Ming Jin didn't know about Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yuandu's plan, nor did he know about the conversation between Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yao.

She followed Mother Cui back to Mingyue Garden.

By that time, there was already a steward who was in charge of the maids, waiting in the yard with carefully selected servants.

Hearing the noise, everyone who was chatting turned around to look, and when they saw Ming Jin, their eyes brightened.

Before Mingjin came over, a group of people all bowed and greeted Mingjin respectfully, calling her "Seventh Miss" more and more flatteringly.

Ming Jin took a quick glance and saw two familiar figures.

The two maids who served her in her previous life, Yingyue and Xingyue, were among them.

One of them was even looking at her secretly.

The maid who was looking at her was Xingyue. As her name suggested, she had an almond face and rosy cheeks, and a pair of bright almond eyes. She looked lively and clever, and exuded a lively and smart spirit.

She didn't expect to meet Mingjin's eyes.

Their eyes suddenly met and Xingyue was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon she smiled at Mingjin in a flattering manner.

Her almond-shaped eyes are very pleasing to the eye.

And the one next to her was Yingyue.

Unlike Xingyue who is lively and agile, Yingyue is very calm, but she is very attractive just standing there with her head down.

These two people were also specially picked out by Yu's mother.

Ming Jin just glanced at the two of them and then looked away as if it had nothing to do with him.

The housekeeper, Mama Yu, greeted Ming Jin with a smile. Just as she was about to say a few words to Ming Jin, Ming Jin said, "Give the booklet to Mama Cui."

After she finished speaking, she went in on her own.

Chunyu and a group of people who were originally assigned to Mingyue Garden were standing in the corridor, divided into two groups with the people outside.

They were nervous when Mingjin didn't come.

When Mother Cui ordered them to come over to serve, she did not assign any specific identities to them. During this period, except for Chunyu who served Mingjin personally, the others did not have specific ranks. They were just assigned to do the work they were able to do.

But for maids like them, their monthly salary is linked to their rank.

The Anyuan Marquis' Mansion was quite generous to its servants in terms of monthly wages.

A senior maid like Qian Shuang would receive two taels of silver per month, not counting the rewards from her master on a daily basis and the share she received every quarter.

A second-class maid also received one or two taels of silver.

But as you go further down the ladder, the money becomes less and less, and the annual dividends and rewards are naturally very small.

The ministers in the court were all sharpening their heads and trying desperately to climb up the ladder in order to gain more power.

The maids in the backyard are actually the same.

The higher your status, the more respect you will receive, and even your marriage will be better in the future.

Mother Yu brought so many people here today, including Yingyue and Xingyue, who were specially trained to be maids. Not to mention others, even Chunyu was very nervous.

So the two sides spontaneously didn't say hello to each other, just like a clear distinction, no one paid any attention to each other, and regarded the other side as an opponent.

Just now when Mingjin was not back, even with Yu's mother suppressing the situation, the tension between the two sides was very strong.

Seeing Ming Jin coming over, everyone became much more restrained.

"girl."

A group of people, led by Chunyu, greeted Mingjin one after another.

Chunyu came back earlier than Mingjin.

Someone just came to tell her that Mother Yu had come with some people.

There was no one in Mingyue Garden, so she temporarily served as the head maid. Naturally, she had to guard Mingyue Garden and communicate with Mother Yu. She could not let outsiders enter at will. So she reported to Mingjin and came back first.

Ming Jin nodded lightly, without stopping, and walked inside.

Mother Cui followed behind with the booklet in hand.

The rest of the people didn't dare to rush in at once.

They have been serving Mingjin for several days. Although the girl is taciturn and has never punished them, people in Mingyue Garden are somewhat afraid of her.

The submission and awe deep in their bones made them dare not act rashly in front of her.

They gently pushed Chunyu and said to her in a low voice, "Sister Chunyu, it all depends on you."

But what can Chunyu do?

She can hardly protect herself.

Although the girl had been nice to her these past two days and had always kept her by her side, she had never promised her anything, and she herself didn't know how the girl would arrange her.

If I become a second-class maid...

The low monthly salary is one thing, but the most important thing is that you cannot bypass the big maid who is above your head and follow the girl closely.

