Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 38 Part 2: Bai Xue

In Bai Xue’s family record book, it was written that she came from the not-so-distant Zao Hua Village. She had two elder brothers and one younger sister in the family. Her parents were both farmers and had 1.3 mu 1 of land. Bai Xue had been following his parents in farming since young, that’s how she had become strong and dark. But the family had a lot of people. After her elder brothers got married and had children, their life became more difficult. In order to get more money to feed their mouths, Bai Xue went to Yanjing to be a servant girl.

Such a servant like Bai Xue, the wealthy families in Yanjing didn’t put her in the eye and disliked her for not being good looking. The elder female servant from the Jiang residence also brought her due to her strength soshe could do heavy manual labor. Who knew, Jiang Li picked Bai Xue as a first-class servant girl against reason. Who knew if it was because Bai Xue’s luck was good.

Although Baixue was new to being a servant girl, she was aware that a first-class servant girl’s and a sweeping servant girl’s monthly silvers were completely different. She was grateful towards Jiang Li who had selected her, however, she had also heard the many rumors surrounding Jiang second miss before her arrival. At first, she thought the person to be a monster, unexpectedly she was so amiable and cared about her hometown. She secretly thought, sure enough, rumors are not to be trusted. It was all those people talking rubbish and distorting the truth.

Bai Xue said: “Which servant is Miss familiar with and what’s her surname? Perhaps this servant knows.”

“She’s called Haitang.” Jiang Li smiled and said: “That servant girl should now be about 20 years old, there are two younger brothers in her home. The family resides beside a sago shop in Zao Hua village. Haitang is thin and tall, clean and white, she is extremely good looking.”

Tong’er listened by the side in confusion. The servant girl that Jiang Li was familiar with, she should have recognized her too. But she had never heard of a servant girl called Haitang ah? Did she come from Jiang residence too?

Bai Xue thought for a long time then scratched her head and smilingly said: “There’s no collection in this servant’s memory of this person. Saying that Zao Hua village is big, it isn’t that big. Saying that it’s small, it’s not that small. However, if Miss wants to ask around for news of that Haitang girl, this servant will write a letter to ask father and mother back home.”

Tong’er couldn’t help asking: “You can write?”

“I learned a little sneakily from the master in the village private school.” Bai Xue laughed straightforwardly.

Tong’er was deeply impressed with Baixue. It should be known that there weren’t manys servant girls in the Jiang residence that knew how to write. Her family’s Miss was indeed a hero with an insight. This Bai Xue’s appearance wasn’t astonishing, but she had real ability, it was not wrong for her to be a first-class servant girl.

It was unexpected for Jiang Li that Bai Xue knew how to write. She immediately smiled and said to Baixue: “Then thank you so much.”

The reason why she picked Baixue as her close-fitting servant girl, apart from her honest nature, the more important thing was precisely because Bai Xue came from Zao Hua village.

When she was Xue Fang Fei, she had a close-fitting servant girl called Haitang who also came from Zao Hua village. Out of Xue Fang Fei’s four personal maids, two were beaten to death, and the remaining two people were let off from the residence furtively by Xue Fang Fei. One was called Du Juan, the other Haitang. There was nobody in Du Juan’s house, she didn’t know where she could be afterwards. However, Xue Fang Fei knew Haitang’s whereabouts, her hometown was at Zao Hua village and she still had two younger brothers.

Shen Yurong didn’t know Haitang’s history, thus he was unlikely to check Zao Hua village. Moreover, Haitang was clever, cautious and quick-witted. She had thought back and forth and felt that Haitang would most likely return to Zao Hua village.

If she wanted to expose Shen Yurong and Princess Yong Ning’s ugly faces, it was necessary to find a witness from that time. A pity that she was now unable to approach the Shen family. Even if she could get close to them, the people in the Shen family would probably not help her to testify.

But Haitang was not the same, Haitang had grown up together with her, they were close like sisters. If she wanted Haitang to come forward and act as a witness in Xue Fang Fei’s incident, Haitang would definitely agree.

And so all of these, Jiang Li looked at the simple and honest girl in front of her, she needed to rely on Bai Xue who came from Zao Hua Village.
