Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Let me think about this matter before I reply to Lu Dong's family. I have something else to do today, so I won't accompany you."

Lu Jiu took a step forward and said: "What's so good about this? You said you would give me money to buy it, but in fact there is no need to do so. My family is not short of this money."

"I need to ask my husband about this before I can make a decision." Qin Xiang didn't want to continue to be entangled with Lu Jiu, so she moved out of Xiao Chenyu.

Sure enough, Lu Jiu opened her mouth and could only nod with some dejection, muttering in a low voice: "Why do good girls want to get married? After getting married, they don't even have this freedom, alas!"

Qin Xiang only saw him mumbling but didn't hear him clearly. However, she didn't care at all and turned around slightly and returned to the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he called Li Siniang and asked calmly: "Did I inform you that Lu Jiu came into our yard?"

At that time, I was talking to Qin Xiongfei in the room, so it was understandable that I didn't inform her about it, but it would be impossible if even Li Siniang didn't know about it.

Li Siniang was stunned for a moment, then understood Qin Xiang's words, pursed her lips, and thought for a moment before replying: "I will go and ask, who took it upon himself to let people in?"

"You can ask for the reason before you make a decision. However, this person has no master in his eyes, so he must be punished no matter what."

"Yes, I know this!" Li Siniang looked very ugly when she came out. She came to Xiaozhu and asked who was guarding the door connected to Lu Jiuye's yard?
When she found out it was Mrs. Lian, Li Siniang was furious and asked Xiaozhu to call someone over for questioning.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's go over and take a look!"

At that time, the old woman Lian's man was a gambler and wanted to sell her daughter to use as gambling capital. The old woman Lian sold herself to replace her daughter. Later, Li Siniang bought both mother and daughter and kept them as slaves at home.

Later, something unexpected happened, and Li Siniang begged Qin Xiang to buy out everyone. Even the old woman and her daughter Xiaohong came to Xiao's house, and her life was more comfortable than before.

In the past, although Li Siniang restrained them, she was still kind and would not pursue any minor mistakes.But now that she has become a servant in the Xiao family, because Qin Xiang has left all these household matters to Li Siniang, Li Siniang disciplines them even more harshly.

This caused some people to become dissatisfied and lose respect for her.

Li Siniang walked past the rocks and before she appeared, she heard the voice of the old lady Lian: "Li Siniang is no longer the former concubine of the county magistrate. Now she is just a slave. Why are you crazy?"

Another woman answered and said in a sinister tone: "Li Siniang wants to use us to curry favor with her wife, but she doesn't want to find a future for her son."

"Hmph, if she were good, the county magistrate would rather take Rong Niang with him than their mother and son before he left. This shows that she is not popular with the county magistrate." The old woman Lian sighed and said with disdain.

Xiaozhu was about to step forward, but was stopped by Li Siniang. She smiled softly and laughed at herself: "They don't know yet. Although I, Li Siniang, gave birth to the county magistrate's son, I actually have no concubine status."

The four maids, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, were originally bought by Li Siniang. Because of their flexibility, they became Li Siniang's assistants and became the second-class maids in the mansion.They also have the best relationship with Li Siniang.

As for Rong Niang, she was actually a concubine sent by the merchant below. However, she also had no title. Of course, she could not get past Li Siniang at home. But in the end, Li Siniang was slapped in the face. When the man ran away, he did not ask for his son, but Rong Niang was taken away.

This is the reason why Li Siniang is extremely angry.Her two-year-old son is not as important as a woman who has only been born for three months?
When she was living in her old house in the capital, Li Siniang had been serving in the old lady's house since she was a child because she was born into the family. She became a first-class maid at the age of twelve or thirteen and was someone the old lady couldn't live without.

Later, because she was calm and capable, the wife personally asked her to accompany her father when he took office, and promised that she would be promoted to aunt when he returned in three years.The way out for having children is very narrow, either as an aunt or as a young man in the family. Now that the old lady and the madam have chosen her, she cannot resist. Otherwise, she will definitely be randomly assigned to a crooked melon with extremely bad character. Jujube, don’t think about it for the rest of your life.

Her mother also advised her that as an aunt, at least her children would be their masters and would be able to completely escape the fate of lower class people.

"Sister Siniang, are we going?" Xiaozhu tugged on Li Siniang's sleeves and asked softly.

Li Siniang came back to her senses, adjusted her sleeves, and walked forward: "Let's go, this is my wife's order, how can we disobey her?"

The old lady Lian was chatting with Madam Zhang, and she suddenly saw Li Siniang and Xiaozhu walking over. Judging from their expressions, they thought they might have heard something serious. The two old ladies were immediately angry and did not dare to speak out. Although they looked down on Li Siniang, After all, the remaining power is still there, and she is still the person beside Qin Xiang now.

"My wife sent me to ask where the ninth master of the Lu family came from just now?" Li Siniang had already calmed down her emotions and relayed her wife's words calmly.

When the old lady heard this, she became even more panicked and hurriedly said: "It's the old slave's door. However, the old slave thought that Master Lu Jiu would come here often in the past, and this garden belongs to the Lu family. Master Lu Jiu just heard that When my wife’s father arrived, he was very anxious and couldn’t wait for my announcement before he went in.”

"Yeah, I understand!" Li Siniang turned around and left without waiting for the old woman to finish explaining incoherently.

Even the old woman was stunned for a moment. When Li Siniang walked away, she chased after her as if she was startled: "Siniang, help me intercede with my wife. I will always think of you."

Li Siniang didn't stop, she just turned around and glanced at the old lady Lian, but she showed a smile: "Don't worry, I can ask my wife to get you out of prison because of our past friendship. This is who I am. Bad point, too soft-hearted.”

These words made Mrs. Lian feel a lot more at ease. Li Siniang was indeed soft-hearted. Anyone who had done something wrong in the past could probably get by just by asking for mercy.

Everyone said privately that she was not a serious master after all and was trying to win people's hearts.

It's just that Li Siniang is no longer the same person she was before.

After walking away, Xiaozhu couldn't help but said: "Sister Si Niang, it's better not to let this old woman go. She has been dissatisfied with you for more than a day or two."

"How to say?"

"Even the old lady wanted to let her daughter Xiaohong climb into my bed, but unfortunately you blocked her. Even the old lady privately said that if you hadn't interfered with it, maybe it would have been her daughter that I took away this time. ”

Li Siniang snorted coldly: "With her daughter's appearance, she still needs me to stand in her way?"

After saying that, he stopped talking and went straight back to Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang looked at Li Siniang and asked, "Is this person unavailable?"

Li Siniang thought for a while, but did not say whether it was available. Instead, she told the old woman's origins and today's conversation, and then waited for Qin Xiang to make up her mind.

Qin Xiang put down the book and said, "Are you frustrated now? You feel that you have treated them well, but now they are adding insult to injury and looking at your jokes?"
