After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 562: The twelfth month

Qian Duoduo just stood there and watched quietly without stopping anything.

She was really disappointed, especially after knowing what Layue had done.

"Call everyone here."

"Yes." Chunxia immediately carried out the order after receiving it.

Qiudong walked over lightly, carrying an exquisite wooden stool in his hand, placed it carefully on the ground, then smiled and motioned Qian Duoduo to sit down.

Qian Duoduo nodded with relief, slowly sat down, feeling the comfort of the stool to ease his inner anger.

She raised her head and looked tenderly at the two busy maids, Chunxia and Qiudong.

Recalling the scene when he first saw Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

At that time, when these two unfamiliar faces appeared in front of her, she secretly wondered whether someone had deliberately placed them next to her.

However, after careful consideration, she still firmly believed in the principle of "trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them." Since she decided to employ them, she should give them full trust and treat them sincerely.

Of course, deep down in his heart, Qian Duoduo also had some small plans.

She hoped that the maidservant Layue could grow up as soon as possible, share the responsibilities with Chunxia, ​​Qiudong and share the responsibility for the affairs of the mansion.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Layue's timid character made her unable to perform important tasks such as going out to do business.

Every time Qian Duoduo tried to take Layue out for training, she would firmly refuse. Faced with such a situation, Qian Duoduo could only sigh helplessly.

After all, everyone has their own unique personality and ideas, which are not easily changed by others. Although she has tried hard to create opportunities, whether she can seize the opportunity in the end depends on herself.

Fortunately, the two maids, Chunxia and Qiudong, did not disappoint Qian Duoduo.

Over time, they have demonstrated extraordinary talent and responsibility.

Whether it is tedious household chores or needing to deal with emergencies, they can always complete the tasks excellently and handle them in an orderly manner.

Now, Qian Duoduo trusts them more and more, and begins to entrust many important matters to them with confidence.

However, Layue's decision to keep her in Qian's house was actually a well-thought-out decision.

It turned out that he wanted her to help Aunt Liu deal with some affairs in the mansion.

After all, these masters have temporarily left the mansion for various reasons, so the complicated and trivial matters in the mansion will definitely be reduced compared to usual.

But what was unexpected was that it was precisely during this brief period of time when everything seemed calm and peaceful that the maid Layue had the opportunity to take advantage of, causing the greedy side of her nature hidden deep in her heart to gradually reveal itself.

Not long after, Chun Xia came hurriedly with six unfamiliar servants and maids, among whom was the servant whom he had met when he knocked on the door earlier.

"Did you buy all these?" Qian Duoduo looked at Layue expressionlessly and asked in a very determined tone.

"Yes... yes, Miss." Layue nodded timidly, "I have asked Aunt Liu in advance. Our house is so big. If we don't add more people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain it thoroughly."

Hearing this, Qian Duoduo just nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, but did not say much.

Seeing this, Layue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her young lady would not blame her.

However, at this moment, Qian Duoduo asked, "Have you brought their indentures?"

You know, whenever a servant is bought into a mansion, his indentures are usually handed over to the master for safekeeping.

"This..." Layue was suddenly speechless.

"Miss, they are all here." Chunxia took the indentures of those people.

The people who were bought out looked at each other, all with bewildered looks on their faces.

They knew very well that they were bought by the girl named Layue.

Moreover, they also knew that the master of this family did not live here often, so on weekdays everyone basically obeyed the orders of this La Yue girl.

It's not just because of this, more importantly, this Layue girl said that she was the master's confidant, and their indentures were in her hands, so everyone unconsciously listened to her.

At this moment, when they saw the beautiful woman with outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament sitting in front of them, they already knew in their hearts that she must be their real master.

However, what puzzled them was why their indentures were suddenly mentioned?

"Layue, why didn't you give the indenture of the person you bought back to Aunt Liu? Why didn't you report it to Miss? What on earth happened in the meantime?"

Chunxia widened her eyes and stared at the trembling Layue in front of her, her tone full of questioning and dissatisfaction.

"Miss...Miss, I...I didn't have time. Aunt Liu has been seriously ill recently and has been lying in bed. I wanted to wait until Aunt Liu recovered a little, then give the indenture contract to her and present it to you." Layue lowered her head and answered with a slightly trembling voice.

Chunxia wanted to step forward and kick Layue.

Qian Duoduo stretched out his hand to block it slightly, and then said:

"Oh? Really? Well, I can accept this explanation for now. But you have to know that this alone is not enough to dispel my doubts.

What about other things? Find a more plausible reason. Tell me if there is any other reason! If you dare to tell a lie, you know what will happen to you. "

Qian Duoduo crossed his arms across his chest, his eyes sharp as if he could see through Layue's inner thoughts.

Hearing this, Layue was so scared that she crawled forward a few steps on her knees again. She wanted to pull Qian Duoduo's clothes, but Chunxia kicked her away.

The other servants in the yard had been secretly looking up, but after this kick, they were all so scared that they quickly lowered their heads to reduce their presence.

But Layue still said with tears in her eyes:

"Miss, Miss, I really don't dare. Actually... Actually, it was because the situation was urgent. The matchmaker was very anxious and said that if you don't pay the money to buy those people, she will sell them to others.

But I didn't have enough silver on me, so I had to take back the indenture first, and then find a way to collect enough money to give it to Aunt Liu.

But later on, I was so busy raising money that I put the matter of selling my body contract on hold. Please forgive me, young lady. I will never do this again." After saying this, La Yue kept knocking her head, and the bruise on her forehead became more serious.
