With this appearance, it was no wonder that she attracted the covetous eyes of the Zheng family’s master and the suspicion of the madam.

Under the nervous gazes of the Zhao family, Lin Xiaoyue smiled lightly.

“Not bad.”

Hearing this, the Zhao family members felt uneasy.

“How old are you?” Lin Xiaoyue asked.

Zhao Shanshan’s heart was pounding.

“Sixteen.”

She replied calmly.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“You’re even older than me by a year.” She muttered.

Well, her current body anyway.

Zhao Shanshan was stunned.

On the way here, she listened to Madam Hei talk about Lin Xioayue with her family.

She was truly the role model for women in her heart. She had supported the entire Liu family with her own strength and changed the fate of the Liu family.

Lin Xiaoyue curled her lips and looked at Zhao Shanshan. “Since you’re not willing to give yourself to the Zheng family’s master, I assume you have a backbone. I’ll give you a chance to work by my side and learn our family’s business. When the time is right, you can even be in charge.”

Zhao Shanshan was shocked and joy flashed in her eyes.

“However, from now on, you are a member of the Liu family in life and death. You are not allowed to leave the Liu family for the rest of your life.”

Zhao Shanshan was stunned.

She was a slave. If her owner did not release her, she would not be able to leave.

The Liu family had brought her whole family and entrusted them with heavy responsibilities. The probability of letting them leave was not high.

Therefore, not leaving the Liu family for the rest of her life was nothing to her. Zhao Shanshan was excited. Was the Miss going to coach her?

In the future, did she have any hope of becoming someone like Miss and Madam Hei?

Zhao Shanshan wanted to agree immediately, but she suddenly had a thought.

She forced herself to calm down.

Then, she respectfully bowed.

“Yes, but I have a condition.” Zhao Shanshan suppressed the emotions in her heart and said in a steady voice.

As soon as he said that, Zhao Fu immediately reprimanded her.

“How dare you!”

However, before Zhao Fu could finish his words, Lin Xiaoyue had already reached out and stopped him from continuing.

“Tell me.” She looked at Zhao Shanshan.

She was quite interested in Zhao Shanshan.

She dared to resist her fate despite being a slave in this era.

Although her fate was a little tragic and she had implicated her entire family, she admired her courage.

“I am willing to serve you and the Liu family for the rest of my life. But please…”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhao Shanshan and waited for her to continue.

Zhao Shanshan took a deep breath, “but please allow me to be by your side. I will not get married!”

The moment these words came out, the Zhao members were greatly shocked.

“What nonsense are you talking about! Miss…” Chen Shi immediately went forward and pulled Zhao Shanshan away.

As a servant, the best outcome was to become a concubine.

Otherwise, she would marry another servant in the residence and give birth to a child who was also a slave.

Only a few could save up enough silver to redeem themselves and return to freedom.

However, a large family like theirs who served their masters closely, it was almost impossible for all of them to regain their freedom.

She and her husband’s only hope was to serve the family well. They hoped that she would remember their loyalty and let the younger generation go.

Her daughter was too stubborn. Perhaps she would be able to live freely after she got out of slavery.

But now, she wanted to stay and not marry for the rest of her life.

Did this girl know what this meant to a woman?

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Chen Shi, and she fell silent.

A pained expression flashed across Zhao Fu’s face, but he still reprimanded his wife, “retreat!”

A hint of fear flashed across Chen Shi’s eyes. Under Zhao Shanshan’s comforting gaze, she retreated.

She saw the warning in her husband’s eyes.

They were slaves and had just arrived at the new master’s house.

If the family did not like them, the consequences were not something they could bear.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said, “heh, never getting married. That’s too serious.”

“How about this? I’ll allow you the freedom of marriage and promise not to force you to marry someone else.”

Zhao Shanshan’s eyes lit up. Then, she knelt down in front of Lin Xiaoyue.

“Thank you Miss, 1 will do my best to repay Miss!” Then, she kowtowed three times.

When the Zhao family saw this, they heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as she didn’t promise not to get married.

If Shanshan could really help the Miss support the family business in the future, no one would dare to look down on her even though she was a slave..
