Mama Liu sluggishly waved her hand.
The two servants who brought Chu Qingchuan in, glanced at Mama Liu, then let go of her and left.
Chu Qingchuan clenched her hands uneasily, then had an idea. She quickly knelt down and smiled at Mama Liu. “Good, Mama Liu! I am the maid, Chuchu! From here on out, please do give me some guidance!”
Chu Qingchuan smiled brightly, as she successfully gained a few brownie points with Mama Liu.
Mama Liu put on a seemingly friendly smile and said, “You’re Chuchu right? Come here! Massage my shoulders. I’m old now, so my bones are really giving way!”
“Yes, Mama Liu!” Chu Qingchuan got up with a beaming smile on her face, then respectfully walked up to Mama Liu’s back. She raised her hands and tried hard to massage Mama Liu’s fat, wide shoulders.
When Mama Liu wasn’t looking, Chu Qingchuan’s face turned extremely sinister. She really wanted to strangle this old woman to death! She actually dared to boss her around?!
“Chuchu, you’re a little too gentle. Go harder!” Mama Liu cracked the melon seeds with a high and mighty look on her face.
Fuming, Chu Qingchuan gritted her teeth even harder, then forced a cheerful smile and said, “Mama Liu, how about now?”
Mama Liu didn’t reply, but continued to casually toss melon seeds.
Chuchu discreetly ground her teeth. She’s just an old woman who manages odd jobs in the rear courtyard, so what’s there to act all proud about?!
She’s an actual princess!
Chu Qingchuan couldn’t help but push harder!
“Oh! Be more gentle! Are you trying to crush my old bones?!” Exclaimed Mama Liu with dissatisfaction, as she slapped Chu Qingchuan’s hands away hard.
Having been hit by Mama Liu’s fat hand, Chu Qingchuan swung her hand away in pain.
“Mama Liu, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I won’t hurt you ever again!” She hurriedly apologized through gritted teeth.
Chu Qingchuan secretly regretted what she did. Her brain must really be mush because she always said the wrong thing.
Mama Liu scoffed emotionlessly, and quit blaming Chu Qingchuan. “Forget it, I’m not a petty person. You used to be the Master’s concubine right?”
“Yes!” Chu Qingchuan replied with furrowed brows and waved her left hand in pain. This fat woman’s really strong! She hits people so hard! Damn it!
“It’s no wonder you feel annoyed deep down inside. To make a concubine like you wait on me must be hard on you. But since you’ve lost all favor and have been sent to do manual labor, you should leave your status behind you. You can’t see yourself as a concubine anymore. Things are different from before and someone who has lost their status will be disrespected. I trust that you understand this principle, right?”
“Understood. I understand. Thank you Mama Liu for your guidance!” Although Chu Qingchuan had a stomach full of grievances, she felt it deep down inside and didn’t dare say it out loud.
Chu Qingchuan carefully put her hand on Mama Liu’s shoulders and continued to moderately massage her.
Mama Liu smiled faintly and didn’t say anything else. At first glance, the blank look on this lady’s face seemed so stupid. She wasn’t going to pay her any attention.
Meanwhile, a maid entered the ancestral hall where Ling Yingxue was locked up.
“Madam, Concubine Ninety-Nine was sent to the rear courtyard to do manual labor!”
Ling Yingxue’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“It’s true, Madam!”
“Hahaha… Wonderful! Tell Mama Liu about the grudges I have for that wench. Allow Mama Liu to torture that wench on my behalf! If she hadn’t seduced the Master, then I wouldn’t end up like this so quickly!” Ling Yingxue’s fierce eyes shot out burning hatred and rage!
“Yes, Madam!” Replied the maid.
Chu Qingchuan was oblivious about the torment she was going to endure!