After spending these two days together, Chunyu liked his new master very much.

Although the girl is a little cold, she never loses her temper or treats others arbitrarily. If someone is sincere to her, she will also be sincere in return.

Huasui is the best way to describe it.

It was just because her sister had saved the girl, and the girl agreed, so she kept her by her side and took good care of her regardless of everything.

She really didn't want to have to watch the girl from afar in the future.

She also hopes that one day she will be cared for by the girl.

Chunyu's heart was beating fast, but she tried to keep a calm face, not daring to let others notice anything. When she made tea and walked in, Chunyu just heard Mother Cui talking to the girl about Yingyue and Xingyue.

She paused and her face turned pale.

If she had to say who she was most worried about among the people outside, it would definitely be these two.

Not only were these two people well brought up by Mother Yu, they were also family-born children. Their fathers and mothers both worked in the Marquis' Mansion and held important positions.

One glory and one glory.

If the girl lets these two people follow her in the future, their father, mother, brothers and sisters will naturally follow her and become her helpers.

Compared to people like her who were sold to the marquis' mansion, she is much better off.

In fact, Chunyu no longer hoped to become the girl's maid. She knew her own limitations, but she just couldn't help feeling sad.

But she really likes girls.

She naturally hoped that the girl could have more help so that she could be more satisfied in the mansion in the future.

Think so.

Chunyu no longer worried about that identity.

No matter what happens, she will not be driven away by the girl. She will always be by the girl's side.

She thought as optimistically as possible.

Chunyu walked over again and served tea to Mingjin and Mother Cui.

Mingjin didn't look at her.

Mother Cui was thirsty after talking so much. She took the tea bowl and took a sip to moisten her throat before continuing to talk to Mingjin, "Among these people, these two are the best. Xingyue's mother is Mother Chen who works in the kitchen, and Yingyue's father is in charge of the concierge."

Mother Cui has said it clearly enough.

In her previous life, it was Mother Cui who arranged these two people for her, but even Mother Cui didn't know that these two people had already been bribed by Ming Yao.

This is certainly not because Mingyao is omnipotent.

It’s just that people always strive for higher places.

They all know what kind of master they should follow in order to gain profits and move up.

Ming Jin was not afraid that they would join Ming Yao again in this life and cause any trouble on her side.

Anyone with eyes can see what the situation is in the mansion now.

These two people are not that stupid.

But why should we always get entangled with unnecessary people? It wastes time and energy, and it is annoying to look at them.

It's just asking for trouble.

Mingjin doesn't like to look back, nor does he like to suffer.

She waited until Mother Cui finished drinking and put down her teacup before she said to her, "I also have something to tell you, Mom."

Mother Cui naturally said, "You go ahead."

Ming Jin said: "I already have candidates in mind for the two older maids."

As soon as these words came out.

Not only Mother Cui, but even Chunyu was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Mingjin unconsciously, wondering who the girl had in mind.

Ming Jin didn't look at her, but just said to Mother Cui: "I want to arrange one for Chun Yu. After I came back, she has been serving me personally. I wouldn't be used to it if it was someone else."

Haruyu's eyes widened.

"Girl..." she couldn't help but shout.

"This……"

Mother Cui looked hesitant.

She glanced at Chunyu. Chunyu was a good girl, otherwise she would not have picked her out for the girl.

But after all, he was bought from outside and has no background, so he can't be of any help to the girl.

"As for the other candidate——"

Ming Jin did not hide it from Mother Cui and said to her: "I'll tell you the truth too, I'm thinking about giving it to Hua Sui."

"what!"

When it comes to Chunyu, Mother Cui can still understand it, but as for Huasui... Mother Cui frowned and looked at Mingjin with disapproval.

"girl--"

Mother Cui looked at Mingjin and felt that she was still a child after all, who only cared about her own feelings and did not understand the things happening in the backyard.

Just when I was about to have a nice talk with her, Ming Jin smiled and raised his hand.

This was a gesture to keep her quiet.

Although Mother Cui was anxious, she still endured it. She forced herself to sit on the chair and continued to wait for Mingjin to speak.

