Chapter 568: Joyous Color
Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips, not bothering to dwell on whether Aunt Dong was telling the truth or merely flattery. She took one look at Xiangqiao and said, "If your name is indeed Xiangqiao and it sounds decent, there is no need to change it in the future. You'll remain as Xiangqiao."
Usually, when someone buys a maid, the maid is given a new name to signify a complete break from the past.
Once bought, the maid fully belongs to her new master. Retaining her old name could be seen as a form of gratitude towards her birth parents.
"Thank you, miss," expressed Xiangqiao in a deep bow to Zhuang Qingning.
Zhuang Qingning chuckled and helped Xiangqiao up. She then followed the clerk to pay off the silver, collected the receipt of Xiangqiao's life sale, and left the broker's office.
The clerk warmly waved Zhuang Qingning out the door. "New girls might come in the next few days. If you didn't find what you looking for this time, feel free to come back for another look," he offered.
