C18 Decriminalization

On this day, Qingliu was pointing out a few pots of tea flowers with new flower buds. "Perhaps these flowers are also spiritual. Seeing us ordinary and ordinary flowers so dispirited, I have only opened two or three pots after so long. Miss has only been back for a few days, and these flowers can't wait to open up when they see the girl's talent."

Faang Xinsu glared at her. "Sister Qingliu, why are you like Coral and the others? You're so glib with your words, you're not like you."

Coral, who was at the side, disagreed. "Miss, you've always praised this servant for her glib tongue. How come you've become so oily now? This servant will be sad."

Jin Ying, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but silently criticize, "Le An, County Prefect is not like a lady from a noble family." Even when she was in front of the empress dowager, she wasn't so mischievous. If the empress dowager saw this side of her, would she still love her so much?

After a while, Feixiu came over with a smile, "Good little sister, your little brother has become an Elementary Scholar, and is here with your mother to pick you up."

Qingliu still couldn't believe it, but it was Faang Xinsu who pushed her away with a smile. "I'm so happy. This is a joyous occasion. Quickly go see your family."

Qingliu came to the side hall of the Yuehua Courtyard nervously. Originally, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, but after seeing the Lindu Family and Lin Anran, before she could even open her mouth, she was pulled into the arms of the Lindu Family and wailed bitterly. Qingliu couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears.

Although it was a pity that one of the stewards she had nurtured was gone just like that, Mrs. Shen could see Lin Anran talking about things and getting an Elementary Scholar position at such a young age. In that case, it would be better to just sell them out. On the other hand, Qingliu had followed her for so many years. From a girl with a bun growing up to a maid who could stand alone like this, the relationship between master and servant was quite deep. Now that she had a good place to go, Mrs. Shen could only be happy about it.

Therefore, Mrs. Shen had already promised Lin Anran that she would not accept any money for the ransom. He just wanted them to return first and pick them up again in a few days. Even if Qingliu wanted to leave, she couldn't afford to be in such a rush. She needed to pack her things and bid farewell to everyone. More importantly, he still had to go to the yamen to change his household register into that of a commoner.

Mrs. Shen sent a housekeeper from the outer court to take care of it personally, and the next day she returned with Qingliu's new household register. From today onwards, Qingliu would no longer be a servant of Shen Family. She was the young lady of the Tong Prefecture's Lin Family, Lin Liu-Li. However, the people from Shen Family were still calling her that when they were used to calling her Qingliu.

Since they were no longer maidservants, they no longer needed to wait upon others. Mrs. Shen sent another second class maid, Redbud, to take Youuran's place.

Redbud was originally a second class maidservant. After coming over, she was a first class maidservant just like the first class maidservant who was by Faang Xinsu's side. Youuran carefully explained the matters at hand to the two of them.

Today, while Youuran and Faang Xinsu were counting Faang Xinsu's belongings, Mrs. Shen called Youuran over. Not only did Mrs. Shen allow her to take away all the rewards she had gotten all these years, she also gave fifty acres of land at the edge of White Mountain Town, a two hundred silver note, and some cloth jewelry.

Youuran didn't expect Mrs. Shen to give her so many things, so she refused. Mrs. Shen said, "You don't have to refuse anymore. Of course, if you didn't save Brother Cheng, I don't know what would happen now. When you were young, I didn't give you anything good. You've grown up next to me all these years, like half a daughter to me. Now that your little brother has become a genius and is willing to come and pick you up, it can be said that your suffering has come easily. "If you come back to find me after suffering from any grievances, I'll be your judge." Then he said in a euphemistic tone, "Even the ladies of an ordinary country gentleman's family can't compare to the maids of our house when they leave. It's better if you have something of your own. Even if you have to help the family, you must at least give yourself a way out. "

If she didn't treat him sincerely, Mrs. Shen wouldn't have said such words. Youuran agreed with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Shen took out another box and said, "I heard that you are leaving and my sister-in-law sent someone to deliver a box of things to you. You can keep it as well."

Because she was still living in Tritchard, she then called two women to help her deliver the goods to Tritchard House.

After returning, Youuran opened the brocade box that Lady Han had given her and found two fifty-tael banknotes, two pairs of solid gold bracelets, and four pairs of gold and silver rings inside. Although the bracelets couldn't be considered to be exquisite, they each had at least four layers, and the two pairs added together were quite expensive.

When the other masters heard of this, they were all happy for her and gave her gifts.

Miss Shen Tian sent her maidservant Qing Hee with some gold and silver jewelry and some cloth. When Qing Hee arrived at Youuran's room, she saw that the others had all left. He then took out a hairpin from his jewelry. Youuran saw that the carving technique of the hairpin was not outstanding. Although the hairpin had a piece of jade embedded on it, it still looked somewhat clumsy overall. Miss Shen Family had always been well-dressed, and such a hairpin did not seem like something Miss would use. Even a third tier servant with slightly better Shen Family would not necessarily like this kind of hairpin. She could not help but feel that it was a little strange.

Qing Hee smiled at her and twisted the jade pendant on the base of the hairpin, causing the hairpin to fall off. The hairpin was hollow and contained a banknote worth fifty taels of silver.

Qing Hee said, "Miss said that once you're gone, I don't know when I'll see you again. You can keep this thing properly …" Think. Come back and walk around when you're free. If you have anything to trouble you, just come back and speak. Don't go away and you won't come back. "

Youuran smiled and nodded. "I'm just afraid that in the future, you guys will think that I've come back too many times. Please help me thank the young lady." She was truly worthy of being a mother and daughter. All of her thoughts were the same, afraid that she would suffer a loss when she returned. Although Mrs. Shen and the rest thought too much, Youuran knew they were thinking for her sake. After all, Youuran hadn't seen her family for so many years, so everyone would have some suspicions.

However, even if they had ulterior motives, Youuran would never let go of such an opportunity to become a commoner, an honorable and honorable person. In the end, she was still the soul of a modern man. Regarding life and death, she was still brooding over her status as a servant who did not care about her own life.

Youuran raised her head to look at the sky. The tall walls of the Shen Mansion obstructed her line of sight, so she could only see the small square of sky above the courtyard. But outside, there was an even wider sky, and the freedom she longed for.
