~7 min read 1,330 words

Zhu family.

The servants were busy, and they saw their master returning with joy, his steps larger and faster than usual.

"Even if the matter is done, the master doesn't need to be this happy, right?"

The servants muttered in their hearts, but their movements did not stop, and even their expressions did not change at all.

This is what they have practiced after being servants for so many years.

To be a superior, one must not show joy or anger in one's expression.

To be a servant, it is naturally not simple.

Once there is a slight mistake and the master holds a grudge, life is in danger.

Servants in this era don't have much human rights; if they are beaten to death, no one needs to take responsibility, just throw them in the mass grave and it's done.

Therefore, servants have practiced a set of skills in this cruel environment.

"Wife, great joy."

Arriving at the living room, he saw his wife making tea, and the head of the Zhu family shouted loudly.

"Lower your voice, pay attention to your words and deeds; our Zhu family is also a big family, pay attention to etiquette, don't be boisterous." Madam Zhu was speechless and rolled her eyes at her husband.

"Gulp, gulp."

The head of the Zhu family sat down and drank a sip of tea, "Wife, great joy, this matter is far beyond your imagination."

"Did the Ma family agree?" Madam Zhu didn't care much, "Even if the Ma family has great power, we don't need to be this happy, right?"

"It's not the Ma family!" The head of the Zhu family shook his head, "It's someone else."

"Someone else?" Madam Zhu's face changed, "I tell you, it's fine for our daughter to marry into the Ma family, at least it's a match. If it's some other unsavory person, I won't agree!"

"No, wife, you look at this first!"

Saying that, he took out the divine mantra hidden in his sleeve and handed it to his wife.

"You chant it once, and then we'll talk about the rest."

Madam Zhu looked puzzled; her husband was originally such a shrewd person, how did he become so superstitious after going out once?

Could there be something wrong with the Ma family?

Facing the expectant gaze of the head of the Zhu family, Madam Zhu sighed and began to chant.

As the chanting began, Madam Zhu's body began to glow...

A moment later.

"This... this is an immortal trace." Madam Zhu looked shocked, "Husband, you actually got such a divine object?!"

The head of the Zhu family hurriedly told the story from beginning to end.

Madam Zhu listened and looked excited, saying: "In that case, the daughter is not marrying into the Ma family, but is being sent to the side of an immortal?"

"Yes. Wife, what do you think?"

"I think it's very good." Madam Zhu smiled happily, "If this matter is done, not only will our daughter have a good place to go, but our family will also be able to flourish together. This is much better than marrying into a powerful family."

"I think so too. Wife, you go and tell our daughter." The head of the Zhu family nodded, "This matter is very important; don't let our daughter be unwilling. Otherwise, when she arrives at the immortal's side, wouldn't she offend someone?"

"Don't worry, our daughter is still very sensible." Madam Zhu smiled, "Leave this matter to me."

On the attic.

Zhu Yingtai washed up in the morning, and a pretty maid stood behind her, combing her hair.

"Young lady is so beautiful, I don't know which young master will be lucky." The maid sighed.

Zhu Yingtai sighed when she heard this: "Being beautiful is not a blessing! Being in the Zhu family, I cannot control myself, you won't understand."

The maid was speechless in her heart.

Naturally, she wouldn't understand this kind of thing.

Born in an ordinary commoner family, she was sold into the Zhu family from a young age, just for a full meal.

And her parents and brother at home were not so lucky; they died in the drought three years ago, and no one even collected their corpses; no one knew which wild dog dragged them away.

For her parents, she hated them at first.

After a long time, she didn't hate them so much, and even began to miss them.

The world is difficult, everyone is like this, and selling sons and daughters has become the norm.

If she could be sold, her parents would even sell themselves, selling into a wealthy family as a servant, at least to get two meals a day.

Unfortunately, in this era, you can't be a servant just because you want to; ordinary people don't even need to think about it.

The world is difficult, it is difficult to be a commoner!

Xiao Zhu remembered the night before her parents sold her, and felt sad in her heart.

"Old man, have you inquired?"

"Inquired, the Zhu family is still kind, the servants live well. Alas, it's just hard for the girl, she has to serve people at such a young age."

"It's not bad to be a servant, at least there is food to eat. It's a pity that her brother is a boy, and it's not so easy to sell himself as a slave, so he can only suffer with us. The world is getting more and more difficult, I don't know how many more years we can raise him."

"Sigh..."

"Young lady probably won't understand, there are plenty of people who dream of a life like hers! I cannot control myself, I also want this kind of 'cannot control myself'." Xiao Zhu sighed in her heart, but her movements did not stop, and she did not complain at all.

In a room, the two had different thoughts, both were water droplets under the rolling waves, and their fates were not their own.

A speck of dust in the era, when it falls on an ordinary person, it is a mountain, making people unable to resist.

"Yingtai!"

The next moment, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a ray of sunlight shone in, shining on half of Zhu Yingtai's fair cheek.

Immediately, half of her cheek was in the shadows, a bit eerie, and the other side was in the sunlight, charming and moving.

"Xiao Zhu, you go down, I will take care of the young lady here."

"Yes, Madam."

"Mother, is the matter done?" Zhu Yingtai's heart trembled.

Although blind marriage and dumb engagement are the norm in this era, she was about to marry a man she knew nothing about, and she still found it difficult to accept.

"It's done, and it's not done!" Madam Zhu picked up the sandalwood comb and combed her daughter's hair, "Daughter has good fortune, has immortal fate, and can go to the immortal world to enjoy blessings. At that time, I hope Yingtai won't forget the Zhu family."

"Immortal fate?" Zhu Yingtai was a bit confused, her head tilted, and her whole face was in the sunlight.

This was a face that was exquisite to the extreme, as if it was the special favor of the Creator, which made her eyebrows and eyes show a city-toppling appearance, her temperament was gentle, like a person walking out of an immortal.

Looking closely at her figure, it was also perfectly proportioned, showing the elegance of a Jiangnan woman in a plain white dress.

"Does Mother also believe in those superstitious things?" Zhu Yingtai sighed, her heart sinking.

She had a guess in her heart, thinking of bad things, but she was powerless to change them.

Being in the game, how should an ordinary person fight against fate?

She turned her head away, her whole face in the shadows, making people unable to see her aggrieved expression Zero. ===== CHAPTER 778 =====
