"This servant wants to redeem herself and leave the house."

Suho repeated calmly.

"Why? Did the mansion treat you unfairly?"

Chen was really curious. Although she no longer cared about the affairs of the mansion and was a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures all day long, she was still clear about the situation in the mansion. Even the worst maid lived better than the common people outside. She had only seen people trying their best to come to the mansion, but she didn't expect that there were people who wanted to leave.

Mrs. Zhang, who was next to Mrs. Chen, spoke up.

"Lotus, do you know that in addition to this silver, the old lady also plans to let you leave the laundry room and become a second-class maid in this courtyard. The monthly salary alone is 1 tael of silver. If you serve well, you will be rewarded every day. No matter what the reward is, it is much more expensive than the monthly salary. As long as you perform well, after the maids like Mudan are married, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to a first-class maid. Mudan, tell this girl how much private money you have saved."

Mother Zhang was a personal maid brought by Chen's family. After decades of getting along with her master, she had long been able to understand her master's mind. She could be said to be the spokesperson for the Chen family, and Mudan dared not disobey.

"In reply to Madam Zhang, I have not counted them in detail, but there are about three or four hundred taels of silver, and the other jewelry fills three wooden boxes."

Mother Zhang laughed. She didn't believe that Mudan only had this much. But for someone like Hehua who only had 200 coins a month, it was already extremely rich.

Chen was half-sitting on the bed leisurely, eating rice porridge and watching Hehua's reaction. She didn't believe that there would be anyone who would not be moved. The first-class maid in her courtyard could be said to be the dream of all the maids in the entire mansion.

Mother Zhang thought for a moment and added, "In fact, Mudan is the worst among the maids. Shaoyao, who came out with her, has become the fifth concubine of the master. This is really a blessing that cannot be exchanged even if one burns incense in the ancestors' graves. This is a good fate. Shaoyao, no, concubine Wang, is already the master."

Chen made a final summary.

"Lotus, are you still thinking about leaving the house now?"

Su He: Isn't this nonsense? Whoever wants to be a concubine can be it. This person is not as good as Mudan. What kind of master is a concubine? When the mistress gets ruthless, she can kill you in no time.

"In reply to the old lady, He Hua is dull and does not dare to dream of a position beside the old lady. This time, He Hua offered the medicine just to seize the opportunity to repay the old lady. The old lady may not know that when He Hua's brother was just born, mother... So all this is what He Hua should do."

After Su He finished speaking, he immediately got to the point.

"Originally, He Hua should have gone back to the laundry room to continue doing her work, but in the past half month, He Hua dreamed of her mother crying every day. Later, after asking around, she learned that her mother had passed away three years ago. Only her father and her brothers and sisters were left at home. Her youngest sister lost her mother when she was just born. He Hua didn't know how they had survived these years. I heard that her father was going to marry again soon. My poor brothers and sisters, He Hua really doesn't have the face to see her mother in the underworld. As the eldest sister, He Hua really feels guilty."

Su He originally just wanted to pretend to wipe her eyes and act pitiful, but she didn't expect the lotus in her heart to wake up again, and endless sadness filled her entire chest.

Tears flow freely.

There was a rare silence in the room. All the women in the room were emotional people. No matter what, Lotus's true feelings affected them.

"You are a good sister, but you are already 16 years old this year. You will have to get married after leaving home. How will you take care of your brothers and sisters? You will have your own children soon."

Mother Zhang was the first to break the silence. She also came from the bottom of society and was very practical in her considerations.

"Ever since I learned that my mother had passed away and my father was going to marry a new wife, I have made up my mind not to marry in this life. I will raise my younger brothers and sisters peacefully. When my younger brother gets married and has children, if he doesn't mind me as a slave, he can just give him food to eat. This life will be worth it."

married?

Getting married in the 21st century is already a very challenging thing, let alone in ancient times, when a small cold could be fatal. She doesn't have the blessing to get married.

"You don't regret it?"

"I swear to heaven, if I tell even a single lie, I will not have a good ending!"

Su He simply swore an oath, and this trick was effective for the old man who was a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures, and everyone in the room believed it.

After a long silence, Chen sighed.

"Since you want to leave the house so much, I will help you, but I won't take this prescription from you for nothing."

Chen thought about it, waved at Mother Zhang, and said something in her ear.

"It's late today. You can leave the house tomorrow. I'll ask Mother Zhang to accompany you to the county government to handle the female household affairs. After that, I'll send you home to pick up your brothers and sisters."

What?

There is also such a good thing. The fact that she was registered as a daughter was a surprise enough. She didn't expect that Mother Zhang would accompany her home. It was obvious that Chen knew her future plans.

She just planned to move out with her younger brothers and sisters because her father was going to have a new family and this family could no longer accommodate three siblings.

With Mother Zhang accompanying me, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

This time, Su He knelt down and kowtowed to Chen sincerely.

"I have no way to repay the old lady for her kindness. I only wish her good health and longevity, and that all her wishes come true."
