Chapter 235 The maid

The original owner was the maidservant of the eldest son of the Gu family. She had an average appearance and a dull personality. She was originally a second-class maidservant beside the lady. When the original owner was fifteen years old, she was chosen by the lady to become the maidservant of the eldest son.

There were three maids who went with her to serve in the eldest young master's courtyard, all of whom were ordinary girls.

The lady made this choice for the eldest young master's own good, fearing that he would be seduced by his concubines and have illegitimate children before getting married, which would lead to a strained relationship with his future wife.

The lady's worries are not unreasonable. After all, this is what she is like. She will be a mother in the future, and her husband has three illegitimate daughters.

Fortunately, these three are daughters, not the eldest son. But even so, she was still upset for a long time.

Even if you have been caught in the rain, you should hold an umbrella for others. What's more, your wife hopes that her son will have a harmonious family and many children. Only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper.

The eldest young master could not hide his disappointment when he received four ordinary-looking concubines from his wife. The eldest young master liked charming and attractive women, and he simply could not like women of this kind.

But I still accepted it.

The original owner was not favored at all, and her treatment was only slightly better than that of an ordinary maid, but she also had more work to do.

Because the eldest young master didn't like these maids and didn't care about their life or death, the eldest young master's wet nurse had always disliked them and knew what the eldest young master was thinking, so she tried her best to torture the four of them.

Originally thought that they would be relieved after the young lady came in, but the first thing the eldest lady did after coming in was to give them infertility drugs to ensure that they could not have children before sending them to the farm.

The original owner was thrown into a farm and tortured to death by the farm's manager. When the original owner died, the eldest young master's wife was diagnosed with pregnancy. The entire Gu family was filled with joy and distributed porridge on Chang'an Street.

……

"Shanhu, we don't look good. Will the young master dislike us?"

Pearl was not ugly, she was petite and cute with fair skin, but her small eyes ruined her overall beauty. She was also timid and inferior. When she learned that she would become the eldest young master's concubine, she was happy but also worried.

The eldest young master will be their master in the future. If the master is not happy, they will not have a good life in the future.

"It's good that the young master likes us, but what I'm most worried about is the temperament of the future mistress. I hope she can tolerate us."

The one who was speaking was Agate. She was tall and had three-dimensional facial features, but her skin was dark and her figure was skinny. She was thinking further.

Another maid, Feicui, had a cross-eyed look. When she spoke, if she didn't call someone by name, it was completely unclear who she was talking to. "If I can give birth to a child before the young lady comes home, are you afraid that the young lady won't tolerate it?"

This one is the most brainless one, and none of the three want to pay attention to her.

Madam did this because she didn't want the young master to like them and let them give birth to children. With the lessons learned from the past, Madam must be on guard against them, right?

The three of them packed their luggage, which consisted of just a few pieces of clothing and some simple silk flowers, and came to the eldest young master's yard carrying a small package.

"You are the maids sent by the Madam, right? Come with me. The young master doesn't like others to disturb him when he is studying or resting. You should not come to the front yard in the future. As a maid, you should know your place and don't dream of things that don't belong to you. Okay, this room is yours, clean it up yourselves."

Leading the way was the head maid in the eldest young master's courtyard, named Wen Mo. She had been with the eldest young master since she was a child and was the maid with the greatest hope of becoming his concubine.

But the lady was reluctant to mention it, so Wen Mo could only swallow his anger and stay with the eldest young master.

Unexpectedly, someone intercepted and snatched her position as a maid.

Zhang Shan and the other three looked at the small, musty room with a dormitory bed and fell silent. This was the worst room she had ever lived in, and four people were living in it.

As they had just arrived, the four of them did not dare to give any opinions to Wen Mo even though they were reluctant, and could only swallow their anger and clean the room.

In the evening, the eldest young master came back from school and summoned four people. Looking at their ugly appearances, the eldest young master suppressed his disgust and ordered Zhenzhu to serve them.

The teacher of the academy was ill, so the eldest master went home to study and was only summoned a few times in a month.

Of course, when it was Zhang Shan's turn, she sat on the armchair and watched the young master sleep alone.

As soon as it was light, I rolled up my bedding and went back to the dormitory to rest.

Of course, before leaving, she had to drink a bowl of contraceptive medicine and wait for fifteen minutes before leaving, so as to prevent her from vomiting.

Zhang Shan naturally would not drink this kind of medicine that would destroy the body. She kept all of it in the space for emergency use.

"Why are you still sleeping when it's already this late? Do you think you are the master? Just because you climbed onto the young master's bed, you think you are superior to him? Hurry up and get up and wash all these clothes!"

Zhang Shan was woken up from her bed by someone. She saw several baskets of clothes, which obviously did not belong to the eldest young master, but to the maids and servants in the yard.

Oh, and some of the servants'.

"Mammy, is your family so tight on money? Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you if you let the young master wear clothes like this?"

"Our Gu family is very wealthy. How could the young master wear these clothes? These are our clothes. Stop talking nonsense and go wash the clothes!"

