“Well, that’s what we’ll call it, don’t forget in the future.” Young Master Yu Qing finally seemed satisfied, “It’s quite late. You’ll need to go to the Yang family tomorrow morning, so go back and rest early. If you need anything, just come find me.”
“Mm.” Gu Qingtong felt his grip loosen, quickly opened the door and escaped, running down the stairs.
Green Fruit was waiting downstairs. Seeing her come down, she hurriedly called the carriage driver.
Until she returned to the Flower and Moon Pavilion, Gu Qingtong’s head was still somewhat muddled, filled with Young Master Yu Qing’s suggestive words.
“Wuwu… I don’t want to be a Li’niang… I don’t want to…”

Just as Gu Qingtong entered, she heard a group of girls being pushed in through another door, crying with tears like falling flowers.
“What’s going on?” Gu Qingtong grabbed a passing maidservant and asked.
“Lord Leng has committed a crime and been imprisoned. These are all Leng family’s maidservants. Born without a mistress’s fate, they will naturally become Li’niang now.”
“What about the Leng family’s young ladies?”
“The Leng family’s two young ladies have been taken by Ruan’niang and Color Sister. They’re only ten now, but already show promise as beauties. In the future, they’ll be trained as Qing’niang, definitely top-notch.”
Gu Qingtong now truly understood Young Master Yu Qing’s words. She realized the origins of Qing’niang and Li’niang. No wonder their status was so lowly – they were demoted due to their family’s misdeeds. Li’niang were trained from maidservants, because they were inherently lowly. Qing’niang were originally from wealthy families, with a more noble status, ultimately trained to maintain a pure reputation. This meant her current body was originally from a noble family, only becoming a Qing’niang because of her family’s transgressions.
Gu Qingtong was pondering this when Liang Luoxian swayed over: “Oh, Gu Qingtong, reminiscing about your Gu family’s glorious days again? But no matter how glorious, you’re now just a lowly Qing’niang, worse than these newly dragged-in young girls.”
