The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

The first woman bowed and said, "Madam, I used to be a cook in the home of Lord Wang from the Ministry of War. Later, something happened to the Wang family, and I was sold. Now I want to find a more stable job to earn some money."

Madam Yao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Li standing next to her and asked with a smile, "What about this one?"

Li bowed respectfully and said, "I used to be a maidservant in a wealthy family in another province. I am very familiar with all matters related to serving the young lady, and the young lady trusts me very much. Later, something happened to the master's family, and I was forced to marry someone. Later, my husband died and there was famine and war, so I fled to the capital with my daughter begging! Now I want to find a stable job, whether it is serving the young lady or helping in the kitchen!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yao could not help but take a closer look at Li. She found that although her face was haggard and her clothes were half-worn, her brows revealed a calm and determined look, and her voice was gentle and she spoke tactfully. She had also been a dowry maid, so she must be very perceptive. Therefore, she wanted to keep her. She glanced at the fat girl standing next to Li. Although her clothes were also half-new and half-worn, and her expression was a little shabby, she was short and stocky, so she should have no problem doing some rough work in the kitchen.

Madam Yao nodded, and then asked the next three or four people. She thought they were all okay, so she said to the matchmaker, "Mother Zhao, let these people stay today! If there are no accidents after the three-month trial period, you can come back to collect the remaining money."

Upon hearing this, the matchmaker beamed with joy and said, "Thank you, Madam, for taking care of your business! If you need anything in the future, you can always send someone to find me, and I will definitely satisfy you!"

After saying this, she gave some instructions to a few people, asking them to work hard here, and then followed the nanny to the accounting office to collect the money.

Madam Yao asked the maid to take a few people to see the housekeeper. After the housekeeper explained the rules of the mansion to them, he arranged things for them.

Li was arranged to be a second-class maid in Miss Yao's room, responsible for helping the lady's personal maid Qingxue to serve Miss Yao Ruolan.

When Li saw the gentle and quiet Yao Ruolan, she couldn't help but feel very indignant! They were all born to the same father, but why was it that only her daughter was short and fat, with a big head and crooked neck, and spoke in a rough voice, while this Miss Yao and that cheap girl Qinghe were both beautiful?

God, why is this so unfair! Just because she is a maid, does that mean her daughter can only be a maid as well?

A few days later, Yao Bilian was in the kitchen helping the cooks pick vegetables, sweep the floor, and pour out the slop. She was so tired that she kept complaining!

She secretly complained to Li at night: "Mom, didn't you say you would bring me to find my father? Why didn't my father recognize me, and instead I became a maid in someone else's family?"

Li glared at her and said, "He is now an important official in the imperial court, and he has married another wife and had children. How can we recognize him in this state? He only needs to do a little research to find out that mother and daughter are in prison. Do you think he will recognize us? Doesn't everything have to be planned slowly? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yao Bilian said in a hoarse voice impatiently, "It seems that you only do some light work like serving tea and pouring water in the boudoir every day. How can you know how I spend my day in the kitchen, which is smoky, dirty and tiring? I don't care! If you don't let me meet my father as soon as possible, I will go and talk to the lady myself! Even if I can't become the daughter of the Yao family, it's good to give us some money! It's better than being ordered around every day. There are so many things to do in the kitchen!"

Li gently coaxed her, "Lian'er, don't be anxious! Be patient here for a few days and wait for me to find a suitable opportunity, then I will bring you to the young lady!"

Unexpectedly, Yao Bilian said with a sullen face: "You still have to serve others! Day after day, when will it end? If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off being a second lady in Pingle Street! At least I would have no worries about food and clothing, and someone would serve me. It's not like now, I have to hide from place to place, and I don't know where to eat my next meal!"

Upon hearing this, Li immediately got very angry and scolded, "How dare you say that? Isn't it because you fell in love with that Master Li and wanted to marry him, and you tried your best to persuade me to cooperate with Princess Jingying? Otherwise, would I have forced that girl to cancel the engagement?"

Yao Bilian said unconvincedly, "But we were not arrested because we forced that girl to cancel the engagement! Wasn't it because you were caught by the government for coveting that girl's gift? What does it have to do with me? Even if I was arrested later, it was because I poisoned that girl's tea to avenge you! Otherwise, I would still be the second lady of the Yao family!"

At this moment, there was a slight noise outside. Li was startled and immediately signaled Yao Bilian not to make a sound. Then she tiptoed out and saw that it was a cat that made the noise and stepped on a dead leaf when it jumped down from the tree.

Li finally relaxed her tense heart. She turned around and closed the door. She lowered her voice and said to Yao Bilian, "Mother did that for your own good. Who would marry you if you didn't have a decent dowry? You blame me instead! You ungrateful little girl!"

Yao Bilian said angrily: "Then mother, please get me out of the kitchen as soon as possible! I smell the fumes all day long, and my face is almost yellowed by the smoke!"

Li whispered, "Okay, I got it. Go back and have a good sleep! Don't let anyone find fault with you while you're working. I'll find a solution as soon as possible."

Outside the courtyard wall, a dark shadow squatted at the foot of the wall in silence, with a look of shock in his eyes. After Li's mother and daughter went back to sleep, the dark shadow quietly jumped onto the top of the wall, then quickly disappeared into the night along the roof ridge...

Jiang's house.

The guard reported, "Sir, after the Li mother and daughter recovered from their injuries, they went to Pingle Street to look for the young lady. After being rejected, they happened to run into Lord Yao who was also looking for the young lady, and then they managed to sneak into the Yao Mansion and become servants."

Jiang Yaonian frowned and asked, "Why did Lord Yao go to see the young lady?"

The guard handed over the scroll and letter in his hand and said, "Lord Yao wants to ask the young lady to embroider a picture and paid a deposit in advance. He also left a letter for the young lady."

Jiang Yaonian took the scroll, looked at it, and placed it on the table. He then opened the letter, read two lines, and said to the guard, "Continue to send people to keep an eye on the mother and daughter, and don't let the young lady know about this."

"Yes."

Jiang Yaonian brought the letter to the candle and burned it, then handed the scroll to the guard and said, "Go and return the painting to him, and tell him that the young lady is busy recently and has no time to take on new customers."
