She would only stay until she was old and faded, then step down to become a manager, or if someone was willing to take her in as a servant, that would be fine too.

Lü Guo tilted her head and muttered, “That matter seems to have happened twelve years ago,” but before Gu Qingtong could listen carefully, she said, “Calculating, she should be over fifteen.”
Gu Qingtong didn’t expect her age and birthday to be such a mystery, but since Lü Guo said so, she would just accept it. After all, there were no birthday cakes in ancient times. Longevity noodles and such, she had never eaten and wasn’t interested in for now. When others asked, she would answer like Lü Guo did.

“Gu Qingniang.”
