Chapter 400 Maid_2

the fifteen-year-old servant girl chimed in. Li Ming smiled wryly and shook his head, realizing that it was normal for these servant girls to own nothing, and that he was the one who had misunderstood.

Servant girls were women in ancient times who were employed by wealthy households to perform labor.

They were responsible for the majority of household chores, and affluent households often procured servant girls to alleviate the domestic duties typically performed by the women of the family. This practice of buying and selling turned servant girls into private property, giving their masters complete control, with the authority to sell or pawn them as they pleased, as well as to decide on their marriages.
