After Bi Lian finished speaking, she immediately went to the door and asked Bai Lian to come in and serve Jiujiu. She then quickly disappeared from the door.
Looking at Bilian's swift movements, she didn't look like someone who would usually put on a 'weak and helpless' look whenever she was asked to do something.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and let Bai Lian, who came in, comb her hair casually. She was sorting out the current situation.
Today, Nan Xi came to Nan Dongbei's house in the name of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After seeing Nan Xiang, she pretended to be concerned and took the initiative to ask if Nan Xiang was betrothed.
Nan Dongbei and his wife were honest people. They told her all their thoughts and needs. When Nan Xi saw this, she immediately took the initiative to let her son marry into the family.
At this time, Yang Xian took the opportunity to get close to Nan Xiang. Under Nan Xi's instructions, he did a lot of ambiguous actions to make Nan Dongbei and his wife misunderstand when Nan Xiang did not know. This made Nan Dongbei and his wife think that Nan Xiang and Yang Xian were in love, so they agreed to Nan Xi's proposal.
In fact.
Nan Xiang did not have any feelings for Yang Xian. The reason why she agreed was because Nan Dongbei and his wife mentioned this matter. She felt that it was the same who she married. Yang Xian was a relative and should be better than others. So when Nan Dongbei and his wife proposed to let her marry Yang Xian, she went with the flow and agreed.
But what she did not expect was that Yang Xian would hook up with her personal maid, which was Bi Lian.
And Bi Lian was really as shameless as her name.
When she was sold by her father to the trafficker in exchange for money, if Nan Xiang did not pass by and saw her crying pitifully and bought her, she would not be able to live the same life as the eldest miss in the Lord Protector's Manor. She would have been sold to the brothel by the trafficker. 'A pair of jade arms for thousands of people to sleep on, a pair of red lips for thousands of people to taste'.
She did not thank Nan Xiang for her kindness. Instead, she hooked up with her husband. In the end, she colluded with Yang Xian to drug Nan Xiang, causing Nan Xiang to have a hemorrhage during childbirth.
As for Yang Xian, he was also a shameless person like Bi Lian.
If you like Bi Lian, you can just tell Nan Xiang. Nan Xiang and Bi Lian's hypocritical friendship, not only would Nan Xiang not stop them, she might even raise Bi Lian to be a concubine.
However, Yang Xian wanted to have a good reputation.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Therefore, Yang Xian killed Nan Xiang.
If Nan Xiang died, he could think of his deceased wife's name and marry Bi Lian. Not only could he get the beauty, but he could also get a good reputation. Wasn't it perfect?
However, Yang Xian had forgotten that the Marquis's residence belonged to Nanxiang. He was just a husband who had married into the Marquis's family, and Bi Lian was just a servant.
The true master of the Marquis's Mansion was Nanxiang.
He and Bi Lian were outsiders. They stayed in other people's territory and enjoyed the benefits of Nanxiang's identity.
After staying in a place for a long time, the owner would be easier to talk to. On the contrary, they would start to forget who they were.
Jiujiu felt that birds of a feather flock together.
Otherwise, why would Yang Xian be with Bi Lian?
Because they were all shameless.
People like Yang Xian were both stupid and bad.
And people like Bi Lian were the typical ungrateful wretch.
Since the two of them wanted to be together, one was willing to poison his wife, and the other was willing to betray her master and harm others, Jiujiu decided that in this life, she must fulfill the wishes of this pair of unfortunate mandarin ducks. She must make the process of their life together smooth and without any difficulties.
After all, looking at Bi Lian's impatient look now, it was possible that the two of them had already hooked up before Yang Xian married Nan Xiang.
Thinking of this, Nan Xiang was really pitiful.
In the past, Nan Xiang felt that Bi Lian was clever and sensible, so she liked to keep Bi Lian by her side. She was alienated from Bai Lian, a servant who only knew how to do things and did not know how to say good things.
Compared to Nan Xiang who only looked at the surface, Jiujiu liked a loyal servant like Bai Lian very much.
Seeing Bai Lian combing her hair neatly, Jiujiu handed a pearl hairpin on her table to Bai Lian, "This is your reward."
Although Bai Lian was a personal servant, because Bi Lian knew how to say good things to please Nan Xiang, it was not her turn to be rewarded. Suddenly receiving a reward from Jiujiu, Bai Lian was flattered and thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss."
Bai Lian carefully kept the pearl hairpin close to her chest.
Jiujiu chuckled when she saw Bai Lian treat the hairpin she had casually bestowed upon her as a treasure. "It's not like it's anything precious. Just wear it."
If Bi Lian saw it, she would frame Bai Lian and say that she stole it and drive Bai Lian out.
After all, Bi Lian did do such a thing in her previous life.
Although Nan Xiang felt that Bai Lian would not do such a thing at that time, the evidence was conclusive, and Bi Lian said that she saw Bai Lian steal with her own eyes, so Nan Xiang could only send Bai Lian out.
According to the servant, after Bai Lian was sent out, she kowtowed at the door for a long time before leaving. Later, after Nan Xiang passed away, Bai Lian came back to attend the funeral.
A servant who was wronged and driven out by the main family but still came back to attend the funeral was a million times better than Bi Lian, who had a conscience.
Nan Xiang had eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai, but Jiujiu liked servant girls like Bai Lian the most.
Since Jiujiu said so, Bai Lian immediately put the pearl hairpin on her hair.
Jiujiu looked at Bai Lian's obedient appearance, thought for a while, and said, "A few days ago, Father gave me a bolt of cloth, the color is a little too bright, I don't like it. Go to the warehouse tomorrow and tell the housekeeper, I will take it and make some clothes for you."
Bai Lian was different from Bi Lian, who was a servant girl bought from outside. Bai Lian did not sign a contract to sell her body. If her family wanted, they could buy her back with some money.
This was also the reason why Bai Lian had a good life after being sent out.
Bai Lian was not young anymore, she had reached the age to talk about marriage.
Boys at this age all liked to be pretty and only looked at the superficial appearance.
Even if Bai Lian's heart shone like gold, her appearance was not delicate enough, so no one cared about her.
Jiujiu liked Bai Lian, so naturally, she was willing to praise Bai Lian.
Bai Lian had served Nan Xiang for so many years. Although she had received it last time, it was only a small thing like a pearl hairpin. She had never received clothes made of cloth like last time.
Bai Lian immediately knelt on the ground and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss."
"It's okay, you deserve it."
Jiujiu said lightly and pouted, "If you don't do it well, my mother will be anxious."
Hearing that the Marchioness was mentioned, Bai Lian quickly got up from the ground and began to tidy up Jiujiu's makeup.
Although Bai Lian was extravagant, her hands were very skillful. Her makeup skills were better than the modern makeup artists.
Jiujiu looked at herself, who was beautifully dressed by Bai Lian, and changed into a group of clothes and walked to the hall.
When Jiujiu arrived, Nan Dongbei, Li Guiqin, Nan Xi, and Yang Xian were sitting in the hall drinking tea.
