The Fierce Illegitimate Miss

Chapter 125

The person in front was wearing a plain blue cloth gown. The hair on her head was combed together, and it was simply pulled up with a plain silver hairpin. Her face was lightly covered with powder, but it looked like she was a little thinner, and still a little haggard. This person turned out to be the Palace Maid Liu who had been invited by Mu Shi from the palace for the ladies of the Yu house.

Since the last time that she insisted on teaching Yu Ling Long the rules, when she was unceremoniously beaten out by Yu Ling Long, Yu Ling Long had never seen this Palace Maid Liu again. Unexpectedly, there was no one in the Yu house now, and Palace Maid Liu was still here. She naturally felt a little surprised.

Hearing Yu Ling Long's words, Palace Maid Liu showed a bit of embarrassment on her face, but she tried to hide it and said in a flat tone: "Please give me a few more days of grace, and when I find a place to stay, I will leave as soon as possible." Seeing the unconcealed sadness of Palace Maid Liu, Yu Ling Long vaguely guessed the reason, she pondered for a moment, and said, "You come with me."

She happened to have some questions in her mind, maybe Lady Liu could tell her the answers. This time it was Lady Liu's turn to feel suspicious. She followed Yu Ling Long confusedly, but she couldn't figure out what Yu Ling Long would do with her. Yu Ling Long took the Palace Maid Liu back to Pinlan Garden and told Ling'er to make a cup of hot tea for her, and said, "Let's talk about it, what's the matter?" Lady Liu was taken aback. She didn't expect Yu Ling Long to care about her condition. After thinking about it, she told her.

It turned out that once the official maids in the palace reach a certain age, they have to be released from the palace. Usually, the official maids that are released are not young. It is not easy to find a suitable family to marry, let alone after spending a long time in the palace, ordinary people would not appreciate it. Therefore, except for some people who returned to their hometowns, most of the official maids would choose to stay in the capital and find a large family to work for. Because the official maids in the palace are very knowledgeable and have extraordinary manners and conversations, many large families are willing to hire them at a high price to keep them in the mansion. They can teach the ladies of the family etiquette and rules, and they can also help the mistress to train the servants. It is indeed a rare talent.

It's just that this year, the number of official maids of the right age in the palace was a lot more than in previous years, and many of them have found suitable people, but Palace Maid Liu had not settled. Therefore, Palace Maid Liu asked for her mistress's grace and came out of the palace ahead of time. She wanted to find a good family for herself, but because of her upright temper, her position in the palace was not too high, and her tongue was not good enough, so she stayed in the Yu Mansion, which was not considered a prominent family.

Unexpectedly, within a few months of work, the Yu house would become like this. Palace Maid Liu wanted to find another home, but she could not find it on such short notice. Seeing that she has reached the age of being released from the palace, she can't stay for many days. Even if she goes back to the palace now, she still has no idea where she will go in the future. Lady Liu was worried, but there was no other way she could stay in the Yu house for the time being. Because she was not a servant of the Yu house, the steward dismissed all the servants who were not needed the day before, but she didn't know how to dispose of Lady Liu. Anyway, there were many vacant yards in the Yu house, so the steward let Lady Liu live here temporarily to make plans until she found a place to stay.

Palace Maid Liu's eyes drooped slightly, and she said these things in a flat tone as if she was talking about irrelevant people, but Yu Ling Long could perceive a trace of loneliness in her expression from the calm she tried to conceal.

Yes, the Palace Maid Liu was quite old, but she was still alone. She had lived in the palace for most of her life. It was not easy to let it go, and it was not easy to find support. After listening to Lady Liu's words, Yu Ling Long pondered for a while, and said, "Would you like to follow me to the Royal Palace of Xu?"
