PREGNANT BEFORE THE ROYAL MARRIAGE
Chapter 912 - Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Henceforth known as Biyan_1Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Henceforth known as Biyan_1
Jiang Ning pondered, decided he had no choice but to trouble his old father.
Wenxi held her waist ID tag and took Shuihua out of the palace and sent her to the Jiang Family.
Shuihua was extremely terrified when she met the Senior Grand Secretary Jiang Ruobai.
“I am a man who dislikes servants who betray their masters. However, since the Princess Consort has sent you here, I will keep you,” Jiang Ruobai said, “You shall serve Aunt Liu from here on. As long as you behave properly, I can assure you that no one will jeopardize your brother’s future. If he has the capability, he will naturally have his day.”
Jiang Ruobai was the head of the civil service and had been the primary examiner for the imperial examinations for a few years. He still holds a certain level of influence in this area.
Once Shuihua’s brother prepares for the imperial examination, with Jiang Ruobai’s guarantee, she will naturally have no worries.
The most important thing is that even if the Empress wanted to murder someone to silence them, she wouldn’t be capable of doing so while they’re at the Jiang Family.
Shuihua prostrated herself on the ground repeatedly, tearful with gratitude: “Thank you, Prime Minister. I shall dedicate my life to serving the Prime Minister’s mansion and repay the kindness of the Princess Consort and the Prime Minister.”
“Go on.”
Jiang Ruobai waved his hand and ordered the steward to take her out.
The steward took her to Aunt Liu’s courtyard and conveyed the Old Master’s words.
Aunt Liu was observant. The servant girl was from the palace. Despite her mistake, the Princess Consort chose not to punish her, and sent her to the Prime Minister’s Mansion instead, clearly intending to protect her.
The Princess Consort was intelligent – if she decided to protect a slave who made a mistake, she must need them in the future.

After mulling it over, Aunt Liu had decided how she would treat this palace maid in the future.
With a warm smile, she said, “Shuihua, since you’ve come to our home, it’s better not to use your old name. If you don’t mind, let me give you a new name, a fresh start.”
Shuihua knelt down and said, “I didn’t really have a name; Shuihua was bestowed upon me by the master after I entered the palace. Now I belong to the Jiang family. I am grateful if the master is willing to grant me a new name.”
In this era, being poor was worthless, especially for girls, most of whom didn’t even have a decent name, and were randomly called things like Second Missy or Third Missy. After marriage, they are identified by their husband’s surname and mother’s surname, living in the mundane world with ordinary, nondescript names like Mrs. Li Wang, Mrs. Zhang Wu.
If their lives were bought and sold, whatever name their owner whimsically bestowed upon them would be their new life’s code.
The mere hope of living with dignity was already extravagant; a name was even more so.
For them, it didn’t matter.
Aunt Liu thought for a moment and smiled, “I see the weather is lovely today, and the mandarin ducks in the lake outside are very interesting. How about you are called Bixi?”
“Thank you for the name, madam.”
“From now on, you will stay here in my courtyard, doing some needlework and taking care of things. There’s only one rule, you must not leave casually and accidentally offend the Madam or the Master. I won’t tolerate that.”
“I will remember all of it.”
“Go ahead.” Aunt Liu then called her personal maid to bring Bixi to her new place.
This palace maid was indeed a hot potato – neither too strict nor too lenient treatment was suitable.
Jiang Ruobai dumped her here, but didn’t give the Madam the task. He had his considerations.
In Jiang Ruobai’s mind, his wife Lin Zizi was a fairy untouched by the world. He wouldn’t let her do anything strenuous, nor did he want an outsider to disturb her.
