"Mistress, how do you intend to deal with this little girl?" Zhe Jue looked at Lin Caisang and asked.
It would be easy to handle Liu Baixiao’s family. Merely spreading some rumors in the village would keep them on their toes, but as for the little girl in front of them...
Not just anyone could come to the bamboo house, a place where they discussed matters with the Master.
Since this young girl had stumbled upon this place, they of course couldn’t let her leave so easily. After all, what would they do if something happened in the future?
Upon hearing Zhe Jue’s words, Lin Caisang also furrowed her brows.
"Since she has already escaped from Liu’s family, it is impossible to send her back, if we let her go..."
She glanced at Ya Molian, naturally knowing that this too was unrealistic. If the girl managed to trespass here once, there was no way she’d forget about it, and if she reappeared in Ya Village...
"Is your name Feng Lvzhi?"
She looked at Feng Lvzhi and asked.
Feng Lvzhi swallowed, stealing a glance at her and nodding her head meekly.
"Tell me, after escaping from the Liu’s family do you have anywhere to go?" Lin Caisang asked.
Feng Lvzhi shook her head.
Where else could she go? Return home?
Don’t be ridiculous, if she ran back home, her grandparents would only sell her off again. They would be thrilled to sell off the same maid twice, and would even pray for her to run back home more often.
She didn’t want to deal with her family anymore.
But as a young woman alone and penniless, without a bite to eat, where could she go?
When she first took off, she only thought about escaping that dreadful place as quickly as possible. She never considered how to survive on her own after she escaped.
"If you have nowhere to go, then from now on, you will follow me." Lin Caisang decisively said.
Feng Lvzhi almost jumped out of her skin at her words.
Follow her? But she didn’t even know who this lady in front of her was. What if she turned out to be just like the previous family she served? Would she not just be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire?
Feng Lvzhi’s entire body trembled. She only dared to steal glances at Lin Caisang.
"Mistress, you must reconsider. This woman’s identity is unknown. Even if you do intend to keep her by your side, you should at least let me verify her identity first," Zhe Jue immediately objected.
"Sang’er, she came from the Liu family." Ya Molian reminded Lin Caisang.
Given the Liu family’s temper, how could they lose a servant maid without making a fuss about it? They would definitely barrage Sang’er with complaints. That would be another headache to deal with.
"That doesn’t matter." Lin Caisang didn’t seem concerned.
Based on what Feng Lvzhi said earlier, it seemed that Liu Rumei discreetly bought her and hid her in their house for a few days. Liu Baixiao probably didn’t even know about this.
If he were to find out that Liu Rumei has money that he didn’t know about and that she used it to buy a maid to serve Liu Yushui and Zhou Liang, he would probably beat Liu Rumei to death, wouldn’t he?
Right now, even if Liu Rumei and Liu Yushui were daring, there was no way they would dare to make this issue public. Moreover...
She looked at the serfdom contract in her hand.
"The contract is in my hands, naturally, I can dictate the narrative," she said.
