Chapter 1237 - Chapter 1237 1237 Qingyue's confidant

Chapter 1237: 1237 Qingyue’s confidant Chapter 1237: 1237 Qingyue’s confidant “Lady Li is too kind; life has always come at us this way.”

The more Lady Li looked at Su Qingyue, the more she found her beautiful.

“Qingyue, to think you’ve become this gorgeous.

Remember how the Zhu Family in Wushan Village sold you for just sixteen taels of silver?

You’re so good at earning money now, I bet the Zhu Family regrets it deeply.

I’ve heard about the murder case involving the Zhu Family’s second son, Zhu Nengwen, who even tried to frame you for it.

The Zhu Family is truly heartless.

I’ve heard the Old Lady of Zhu family isn’t easy to deal with either.

Now that her second son has killed the eldest, the Zhu Family’s lineage is cut off.

Serves them right!”

But Su Qingyue smiled, “Lady Li, let’s not talk about that.

I’m here this time to buy some clothes for my Maid.”

Lady Li’s enthusiasm did not wane.

“Qingyue, I didn’t realize you were so kind to personally bring your Maid to buy clothes.”

“Yinzhu is timid and has always lived in the remote countryside.

So I brought her along this time,” Su Qingyue glanced at Yinzhu, who dared not enter the shop.

Lady Li immediately went over and pulled her inside.

“Yinzhu, girl, you have quite a decent appearance.

Come, let me measure your size….”

“This…” Yinzhu’s face turned red with embarrassment, unaccustomed to being touched.

Su Qingyue said, “It’s okay, we need to take your measurements.”

She then fell silent.

Su Qingyue looked at a few ready-made outfits hanging in the shop, and pointed at the clothes on the wall.

“Those three styles, let’s buy three sets each, both the inner and outer layers.”

Yinzhu quickly waved her hands, “Young Lady, I couldn’t, those clothes are too good in quality, too precious…”

“They’re just one tael of silver each set, and for winter clothes, that’s not expensive,” Lady Li chimed in quickly.

“The materials are indeed good.

For a servant, it’s not necessary to wear something that fine.”

“It’s fine, let’s take those three sets.

Are there any ready-made ones?”

“As it happens, Yinzhu girl’s figure is just average, the standard size; she can fit in all three sets.

As for the bellyband and underpants, we have her size as well…

Would you like to pick some more?”

Su Qingyue said, “For personal clothing, let Zhu’er pick for herself.”

“This servant…

anything’s fine.”

Lady Li took out a small box of neatly folded personal clothing, and Yinzhu kept saying they were too expensive, asking for cheaper ones.

Su Qingyue casually pointed out a few options.

“Zhu’er, go pick an outfit to change into.”

“Yes.” Yinzhu went into the inner hall and came out in a newly purchased green outfit with her hair done up in double buns.

She looked the part of a Maid from a wealthy family.

“Not bad,” Su Qingyue nodded.

Lady Li had already packed the other two sets of new clothes along with the undergarments, handing them to Yinzhu.

Su Qingyue paid for the clothes, and seeing Yinzhu holding her old outfit, she suggested, “Throw away the old clothes.” She couldn’t remember how many years they had been worn.

Yinzhu was somewhat reluctant but knew that as a wealthy Young Lady, Su Qingyue couldn’t be seen as shabby, so she too left behind the old outfit.

After leaving Lady Li’s shop, Su Qingyue handed Yinzhu a packet of silver.

“From now on, you will buy the food for the workers.”

“Yes.”

“Your monthly salary will be one tael of silver.”

Yinzhu repeatedly waved her hands, “This servant dares not accept a salary, Young Lady.

Your great kindness is already beyond my ability to repay…”

“You serve me, so it’s only right that I give you a salary.”

“But this servant has heard that a waiter running errands earns only 300 cents a month.

You are giving me too much…”

“There will be a lot of work for you to do later,” Su Qingyue said.

“You are not just my Maid; as my business grows, you will become my confidant.

Let’s settle your salary at that.”
