have problems occur under his eyelid, then that would be strange.
Jing Wan, as usual, let Eunuch Mu take the trip. Speaking of which, letting a castrate repeatedly visit the brothel, really was a bit too much.
Eunuch Mu went quickly and also returned quickly. Just, the money prepared to redeem the person didn’t get sent out, instead bringing back a small box.
“………….When this servant arrived at Louxie Fang, right after having the matter explained clearly, and was just about to mention the matter of the contract redeeming money, that owner just let me wait for a moment, afterwards bringing over this small box. The things inside this small box, this servant didn’t look over, but that owner said, it was one million taels of silver banknotes. According to the owner’s explanation, she originally even wanted to let this servant bring back some accessories for Miss Fu Xiao, but those things were mostly gifts from those patrons in the past to Miss Fu Xiao. Now, since she has already broken away from that place, to continue to use those things would really be quite uncomfortable. As for this one million taels, it can be considered Miss Fu Xiao’s money from selling herself into slavery. Reasonably speaking, when Miss Fu Xiao sees this money, afraid, she will also recall those depressing matters. The owner’s meaning is that she’s also unable to accept this money.”
“This owner really isn’t like someone of this profession.” Speaking of this, Jing Wan really was a bit surprised.
Li Hong Yuan lifted his eyelid, but didn’t speak. These people naturally won’t taken seriously by him.
“Since the money is for Fu Xiao, mama, why don’t you send it over to her.” After following Li Hong Yuan, this ultra wealthy person, one million taels of silver all wasn’t anything.
Alright, even if she was a poor peasant, she also couldn’t possibly have Fu Xiao’s money taken as her own.
However, a girl coming from the brothels, now becoming a servant girl of a qinw.a.n.g manor, yet possess a million taels of silver, this huge sum of money, perhaps she had neither predecessor nor successor.
One has to know, at the time, when Luo Jing Ying ‘married’, she only had five thousand taels of silver in her dowry. Although there were various reasons to this, but under normal circ.u.mstances, the married young ladies of the Luo family, all their dowry added together was probably also just a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and this was already considered a very generous dowry. For ordinary commoner families, a few taels of silver was more than enough to feed a family of four for a year, so one can imagine, just how big this sum of money was.
Euncuh Mu had always felt that he was probably the most wealthiest servant in Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor, but now, comparing with Fu Xiao, turns out, he was just a pitifully poor peasant. As expected, one would die comparing with others.
Gong mama directly had the thing taken to Fu Xiao. Rather, she didn’t say anything either.
Fu Xiao also didn’t avoid either, directly opening it. On the surface was a letter. Tearing open the letter, the contents weren’t much, appearing to have also been written very hastily. However, Fu Xiao nevertheless stared at it for a very long time, reading it over and over again. At first, her eyes were just red, continuously enduring, yet towards the end, she could no longer hold back, tearfully sobbing.
Fu Xiao, in Gong mama’s eyes, was also a relatively special woman. Other than times when needing to greet with a smiling face, her mood was always very dull. Even if covered in wounds, she also never once uttered a sound, yet now she was crying like this. However, to be able to cry out wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
After crying for about a quarter of an hour, Fu Xiao finally put away her emotions slowly, carefully having the letter stored away. In the future, she and Mei Yi will no longer have the slightest relation, won’t have any involvements anymore, and further won’t meet again. She although was a slave, a servant girl, she was still considered someone of a decent family background, so had the right to look down on someone like Mei Yi, but what good was that for?
Qing Zhu lightly patted Fu Xiao’s shoulder, “Elder sister, don’t be too sad, be careful of your body.”
“Mei Yi, Mei Yi really had me treated like a daughter.”
“Since that’s the case, you should be well. As such, she will also be happy inside.”
Fu Xiao nodded, “Troubling younger sister for a favor, can you have these banknotes delivered to w.a.n.gfei?”
“Since w.a.n.gfei let someone send over, then she absolutely won’t accept. Just quickly store away nicely on your own.”
