Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Chapter 297: _1

First, they orchestrated a rescue, then came to propose marriage. It all seemed well-planned.

But what did Li Mao intend to do with Chun Xing?

Seeing Bai Qingyan deep in thought, Chun Xing kowtowed again. "The sixth young master of the Chief of Staff’s mansion likes this maid, and this maid likes the sixth young master too! There is absolutely no conspiracy here. I beg you, young lady, please grant my wish! If you allow it, Chun Xing will repay you even if it means working herself to the bone!"

Snapping back to reality, she looked down at Chun Xing, who was kneeling and bowing on the ground. She hadn’t expected Chun Xing to say... there is absolutely no conspiracy.

She had underestimated Chun Xing. Chun Xing was much smarter than she had thought and clearly understood the situation.

Since Chun Xing understood, so be it... Everyone chooses their own path and must bear the consequences. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

She added, "Do you know that you have signed the indenture, so your parents have no right to arrange a marriage for you?"

Chun Xing’s body trembled as she looked nervously at the young lady. "Young... young lady!"

"You are my personal maid, not an ordinary one. Either I find a suitable match for you within the Bai Mansion, or if you offend the master, you’ll be sold off. Keeping you alive would be an act of mercy."

"Young lady?" Chun Xing couldn’t grasp her meaning.

"Since you wish to become another family’s concubine, to avoid any future ugliness between us, I can only sell you off with an excuse. At that time, your mother can buy you back, and your marriage will have nothing to do with the Bai Mansion."

Bai Qingyan looked calmly yet indifferently into Chun Xing’s eyes.

Chun Xing’s eyes widened in shock. But if that happened... she would no longer be the Princess of Zhen’s personal maid! And upon marriage... the young lady certainly wouldn’t prepare a dowry for her!

"Since you say the Chief of Staff’s mansion chose you as a concubine for their sixth young master purely because they like you, not because you’re my personal maid, and without any conspiracy, then even if you no longer hold that status, they will still want you."

"But, young lady, if I am sold... I will be tainted!" Chun Xing quickly crawled two steps forward. "I beg you, young lady, have mercy!"

Bai Qingyan looked at Chun Xing, who had always appeared honest and unremarkably clever. She finally realized... Chun Xing understood everything. She was playing dumb.

"Chun Xing, you are a bonded maid. It is inappropriate for your parents to arrange a marriage for you! You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You want to climb high yet use your status as the Princess of Zhen’s personal maid to elevate yourself. You can’t have all the good things in the world! Although I have always treated my maids well, I can’t let a maid overstep her bounds. Do you understand?"

Chun Xing trembled, her throat tight, suddenly thinking of Chun Yan.

Talking about relationships, the bond between the young lady and Chun Yan was deeper than hers. Yet, when Chun Yan made a mistake... the young lady punished her until she died in prison. Therefore, Chun Xing had always been cautious and never did anything to displease the young lady.

This step over the line didn’t harm the young lady; it was just an attempt to retain some dignity for having served the young lady as her maid. Was that too much to ask?

Seeing Chun Xing remain silent, Bai Qingyan called out, "Nanny Tong..."

Chun Xing’s body trembled, and she lowered her head even more.
