Chapter 171 Qiuxiang's Transformation

"Niu County Lieutenant is now the general of the North City. There are countless young ladies who come to him to propose marriage. Even if you like him, with your status as a slave, you can only be a concubine at most!"

Qiuxiang taunted Chunzhu.

Although the county lieutenant has no rank, he can barely be called a general.

Chunzhu's face turned pale, and he immediately said loudly to Qiuxiang: "Madam has asked the master to give me the indenture, and I am now a free man."

After hearing this, Qiuxiang ignored Chunzhu.

In her mind, without the indenture contract, she would lose her connection with the Lu Mansion and would have nothing to do with her in the future.

Naturally, there is no need to have any additional connection with Chunzhu.

Xu Qiuyue also said that she would give her indenture contract to her.

But Qiuxiang didn't want it.

She still wanted to stay in the Lu Mansion, but without the indenture, she could not stay there.

Moreover, the indenture contract is in Xu Qiuyue's hands, so Xu Qiuyue will trust her and let her do more important things.

Although she came later, she became the manager.

Chunzhu! She was still a maid, but she had an additional job as a cook in the barracks. She was no match for her.

Qiuxiang knew Xu Qiuyue's character. Xu Qiuyue was born in a peasant family and was much kinder than those cold-blooded daughters of aristocratic families. In Xu Qiuyue's heart, the lives of servants were also lives.

This is also the reason why Qiuxiang is willing to follow Xu Qiuyue.

She thought, perhaps this was also the reason why Lu Yuan had always liked Xu Qiuyue.

However, Qiuxiang felt that it was a good decision to come to Beicheng this time.

For the first time, she felt that women didn’t necessarily have to get married.

If Lu Yuan is really a perfect man who is not moved by beauty, she will adopt a few orphans and raise them by her side, so that she will have a son and a daughter. She doesn't want to marry another man in this life and be trapped in the harem, feeling depressed and unhappy.

Now that I have never seen the light, perhaps I will never yearn for the light in this life.

But it has seen the light.

Now that she knows what kind of life she wants, she doesn't want to go back to her old life.

···········
In fact, Xu Qiuyue had noticed something about Qiuxiang's thoughts.

However, Xu Qiuyue knew very well that Lu Yuan would not like Qiuxiang, which did not mean that Lu Yuan was a very upright person.

But Lu Yuan likes sunny women.

Qiuxiang's personality is actually similar to Xu Qiuyue's.

After living a new life, although her body became younger, Xu Qiuyue's heart was already extremely old.

How can she be sunny if she has resentment in her heart?

Sometimes, Xu Qiuyue doesn't know who she should hate.

Hate Xu's father and Xu's mother.

If they knew the truth, they would still do the same.

However, Xu Qiuyue was even more reluctant to let the Xu family know the truth, otherwise, if they started to act out the story of loving mother and filial son again, Xu Qiuyue would only feel disgusted.

It was precisely because of the experience in her previous life that Xu Qiuyue speculated about Lu Yuan's inner thoughts with the greatest malice.

She would never pin her future on Lu Yuan. The only one she could rely on was herself.

Perhaps because they had shared hardships in Beicheng, Lu Yuan's attitude towards Xu Qiuyue became much better and more sincere than when he was in Beijing.

The relationship between the two of them became a little more natural.

Xu Qiuyue actually knew very well that Qiuxiang only saw the good side of Lu Yuan, so she was attracted to Lu Yuan.

But Xu Qiuyue knew very well that Lu Yuan looked pretty good now.

There is no such thing as a concubine, not because Lu Yuan doesn't want to, but because Lu Yuan can't control her.

Lu Yuan didn't know Xu Qiuyue's true strength. To Lu Yuan, Xu Qiuyue was very mysterious and powerful.

Xu Qiuyue has a bad temper and will take revenge if she has any.

Lu Yuan now treats Xu Qiuyue with some sincerity, but also some fear.

It is precisely because of this sense of awe that in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Lu Yuan is very good to his wife.

He discusses all daily matters with her, and only has eyes for her, not even looking at other women.

In fact, the relationship between Lu Yuan and Xu Qiuyue is that of a partnership, and they live together.

Whenever Lu Yuan encountered a problem that he couldn't handle, he would definitely discuss it with Xu Qiuyue, just like Xuan Jiuqing would also discuss it with his advisers whenever he encountered a problem.

Lu Yuan didn't say it explicitly, but Xu Qiuyue had already seen what Lu Yuan was planning.

Lu Yuan wanted to leave a way out, and Xu Qiuyue also wanted to leave a way out.

It's okay to live alone in seclusion in the mountains for a few months, but it would be too hard for you to stay there for a lifetime.

Although Xu Qiuyue likes farming, she doesn't like farming alone in the deep mountains and forests.

She still likes to stay in crowded places.

In your spare time, you can go to a teahouse to listen to storytellers, or go to a theater to listen to a play.

And sometimes I don’t want to cook.

You can go to the street to buy your favorite delicious food.

There are also many daily necessities. If you really go into seclusion, it will not be so convenient to buy these items.

Xu Qiuyue can actually use the space to help Lu Yuan transport vegetables. Putting vegetables in the space will definitely be very fresh.

But Xu Qiuyue did not reveal the fact that she had space at all.

There is no need to expose one's own space just to save a little money. What's more, Xu Qiuyue feels that Lu Yuan is rich and can afford this little money. Some money can actually be wasted.

Only if he loses this money and becomes penniless, will Lu Yuan work harder to earn more money.

Xu Qiuyue knew that Chunzhu was interested in Niu Dali, so she tentatively asked Niu Dali about his opinion.

Niu Dali said that he didn't care about the maid's background. He didn't care about these things. He was a countryman and countrymen usually only married one woman, so she must be the main wife.

Xu Qiuyue was overjoyed when she heard Niu Dali's words. She knew that Niu Dali said this because he must have liked the maid in her house.

Unexpectedly, the person Niu Dali proposed to was Xingzhu, not Chunzhu who followed him every day.

Chunzhu has good cooking skills and has learned from Xu Qiuyue for a long time, so his cooking skills are quite good.

Xingzhu is good at martial arts and can read, a rare talent.

But I can’t cook and my cooking skills are not good.

Niu Dali said that it didn't matter. He said that when he got married, he wouldn't have to cook for his wife. He could just hire a maid who could cook. His monthly salary was not low. Now he could also collect pearls, plus earn some extra money, so his income was quite high.

So hiring a few maids is not a problem.

He is Xiangzhong Xingzhu.

Moreover, in the future, if he can’t afford a maid, he has known how to cook since he was a child, so this won’t be a problem at all.

Xu Qiuyue was stunned for a moment and did not agree immediately.

She wanted to see Xingzhu's opinion.

In case Xingzhu doesn't like Niu Dali, she can still match Chunzhu and Niu Dali.

After all, Chunzhu really likes Niu Dali and wants to be the wife of a county lieutenant!

Based on Xing Zhu's words, Xu Qiuyue felt that she and Lu Yuan would definitely return to the capital.

Another thing is that Xu Qiuyue didn’t realize that Xingzhu really wanted to get married.

After all, Xingzhu is a man of the world.
