Chapter 236 Seeking each other
Chapter 236 Seeking each other
Fu Yuehe was shocked. She was just a maid. This was the first time in her life that someone spoke to her like this.
It's not that these words are so touching and beautiful. In fact, in brothels, those playboys say beautiful words that are much better than what Xu Feng just said in order to please the top prostitutes and famous prostitutes.
The key lies in Xu Feng's attitude, which exudes seriousness and respect, and puts her on an equal footing with him.
She was sold to the Sikong family when she was young. Everything she was taught and learned was to be obedient, submissive, understand the rules, and recognize her own identity.
Xu Feng's words made her feel valued for the first time. She knew for the first time that there were people who did not treat her as a servant. This feeling was wonderful, as if it elevated her mood.
Fu Yuehe stared at Xu Feng in a daze, feeling mixed emotions, and a certain idea hidden in her heart was shaken for the first time. However, she quickly got rid of this emotion, without showing it on her face, she just lowered her head shyly and nodded imperceptibly.
"Then you should have a good rest first, and we can take care of the rest after your leg injury has healed." After Xu Feng said this, he smiled slightly and left.
Two days passed in a flash, Fu Yuehe's leg injury healed, Xu Feng once again summoned the servants in the mansion and announced Fu Yuehe's identity as the mistress in front of everyone. Although these servants had called Fu Yuehe "Madam" before, Xu Feng deliberately kept a distance from her. The two were like unrelated strangers and never stayed in the inner courtyard. After a long time, the servants naturally couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
Now that Xu Feng has announced it publicly, there will be no possibility of gossip in the future.
In the next few days, Xu Feng took Fu Yuehe to visit Chiyun City. While sightseeing, they also bought some new fabrics, clothes, pearl hairpins, jewelry, etc., and also bought some new household items and screens. Xu Feng had no requirements in these aspects and listened to Fu Yuehe's wishes.
Fu Yuehe also seemed to be in high spirits. When serving the Fourth Young Lady, although she could not go out at will, the Sikong family mansion was large, and most of the gardens could be entered and exited at will, and there were also those sisters and friends who had known each other for many years. Life was simple and fulfilling.
Since being given to Xu Feng by Sikong Hongyu, although she became the mistress of the courtyard and had maids and servants to serve her, she was basically alone, and the courtyard was only a small place. As a gift, she did not dare to go out without Xu Feng's permission, so she naturally felt a little depressed during this period. Xu Feng took her out to play, so she was of course happy.
After a few days of getting along, the two of them became more familiar with each other. Fu Yuehe also found that Xu Feng really did not regard her as a servant, a maid, or a man's accessory. When purchasing items for the mansion, he completely listened to her ideas. In his words, it's fine as long as you like it.
However, the two of them have not slept in the same bed yet. Xu Feng hopes that they can have a relationship after they have a certain understanding of each other. Firstly, it is to show his cherishment for Fu Yuehe, and secondly, he still has some hesitations deep in his heart.
Once Fu Yuehe really became his woman, according to his personality, he would never abandon her. Without her, Xu Feng could leave at any time if he encountered an emergency. The world is wide and he is alone, where can he not go? ! On the contrary, with Fu Yuehe, he has something to worry about and an obvious weakness.
But as they spent the past few days together, Xu Feng felt that he liked and cared about Fu Yuehe more and more. The girl's heart and eyes were really full of him. Her bright smile, graceful figure, and the unique fragrance of a young girl from time to time made him fascinated and intoxicated. The last bit of hesitation in his heart soon completely dissipated.
Just as their relationship was steadily heating up, one day, Qi Lin suddenly sent a message saying that his cousin invited him to a banquet at the restaurant. Xu Feng naturally agreed, because he also wanted to meet Manager Niu. He planned to ask him to buy a few maids for Fu Yuehe so that the courtyard could be more lively.
In the private room of the restaurant, Xu Feng arrived at the appointment on time.
"Manager Niu, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?" Xu Feng greeted with a smile.
"Everything is fine. Please take a seat, Guard Xu." Manager Niu also had a smile on his face.
The food and drinks had already been served, and after the three of them sat down, they first drank a glass together.
After exchanging a few polite words, Xu Feng glanced at Manager Niu and said, "Manager Niu is usually a very busy man. He must have invited me here for some reason. I am Xu Feng, so I am close to you two in Chiyun City. If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Manager Niu and Qi Lin looked at each other with some hesitation, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, there is indeed something I want to trouble Guard Xu with."
After that, he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all. After putting down the glass, he said in a deep voice: "This matter is quite tricky. I, Niu, was also entrusted by someone. Guard Xu, please listen to it first. If you think it is too difficult, then, that's fine. We can only say that the girl has a bad fate."
After that, Manager Niu told the story.
It turned out that the person who asked Manager Niu for help this time was the descendant of someone who had done him a great favor—Miss Suying, the personal maid of the old lady of the Sikong family.
When he was young, Manager Niu was just an ordinary servant in the Sikong family. Because he accidentally completed a task and made a great contribution, he was valued by his superiors and gradually rose to the position of manager.
But the deeds done back then were indeed somewhat dangerous.
Although Manager Niu was smart and scheming, he was still young after all. He showed his joy after making great achievements, which made him jealous and his boss took away his credit. This kind of thing happened occasionally in big families and was not uncommon.
Although he was unwilling, he was forced to do so by the other party's tyranny and the other servants' echoing. The public opinion made him unable to speak out his grievances, and he could only see that his efforts would end in vain.
Fortunately, the personal maid of the old lady of the Sikong family was also present at the time. She stood up and spoke up, pointing out the suspicious aspects of the matter, which gave Manager Niu a chance to turn things around.
Because of this, Manager Niu was so grateful to the old lady's maid that he kept this kindness in his heart. The two of them also supported each other in the Sikong family and took care of each other. If Manager Niu had not been engaged at the time, it would not be impossible for the two of them to get married in the end.
Later, the maid fell seriously ill and died soon. She had never married and had no children. Before she died, she entrusted her adopted daughter Su Ying to the steward Niu, hoping that he would help her in case of danger because of their past friendship.
Manager Niu naturally agreed with tears in his eyes. Su Ying was indeed trained by her stepmother. She was meticulous, efficient, and took good care of the old lady. In a few years, she took over her stepmother's position and became the close maid of the old lady of the Sikong family.
It's a pity that since the beginning of this year, the old lady of the Sikong family has been in poor health, getting worse day by day. It seems that her time is up and she doesn't have much time left.
Miss Suying's crisis also came as the old lady gradually lost consciousness.
