Chapter 12: What is the Purpose (1/2)

Soft smoked gauze and cloud brocade? Despite the fact that Bai Luochu was used to such luxury in her previous life, she was still speechless nevertheless. If even a personal servant’s attire was made with soft smoked gauze and cloud brocade, this Lord definitely had too much money and nowhere to spend it.

When the servant girl saw that Bai Luochu didn’t have a change in expression after hearing ‘soft smoked gauze’ and ‘cloud brocade’, she was rather surprised and couldn’t help but feel a little bothered.

Bai Luochu didn’t reveal any trace of greed or flattery when she heard that her attire was made of soft smoked gauze and cloud brocade, to make matters worse, she didn’t even blink. To the servant girl, it seemed as though their Lord really brought back an extraordinary lady. It was no wonder her Lord had personally appointed her to take care of this newcomer.

When she recalled that she hadn’t introduced herself to Bai Luochu, she smiled and said, “This servant is called Zi Su. My Lord took into consideration that Young Lady had just arrived here and would face many problems trying to settle down and sent me to take care of you.”

After speaking, she even bowed towards Bai Luochu.

There was even a servant to serve her?

Bai Luochu was startled as she looked at the servant girl’s attire. Wasn’t it also made from cloud brocade?

Zi Su was actually here to be her servant girl?

This development of this plot was getting more and more interesting. Bai Luochu was getting more and more curious about this “Lord”.

Mere curiosity wouldn’t let Bai Luochu forget her initial objective. Turning her body, she addressed the servant girl, “Then, Zi Su… You mentioned to me that I can move around the residence as I please. However, I don’t know the way and it won’t be good if I were to wander around as I might bump into some distinguished guest or accidentally venture into some forbidden places.”

Bai Luochu wanted to have a better understanding of this residence but didn’t make her intentions too obvious. Looking at how shrewd this little servant girl was, she should be able to understand Bai Luochu’s hidden intentions.

Zi Su didn’t disappoint Bai Luochu as she nodded and replied, “In order to save time, will Young Lady please follow this servant? Do not move around randomly or you might lose your way.” Finishing her statement, she bowed and turned to walk outside the door.

The residence might be huge, but everything was in order.

After exiting her courtyard, they walked through a reception pavilion and long hallway before arriving at a mansion on the other side. The northwest corner was where the servant girls who were tasked to do odd jobs and chores were housed. It was also the place where they worked.

In the southwest was the kitchen and they were responsible for the meals in the residence. The accounts room was located in the eastern residence, and it was where the members of the residence would draw their salary.

“If Young Lady isn’t feeling well, you can send someone to call for the physician. If you need herbs for cultivation, you can come over and take them. If your clothes are dirty, you can send a chores servant to wash them. Clothes and meals will be sent to the Young Lady’s residence according to the schedule. As for money, Young Lady’s monthly salary is sufficient and there is no need to worry.”

Zi Su explained all the important information in one go. Bai Luochu didn’t have anything additional to ask and simply followed Zi Su back to her room.
