Before, she had seen an overview of the Xiang Family in the news and knew that the family had many brothers.
Could it be that this young man and woman were Xiang Yimo’s younger brother and sister?
“Third Lady, my name is Xiaobing, and his name is Xiaojin.
I was called by the old master to serve you, Xiaojin has always served the Third Young Master!” Xiaobing said to Zhong Lingling with utmost respect.
“What?
I’m perfectly healthy.
I don’t need anyone to tend to me!” Zhong Lingling quickly waved her hands.
“Is it because you think I’m too young and inexperienced to serve you?” The young girl looked at Zhong Lingling with a face full of grievance.
“No, no, no!
That’s not what I meant, it’s just that I’m not used to being served!” Zhong Lingling felt like she was having her eyes opened.
So the ladies of wealthy families even had personal attendants for their daily routines!
It wasn’t like the old times, it was the twenty-first century.
Wasn’t it more common to hire maids to do cleaning, take care of children, and the like?
To think that a perfectly healthy person would also be tended to.
Xiaobing looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, probably just like Zhong Lingling back in the day, starting work right after graduating from high school or even middle school.
“Third Lady, once you live here longer, you’ll get used to it.
There are eight nannies taking care of the head madam, and the eldest young madam has three or four personal nannies.
Every young master and miss has at least two personal nannies.
Since you’re new here, you have the least, afraid that others might laugh if even this makes you uncomfortable!” Xiaobing might seem young,
but she was quite knowledgeable about the affairs of a wealthy household.
Her following words were whispered quietly, entirely out of a desire to protect and remind Zhong Lingling.
“Is that so!” Zhong Lingling managed to squeeze out a faint smile.
She then let Xiaobing and Xiaojin into the room.
“Third Lady, you should freshen up.
I’ll help you get dressed and make up.
This is your second day entering the Xiang Family, and later, you have to pay morning respects to the old master and madam, as well as meet the eldest young master, second young master, the fourth young miss, and the little young master one by one!” Xiaobing said as she tidied up the messy food on the dining table.
“Is it that troublesome?” Zhong Lingling knew that wealthy families had many rules,
but she didn’t expect that she would have to get up at seven in the freezing morning to pay respects to her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
“By the rules, it’s only on the second day of entering the family that you have to pay respects, you won’t need to do so later!
Oh, and everyone is already up and waiting in the dining room to see you!” Xiaobing patiently explained.
“Well then, I’ll go freshen up and take a bath!” Zhong Lingling turned and entered the bathroom.
She closed the door behind her and let out a sigh of relief.
She’d just do the morning respects; why think so much about it?
These people, she would have to meet them eventually, and who knows, each one of them might be very friendly.
She quickly washed up and took a cool shower.
In this time, Xiaobing not only cleaned up the table but had also prepared Zhong Lingling’s clothes, waiting outside the bathroom.
“Third Lady, your towel and clothes, please open the door a bit!”
“Oh!
Okay!
Thank you, Xiaobing!” This was the first time in her life that Zhong Lingling had enjoyed such treatment,
having someone clear the dishes after a meal, and prepare her clothes and towel for bathing.
Wasn’t this the treatment of an empress from ancient times?
But then again, considering the social status of the Xiang Family, what was the difference between them and the Royal Family of ancient times?
After all, she was a young lady of the household; such treatment was completely normal.
It would be better for her to accept it graciously; hesitating too much would make her seem petty.
She took the towel and clothes.
