Quick Wear: I'm Wandering in My Little World

Chapter 652: Crazy criticism of the powerful officials for robbing the beautiful maid

Wei Ziyuan lost his appetite and looked at Zhang Xintong with cold eyes.

"You will be my personal maid from now on, move next door to me, and get out!"

Zhang Xintong didn't expect to be able to leave so soon, so she stood up and followed a nanny out the door.

The nanny was someone close to Wei Ziyuan. She watched Zhang Xintong move from the residence of a low-ranking maid to the house next to Wei Ziyuan.

"Serve the eldest master carefully and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

Zhang Xintong lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing

"Yes, Mammy, I understand."

After the nanny left, Zhang Xintong went to get her own meal. There were people watching her around, so she couldn't conjure up anything to eat and could only eat her work meal. Fortunately, the food in the Duke's Mansion was good and tasted great.

At night, Zhang Xintong put on an invisibility talisman and carefully left the eldest son's house. Following the direction she remembered, she entered Aunt Zhou's courtyard.

The Duke's Mansion was no ordinary family. The old lady was the late emperor's aunt and had two sons. The eldest son was the Duke, a title without real power. The second son was in a similar situation, serving as a powerless official in the Ministry of Rites. Neither son had much ambition, and so the Duke's Mansion fell into decline.

The Duke had a wife and a concubine. His wife was the legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank official, Wei Ziyuan's mother. For the declining Duke's Mansion, the legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank official was considered worthy of the status of a royal relative.

The father of concubine Zhou was a wealthy businessman. He married her not only because she was beautiful, but also because the Duke had a lot of expenses and needed a purse.

Of course, in addition to his wife and concubine, the Duke also has many concubines and bed-warming maids. He is a typical playboy who does not work hard.

The second wife's situation is similar to that of the first wife, but she does not have a title. She is more ambitious than the Duke and holds an official position without real power in the Ministry of Rites, which can also be considered an official position.

Zhang Xintong came here mainly to steal the indenture contract. It was not that she did not want to redeem the indenture contract through formal means, but Aunt Zhou would never let her go.

Zhang Xintong quietly entered Aunt Zhou's bedroom, put some sleeping pills in it to make the person in the room sleep more deeply, and began to search.

The room was small, so it was easy to search. Zhang Xintong found the box containing the indentures, which contained more than 20 indentures, all of which belonged to the servants of Aunt Zhou.

Zhang Xintong couldn't just take her own possessions; that would be too obvious. She stored the entire box in her space. The indenture had the original owner's signature and seal. It couldn't be forged, and even if it was, it would be easily exposed, unless Zhang Xintong signed and sealed it again, which was obviously impossible. With the indenture taken away, Aunt Zhou would no longer be able to threaten her.

Before leaving, Zhang Xintong took away all the valuables in the house, including gold and silver jewelry and silver deeds. Although this small amount of money wouldn't hurt Concubine Zhou, it would still be enough to give her a hard time. Sparing her life was already a great favor; she should be thankful for having a good son.

Wei Zining is an okay person, but the original owner had to let go of his feelings for Wei Zining. In addition, the original owner did not explain anything to Aunt Zhou until his death in the previous life. The biggest reason was to protect Wei Zining, and their feelings were over.

After getting the indenture contract back, Zhang Xintong didn't stay for long and quickly returned to Wei Ziyuan's courtyard. She jumped out of the window to leave, and jumped back into the house through the window again. Fortunately, the weather was hot and the window was open, otherwise several people would be staring at her room, and it would be difficult for her to do anything.

Zhang Xintong crawled into bed and went to sleep. She had to get up early the next day and had to rest quickly. The nanny did not tell her what to do specifically, but only told her to get up early to serve the eldest master and she could only leave after the eldest master fell asleep.

Zhang Xintong woke up very early. The original owner had served Wei Zining before, so her biological clock had already been formed, so she didn't need to set the alarm deliberately. She got dressed and went to Wei Ziyuan's door. Wei Ziyuan had to go to court and got up earlier than Wei Zining. She could hear the sound of him getting dressed from inside.

Wei Ziyuan didn't call her in, so Zhang Xintong didn't go in. The original owner had never met Wei Ziyuan and didn't know his living habits, so it would be better for her to wait outside.

Two servants entered with water for washing their faces and a clean towel. Wei Ziyuan didn't call Zhang Xintong until he had finished cleaning up. Breakfast was brought in by four maids from the kitchen; no one was there to wait on him. He finished his meal and then went to court, not saying a word to Zhang Xintong the entire time.

Zhang Xintong stood there the whole morning and didn't have to clean the room. The nanny who had asked her and another nanny to clean Wei Ziyuan's room yesterday didn't let her do anything.

"Mammy, what can I do?"

The nanny glanced at Zhang Xintong. She definitely couldn't be allowed to touch the eldest master's room. The nanny was not sure why the eldest master kept her.

"The eldest master is at home. You should do whatever he tells you to do. If he doesn't tell you otherwise, just follow him. There's nothing for you to do now. You can go back to your room and rest."

Zhang Xintong......

It’s so nice not to have to work!

"Mammy, can I go shopping?"

Wei Ziyuan instructed Zhang Xintong to do whatever she wanted, and the nanny nodded in agreement.

"Okay, come back before the eldest master returns home."

"Okay, thank you, Mammy."

Zhang Xintong had breakfast and left the house. The original owner was sold to the Duke's Mansion when she was very young, and her family had never visited her since then. In her vague memory, there were parents, an older brother and a younger brother at home.

Although no one came to look for the original owner, she did not save her monthly salary. The original owner was kind-hearted and gave most of her monthly salary to beggar children who had no food to eat. Although the imperial city was under the feet of the emperor, there were still many beggar children who were left unattended.

Zhang Xintong bought a lot of cakes at the stall, changed the silver in her hand into copper coins, and took the things to where the beggar child was.

The children were very happy to see her.

"Sister, you are here."

The children's clothes were patched, but the weather was hot, so they weren't worried about being cold. Zhang Xintong handed them the pancakes and divided the copper coins among them.

"Eat! I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you next month."

There is no place to sit here. Every time they deliver the things, they leave. The original owner does not have much ability, and he feels uncomfortable after seeing it for a long time.

The children waved goodbye to Zhang Xintong. After saying goodbye to them, Zhang Xintong returned to the street, bought some cakes and returned to the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as Zhang Xintong came back, she heard that Aunt Zhou was very angry and all the valuables in the bedroom were lost. They were now investigating.

Although Aunt Zhou was unhappy, Zhang Xintong was very happy. Since she didn't have to work, she went back to her bedroom, ate some cakes and took a nap.

After Wei Ziyuan returned home in the evening, the person who was watching Zhang Xintong reported her whereabouts for the whole day. Wei Ziyuan didn't know that the original owner helped the beggar child. She was just a maid beside Wei Zining before, and no one kept a special eye on her.

Zhang Xintong received the same treatment at night as in the morning. She didn't have to do anything. She just followed Wei Ziyuan not far away, standing there like a stick.

Although she didn't have to do anything, she had to get up early. After Wei Ziyuan went to bed, Zhang Xintong returned to her room and went to bed.
