Chapter 16 - Old Slave New Master

Zhao Shi puzzled, “Why are you looking for them? If Xue’er, you do not have any maids to use, Mother will give you and set aside some of the few good ones then.”

Gu Qianxue very seriously shook her head, “This daughter cherishes old friendships, I just like these two people.”

To make a joke, who knew if this idiot cheap mother’s maids will or will not be a crafty person? Benzun’s death was caused by a spy, she does not want to die again.

“Okay okay.” Zhao Shi does not dare to neglect, hurriedly let the in-charge old Mama*(older higher ranked servant) to enter, immediately sending a person to find them.

Gu Qianxue only then was relieved, “After finding them, let them come to Tingxue Courtyard, just that will do, I will wait there for them.” After finishing speaking, she then walked herself to her living area, planning to rest nicely for a bit, meanwhile continuing to rake through her memory.

After all, this benzun’s discontinuous on and off, and selective memory, is truly cheated off of.

Tingxue Courtyard, is the courtyard where Gu Qianxue resides, don’t look at benzun as someone who didn’t receive her father’s and grandmother’s fondness, however it is because of her formidable grandfather as well as her mother’s first wife’s identity, regardless of whether it is to eat, wear or use, they are all good.

Although Yu Lian and Yu Cui, the two personal maids were locked in at the woodshed, however Tingxue Courtyard’s servants are no less, as they saw Gu Qianxue return, one after another bowed in respect.

Qianxue walked passed one by one, from within everyone’s despising expression, one can see that most of these servants look down on benzun in their hearts, it is a pity benzun is ignorant, that she cannot see it herself.

Gu Qianxue’s bedroom is luxurious, clean and neat, it is different from Zhao Shi’s heavily fragrant room, there is a faint fragrance of a youthful lady.

From outside the room passed a noisy voice.

Soon after, the noise stopped, the light at the entrance of the door was dim, and one could only see two thin girls who were ruined beyond recognition standing.

One is afraid the two girls were subjected to not a few maltreatments but instead many, thin and weak, especially those pair of hands, blackened, how would it even still look like a young lady’s hands?

Gu Qianxue knitted her eyebrows— used her knee to think, to think of, it is certainly again, Gu Qianrou who used these two maids’ bodies to vent her anger.

“Enter in.” Because she thought of Gu Qianrou, Gu Qianxue’s voice couldn’t help but bring along anger.

The two servants’ whole bodies trembled, the sound of ‘putong’ they knelt on the floor, desperate for their life kowtowed. “Young Miss, spare one’s life, Young Miss, spare one’s life.”

Two thin, yet dirty young ladies knelt on the floor, knocking their head hard on the floor for many times, on the rock compact ground to go as far as to show a glimpse of color on their cheeks.

Gu Qianxue hurriedly went to the front, a hand lifted each one, seems as if it like lifting a small chicken, “Okay okay, what head are you two knocking, your foreheads are all bleeding from knocking, if your face is scarred, what are you going to do?”

The two people were frightened, their body trembled from head to toe, raising their eyes, their gaze was cautious and solemn.

“Young… Young Miss, beca…because you brought along an angry temper… … “ the older little girl replied with a small voice, her voice trembled to the point of deformity.

“Angry?” Gu Qianxue only then just thought of her own face expressions, hurriedly changed from anger to a smile, doing her best to let her own voice sound gentle, “Just before, I was not angry at you two, instead I was angry at Gu Qianrou, that bastard harmed you two, and let me believed that you two stole something, making me driving you two out, then assigning two spys, whom almost caused my death.”

In actuality, they already caused the death of benzun.

The two young ladies had a surprise, but trembled not daring to say a word.

Gu Qianxue looked, in front of the two people’s eyes, except fear; indeed there were no others, she was afraid that towards Gu Qianxue benzun they also did not have any feelings.

Letting go these two people, Gu Qianxue arrived at her room’s entrance, personally telling people to come bring bathing water, and to get clean clothes.

According to her memory, the older girl is Yu Lian, she is less cautious, the younger one is Yu Cui, her character is lively, the two were loyal to ben, however they are helpless when their master is unimpressively lame.

The clothes have yet to be sent, yet heard a sound of rumble from their stomach.

“You guys haven’t eaten yet?” Gu Qianxue smiled and asked.

The two people horridly looked at each other, then lowered their head, not daring to say a word.

Gu Qianxue understood, saying is one thing and doing is another, if she wants to continue to use these two people, then she must start again from the beginning to nurture trust.

“I heard you two previously worked at the kitchen, how are you two still unable to eat till you’re full?” Gu Qianxue used a relaxed tone of voice, as if jokingly asked.

Yu Cui finally unable to resist, “To… to return Young Miss’s question, the kitchen’s Liu Mama is Concubine Pei’s person, we are not only to work more, but also cannot eat till we are full, and also… also be hit.” After finishing speaking, she once lowered her head.

Gu Qianxue understood clearly, so that is how it is, these two pitiful small things, unexpectedly became her scapegoat.

Gu Qianxue took back her smile, “Do you want revenge?”

The two people stared at her blankly.
