Chapter 372 The Rise of a Concubine (3)
Jiang Chiyi did not lay a hand on the poor girl.
Instead, he sat down next to her.
He doesn't know how to charm girls.
I could only awkwardly change the subject.
Ask her what she has been through.
Bai Ruofu did not lie.
She recounted a series of events, including how her mother was still serving Lin's mother, how she was chosen as Lin Jinyin's dowry maid when she was young, and how she was caught in the middle between Lin Jinyin and Lin Jinrou.
as predicted.
Jiang Chiyi felt sorry for him.
Because compared to the two, it's obvious that Bai Ruofu's life was much more difficult.
She was still a woman.
The future looks predictable.
She struggled to survive.
What reason do I have to give up?
Isn't that a bit too cowardly?
Jiang Chiyi also told Bai Ruofu about her situation.
Before they knew it, the two had talked all night.
Jiang Chiyi felt like she was going crazy, actually feeling a sense of kinship with Bai Ruofu.
Before leaving.
He carried Jiang Wenzhou to the bed.
I believe that Bai Ruofu, with her intelligence, already knows what to do next, even without him saying so.
I'm really going to miss Bai Ruofu.
He wanted to find an opportunity to get her away from Jiang Wenzhou.
Being with her made him feel instantly at peace.
After Jiang Chiyi left, Bai Ruofu breathed a sigh of relief.
last night.
She's deliberately trying to gain sympathy.
It could also be described as a honey trap.
She was afraid that Jiang Chiyi would kill her or harm her.
Fortunately, the plan worked.
This hurdle has been temporarily overcome.
But she can't rest.
He quickly went outside and summoned Jiang Wenzhou's servant to attend to him.
Then they returned to the courtyard of the Crown Prince's wife, Lin Jinyin.
-
Lin Jinyin also didn't get enough rest.
When Bai Ruofu arrived, she was taking her medicine.
The room was filled with a low-pressure atmosphere.
The maids dared not utter a sound.
Upon seeing Bai Ruofu return, Lin Jinyin's face contorted with rage.
Bai Ruofu quickly reported that Young Master Jiang Wenzhou had not touched her at all last night.
"Perhaps... the young master thinks this servant is too crude and unworthy to serve him..."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
"This servant failed to carry out Madam's orders, please punish me!"
Lin Jinyin felt relieved upon hearing this.
She wanted Bai Ruofu to serve Jiang Wenzhou, but she didn't want Bai Ruofu to be too favored by Jiang Wenzhou.
It must be me who elevates her, not Jiang Wenzhou.
"...Never mind, these things can't be forced."
"Granny Li, examine Afu's body and see if she has any weaknesses."
Granny Li was Lin Jinyin's wet nurse and also came to the Changning Marquis's residence.
Lin Jinyin wasn't concerned about Bai Ruofu's health at all; she clearly didn't believe Bai Ruofu's words and had Granny Li examine her.
After the inspection, Granny Li nodded to Lin Jinyin.
Lin Jinyin breathed a sigh of relief.
His gaze toward Bai Ruofu became increasingly kind.
He added, "Even so, you still spent one night in the young master's bed, so you're considered one of his people. Today, I'm making the decision to make you a concubine. From now on, you'll still live in my courtyard, but you won't have as much work to do."
Bai Ruofu feigned surprise and said, "This servant thanks Madam for her kindness!"
-
Tongfang (a type of female attendant).
They were actually even worse off than the maids in the mansion.
The monthly allowance was not much more than that of a maid.
The workload won't be much less.
She also had to serve Marquis Changning and endure the resentment from Lin Jinyin.
If you're not careful, you'll be sold out.
Bai Ruofu's understanding nature made Lin Jinyin temporarily lower her guard against her.
Bai Ruofu can also go back to rest.

The news reached Lin Jinyin's half-sister, Lin Jinrou.
