When the housekeeper saw that familiar piece of paper, her eyes that were filled with concern instantly turned red. Her lips trembled and her voice began to tremble: "Young miss, you …"
Jiujiu pursed her lips: "I'm going to get married, so …"
"Young miss, Xiao Cui doesn't want to leave you." Before Jiujiu could finish speaking, Xiao Cui directly tore the slave contract in her hand into pieces.
Xiao Cui looked at Jiujiu with red eyes. She bit her lips and said with a stubborn expression: "Young miss, I'll go wherever you go. Even if you're going to marry into the marquis' fu, Xiao Cui will follow you to the marquis' fu."
Xiao Cui was two years older than Jiujiu. Twelve years ago, during the famine, her father sold Xiao Cui to the Li Manor for one tael of silver.
In fact, Xiao Cui's father originally wanted to sell Xiao Cui to a brothel, but at that time, there was a famine everywhere. Many people didn't even have enough to eat, so how could they afford to go to a brothel? Xiao Cui was only six years old. Not to mention receiving customers, she probably couldn't even do much as a servant.
If it was any other time, the brothel keeper might have accepted Xiao Cui, but in that kind of situation, accepting Xiao Cui was like buying someone who only knew how to eat and not work.
She couldn't do anything and still had to support her. The brothel keeper was a businesswoman, but she wasn't stupid. Naturally, she wasn't willing to accept Xiao Cui.
Since the brothel keeper wasn't willing to accept Xiao Cui, it was the same for other places. Just as Xiao Cui's father was thinking about swapping Xiao Cui with the child next door, Li Jiu's father heard about this and bought Xiao Cui for one tael of silver.
Although Li Jiu's father bought Xiao Cui to be Li Jiu's servant, he thought that Li Jiu was a boy. In fact, Xiao Cui was to be Li Jiu's concubine.
However, after Li Jiu's father bought Xiao Cui, he directly sent her to Li Jiu's mother. Li Jiu's mother, who originally wanted to find a girl to be Li Jiu's servant, naturally took Xiao Cui in.
Because Xiao Cui had to keep Jiujiu's secret in the future, although Xiao Cui was a servant, she was treated much better than in her previous home.
After Li Jiu's parents died, Jiujiu took care of Xiao Cui as if she was her own sister.
Although her father was a tortoise and a bastard, Xiao Cui knew what it meant to repay kindness. Her life was saved by Master and Madam, and Jiujiu directly treated her as a sister. Xiao Cui didn't know the relationship between the masters of other families and their servants, but she understood that it was rare to see a master as good as Jiujiu.
Now that Jiujiu wanted to give her the contract, Xiao Cui's first reaction was that she was afraid that Jiujiu would chase her away.
Xiao Cui was not afraid of hardship, but she was afraid of leaving Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's original intention was to give Xiao Cui and the steward's contract to them, and then ask them if they wanted to set up their own household. If they wanted to set up their own household, she would not stop them. She would even give them a sum of money to help them set up their own household. If they were not willing, then she would take them to the marquis's fu.
But who knew that Xiao Cui would have such a big reaction as soon as she gave her the indenture. Although the housekeeper didn't tear up the indenture like Xiao Cui, her expression was similar to Xiao Cui's, as if she had been abandoned.
Jiujiu looked at Xiao Cui who kept wiping her tears with her head down, and said helplessly, "I did not abandon you."
"Then, then Young Miss, why did you give me the contract?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Cui's heart broke.
Although she and the old steward did not want Jiujiu to marry Lin Zeyu, they were even more reluctant to leave Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was married to Lin Zeyu and was alone in the marquis's fu. What if she was bullied?
If she went with her, she could help.
Jiujiu sighed helplessly when she saw Xiao Cui like this. She pursed her lips and said, "You and the old steward have been by my side for so many years. I have nothing to give you, so I'll give you the contract."
Jiujiu raised her hand and rubbed Xiao Cui's head. Her voice also became gentle. "All these years, if you weren't by my side, I really wouldn't be able to control the Li family alone. I've always treated you as family, so I don't want you to still be slaves."
Jiujiu knew very well that no matter how well she treated the old steward and Xiao Cui, as long as their contracts were in her hands, they would be slaves. They would be slaves for life, and even their children would be slaves.
Although the status of the lower nine classes was lower, compared to being a slave, it was much higher.
The steward and Xiao Cui were so devoted to her, so Jiujiu did not want them to be slaves forever. However, Jiujiu did not expect that Xiao Cui would misunderstand her good intentions to this extent.
After hearing Jiujiu's explanation, Xiao Cui's red eyes turned even redder. She was clearly older than Jiujiu, but she sobbed like a child. She cried and said, "Young Miss, you're so good to me."
Xiao Cui did not know how other masters treated their servant girls, but Xiao Cui could guarantee that they were not as good as Jiujiu.
Because no matter how good other people treated their servants, they would never remove their slave records. However, Jiujiu had done it.
Xiao Cui's eyes were red. After crying for a long time, she sniffled and said to Jiujiu, "Young Miss, no matter where you go, Xiao Cui will accompany you."
The steward was now in his forties. He was a smooth person, but after hearing Jiujiu's words, his eyes could not help but redden.
Father Li was also very good to him, but not as good as Jiujiu. Moreover, many of the things he did were related to money. Jiujiu did this because she trusted him too much.
The old steward also wanted to tear up the slave contract like Xiao Cui to show his loyalty. However, when he thought of his son who was not married yet, he kicked the slave contract into his arms and thanked Jiujiu with red eyes.
As long as he removed his slave record, his son would not be looked down upon. It would be easy to find a wife in the future.
After that, when Jiujiu mentioned Lin Zeyu to the old steward and Xiao Cui, the two of them were not as opposed as before. Even when they talked about Lin Zeyu, Xiao Cui showed an expectant expression. Her words showed that she wanted to meet Lin Zeyu.
Naturally, the old steward was the same.
Although Jiujiu had praised Lin Zeyu to the point that he was like heaven and earth, seeing was believing.
Jiujiu was young and easily deceived. He was older. As long as he saw it, he would not be far from the truth.
Although Jiujiu's original intention was to marry directly, now that the old steward and Xiao Cui insisted, Jiujiu had no choice but to call Lin Zeyu out for a meeting.
The place where they met was in a private room in a hotel owned by Jiujiu.
Before Lin Zeyu came in, the old steward and Xiao Cui were imagining what kind of person Lin Zeyu was.
