Chapter 161 Zhang Mansion Concubine 7
Cheng Huiyan looked at the beautiful face of the maid in front of her. Her angry eyes were like knives, and she wished she could destroy this beautiful face immediately.
Shuqin had been serving her master since she was a child, and she knew her master very well. She immediately stepped forward and took the plate from Jiang Chunxi's hand: "Okay, we will serve the Madam, you can go down first!"
"Yes." Jiang Chunxi said respectfully, then immediately turned around and walked out.
"The Zhang family is really good. They arranged such a beautiful maid to serve Zhang Weiwang. Are they deliberately slapping me, Cheng Huiyan, in the face?" Cheng Huiyan said angrily:
Cheng Huiyan had met Zhang Weiwang before, and she fell in love with him at first sight, so she snatched this marriage.
Otherwise, the Zhang family is just a merchant family. Is Zhang Weiwang worthy of Cheng Huiyan? After all, her family originally planned to let the concubine's daughter marry into the Zhang family. If she didn't like Zhang Weiwang, would he be worthy of the Cheng family's legitimate daughter?
"Miss, she is just a maid. If you really don't like her, just sell her off after a while. How can the son-in-law be angry with you?" Shuqin put down the plate in her hand and said with a smile:
"That's right," said Shuhua, another senior servant of Cheng Huiyan. "The fact that the son-in-law can marry the young lady is a sign of his marrying up, and it is also a sign of the Zhang family marrying up. The young lady is just getting rid of a maid. How dare the son-in-law say anything to the young lady?"
"But Miss has just married into the Zhang family. Even if you want to get rid of the maidservant next to your son-in-law, you shouldn't act too hastily. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the servants in the Zhang family will make up stories about you. If this gets out, I'm afraid that someone will say that Miss is jealous, which will be very detrimental to her reputation!"
Before she figured out her brother-in-law's attitude towards the maidservants, it was really inappropriate for the young lady to do anything. It would be one thing to avoid hurting the relationship between husband and wife, but she was also afraid that the servants in this mansion would make up stories about their master, which would affect the young lady's reputation, which would be bad.
After all, merchant families are the most unruly. Although the Zhang family is the richest family in Jiangnan, so what? The rules of this mansion are no match for those of a scholarly family like the Cheng family. In the Cheng family, servants dare not speak ill of their masters, but that is not necessarily the case in the Zhang family.
As for why Shuhua was sure that the maid just now must be a concubine’s maid.
Haha! Do I need to say more? With such a seductive look, how could she not be taken into the master's room? She must have climbed into the master's bed a long time ago.
Cheng Huiyan's face was still full of unhappiness. She wished she could get rid of that vixen immediately, but she also knew that Shuhua's words made sense. Before she understood the situation in Zhang's house, she really couldn't get rid of the maidservant beside Zhang Weiwang.
In the previous life of the original owner, Cheng Huiyan, she also learned about the Zhang family's situation and realized that the Zhang family was not the unruly merchant family as she had imagined. Only then did she start to deal with the maids around Zhang Weiwang, leaving only the original owner behind without being sold.
It's just that Jiang Chunxi in this world is several times more beautiful than the original owner. Therefore, even if Cheng Huiyan knew that Jiang Chunxi's situation was rather special, she would probably still sell her off and would not bother to care about so many things.
After Jiang Chunxi came out of the room, Xingcheng and Xingyi immediately pulled her aside to question her.
"How is it? The eldest young lady is quite kind, right?" Xing Cheng looked at Jiang Chunxi nervously and asked:
How could they not be nervous? If the eldest young master's wife was not someone who was easy to get along with, then the lives of the maids would be miserable in the future.
After all, didn't Xing Cheng know what kind of person the eldest young master was? The eldest young master would never stand up for the maids and slap the eldest young master's wife in the face.
"I don't think the eldest young lady is someone who is easy to get along with," Jiang Chunxi bit her lip and said, "You didn't see how scary the eldest young lady's eyes were when she looked at me just now. It was as if she wanted to chop me into pieces."
Because Jiang Chunxi was the most beautiful, Xing Cheng and Xing Yi let her in to deliver food to the eldest young lady, hoping to test what kind of person the eldest young lady was.
If the eldest young lady was a jealous person, she would definitely not have a good expression when she saw Jiang Chunxi.
But unexpectedly, the situation was worse than Xingcheng and Xingyi had expected.
"What should we do?" Xing Yi said anxiously, "It seems that the eldest young lady is very jealous. Then the three of us will become thorns in her eyes and she will want to get rid of us as soon as possible."
Xing Cheng frowned, feeling even more anxious than Xing Yi, even fearful: "If the eldest young lady is an extremely jealous person, then the three of us will probably not have a good ending. Being tortured is the least of our worries. I'm afraid the eldest young lady will sell us out to some dirty place."
Xing Yi was frightened by Xing Cheng's words and her face turned pale: "This... This shouldn't be the case! Not to mention how much the eldest master cherishes Chun Xi, after all, we have served him for so many years, the eldest master should not let the eldest young lady sell us out."
"Don't you know the eldest master's character?" Xing Cheng smiled bitterly. "For the marriage with the Cheng family, not to mention how much the eldest master himself values, even the master and the mistress also attach great importance to it. So do you think the eldest master will refute the eldest young lady's decision because of us servants and make her unhappy?"
“This…this…” Xingyi looked like she was about to cry, “What should we do? If the eldest young lady really sells us out, then the three of us will have no way to survive.”
"Okay, Sister Xingcheng, Sister Xingyi, stop scaring yourselves. Maybe the situation isn't that bad," Jiang Chunxi said. "The eldest young master's wife is a lady from a scholarly family. She's not a cruel person. Even if she doesn't like us, she'll just taunt us at most. She won't sell us out."
"Alas!" Xing Cheng sighed helplessly, "Now I can only think of the bright side. I hope that just like Chun Xi said, even if the eldest young lady dislikes us, she will not sell us out."
A sneer flashed across Jiang Chunxi's eyes.
Haha! Even if Cheng Huiyan had some evil intentions, it was useless. She was just waiting for Zhang Weiwang and Cheng Huiyan's wedding night to see what would happen to Cheng Huiyan. After all, unclean women had no way to survive in ancient times, especially a lady like Cheng Huiyan who was brought up in a scholarly family.
Of course, maybe the Cheng family values their daughter Cheng Huiyan very much and are reluctant to let her die. They will pay any price to let the Zhang family conceal Cheng Huiyan's unclean affairs and let Cheng Huiyan become the Zhang family's daughter-in-law.
