Chapter 76 - 38 Mrs. Li Has a Daughter Now_2
The two little maids looked at Liu Ya with silent admiration and felt a retrospective fear for her: her courage was really extraordinary!
Mrs. Wang and Shi Fengju were both very pleased upon hearing Mrs. Li’s request. Brimming with joy, Mrs. Wang immediately summoned Liu Ya and personally acted as a witness for the induction, commanding Liu Ya to kneel, kowtow, and offer tea to Mrs. Li in front of her, calling her "Mother!" As a congratulatory gift, she gave Liu Ya two pieces of brocade, a pair of gold hairpins set with rubies, and a pair of jadeite pendants. She also ordered the kitchen to prepare a grand banquet to celebrate that evening.
"Older sister, now you also have a daughter, and it puts my mind at ease as well!" Mrs. Wang said with great emotion to Mrs. Li.
"Yes, yes! This old servant now has a daughter!" Mrs. Li’s face beams with a smile that never ceased, and she looked at Liu Ya with more and more fondness and intimacy. "Madam can rest assured, from now on, this old servant and my daughter will definitely serve the young master and Miss Wan well!"
Liu Ya hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to express her feelings, and she was also somewhat shy and embarrassed.
Mrs. Wang was delighted by this, treating Sang Wan even more affectionately.
Gu Fangzi also congratulated with a smile on her face, but her handkerchief was tightly clenched and soaked with sweat. She was furiously jealous as she believed this was Sang Wan’s scheme, a way for Sang Wan to draw in Mrs. Li as an ally, intending to use Mrs. Li against her.
What she didn’t know was that afterwards, Mrs. Li had seriously reminded Liu Ya in private to continue to behave well as before, to not harbour the wrong thoughts nor to contend with Miss Wan for superiority. It took Liu Ya a while before she remembered her current status as a maid and concubine, which scared her into a cold sweat.
