Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 5 Intrigue
Shen Fuyu looked up and widened his eyes.

Daya is worthy of being Daya, the name really suits her.

She is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has a strong build. Shen Fuyu is malnourished and underdeveloped, so Daya is almost twice as tall as her.

"Daya, look at you, you don't look feminine at all, and you still dare to be jealous of me. You must be blind to like you. Daya, if you ask me, you should just be a maid. At least you can have enough to eat, right? If you get married, which man can support you?"

Xiao Taohong pinched the handkerchief with her slender jade fingers, covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, her charming eyes full of mockery.

"You!" Daya was so angry that she raised her hand subconsciously.

Shen Fuyu stood quietly by the side. If this slap went down...

Unexpectedly, Xiao Taohong was not afraid at all and even took two steps forward.

"Daya, do you dare to hit me?"

The little maid following behind Daya hurriedly pulled Daya back.

"Daya, let's not bother with this kind of people."

"People like us who work honestly are really no match for those with ulterior motives."

Behind everyone were three or five little maids wearing pink clothes.

Immediately, several more maids ran over.

"You're just jealous. You can't compare to our little sister Taohong's delicate skin and tender flesh, so you can only do rough work."

Just as the two sides were about to start arguing again, a housekeeper came in.

The housekeeper didn't say a word, but glanced at them with her sharp eyes. Xiao Taohong and Daya immediately quieted down and stood respectfully. It was obvious that the housekeeper had a very high status.

"I don't care how you quarrel with each other, just do everything you need to do. If there are any mistakes..."

The housekeeper sneered, and her wrinkled face became even more terrifying.

"Mammy, don't worry, we know our limits." Xiao Taohong gave a flattering smile.

The housekeeper gave a warning and then left the yard.

Xiao Taohong and Daya looked at each other and separated with cold faces.

"boom!"

The door slammed shut with force.

Shen Fuyu took in the entire farce without showing any emotion.

It turns out that there are factions among the servants.

One part is headed by Xiao Taohong, and the other part is headed by Daya.

"Sister Taohong, shouldn't I be happy to be friends with someone as beautiful as you? Why did Sister Daya say that about you?" Shen Fuyu blinked her bright eyes, showing her innocence to the extreme.

Xiao Taohong felt a little proud in her heart, "Of course I'm jealous."

"Sister Fuyu, this is your room."

"Hong Xing, when I'm not around, you can teach her some manners."

"Sister Fuyu will stay with the eldest lady in the future. If she wins the eldest lady's favor, we will definitely benefit from it."

Xiao Taohong always speaks directly, and she doesn't hide anything even in front of Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu glanced at Xiao Taohong's forehead, which was light green.

It means that Xiao Taohong's favorability towards her is increasing.

Shen Fuyu raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Thank you, Sister Taohong, for your concern."

"Okay, you just got here, you must be a little tired."

"Rest first, I'll teach you the rules tomorrow."

Xiao Taohong left after saying a few words.

Shen Fuyu's eyes were full of confusion. "Sister Hongxing, Sister Taohong won't you rest with us?"

Hong Xing covered her mouth and smiled, her pretty face becoming meaningful. "Sister Fu Yu, you'll understand when you grow up."

Shen Fuyu nodded, pretending to understand but not quite.

As the night grew darker, the huge Shen Mansion became quiet. They slept on a large bunk bed.

Shen Fuyu is in the corner.

She took off her shoes and socks and was about to climb into bed when she felt something sticky on her hand.

Slippery and very cold.

Shen Fuyu calmly lifted the quilt and saw clearly through the light green favorability.

It was a snake. A black, non-venomous snake.

It's only her first day here, who wants to teach her a lesson?

The black snake rubbed Shen Fuyu's fingertips as if to please him.

Shen Fuyu showed no emotion as he stroked the snake with his fingers intermittently.

Over there, Hongyan waited for a long time but heard no movement. She couldn't help but come to Shen Fuyu's side and asked with a smile: "Sister Fuyu, why aren't you sleeping yet? Are you not used to the environment?"

While speaking, his eyes kept looking inside Shen Fuyu's quilt.

strangeness.

Why didn't Shen Fuyu respond?
Could it be that the black snake ran away?

You won’t run away somewhere else!

Shen Fuyu saw the red favorability indicator above Hongyan's head at a glance, and immediately realized that it was Hongyan who was secretly plotting against him.

The girl narrowed her eyes dangerously.

Shen Fuyu suddenly got goosebumps all over her body and bit her lip to suppress the scream that was about to burst out.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out, bringing Shen Fuyu back to his senses.

The candles had just been blown out, but the maids were still awake. Upon hearing the noise, they immediately lit the candles and gathered in the direction of Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu's dark eyes turned around, and he soon came up with an idea.

Shen Fuyu lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.

Then she fell weakly onto the bed, looking frightened.

At this time, the maids all gathered around and tried to see what was happening in the dim candlelight.

Shen Fuyu saw a black snake wrapped around her arm, with its tongue sticking out, as if it would bite her at any time.

They were all sold when they were young.

Although I often do dirty and tiring work, I have never seen a snake.

"Ah!" The little maids screamed.

The oldest of these little maids was only thirteen years old, so they would naturally be scared when they saw such a scene.

"Hahahaha, new here, don't you think we'll be nice to you just because you hook up with Sister Taohong?"

"So what if he's the young lady's servant? After all, the young lady is..."

"That's right, that's right. You, a newcomer, actually dared to compete with us for Sister Taohong's favor. I don't know what tricks you used to make Sister Taohong treat you with special care."

"If you know what's good for you, we're all good sisters. Otherwise, we'll make you pay!"

Seeing the expected scene, the beauty raised her chin proudly, she deserved it!
Hongyan was already dissatisfied when Shen Fuyu and Xiao Taohong came in hand in hand.

These little maids are usually under the care of Xiao Taohong.

He usually tries to please Xiao Taohong, hoping that Xiao Taohong can assign him a good job.

What was the result? Shen Fuyu had only been here for less than half a day, and he was already able to gain Xiao Taohong's attention.

Even special care.

How could they not be jealous?

"You, you guys!" Hong Xing's chest rose and fell violently, and she was obviously very angry. "If Sister Taohong knew that you were doing this in private, she would definitely be angry."

"Hong Xing, you'd better think carefully before you speak. Are you going to go against us for someone who won't stay for long?" Hong Yan's tone was full of threats.

"That's not right. Sister Fuyu was brought here by Sister Taohong herself. Hongyan, you're really going too far!"

The two had an argument.

It turned out to be the case.

After just a few words, Shen Fuyu reacted.

Gee tut.

It turns out that there are also open and covert struggles within the organization.

Shen Fuyu took a look in the dim light of the candle and memorized the beautiful woman's delicate face in his heart.

blacksnake.

It just looks scary, not poisonous.
