Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 123 Su Mansion

Su Fu

Qin Yuanyuan was washing the clothes that the eldest lady had changed out of yesterday. It was a large basin full of clothes, and she couldn't hit it with a mallet.

Because these clothes are made of silk, you have to wash them carefully by hand for fear of snagging the clothes. If the clothes get snagging, the clothes will be ruined.

Suddenly, a few pieces of clothing were thrown onto the basin of clothes, and a triumphant female voice sounded,

"Hey, isn't this our talented girl Bi Yue? Why are you washing clothes here if you can't read or write? Haha, then help me wash my clothes as well."

Qin Yuanyuan ignored her and continued to wash the clothes in her hands. Huang Wan, who changed her name to Suyun, was unhappy.

She kicked the basin in front of Qin Yuanyuan and shrilly said, "Are you mute? Help me wash the clothes, too. Do you hear me?"

Qin Yuanyuan said calmly, "My job is to help the young lady. You can wash your clothes yourself."

Su Yun snorted coldly, "It seems that you haven't learned your lesson yet. Do you want me to continue to flatter you in front of the young lady? Do you really think you are some talented woman just because you can read a few words?"

Qin Yuanyuan continued to wash clothes and did not answer her. Su Yun was about to say something else when Nanny Su came out from the kitchen. She heard everything they said.

This Suyun came from a brothel. She served the ladies there. She only knew how to do some servant work and was illiterate.

But the eldest lady of the Su family thought this was just right. A literate person could help her daughter win the heart of her son-in-law. Being a beautiful lady with beautiful sleeves was the favorite thing for a scholar.

Coming from the same building, she knows how to serve others, can serve her own daughter, occasionally let her son-in-law change his taste, and can also help her daughter teach the future concubine a lesson.

In fact, Su Yun also knew that her family background was not good, and the eldest lady of the Su family did not think highly of her, so she praised Qin Yuanyuan more. She felt indignant. They were both dowry maids, so why did Bi Yue have more face than her?

But Suyun came from the building, in this environment of intrigue and competition, she knows how to flatter and win people's hearts.

Miss Su liked Qin Yuanyuan more because she was quiet and taciturn, so Su Yun would often flirt with Miss Su, making her think that Qin Yuanyuan was arrogant.

So, Suyun kept giving advice to Miss Su, under the pretext of curbing Qin Yuanyuan's arrogance. This not only made Qin Yuanyuan's life difficult, but also allowed her to vent her anger and gain face in front of the eldest lady.

Qin Yuanyuan was the young lady's future dowry maid, and originally she didn't have to do these chores. Now she not only had to do the laundry, but also had to make the young lady's underwear, panties, shoes and socks, and watch over the house at night.

It doesn't sound like much, but making clothes is eye-straining, and your fingers will get numb and your hands will ache after doing it for a long time. You can't sleep at night and have to keep watch. After all these things, you will lose all your energy and become as thin as a bamboo pole, as if it would break if bent.

Nanny Su is an old lady in the mansion. During the time when Qin Yuanyuan came, she was very quiet and did her work without complaining or trying to be cunning.

On the contrary, Su Yun was the one who was causing trouble for Bi Yue every day. She was really like a smug person. Her personality was similar to Bi Yue's, so she couldn't stand people like Su Yun. She was in charge of all the matters in the kitchen and laundry room.

She said calmly, "Suyun, what are you wearing? What are the clothes that the young lady is wearing? If the maid's clothes you are wearing fade and stain the young lady's clothes, I think you don't want to live anymore."

After these words came out, Su Yun, who was about to mock Qin Yuanyuan, closed her mouth.

Then Nanny Su said to Qin Yuanyuan, "Biyue, I'm warning you, do your job well and don't put anything dirty into the young lady's clothes, otherwise, your life will not be enough to pay for it."

Hearing this, Qin Yuanyuan quickly stood up and bowed to Madam Su according to the rules of the mansion, and then replied, "Yes, I understand, Madam Su, I will pay attention to it in the future."

After hearing her reply, Nanny Su nodded in satisfaction, then stared at Suyun with a sharp gaze. Suyun quickly lowered her head and tried to leave.

"Stop, take your old clothes away quickly. What kind of rags are these? You dare to wash them with the young lady's clothes. You really don't know your place."

Su Yun had no choice but to pick up her clothes and run away dejectedly. After she left, Qin Yuanyuan bowed to Madam Su again and said, "Thank you, Madam Su."

Nanny Su said calmly, "Why thank me? I just asked you to do your job well." Then she turned around and went back to the kitchen.

However, she planned to tell the lady about the matter, otherwise the eldest lady would have such a trouble by her side in the future. If she kept instigating the eldest lady, who knows what would happen in the future.

After Nanny Su left, Qin Yuanyuan continued to sit down and wash clothes. Maids and aunts from the laundry room also brought wash basins and started washing the clothes of the masters in the mansion.

They all saw what happened just now, and they began to discuss it in low voices, some even talking to Qin Yuanyuan.

"Biyue, I say you are too honest. You let Suyun bully you. You are the maidservant of the eldest lady. Look at what kind of work you do. She has it so easy." An aunt said indignantly.

"Yes, it's because you are too easy to bully that she keeps stepping on your head." This is Caiyun. She and Qin Yuanyuan have been washing clothes together for a long time, and the two have become familiar with each other.

Caiyun had some delicious food and would share some with Qin Yuanyuan from time to time. Just now she was about to come out to defend Qin Yuanyuan, but Nanny Su came out first.

"It's okay. These are the jobs I was supposed to do. Like Aunt Su said, I will only do jobs related to the eldest lady. I won't do jobs related to others." Qin Yuanyuan said softly.

Although Suyun bullied her, many maids and aunts in the mansion were very kind and got along well with her. During the time she came to the mansion, she was busy learning the rules and working, and she had no time to be sad.

She felt that it was good to be busy like this, at least she wouldn't miss her home or her brother and younger brother. Whenever she thought of them, she would feel heartbroken.
