Chapter 384: Qiu Ju's Decision

But staying at the Zhuang Clan, she has no name or share, merely a granddaughter; how could she stay long-term at the Zhuang Clan?

"I've thought it through." Jiang Yunchu was not surprised.

Perhaps the great-aunt hadn't noticed; her children, actually each one is not of a soft nature. Compared to the gentlest Sister Qiu Ju, after escaping life and death, she too gradually became strong.

"I've thought it through."

"I just don't understand anything; I once learned household management with my mother, but the Xie Clan's affairs never let me intervene, and over the years I've also fallen behind."

She smiled helplessly, and in the end realized she seemed unable to do anything.

Jiang Yunchu laughed hahaha, "What I've learned has always been here; how could I forget it?"

She pointed to her own temples, looking at Qiu Ju with some admiration.

A woman, a divorced woman, who dares to step forward and voice her thoughts, is worthy of praise.

"So, can I follow you from now on?" Qiu Ju today summoned her courage; she wanted to change her situation, and could only do so step by step.

Having come through life and death, what else could she not get through?

"I am loyal; my life is yours, saved by you. Even if I lose this life, I will not betray you." Kang Qiu Ju, at this moment solemn, looked at Jiang Yunchu with eyes straight, without any evasion.

She fears no scrutiny, nor any questioning.

"Although I can't do anything now, I will work hard to learn; whatever others can learn, I can too." She feared Yun chu might not agree, so she added another sentence.

Jiang Yunchu took a deep look at Kang Qiu Ju, somewhat surprised, yet also understandable.

"Come on, let's go see those girls." She gave a light smile.

Kang Qiu Ju froze for a moment, but Zi Su quietly approached and said, "Second Miss, our master has agreed."

Upon hearing the reminder, she quickened her steps to follow, her whole face breaking into a smile.

"Greetings, master." Jiang Yunchu entered the courtyard; the eighty-seven maidens, led by six maidens, all performed the salute.

Jiang Yunchu walked to the main seat, sat down, and the folding fan in her hand opened with a "crack".

Looking at the maidens with proper etiquette, "Rise."

The ninety-three maidens immediately rose, gazing at the sole seated person.

"You six, report the situation." Jiang Yunchu looked at the six people standing in front.

The six exchanged a glance, and Shu Ying stepped forward, "Reporting to master, everyone has completed training—acupoints, strength, procedure—all without error, ready to work at any time."

Among them, only she had the most authority to speak.

Jiang Yunchu nodded, "Go fetch a bed."

Several maidens hurriedly moved; the small massage bed is light, two maidens can lift it.

"Second Miss, lie down." She looked at Kang Qiu Ju.

Since we're doing something, we ought to know what the experience feels like.

Although Kang Qiu Ju needs much training, her loyalty is what is most needed; the south has always needed a manager, and if Kang Qiu Ju can establish herself, she is precisely the right person.

"Yes!"

Kang Qiu Ju immediately performed a salute, without hesitation, and lay directly on that bed.

"Third row, fourth person."

Jiang Yunchu casually pointed at someone; that maiden pointed at her own nose, looking at her in disbelief, and Jiang Yunchu nodded, "It's you."

After receiving confirmation, that maiden eagerly stepped forward.

First she took a box of face mask from one side, then walked to the small bedside.

"Miss, our rose facial treatment mainly brightens skin, moisturizes, reduces melanin; after use the skin becomes fairer."

"Just relax, miss."

The girl did not directly apply the face mask; instead she slowly massaged Qiu Ju's shoulders, letting Qiu Ju completely relax.

"Next, I will begin facial cleansing." The little maiden always laughed, her voice sweet.

This series of operations, however, surprised Jiang Yunchu somewhat.

This…

She hadn't taught this at all!

But she said nothing, just watched her actions; afterward came washing the face, then massage, then applying the mask, during which a scalp massage was performed, and when she removed the mask, Kang Qiu Ju had already let out a long, steady breath.

The little maiden's gradual massage allowed the essence to be fully absorbed; afterward she deliberately tested the water temperature, confirming it matched the skin, then washed it off and applied rose dew.

After all the procedures were finished, the little maiden looked toward Jiang Yunchu.

The guest had fallen asleep, which she hadn't expected, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

"You did very well." Jiang Yunchu looked at her and said encouragingly.

"For the guest to relax so completely in front of so many people is your ability."

"If such a situation arises, just take a blanket, cover the guest, and let them sleep well."

She stood up, gave a light smile, then looked at the girl.

"Who taught you?" she asked, curious.

The little maiden turned, looked at Shu Ying, and said, "Reporting to master, Shu Ying taught me."

Jiang Yunchu raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised; Shu Ying's nature is very aloof, indifferent to everything, yet I didn't expect her to be so attentive.

"Master, all the maidens' techniques have been confirmed by Shu Ying; although we are divided into six units, teaching and management are unified." Ye Wen smiled gently; over these days of contact, she also knew Shu Ying's nature—if she herself didn't speak, Shu Ying would never speak up.

Jiang Yunchu nodded, then looked at Shu Ying, "I want to take you to Ning Jing; what do you think?"

Shu Ying directly bowed, "Shu Ying follows the master's orders."

These maidens used to call the host "Host," but now that they've come, she noticed their address had changed, and she could guess why.

Jiang Yunchu nodded, "Jingdu has three experience halls, Zhuang City has three, and Yan City has two."

"I want to bring two people to Ning Jing; besides Shu Ying, I need one more—do any of you want to go?"

The experience hall's affairs must be handled by a dedicated person; although in Jingdu, Su Xin is looking after it, the shop still needs its own steward and cannot rely entirely on others.

Master, I'll go.

At this moment, a pretty little maid stepped forward—Rou Jia!

She was just thirteen years old; Jiang Yunchu even thought about letting her wait another two years, but unexpectedly it turned out to be this little maid.

"Ning Jing is not a good place, ah; in that place, it's basically a man-eater that doesn't spit out bones, possibly..."

She looked at Rou Jia, "Your master—I cannot even protect you; are you still willing to go?"
