The Lu Family doesn't need a power hungry person like you 1

Lu Residence

While Lu Yiling took Zhu Fenfang away from the scene to prevent her from getting any more ideas, Su Liya silently contemplating the quickest escape route. Su Liya smiled sheepishly at Lu Yaozhu, she feared that Lu Yaozhu would think that she had stayed her fall just now.

She had watched enough dramas and read enough books to know that in a family as strict as the Lu family, this could get her killed. She needed to get out of here before Lu Yaozhu changed his mind. However she couldn't just leave that easily, Lu Yaozhu was a titled member of the nobility. He could prevent her from leaving if he wanted to.

Su Liya began to hear herself up for having the worse luck ever, not only did she get involved in a freak accident but she got herself trapped in a novel. She couldn't just get trapped as a young mistress or a princess, no. she had to get trapped as a maid who didn't live past fifty chapters.

Suddenly, she saw a flash of brown servant livery as Yu Tao ran to his master's side and whispered into his ear. Her heart cooled down as she saw Lu Yaozhu's expression change, she suddenly began to praise her ancestors for remembering her for once and sending Lu Yaozhu away.

Whatever Yu Tao reported must have been very serious because Lu Yaozhu's expression got dark. He immediately forgot her presence and walked away. Su Liya released the breath she held and smiled.

She ran back to the main courtyard, Zhu Fengyin and Lu Yingjie had just finished their lunch when she arrived. She cleared up the dirty dishes and sent them to the kitchen. The atmosphere in the room felt a little heated, Su Liya retreated to the hallway and gave the couple some room.

For a workaholic like Lu Yingjie, it was initially surprising to see him this unrestrained but after a month, Su Liya was used to this. Lu Yingjie stayed over for two hours before leaving the room and returning to his sturdy.

Su Liya came in when he left, Zhu Fengyin was fast asleep on the bed. Su Liya carefully picked up Zhu Fengyin's dirty clothes and laid out a fresh set. There were a few more clothes that needed to be washed, Su Liya added the new set to the pile and threw them into a basket.

Su Liya Instructed Tian Tian to keep watch, in case Zhu Fengyin woke up and needed something while she sent the dirty clothes to the laundry room. Su Liya and Tian Tian made sure to keep watch of their young mistress, to avoid giving anyone a chance to hurt her.

No one was to be trusted in this Lu mansion, madam Lu had a lot of influence on the servants and it was no secret that she does not like Zhu Fengyin. Su Liya waited until Tian Tian was set before heading out.

The laundry room was located at the other side of the mansion, very close to the servants quarters. She met a few servants as she got closer but most of them just watched her as she passed by. Su Liya ignored their strange looks and continued walking forward.

It wasn't until she got into the laundry room and passed the baskets of clothes to the maid in charge of Zhu Fengyin's clothes that she discovered what was going on. A sloppy looking maid approached Su Liya as she dropped the basket on the table.

The maid looked aggravated as she got closer, she blocked Su Liya's way out and smirked"Aiyo! who is this La? Isn't this the new Madame's big short maid ah. I didn't know that you would also come to a place like this, I thought that it would be against a high-class maid like you la"

The two other maids following her joined in "oh no, Ah Tan isn't she also a maid like us. Don't pay her any mind, she is just putting on airs".

"no no your wrong Ah San, She is nothing like us because at least we know our place. We don't try to climb into our master's bed Ha Ha Ha" the first maid which she guessed was named Ah Tan replied.

"which kind of maid haven't we are in this manor, Su Liya I advise you to give up whatever foolish dream you have. General Lu won't fall for your low class moves so don't waste your time"

Su Liya was initially confused by their sudden hostility until she heard them mention Lu Yaozhu. This wasn't her first visit to the laundry room, previously while the maids weren't friendly to her, they were never this hostile.

She suspected that a servant must have seen her with Lu Yaozhu and suspected that she was trying to seduce him. Which in this time wasn't strange, most maids who wanted to improve their station by becoming concubines, usually employed these trucks.

There was no point in arguing with people who had already made their conclusion on her so she handed the clothes to the maid, turned around and walked to the door, completely ignoring their statements.

The leader of the trio, Ah Tan got angrier when she saw that Su Liya was treating their words like air. She ran up to Su Liya and pushed her forward with force. Su Liya had already had one foot out of the door, as soon as she was pushed she fell forward.

The laundry house was constructed on a little higher ground so Su Liya rolled down and hit her head on the trunk of a tree. The trio smiled as they watched her fall, "that will teach you to behave" Ah Tan said and walked back into the laundry house.

After rolling down the ground full of broken sticks and stones, Su Liya was in great pain. The servants all around understood why this had happened and didn't lend her any hand. Su Liya held on to the tree trunk as she got up.

She dusted off the leaves and sand from her clothes and continued walking, her head held up high. Even if she was in so much pain, she refused to give them the satisfaction of seeing her hurt.
