Chapter 971 Chapter 971
Jin Qi lived in the princess's villa, and his life was not difficult.
She even had a little more hope.
"Panxi, you have met the prince, what is his temperament like?" When Panxi heard this question again, he lowered his head and patiently repeated the answer he had given many times in the past.
"The prince is tall and straight, with a handsome face. He never speaks loudly or fiercely, and seems to have a very good temper."
Jin Qi was dressed in plain white mourning clothes, leaning on the couch, gazing out the window with his chin in his hand.
"My aunt's body has been kept for many days, and few outsiders have come to pay their respects. But the prince didn't come either. Could it be that the marriage is not going to happen?"
When Pan Xi returned to the familiar place, the first thing he did was to hide.
Hiding from the servants, maids, and old women that he used to be familiar with, hiding from his parents, and of course, the most important thing was to hide from his eldest daughter.
fortunately!
After the incident that happened to the eldest girl, she could only live in Dicuixuan. If she came out occasionally, it would not be a coincidence for her and Jin Qi to meet each other.
Jin Qi went to Diecuixuan several times, and even when Diecuixuan caught fire, she suppressed her panic and did not follow Jin Qi.
He dodged it with all his might.
Panxi had a deep-seated fear of Jin Fuyun. When the new seventh girl's heart was full of thoughts of marrying in her place, Panxi for the first time considered becoming a runaway slave.
But Jin Qi didn't know.
She held her chin with both hands, leaning on the high table beside the couch, her eyes full of longing.
"Panxi, you are most familiar with this mansion, go and ask around and see what your uncle has to say." Jin Qi is smart, he never does anything that would be annoying. Even though he pays his respects to Jin Meng and Jin Yunfan and his wife every day, he never takes the initiative to ask about these matters.
At most, he would say a few words in agreement when Jiang complained about Jin Fuyun.
She kept herself clean, but she would not allow Panxi to be lazy and idle. With such an order, Panxi felt overwhelmed.
"Seventh Miss, everyone in the mansion is worried about being involved in the affairs of the eldest lady. I used to serve the eldest lady, but I am afraid that I will be scolded as soon as I open my mouth."
"You have brains, Sister Panxi, just ask in a tactful way, isn't it?"
Pan Xi had no choice but to go out occasionally, but now the people in the mansion had been replaced a lot after returning from Liyang.
Occasionally, there were two old women I was familiar with, and they would scold me in a sarcastic tone before they even opened their mouths.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Panxi?"
She forced a wry smile and said, "Sister-in-law Qin, it's me."
"Why don't you serve the eldest girl and instead run errands for the seventh girl?" Mrs. Qin was in her forties and had a very loud voice. As soon as she spoke, she attracted several maids who were huddled by the fire in the room.
Someone pushed the door open and looked in. "Oh my! Miss Panxi, times have changed. You dare to step into such a dirty place like ours."
In the past, when Pan Xi was in power, he would inevitably act recklessly in the mansion.
The maids in the kitchen and the warehouse were often scolded by her and Panlan. Seeing that she was favored by the eldest girl, these maids endured it on the surface and dared not say a word, but they poked her in the spine behind her back and scolded her in a way that was unbearable to hear.
Now, looking at Panxi's clothes and appearance, she doesn't seem as wealthy as before.
They all had discerning eyes. When they saw that the eldest girl came back without bringing her, they knew that this domineering maid would not have a good end.
Sure enough, in the twelfth lunar month, he actually came back with the Seventh Girl.
What a ghost!
I have seen people moving up the ladder, but I have never seen someone like Pan Xi, a little bitch who lost her virginity when she married Qiao Wan and was beaten by Qiao Wan's wife, but now she can be a maid for Seventh Girl, an innocent girl who has never been married.
Gee!
How could the maids bear to see this? In the past few days, this maid was smart. She always went with the others to get food and charcoal, and was never left alone.
Now that she's here at my doorstep, how can I let her go?
One after another, they gathered around. Pan Xi felt something was wrong and wanted to leave, but when he turned around, he almost bumped into the arms of a fat woman.
"Ouch! Panxi, this is not your man's belly, nor is it your mother's chest. Why are you bumping into me? You've hurt my sister-in-law."
As soon as these obscene words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Because there was a funeral at the mansion, the maids just laughed, but then covered their mouths and said, "We can't lose our manners in front of Miss Panxi, otherwise we will be fined three months' salary. How will the whole family live?"
In the past, when it came to fining monthly wages, Panxi and Panlan relied on their status as the eldest daughters who managed the household and acted lawless. If they did something wrong, they would be fined for a month or two...
The fat sister-in-law who was speaking was fined three months' salary because the duck she made for her eldest daughter was stolen by someone else and she insisted that it was her fault.
The maids in this mansion all have children at home. The fat sister-in-law has two sons and two daughters, all of whom stretch their necks and open their mouths, and want to eat as soon as they wake up.
This sudden fine of three months' salary made the fat sister-in-law cry for half a month.
Afterwards, when it comes to insulting Panxi and Panlan, this fat sister-in-law was the most active. She was much more severe than Sister-in-law Qin who was only punished for one month.
Pan Xi's face turned red as everyone laughed.
"I took the wrong road and bothered you sisters-in-law. I'll go back now."
Yo!
"Where are you going back to?" Mrs. Qin came over, pretending to be close, and wanted to hold Panxi's arm. Panxi was startled and quickly shook it off.
Mrs. Qin's face suddenly turned fierce again, "Oh, Miss Panxi, why do you still despise us rough people?"
Pan Xi lowered his head and wanted to escape.
But four or five maids, all of whom were sharp-eyed and strong, worked together to grab Pan Xi and drag her to the warehouse where several people were warming themselves by the fire and lazing around.
"You are a little bitch who lost your virginity to Qiao Wan, and you still dare to look down on me. I married a man in a formal way, with a clean and honest character. Who is like you?"
Pan Xi said with a sad face, "What do you want to do, sisters-in-law? You have delayed the masters' work for a while. Are you going to take the beating for me?"
Yo ho!
"master?"
The fat sister-in-law tugged at her hair and asked, "Which master? Is your master the eldest girl, or the dead Qiao Wan?"
Pan Xi's hair was pulled and hurt, and she cried out, "I am just a maid. I will serve whoever the general asks me to serve. It is unreasonable for you sisters-in-law to block me."
"Oh! People who have been to Liyang are different. They speak more politely. I have seen people who forget their principles and take advantage of others, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as you. Now that the eldest lady's Diecuixuan has been burned down, you will not serve her?"
The maids spoke in a sarcastic tone, pinching and grabbing her from time to time. Everyone knew that the eldest daughter was useless now, so how could the seventh daughter stand up?
dream!
How can an orphan girl who lives under someone else's roof and hopes to become her brother-in-law's concubine be a good person?
Everyone in the princess's villa looked down on Jin Qi.
They even looked down on Pan Xi, who was trying to live a life of shame and relying on Jin Qi to survive. They ignored Pan Xi's crying, teased and pinched her like a monkey, and only let her go after a long time.
"Go and sue your Seventh Miss, and also fine us our monthly salary."
