Chapter 622 Buy Huayi back for me!
Liu Nanshi frowned in disgust: "Why are you screaming? Are you screaming so miserably on purpose so that others will think I'm torturing you? Shut their mouths!"
Soon, a servant came forward and shut the maids' mouths.
Liu Nanshi's frown finally relaxed. She looked at the servant's nimble movements, her appearance of strength, and sighed, "You're all just good-looking but useless. You're not even as good as Shen Mingxuan's maid. I heard that Shen Mingxuan was able to escape from Chichun Lane thanks to her maid. That maid was incredibly strong and loyal to her master, much better than you losers!"
Mrs. Tian's eyes rolled, and she stepped forward to flatter her, "Miss, have you also heard that the Shen family has a maid with great strength? Then did you know that the two young ladies of the Shen family quarreled fiercely this morning over that maid, and they almost fought to the point of bleeding!"
"What? There is such a thing?"
Liu Nanshi discovered early in the morning that all the valuables in her house had been stolen. She was furious and had a big tantrum. Later, she heard that Xiao Qingyuan and Gu Qianhan had quarreled in Qingyun Building. She wanted to find out why Xiao Qingyuan didn't marry her, so she rushed over without stopping.
She didn't know yet that Shen Wantang and Shen Mingxuan had quarreled over a maid.
She immediately became interested and ordered the maid: "Zidong, reward!"
Zi Dong's face froze. Now that the courtyard had been looted, how could she afford to reward anyone? But she didn't dare to say anything, or else she would suffer the same fate as the maids and nannies before her.
She could only take out some money from her own pocket and give it to Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian was very happy to get the silver. She knew that Liu Nanshi was interested in the Shen family's affairs and had been asking about them. This time, the money finally came in handy.
She immediately started talking non-stop, "Miss, you don't know, that extremely powerful maid was originally from the Second Miss of the Shen family. But somehow she offended the Second Miss Shen and was driven away, so she went to seek refuge with the First Miss Shen."
"It was only after that maid went to Miss Shen's side that her true strength was revealed. She was extremely strong and could beat ten men at once! No matter how strong a man was, he was nothing but a silver spear in front of her!"
"Now Second Miss Shen regrets it. Oh, she disregarded sisterly love and insisted on detaining the maid. She wanted the maid to protect her personally and refused to return her to First Miss Shen no matter what."
Liu Nanshi listened with great interest. Shen Wantang and Shen Mingxuan were fighting, and she was so happy!
She hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Shen Mingxuan is just going to return the maid to Shen Wantang like this? How could she be willing to give up such a useful maid?"
"Oh, Miss, how could she bear to do that? Such a powerful maid can save her life at a critical moment. Who would be willing to do that? But there is no other way. The maid's indenture is in the hands of Miss Shen Er!"
Liu Nanshi frowned. "The indentures are in Shen Wantang's hands? How could she, a concubine's daughter, have the indentures of a maidservant? I vaguely heard that her legitimate mother is no pushover. How could she give her a maidservant and not keep any other hand? Shouldn't the indentures of all the maidservants around Shen Wantang be in her legitimate mother's possession?"
This is how it is in their Ge Lao Mansion, and most of the legitimate mothers of wealthy families in the capital do the same. The people who serve the concubines' sons and daughters are almost all sent by the legitimate mother, and the indentures are all in the hands of the legitimate mother!
Mother Tian hurriedly said, "Miss, this extremely strong maidservant was not originally a servant of the Shen family, but a servant of Prince Ning's Mansion! I heard that the prince gave her to Miss Shen Er. The maidservant's name is Huayi!"
Liu Nanshi was shocked: "What? It's actually Huayi?!"
She knew that Xiao Qingyuan had given Shen Wantang four maids, which were the four given to her by Princess Ning when Shen Wantang married into the Ning Palace in her previous life.
Because Xiao Qingyuan hated Shen Wantang, he also hated the maids around her. After being reborn in this life, he simply gave those annoying maids to Shen Wantang.
But Liu Nanshi didn't expect that the meaning of the painting was actually hidden!
In her previous life, Huayi was Xiao Qingyuan's maid and even got pregnant, but she had never heard of Huayi's infinite power!
So in this life, when she heard that Shen Mingxuan was rescued by the maid beside her, she didn't think of Huayi at all. She thought she was a maid in the Shen family!
Seeing Liu Nanshi so shocked, Mrs. Tian couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Miss, do you know the meaning of painting?"
Liu Nanshi nodded: "I have seen him before, so I guess we know each other!"
Mrs. Tian was overjoyed: "Oh, since the young lady knows her, that couldn't be better!"
Liu Nanshi frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Miss, the two young ladies of the Shen family were arguing over that painting, but in fact, the maid was unwilling to serve the Second Young Miss Shen at all. She wanted to return to serve the First Young Miss Shen, but the Second Young Miss Shen would rather sell her to outsiders than return her to the First Young Miss Shen!"
Liu Nanshi's eyes lit up: "Shen Wantang wants to sell Huayi? Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true, Miss!"
Mrs. Tian smiled widely, "Miss, think about it. Hua Yi is no longer loyal to Second Miss Shen. She's so powerful, would Second Miss Shen dare to keep her around? It's better to sell her off!"
Liu Nanshi couldn't help but nodded: "There is some truth to that."
"Miss, since you're short of capable helpers, why not just buy her over? Second Miss Shen is timid and lacks any skills, so naturally she can't control such a powerful maid. But you, Miss, are different. Aren't all maids in your hands expected to obey you?"
Liu Nanshi looked at the maids kneeling on the ground, a conceited smile playing on her lips. "Of course, I'm much better at controlling my subordinates than someone like Shen Wantang who comes from a humble family! Since a cowardly fool like her doesn't dare to ask for Hua Yi, I'll do it!"
"Yes, yes, a maid like that should serve the young lady! No one else is worthy!"
"Mrs. Tian, I see you're quite familiar with the outside world. If that's the case, then please go to the Shen family for me and buy the painting back for me!"
Mrs. Tian quickly agreed: "Yes, Miss! But I wonder how much silver you think is appropriate to buy it for?"
"Two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary maid, and the best maid is only five taels of silver. As for Hua Yi, give ten taels of silver to Shen Wantang! Zidong, give ten taels of silver to Tian Pozi!"
Zi Dong froze again. Ten taels of silver?!
Now, even if she was beaten to death, she would not be able to take it out. Her monthly allowance was only one or two taels of silver. After deducting the money for honoring her parents, she could not save ten taels in a year!
She immediately knelt down and said, "Miss, we, we have no money left. The thieves have taken it all."
