After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 266 Maid

After giving everything to Wang Erya, Lin Liuyi repeatedly told her that she must live well.

Feeling her powerful body now, Wang Erya couldn't describe the feeling. Even though her heart was beating so strongly, she felt as if her heart had already died.

Donning an invisibility cloak and breaking the chains, Wang Erya stepped out of the basement.

Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were few, and the Wang Mansion was brightly lit. Wang Erya walked towards her original bedroom.

"Tell me, how long has it been since the Princess Consort left, and our Prince is already promoting the concubine to the rank of principal wife!"

"Shh! Are you out of your mind, daring to talk about the concubine!"

"It's just the two of us. The Princess was so good to us before, how could she suddenly fall ill and pass away? It's true that good people don't live long!" the maid sighed.

So that's the title they gave themselves. Wang Erya only remembered waking up in the basement one day.

"Ah, isn't that right? The prince has always favored the concubine, and now he's going to make her the official wife!"

"Let me tell you, this concubine is the princess's own sister! I heard that the principal wife brought her into the palace because she was in poor health!"

"Oh no, how could my younger sister steal my brother-in-law?!"

"Who says otherwise? This concubine has probably been plotting this for a long time! Come on, I see the old nanny!"

Wang Erya stood there listening to the maids' conversation. Look, she used to be so blind and clueless. Even the maids could see it, but she knew nothing.

How did Sanya enter the mansion? It was when she returned to her parents' home after her marriage that her parents pulled her aside for a talk.

"Yue'er, look at your younger sister Xing'er, she's been in poor health since she was little. If she marries into another family, how worried will your parents be! Why don't you let her come to the Prince's mansion with you!"

Of course she didn't want to, but after being scolded by her parents for not caring for her own family, her younger sister stood there pitifully calling her "older sister."

She agreed on a whim, thinking that she was just a sister and it would be fine to take care of her, since the prince had said he would only love her.

By the way, when Sanya entered the manor, the prince even got angry with her.

"How could you let another woman into the house! Didn't we agree to be together for life?"

Wang Erya was both moved and guilty, so she could only slowly persuade the prince. In the end, the prince reluctantly accepted Sanya into the mansion.

Looking back now, she was such a fool, personally bringing her husband's mistress into the mansion and fulfilling their wishes.

Not to mention, later, out of guilt, she gave the prince a small bottle of spiritual spring water.

Now it seems that all of this was planned.

Wang Erya continued walking towards her room, wanting to see how much more she didn't know.

Just as she reached the door, she heard her head maid, Liu Xu, talking to her younger sister.

"Your Highness, this hairpin suits you so well!"

"Liu Xu, you still can't speak properly!" San Ya paused in her hand, which was gesturing with the hairpin, and glanced at Liu Xu.

"Oh dear, look at my mouth, I forgot! Your Highness, you are the one who is suitable to wear this hairpin! The previous princesses wore it much worse than you!" Liu Xu pretended to misspoke, slapped her mouth, and immediately corrected herself.

These words cheered Sanya up.

"Really? Your maid has a good eye. Tell me, in what way is Er Ya inferior to me?" This sister's maid is truly a loyal dog!

"Your Highness, Er Ya is naturally no match for you in any way. In terms of beauty, you are more beautiful than her; in terms of talent, you are proficient in all the arts, while she can barely read a few words; in terms of methods, you can easily make the Prince dislike her with a little trick. The Prince really dotes on you!" Liu Xu said flatteringly.

Wang Erya listened to these words calmly without a trace of expression. Willow catkins!

The head maid she had always trusted had unexpectedly switched sides to Sanya's side so early on.

Wang Erya recalled the time when she first met Liu Xu; at that time, the madam was trying to sell Liu Xu to a brothel.

Liu Xu cried out in despair that she did not want to, but it was she who took pity on Liu Xu and saved her from the madam's hands for ten taels of silver.

What did Liu Xu say back then? She kept kowtowing to herself.

She said, "I will always remember your great kindness, Miss. I will spend my whole life repaying you!"

She had just earned money then, but she spent it to buy willow catkins. She remembers that her family was somewhat unhappy about it at the time.

"Why buy such a weak little girl? She can't do any work!"

"Exactly, we might as well buy a better maid; she could at least serve us!"

It seems that my younger sister wanted to take Liu Xu away back then, but I stopped her because I felt that Liu Xu was weak, so I asked a doctor for her and told her to recover first.

Her family even scolded her for being crazy and called a doctor for a maid.

At that time, Liu Xu's eyes were full of tears. She said she wanted to stay with Miss for the rest of her life!

When did it change?

"Your Highness, when will this servant be able to become the Prince's woman?"

Sanya was quite happy to be photographed, but upon hearing this, she slammed her hairpin on the table. "Liu Xu, even if I agree to let the prince take you in, you'll still just be a concubine. You need to understand your place!"

"Yes, yes, I remember! I won't say anything!"

Wang Erya finally understood that it was all for the sake of the prince. What about all the ideas she had instilled in Liu Xu before?

She never addressed Liu Xu as a master or slave, making her call her "sister." She taught Liu Xu to read and write, to do business, and to find someone she loved to spend her life with. But after learning so much, Liu Xu sold herself for a concubine she hadn't even gotten her hands on yet.

This is truly hopeless!

Wang Erya shook her head, and then saw the prince striding towards her.

What kind of magic does this man possess that makes her sisters and her maids willing to sell themselves for him?

Of course, the prince couldn't see Wang Erya. He frowned, pushed open the door, and went inside.

"So? Did your sister hand over the things?"

Sanya quickly stood up. "Sister, she won't tell! I'll call Father and Mother over tomorrow and try to persuade her again!"

"Hurry up! The Emperor's health is failing!"

"Oh, I know, Your Highness. Please have a cup of tea. My parents will definitely be able to handle it tomorrow. Everyone knows that Wang Erya is the most filial daughter to her parents!" Sanya said proudly.

"That's good! Let my father-in-law and mother-in-law work hard! If we gain the Emperor's favor, our Prince's Mansion will rise to prominence!" The Prince's expression improved after hearing Sanya's words.

Wang Erya then understood why the prince had suddenly become so ruthless towards her; it turned out he wanted to use her to curry favor with the emperor.

Indeed, this royal residence was originally just an empty shell; otherwise, how could she, the princess consort, have been so easily married into the family?