Ming Jin looked at her and said, "I know what mom means. I just came back and I'm in need of help."

"I also know these two people. It must not have been easy for my mother to arrange them for me."

Mother Cui originally thought that she didn't understand these things, but now after listening to her talk in detail, she realized that she knew and understood everything.

I heard Mingjin say that she was having a hard time.

Mother Cui felt a little warm in her heart, and her expression softened a lot: "It's not hard for an old slave. I just work for the master. It's not hard at all."

"But since the girl already knows all this, why does she still do this?" Mother Cui didn't understand.

Ming Jin said: "It is precisely because I know that I want to do this."

Under Cui's puzzled gaze, Ming Jin said, "Such an intricate relationship does have its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages."

Mother Cui was shocked, she understood what the girl meant.

"but--"

She was still a little hesitant.

"It does have its pros and cons, but if you can control this whole family, you won't have to worry, and you'll have more people to use in the future."

Ming Jin smiled and said, "Who can guarantee that people's hearts will never change?"

Without waiting for Mother Cui to say anything else, Ming Jin smiled and said, "Besides, as long as my position is here, why should I worry about having no one to use in the future?"

Mother Cui looked at her helplessly.

Just when I was about to say that she was still childish, I heard another sentence: "But if my position is gone, what does it matter if I am just a personal maid? People will betray when they are supposed to."

"girl!"

Mother Cui's expression changed.

She wanted to say no, but when she saw the bright girl sitting there with a calm smile on her face, she couldn't help but think of her previous situation.

Suddenly I couldn't say these words.

Finally, under Ming Jin's smiling eyes, she could only sigh helplessly: "Well, it's up to you. After all, he is the person you want to use, so you have to use him well."

Mother Cui said this but did not try to persuade her any further.

"Then the rest of the maids..."

Ming Jin said: "The original ones will be arranged according to their previous identities. As for the others that are missing, I'll trouble mom to help me choose."

Naturally, Mother Cui would have no objection.

"Then I will go out and make the arrangements first." After she said that, she stood up and went out with the book in her hand.

Mingjin didn't go out.

She didn't know if it was because she had just woken up, or because she was lazy during the last period of her previous life, but now she actually felt a little tired.

But it’s okay anyway.

Since she felt tired, she decided to go in and rest.

Mingjin was ready to do whatever she thought of, so she stood up and prepared to go in.

Chunyu just stood there.

Seeing Ming Jin moving, he came to his senses and asked, "What are you going to do, young lady?"

Ming Jin replied: "Go to sleep."

Seeing Chunyu all over, he followed her.

Ming Jin looked back at her and saw that she was still distracted. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm going to sleep. Why are you following me?"

Chunyu really hasn't fully woken up yet.

Hearing this, she actually let out a stunned sound, and her face turned red when she was looked at by Mingjin's teasing eyes.

"Then you should have a good rest. I will guard outside." She stepped back.

Ming Jin nodded.

She didn't say anything else, just looked away and walked inside.

But Chunyu's voice came from behind: "Girl!"

Mingjin turned around and looked at her.

She didn't say anything, but used her eyes to ask what was going on.

Chunyu looked at her, and no matter how hard he tried to hide it, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Her face flushed, she looked at Mingjin and said, "Thank you."

Ming Jin raised his eyebrows and did not comment.

"I will definitely do my best in the future. You can tell me to do anything you want." Thinking of what the girl and Cui Mama had just said, she quickly promised, "I will never, ever betray you!"

She spoke from the heart.

But Mingjin just listened indifferently. Even after hearing such a promise, she was not moved at all.

After Chunyu finished speaking, he looked at her excitedly.

Ming Jin simply responded: "You don't have to promise these things, just do your own thing."

She never believed in promises.

She uses spring rain at this moment because she can use it at this moment.

If she changes in the future or is bribed, she will no longer use her.

After she finished speaking, she yawned with her hands covering her lips, then went in with tearful eyes.

Chunyu looked at her reaction, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly followed her a few more steps.

She wanted to say something more, but in the end she didn't continue looking at the figure and let the girl leave her sight.

She just quietly clenched her hands.

Looking at the direction the girl left, I promised in my heart: I will never betray you.

Never!
