The news of Zi Su becoming first-class maidservant spread throughout the manor.

Ban Xia entered the room with a smile and said to Zi Su, who was unpacking her luggage, “Congratulations, Miss. You’ve just entered the manor and you’ve already become a first-class maidservant.”

The first-class maidservant of the Young Master Manor was much more presentable than other servants.

Zi Su, on the other hand, was not happy at all. She dusted her clothes listlessly and said, “What’s there to congratulate me about? A first-class maidservant is also a maidservant and a servant. Also, don’t call me Miss anymore. I’m a maidservant who serves others like you now.”

Ban Xia understood that her young miss was bothered by being reduced to a criminal slave. She did not know how to comfort her young miss and did not dare to make a sound. The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

Zi Su changed the topic. “It’s almost lunch.”

Ban Xia said, “I’ll go get my food…”

“I’ll go!” Fu Ling, who had just reached the door, heard that there was food and left.

The other rooms had naturally heard about Zi Su becoming a first-class maidservant. Becoming a first-class maidservant not only meant that her status in the Young Master Manor had increased, but her monthly salary had also doubled. Tao’er and Li’er were young and did not know how to be jealous. They did not think that there was anything wrong with Zi Su, who had entered the manor after them, riding on their heads. However, in terms of liking, they liked Su Mu more.

Su Mu did not say much, but she was down-to-earth and diligent. The two of them went out to wash up this morning. When they returned, the room had already been cleaned by Su Mu. She had also helped them bring back breakfast.

“I was talking to Zi Su today, but she ignored me,” Tao’er sat at the wooden table and whispered to Li’er, who was sewing her pants.

Li’er’s pants were torn. She did not take them off, she was sewing when she wore the pants. After sewing for a long time, she felt uncomfortable. Su Mu walked over. “Let me do it.”

Tao’er’s words also entered Su Mu’s ears. Su Mu did not reply and focused on sewing Li’er’s pants.

Li’er said to Tao’er, “Lower your voice. Be careful that she hears you.”

Tao’er was so frightened that she looked at the door. The door was closed, and she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, she could not help but be curious, so she asked Su Mu in front of her, “Sister Su, you entered the manor with her. Was she also indifferent in the Silk Music Hall in the past?”

Su Mu paused and bit off the thread. “I don’t have much contact with her. She and Ban Xia are in the same room. Fu Ling and I both live in other rooms.”

In other words, she did not know Zi Su well.

Li’er said, “Didn’t Young Madam say so yesterday? She used to be the daughter of an official. It’s normal for her to have a bad temper.”

After the pants were sewn, Su Mu returned the embroidery needle to Li’er. “I’ll go get my food.”

Looking at Su Mu’s back as she walked out of the room, Tao’er smiled and held Li’er’s arm. “Sister Su is so good!”

The food in the Young Master Manor was also good. Today, there were three dishes and one soup: braised pork ribs, pork belly stewed with cabbage, stir-fried chives, and green bean soup. Tao’er happily picked up a piece of pork ribs for Li’er and another piece for Su Mu.

As the three of them ate, there was a loud thud of a heavy object falling to the ground from the next room, followed by Ban Xia’s scream. “Ah—Fu Ling!”

Fu Ling had an accident. She went to the main kitchen to get her food. Just as she placed the food box on the table, she fell to the ground with a pale face.

Their room was not far from Yu Wan’s main room. Yu Wan was eating with four men at home. She had just peeled a mantis shrimp for Xiaobao and had yet to feed him when she heard a commotion on the other end.

Xiaobao opened his mouth and went to eat the shrimp in Yu Wan’s hand.

“What happened?” Yu Wan paused.

Xiaobao couldn’t reach it for a long time. Yu Wan was distracted and fed the shrimp to Dabao again.

Dabao, who had been fed three times in a row: “…”

Xiaobao’s eyes were filled with tears.

Yu Wan went to Ban Xia and the others’ room, but when she arrived, Fu Ling was already fine. Fu Ling sat at the table and ate her food in big mouthfuls. The room was filled with surrounding maidservants. Everyone bowed to Yu Wan.

“What happened just now?” Yu Wan looked at Ban Xia. She recognized Ban Xia’s voice.

Banxia lowered her head and said, “Fu Ling fainted and I was frightened… Then Su Mu came. Su Mu said that Fu Ling was hungry and gave her food to her.”

Yu Wan took Fu Ling’s pulse. Her pulse was indeed fine. However, the fact that she could faint from hunger meant that this girl had not starved for one or two meals. She had probably not eaten her fill at the Silk Music Hall. Last night, she had just entered the manor and helped to put out fire, so her stamina was exhausted.

Fu Ling stammered, “I… I won’t eat too much…”

In the past, her masters would fire her because she could eat a lot. The Young Master Manor was very good, and she did not want to be fired again.
