"Mommy, how can a young and vulgar person be worthy of serving the prince? I hope that I will take pity on Lin Shuang and transfer me to the west wing."
In the backyard, Lin Shuang'er knelt on the ground, holding on to Nanny Zhao's sleeves with both hands, begging bitterly.
She thought she had escaped disaster that day, but she didn't expect a greater disaster was yet to come.
Aunt Zhao came to her early in the morning and said that she would be transferred to serve the prince.
She was completely stunned.
Lin Shuang'er was afraid of Ye Beicheng and wanted to be thousands of miles away from him. But now, if Aunt Zhao wants to transfer her to Ye Beicheng, wouldn't she be sent into a tiger's mouth?
Even though Beicheng didn't recognize her that day and night, Lin Shuang'er couldn't guarantee that one day he would find out her identity after spending time together.
Lin Shuang'er was so anxious that she almost burst into tears as she grabbed hold of Aunt Zhao's sleeves and refused to let go.
"Mommy, please take pity on Lin Shuang. Lin Shuang is stupid and really can't do the job."
Aunt Zhao was also puzzled. There were so many smart and good-looking maids in the house, but Ye Beicheng didn't like any of them. He only liked the servant who was sweeping the yard.
Okay, Nanny Zhao admitted that Lin Shuang's appearance was a little too lively, but after all, he was a man, and he was not as careful as a woman.
Although Lin Shuang was diligent and hard-working, he was slow-tempered, taciturn, and did not know how to flatter his master and please him.
In addition, Ye Beicheng has a cold temperament and cruel methods, and Xue Yuan is the best example.
He doesn't tolerate mistakes from those around him!
"Lin Shuang, there's nothing I can do about it. I've already spoken kind words for you. As long as you stay on your own terms, the prince won't make things difficult for you."
To be honest, Aunt Zhao was reluctant to send Lin Shuang into the tiger's mouth. She also tried her best to persuade Ye Beicheng to make a good choice. Let a servant who sweeps the yard go to the master's side to serve him personally.
But once Ye Beicheng decides something, no one can shake it.
"I only want Lin Shuang!"
"If she doesn't know the rules, let her learn them!"
"I, the king, can give her time. If she still can't learn, then the Hou Mansion will not tolerate such a stupid person! At that time, Mammy can send her away and just ask her to leave the Hou Mansion!"
Ye Beicheng's words seemed to still be in his ears.
Lin Shuang's parents died young. If he left the Hou Mansion, where would he settle down?
Doesn't this push people to death?
Aunt Zhao sighed and said helplessly: "Being able to serve the prince is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes. If you do well, the prince will not treat you badly, and you will not stay in this backyard and be a sweeper for the rest of your life. A servant of the courtyard, don’t you think so?”
Lin Shuang'er shook her head: "Mommy, Lin Shuang doesn't want any blessings. Lin Shuang just wants to be a servant and fulfill his duties. Lin Shuang can give up such blessings to others."
Aunt Zhao gently poked her on the forehead: "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. How come you have no pursuit and are willing to sweep away the land for the rest of your life?"
Lin Shuang'er nodded firmly.
She is willing to sweep away the dust for the rest of her life. She does not want to pursue those unrealistic ideals because they consume too much energy.
She felt that the monthly payment of half a tael of silver was already very good, so how could she dare to be greedy for more?
Aunt Zhao hated the fact that iron could not become steel, and finally had to convey Ye Beicheng's original words to her.
"It's not that I didn't speak for you. The prince said that he only wants you. If you insist on refusing to go, then the Marquis Mansion will not be able to accommodate you."
"Don't blame grandma for saying ugly things first. Those who are kicked out of the house before the contract is fulfilled will be regarded as slaves for the rest of their lives, and they will never be able to escape slavery. Have you thought clearly about the consequences?"
"Mommy, I..."
"Go with confidence, the prince will not eat you."
