Liuli looked at Qianxue with some doubts.

"You have no affection for the third young master at all, why don't you ask for a favor and leave the house after the mistress comes in?"

Upon hearing this, Liuli hurriedly covered Qian Xue's mouth.

"Silly Axue, what are you talking about? If we are kicked out of the house by our masters, what good life will we have?"

Qianxue quickly shook her head, "It's not that we were kicked out, but that we asked the mistress to help us get rid of our slave status and let us become good citizens."

Liuli looked at Qianxue, then raised her hand to touch her forehead, "Are you sick and confused? How could you say such a thing?"

Qianxue opened Liuli's hand and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm awake."

Liuli sighed, "It is difficult for women to survive in this world. Even if we leave the house, we still have to find a man to rely on. However, we are not innocent girls now, and life will only be harder."

Qian Xue frowned. She intuitively felt that Liuli's words were wrong. However, she had been used to listening to Liuli's reasoning over the years and didn't know how to refute it.

"But... we still have parents. As a family, things will always get better when we are together." Qianxue said cowardly.

"You, you, are just too naive. Have you ever done anything to make a living outside the house? Do you know what it is like outside the house?"

Qian Xue shook her head. She indeed rarely left the house. The few times she went out, she was always with Nanny Li or Jing Yu.

Liuli sighed again, "Don't talk empty words, let me tell you something first. Listen to me. Is it true?"

As she spoke, she took a sip of the cold tea on Qian Xue's table, and then recounted the story of a young lady selling tofu in the east of the city.

"This girl is pretty, good at making tofu, and has a sweet mouth, so her business is more prosperous than other tofu stalls. However, when her father fell ill and her only brother fell off a cliff to collect medicine, she This stall started to have people looking for trouble every three days."

Qianxue's fingers were clasped on the edge of the table, and her mouth was pursed tightly. She remembered that this little lady was very good at making tofu, and Mrs. Jing once loved her tofu the most.

She obviously has superb skills, but is she still having a hard time?

When Liuli saw Qianxue's little move, she knew that she had listened, "Now that she has no man to support her family, she can't even manage her business as well as before. Because of her good looks, she can't even guarantee her own safety."

Liuli sighed a little and couldn't figure out why the world was like this.

"Axue, think about your family's situation again. Your father is a cripple, and you and your mother are both very beautiful. Do you think your family of three can really live as happily as you imagine? Is it happy?"

Qianxue didn't answer, somehow she just didn't want to believe what Liuli said.

Liuli was a little anxious, "Someone comes to trouble you every three days, and you can't even do business. There are some thugs who are not stingy. They climbed through the window to contaminate you, but what should I do? You are no longer innocent. Even if you go If the government sues them, no one will care."

Qian Xue felt more and more uncomfortable as she listened. Didn't he say that His Majesty is now upright and upright, and that the country's rivers and seas are clean and peaceful?

So why is it so difficult for a woman to survive independently of a man? Can a woman be allowed to live like a human being only if she always attaches herself to a man?

Liuli saw Qianxue lowering her head and thought she was frightened by her words, so she softened her tone.

"Actually, if you are determined to take this path, it's not impossible. Isn't your mother the same? She always followed the prime minister at first, and then she followed an honest man like your father."

Qianxue immediately raised her head and explained: "You have misunderstood. My mother and the Prime Minister have nothing to do with each other."

Mu Wan was not a son of Jing's family, but was bought from outside. He just fell into Jing Xiang's eyes and has been following Jing Xiang to serve him.

There are always rumors in the house. In fact, Mu Wan has always been just Jing Xiang's personal maid, and there is no ambiguity. However, Mrs. Zhao was offended by the rumors and kicked the person out.

"I was quick to speak out and told all these rumors." Upon hearing Qian Xue's retort, Liuli apologized quickly.

Qianxue shook her head, not angry, but lowered her head listlessly.

"Listening to what you just said, I feel that after following the eldest young master, it will be impossible to find someone like my father."

She wasn't complaining about anything, she was just a little disappointed for no reason.

Seeing that she seemed a little sad, Liuli quickly changed the topic.

"Hey, what is this? Is this a reward from the young master specifically for you?" Liuli saw the packet of snacks Qian Xue brought back yesterday.

She reached out to take it, but Qian Xue grabbed her hand.

"You can't move this."

Liuli retracted her hand in embarrassment and blinked at Qianxue, waiting for her explanation.

Qian Xue glanced at the oiled paper bag and curled her lips, "This was given to the young master by someone else."

After saying that, she straightened up, took a sip of the cold tea at hand, and then told Liuli about Miss Qi Liu.

"So, I have to keep this pastry for now. If the young master wants to take it back later, I won't be without it." She muttered in a low voice, leaning on the table with one hand a little sadly.

Liuli couldn't help but laugh. She poked Qianxue's arm, her eyes full of teasing.

"You little fool, you don't even know you're jealous."

Qianxue waved her hands in panic, "Good Ali, don't say this nonsense."

Liuli swung the handkerchief and covered her mouth, "Okay, okay. This is how I came here, so what should I not understand? When the third young master went to someone else's room, I also felt uncomfortable, but, I can How to do it?"

"Which husband doesn't have a wife and a concubine in his house, a more romantic one, and maybe he can have an extra wife outside?"

When Qianxue heard what Liuli said, it was completely different from what she was thinking, so she could only shake her head.

Liuli stopped teasing her and became serious, "Whether you are really jealous or not, don't let your husbands know. They hate the mess in the backyard the most, and they will be upset when they see it. In order to give face to the real wife, they will inevitably You will feel wronged and go."

"So, you have to be more careful about what you say in the future. You must be self-effacing and self-deprecating. Like this Qi Liu girl, no matter what the eldest young master says, you must never say bad things about others in front of the eldest young master."

Liuli rolled her eyes and said: "When facing Miss Qi, don't say how much the young master values ​​you. Just treat yourself as an ordinary maid."

Qianxue nodded. Her mother had told her similar things.

However, through this period of contact with Qi Lingyao, she had a deeper understanding of these words.

Even if you are a lady, you have been taught etiquette since childhood, and you will not tolerate another woman who is too favored around your husband.
