4. The thief

When Alex heard that, she responded with a hint of arrogance and reached out to fix the bun. After she had finished, she sighed with contentment and said, "Okay, it's not too soon! You guys go to sleep, and we will pretend as though nothing has occurred!"

After that, she confronted me and said in an arrogant tone, "I forgot one thing. In the morning of tomorrow, I will be required to go and serve Mrs. Luna when she wakes up. The older maids will be responsible for going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, while the new maids like you will be in charge of carrying water, doing laundry, and cleaning the house. If anything is not completed in the appropriate manner before morning, you will earn Mrs. Luna's displeasure, which means you will be kicked out of this mansion!"

The old maids followed Alex, laughing and returning to their beds. With only five new people left, we were still standing there bewildered. I see that the other two also show their shyness, not wanting to interact with the two of us at all. Also must! Perhaps they are afraid that if they are close to us, they will also be Alex and Mrs. Luna's hate! Even Alice, who was helped by me yesterday, quietly returned to the bed and covered herself with the blanket. She was the one who was harmed yesterday. Perhaps Alice was the one who was most afraid right now. If she's on my side, she'll probably be the next victim in Alex's deadly slander. Come to think of it, I can somewhat understand Alice's fear and easily sympathize with her. So I don't hate Alice because of this.

Only Daisy and I are left in the room right now. She was so upset, that she pulled me out into the hallway for a while. Out in the hallway, Daisy immediately hugged me and whispered: "Thank you, Jasmine. If you weren't here, I would probably have been convicted of theft and would have broken my arms!"

I can only sigh and softly comfort her: "Don't cry! Be strong! If they see what you look like now, they will be delighted! As long as we work hard and are careful, other people won't be able to harm us!"

When Daisy heard that, she stopped crying and said, "Of course, I won't be entertainment for them! I'm just crying because I'm upset! Yesterday I didn't have any plans when I put on Mrs. Lauriel's makeup. I was just trying. I really want to be chosen as the Curie family's maid to receive my salary! But because of this, I have been hated by Mrs. Luna... Do you think there is still justice?"

I sighed again: "There are good people and bad people everywhere! As long as we are not ashamed of our hearts, in the end, there are good people to help!"

When Daisy heard that, she put her hand on her eyelids to hold back tears: "Compared to Mrs. Luna, Mrs. Lauriel is a much more kind person. It's a pity that we are miserable, not chosen to serve them. !"

I smiled wryly and replied: "Now that Mrs. Luna is pregnant, of course, she needs many servants. If Mrs. Lauriel is also pregnant, then we need all of us!"

Daisy was a little thoughtful: "Is that so..."

When I heard that I was a little confused: "What are you going to say?"

Daisy shook her head, just quietly wiping her tears: "No... nothing!"

It was not convenient for me to ask further, but softly: "Let's go! We need to sleep! Tomorrow there will be a lot of work that we have to finish before the morning. If we don't want to get into trouble, we have to try to sleep well so that tomorrow morning you can wake up early and have the energy to complete all tasks well!"

Daisy quietly nodded. That night, of course, Daisy and I couldn't get a good night's sleep. The moonlight could not be seen outside due to the clouds. Therefore, there was no way for any light to enter the room at that time. Even with the lights out, I can't seem to get to sleep. In this posh mansion, I could hear the sounds of crickets and other insects chirping outside. There is not much of a difference between the sounds of insects here and the sounds of insects in the impoverished countryside where we live. If only I had a lot of money, I could retire in that lovely and tranquil countryside with my sister and mother and spend the rest of my life there. I have always wished that I had that kind of wealth. I intend to keep a herd of goats for milking and a flock of chickens for egg production in my backyard. How much is enough? I know it's a pipe dream for me right now, but I still want to find out how much is enough. Because the future is still going to be very challenging. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get past them. It looks like I've been crying because my pillow is getting wet. However, when I remember the beautiful moments with our mother and sister in the poor countryside, I suddenly have more motivation to try. So, even though I didn't get enough sleep, early the next morning, I woke up at four o'clock in the morning with the maids who had just moved into Curie's house. And just like what Alex said, we five newcomers have to do the heavy lifting for the old maids. This is clearly an old person bullying the new one, but we dare not complain.

Things are not really over after we finish the morning work. There are still plenty of jobs for the maids at noon, afternoon, and night.

Our day is long because we have to work from morning to afternoon. From light to heavy work, everything big and small in Mrs. Luna's room was all on top of the four of us. On the contrary, the old maids were very relaxed, they only did light work. Although we new people don't dare to express our displeasure towards the old ones. But out of the five of us, with the exception of Alice, the other two sometimes show a bit of reproach towards me and Daisy. Because they think that, because Daisy and I offended Alex, they implicated them, causing them to suffer. During my lunch break, I explored the grounds of this villa and found a deserted area that was growing water morning glory flowers. I was surprised to see such a place. These water morning glory flowers brought back fond memories of times gone by. My hometown is a fishing village on the coast of a beautiful blue sea, and because of this, it is not hard at all to find these beautiful purple water morning glory flowers. However, it is not easy to locate these unremarkable flowers in an environment as opulent as this dazzling mansion. It's possible that only this garden in the middle of nowhere has the appearance of the other water morning glory flowers. I was walking along this road that was full of flowers when all of a sudden, I saw the warehouse that was in the distance that had locked up that person. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a voice in my head. The voice I heard belonged to Madam Anna, and she was warning me not to get lost inside the mansion. As a result, I decided to exercise some caution and head back to the area where I take my lunch break, but I still gave some thought to the stunning purple water morning glory flowers, and the person locked in as well.