"Mammy, although I have no official status, I am still serving the young master, not the mammy and the sisters in the courtyard. Also, I am the young master's woman. Even if the young master doesn't like me, I can't wash other men's clothes.

Mammy asked me to do this. Are you dissatisfied with the young master? You want to ruin the young master's reputation. Let the young master's woman wash clothes for other men. What's the difference between this and cuckolding the young master? "

"Stop talking nonsense, you you you..."

Zhang Shan's angle was tricky, but what she said was indeed correct. It was impossible for an ordinary maid to wash clothes for a servant, let alone the eldest young master's maid. Isn't this just humiliating the eldest young master?

"Then you wash these clothes!" As he said that, he kicked away the servants' clothes and asked Zhang Shan to wash the clothes of the maids and old women.

"No, we are all maids, who is more noble than who? Or is it that the nanny relies on her status as a wet nurse to meddle in the affairs of the young master?"

"When I was working in the Madam's Court, I often heard that the nanny took advantage of her age and interfered with the affairs of the young master, calling herself the 'mother'. This habit of the nanny is not good. My mother-in-law couldn't help it that day and kicked you out. You are so old, how can you live outside the Gu Mansion?"

The nanny looked panicked. She had always managed the eldest young master's yard very well. How did she know all this?

Could it be that Madam really wanted to drive her away?

Thinking of the fact that the eldest young master's previous wet nurses were all driven out by the madam, the wet nurse also became scared.

She also wanted to live in the Gu Mansion in luxury. The eldest young master had eaten her daughter, so they had a relationship.

But if the lady didn't like her and wanted to drive her out, the eldest master would not go against filial piety and go against the lady. After all, they are mother and son.

The maids all fled in panic, leaving only the two little servants looking at each other in bewilderment, and walking away with the baskets full of dirty clothes.

"Zhang Shan, I didn't expect you to be so good at talking. From now on, this old hag won't dare to bully us anymore."

Instead of confronting her head-on, it is better to threaten her directly. Some people just bully the weak and fear the strong.

For a long time afterwards, the yard was quiet because the eldest young master went to school.

Until the news came that the eldest young master was engaged.

"I don't know if Miss Wei has the tolerance to tolerate others. If not, what will happen to our future lives?"

"I have a cousin who works in the Wei Mansion. I asked her to help us find out. You'd better be prepared for the worst." Zhang Shan's face was solemn, and the other three also looked worried.

None of the four are bad people, and when their lives are at stake, they naturally unite.

Zhang Shan worked very hard to dig out the news. After learning that the young lady of the Wei family was not a tolerant and generous person, the four people seemed to lose their luster in their eyes.

"The young lady of the Wei family is extremely jealous. If we are lucky, we might be sent to the manor. If we are unlucky..."

That means being killed silently.

But the former is the most likely possibility. After all, he caused a death as soon as he entered the door. His methods were too cruel and might make the eldest young master unhappy.

But if they were brought to the farm and tortured to death, no one would investigate.

There are few fools among the noble families. Even if they want to kill them, they can't do it openly. They still have their mothers' families, and their mothers' families also care about their reputation.

The eldest young master's wedding date is approaching. The nanny feels that she has found a powerful supporter and that she is capable again, so she starts looking for ways to torture Zhang Shan and the other three.

"Madame Wang, Madam said that the eldest young master is getting married and will no longer need a nanny to serve him. You should pack up and leave immediately. These jewelry and cloth are given to you by Madam."

"what?"

Nanny never expected that she would be kicked out when the eldest young master was about to get married. Her only son was already dead. Where could she go if she left the Gu Mansion?

Zhang Shan stepped forward and took the clothes and jewelry box from the lady's maid. "Thank you, Sister Cuiping, for coming here. I'm afraid the nanny must be very happy. Please don't mind, Sister."

Cuiping and Zhang Shan were old acquaintances. When the two of them got close, she whispered in Zhang Shan's ear, "The future eldest young master's wife is not easy to get along with. Be careful."

"I understand, thank you sister for reminding me."

Zhang Shan took out a purse and put it in Cuiping's hand. This time, it was thanks to Cuiping's help that they were able to drive Nanny Wang out of the house.

After Cuiping left, Zhang Shan put the lady's reward on the ground, squatted down and looked at Nanny Wang: "Nanny, look, I warned you a long time ago, why didn't you learn your lesson? I am so disappointed."

"It's you, you little bitch!"

"I'm going to tell the young master, I'm going to tell the lady!"

"Tell Madam what? Tell Madam that you alienated the relationship between Madam and the young master?"

"Mammy, life out there is not easy, please take care of yourself!"

In the previous life, it was this old hag who instigated the young lady to give them apothecary. It happened that the original owner was having her period, and after taking a bowl of apothecary, she developed menstrual bleeding.

"You vicious woman!"

Zhang Shan was "ordered" to send Nanny Wang out of the mansion. Nanny Wang looked at the tall plaque of the Gu Mansion, feeling panic-stricken and confused about the future.

The eldest young master was reluctant to see Nanny Wang leave, but he did not dare to disobey his lady's orders. As the wedding date was approaching, the eldest young master did not want to find a maid to serve him, so he slept alone in the study.

