Chapter 738: The Plump Girl Ruyi
The Plump Girl had been sold to the manor as a maid at a young age. When they were captured, the master only paid the ransom for the young miss, abandoning her here. She had written to her parents, but no one ever came for her.
She couldn't return to the manor, and dreaded going back to her parents even more. Having served in the manor for so long, she knew exactly how returning home would end: she would simply be sent right back to Lin Manor, or sold off to yet another household.
The Plump Girl looked at Chen Changsheng. "Can I follow you?"
Chen Changsheng glanced at her. "If you follow This Chen, you won't get enough to eat."
The Plump Girl paused and lowered her head. "Where are you going?"
She likely thought Chen Changsheng considered her a burden.
"South. As for exactly where, This Chen can't say."
"Can I just follow you for part of the way? Just a short stretch. I won't follow you for too long, I just..."
Her voice trailed off, her head dropping lower. "I just need to find a place to settle down."
