The door curtain of the room was pushed open, and Jing Yu stepped in.

He first stood at the brazier at the door to grill himself, and after the coldness dissipated from his body, he walked to Qian Xue's side.

"You know how to hide, so I can find it easily." Jing Yu randomly found a place to sit down.

Qianxue quickly stood up and saluted, "Master, do you have something to give me?"

Jing Yu stared at her for a long time and couldn't help but frown slightly, "If I have nothing to say, can't I come to see you?"

The words were too ambiguous, and Qianxue couldn't help but squeeze the hand holding the thread tightly.

"Go back with me first." Jing Yu stood up and went to hold her hand, but Qian Xue put down the thread in her hand, which Jing Yu missed.

When Grandma Li saw this situation, she quickly put away the embroidery basket, then started chasing people away with a smile.

Jing Yu rolled his sleeves and retracted his hand, his voice a little hoarse, "Hurry up and follow."

Qianxue did not dare to refuse anymore and trotted after Jing Yu.

After entering Jing Yu's bedroom, Jing Yu spoke again: "Your outfit looks very good today, why don't you wear it now?"

Qian Xue's heart suddenly moved. Could it be that the young master saw her feelings about Qi Lingying...

Qi Lingying's presence made her feel a little helpless and a little ashamed of herself.

However, she quickly suppressed this thought. The young master had never considered her thoughts carefully, so why should he expect it this time?

"Back to the young master, because the clothes were stained with dirt, I just changed my clothes."

Jing Yu looked at Qian Xue for a long time, and then warned: "Just be more careful in the future. If you like it, it's okay to buy some other colors of material and wear it, just tell me."

Qian Xue responded softly and stood there without moving.

Jing Yu's expression became more relaxed. He leaned lazily on the back of the chair with a smile in his eyes, feeling very satisfied that things were settled.

He hooked his hands towards Qianxue, and when he saw that she didn't move, he held her wrist and gently pulled her, naturally holding Qianxue in his arms.

Maybe it was because Jing Yu had done this a lot, but Qian Xue was not frightened like before. Instead, she followed Jing Yu's strength and softened her waist, leaning into his arms.

Jing Yu was very pleased by this move. He played with Qian Xue's fingers and spoke in a casual tone.

"You are different now, and you should have someone to take care of you. Then I will move to a new mansion with you, and I will choose someone temporarily, so I'm afraid you won't be able to use it well."

Qianxue opened her mouth to refuse, but feeling Jing Yu's weight on her shoulders, she wisely shut down. Now was not the time.

She couldn't challenge Jing Yu's bottom line again and again.

Seeing that Qian Xue didn't refute, Jing Yu felt a little better and made his decision immediately.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Yazi to bring you over. You can choose one that suits your eyes first. If it doesn't suit you, you can change it later."

On the second day, Jingfu's regular Yapo stood in front of Qianxue with more than a dozen young girls, waiting for her to choose with a smile on her face.

Although these more than ten children had all changed into clean clothes, they were all very skinny. They looked at Qianxue with timidity and fear in their eyes, as if she were a monster that could eat people.

Qianxue felt sour in her heart. At this moment, she seemed to see herself when she was a child.

Seeing that Qianxue seemed a little unnatural, Yapo, who had seen a lot of people of all kinds, cleverly explained the situation of these girls to Qianxue.

Her introduction was very precise and appropriate, as if the dozen children in front of her were just objects with various uses.

It is enough for the owner to know whether it is easy to use or not. Qian Xue did not relax in response to Ya Po's kind rescue. Instead, she became even more panicked and couldn't even stare at the girls.

"My slave has worked as a servant in other houses and is quite familiar with many rules. Training me does not require a lot of effort from the girl."

Qianxue looked along the voice and saw a small fair face with average features, but there was a confident and determined temperament that made her look very different from the people around her.

Just as Qianxue was thinking about it, Yapo had already walked up, grabbed the girl's ears and cursed: "There are no rules, is this a place where you can talk casually!"

Qian Xue was frightened by Ya Po's fierce expression and almost immediately settled on this girl.

If this girl is taken back by Yapo, she will be punished for who knows how much. She can't just sit back and watch.

Yapo immediately smiled again and pushed at the remaining girls, "How many more girls do you want to pick?"

Qianxue immediately shook her head. She didn't want any of them. The girl who left this speech was an accident. She couldn't accept the second one.

Ya Po was still smiling at Qian Xue, but as soon as she turned around and looked at the remaining girls, her expression immediately turned ugly.

"Everyone is like a mute. They don't know how to fight for the good masters they see. Are they planning to rely on me to celebrate the New Year?"

Tianxuan left with the cursing Yapo and the remaining girls, while Qianxue stared blankly at the backs of those thinly dressed figures.

"Girl, I should have given you some reward just now."

Qianxue's attention was drawn back by this voice and she looked at the little maid who had just been bought back.

The maid just smiled lightly and continued: "Now is the new year, and there are all kinds of people coming and going, so the girl should give some rewards, not only to satisfy the favor, but also to look more decent."

The little maid glanced at the direction Ya Po was leaving and said, "Ya Po's words were also meant for girls."

Qianxue looked at her with a smile and did not rush to answer. Instead, she led the person into the house first.

"Just find a place to sit."

The little maid was not frightened, but she chose a stool and sat down very calmly.

"what's your name?"

"Slave Ah Zhi, I hope the girl will give me a name." Ah Zhi lowered her head respectfully.

Qianxue just smiled and had no intention of changing Ah Zhi's name. She didn't even know how long she could stay in Jing Mansion, so why bother changing Ah Zhi's name?

"Your name is very nice, and it was given by your parents. Keeping this name is also a blessing."

Ah Zhi's eyes widened slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in them.

Qianxue opened her mouth and said, "I am a son of Jing family. I know all the rules you need to know."

She understood that Ah Zhi's words were just to express her own means of survival in the inner house and to show her usefulness.

Ah Zhi may have thought that she was the daughter of an ordinary civilian family. When she first entered this deep compound, she didn't understand the rules for a while, so she tried to show off.

Qianxue knew that Ah Zhi was not stupid, and it was enough to just point out some words.

"This room is a bit small and can only accommodate me. Your accommodation is currently arranged elsewhere."

Ah Zhi listened quietly to Qian Xue's words, doubts appearing in her eyes.

Qian Xue was not a person who liked to restrain others, so she said directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