Early in the morning of that day, Zhang Shan was called up to decorate the bridal chamber of the eldest young master and the young mistress, which gave her a good opportunity.

Young Madam Wei was a sweet-faced but bitter-hearted person, a complete smiling tiger. She sent them to the manor without making a sound, saying that she was catering to her husband's preferences, but in fact she let the people in the manor torture them.

The night before the eldest young master's wedding, the lady called them to the main courtyard to have sex.

"I don't care what you are thinking, but you must not mess up the eldest young master's wedding. As for how the future mistress treats you, that's up to you."

"If you can make the mistress promoted to concubine, that's your ability. If you displease the mistress, even if you are sold, that's your fate."

Zhang Shan and the others were already feeling very disappointed. The young mistress was intolerant and the mistress didn't care either. They couldn't count on the eldest young master either.

"Is this what we are?"

Zhang Shan hugged Zhenzhu and wiped her tears with her handkerchief. "If the young lady gave you anything to eat, remember to induce vomiting after you come back, even if it means your throat is torn apart."

All three of them nodded obediently.

The next day, the eldest young master got married, and Zhang Shan and the other three were detained in the room and not allowed to come out to avoid bothering the young mistress.

Because Zhang Shan and the other three were just concubines, they had no official status and were not required to offer tea to the young lady.

But she still had to go to Chun'en Courtyard to help the young lady wash and dress.

Zhang Shan had been standing at the door waiting since early morning. If she hadn't come to drug the young lady, she wouldn't have come.

Wei had long heard that her husband's four concubines were not good-looking. Now that she saw that it was true, she no longer felt afraid. However, she was still jealous that they had been with her husband before her.

When Wei was washing up, she either complained that the water was too cold or too hot. She went through so much trouble until it was getting late, and she stopped only when she saw that it was time to pay her respects to his wife.

Zhang Shan felt relieved after seeing Wei drink the drugged tea.

This medicine is nothing else but a sterilizing drug. Wei is jealous, but she herself cannot have children. From now on, the Gu Mansion will be bustling.

Of course, Zhang Shan was even more ruthless when it came to the eldest young master. Not only did she give him infertility drugs, she even gave him drugs that would make him look ugly.

Don't you dislike them for being ugly?

Then he will slowly become uglier in the future!

I wonder how the Madam and Young Madam feel whenever they see the ugly Young Master?

On the third day after their marriage, Wei had obtained the eldest young master's consent to send Zhang Shan and the other two to the farm. Even without Nanny Wang's instigation, Wei still gave them a sterilizing drug.

The four of them returned to the room, scratched their throats and spit out the sterilization medicine.

"The young lady has already arranged everything at the manor. We will never come back from that manor. Do you still want to go?"

"What should we do? We don't want to die."

"There is a section of road ahead. I bribed the escort boy, and he will push the carriage off the cliff and fake the fall. Here is the identity document. Take this and leave the capital. Don't come back in the future, and don't look for your parents and relatives."

The three of them nodded, "Okay, we'll listen to you."

As they were both stranded in the world, Zhang Shan helped them and sent them away.

When Wei heard that the carriage had fallen off a cliff, she thought to herself that it was a good deal for them and stopped caring about it.

Just two days after the lady handed over the household goods to Wei, the storehouse in Gu's mansion was robbed.

It wasn't just one warehouse, but all warehouses, as long as there was money in them, were robbed.

"Mother, it's all because of my incompetence. Please punish me!"

The lady just felt a headache, "It's not your fault, get up quickly."

When the Gu family ran out of money, they began to sell their farms and shops to barely make ends meet.

But the expenses of such a large Gu Mansion are extremely high.

In order to save money, the Gu family sold the maids and servants in the mansion.

It was not until the eldest young master found out that he had no money to continue his studies that he realized the changes in the Gu family. The young master, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, was unwilling to go to school and wanted to study at home.

But as she learned more, she started to have children with Wei.

But after two years of hard work, Wei's belly remained unchanged.

Not only was there no sign of pregnancy in Wei's belly, but the eldest master also became uglier and fatter. But even so, Wei still did not agree to let him take a concubine.

Although there was no concubine between Wei and the eldest young master, the relationship between them was not necessarily very good, and the lady began to doubt her intentions.

She never got the grandson she waited for and died with regret.

The eldest son and Wei had no children in their lifetime, the eldest son never passed the imperial examination, and the property of the Gu family was stolen, and in the end, all he got was a house.

As the eldest son, he should have received 70% of the family property, but who made them have no descendants?

The two of them were not in dire straits, after all, they still had Wei's family to ask for money. However, it was very embarrassing for a scholar.

The depressed and frustrated young master finally chose to die together with Wei, and in the end he still had no idea why he ended up in this situation.

Zhang Shan did not block all the ways out for the Gu family. Some people in the Gu family still lived a good life, which was also the reason why the eldest young master was depressed.

Except for him and Wei, everyone is living a good life. Who wouldn't be depressed?

What's more, he is the noble eldest son.

Zhang Shan did not leave the capital, but bought a hill and planted peach blossoms on it. Every time the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the hill always attracted literati and poets to visit.
