Transmigrated As The Magistrate’s Kitchen Maid

Li Xiaoxiao somehow traveled back more than thirty thousand years into the past while pursuing an interstellar silver wolf, arriving in the Great Wu Dynasty as one of the refugees fleeing after the Great Flood. With no household registration, no travel permit, and nothing to her name, she was taken in by the family of the newly appointed magistrate of Miyang County because of her extraordinary strength, becoming a kitchen maid responsible for tending the fire in the kitchen. Mama Mao, who was in charge of the kitchen, breathed a huge sigh of relief. At last, they had found someone who could actually work. Unfortunately, there was only one thing wrong with this girl: she ate a little too much. Li Xiaoxiao argued confidently, “I eat a lot because I work fast. One person can do the work of three!” After watching her lift a huge vat weighing more than a hundred jin by herself and finish a day’s worth of work in a single shichen, Mama Mao fell silent. Li Xiaoxiao was very satisfied. Here, food and lodging were provided, her stomach was kept full, and she even got a monthly wage. Her grand dream of living off others and waiting around to die seemed within reach. But had she celebrated too soon? She had only been there for two days when the county magistrate fell deathly ill. His only son, Meng Guanqi, had only obtained the xiucai degree. If the county magistrate really died of his illness, would this fourteen-year-old young master be the first to sell her off? With no other choice, she had to transform herself into a wet nurse and secretly save Magistrate Meng, allowing herself to continue the peaceful life she had dreamed of. Who could have imagined that such an ordinary little county government office would have so many damn problems? Magistrate Meng offended his superior, Meng Guanqi got on the wrong side of his superior’s wife’s nephew, the young lady’s maid ran off with the family’s valuables and the carriage driver, Madam Liu secretly tried to pawn valuables and was caught red-handed… Li Xiaoxiao ran herself ragged dealing with one thing after another and was forced to get caught up in the chaos as well. What happened to the good life where she could eat her fill and wait around to die? How had she ended up this busy? And what kind of trouble-attracting constitution did this fair-skinned young master have? One moment he was being drugged, and the next he was caught up in a murder case involving an attempt to assassinate the Crown Prince. There was one conspiracy behind another. Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to keep getting dragged into one mess after another. And as she kept getting dragged in, she, uh, ended up falling in love with the young master. Everyone said they were ill-matched? Li Xiaoxiao snorted. “Don’t even talk about how our status is different or our skin colors don’t match. We’re the most well-matched pair there is.” After all, she had rendered meritorious service in helping the emperor ascend the throne. … Meng Guanqi had been accustomed to keeping a low profile since childhood. He neither fought nor competed for anything and was obedient and well-behaved. Even when doing his homework, he would make two copies: the good one for his father to see, and the ordinary one for his teacher. He had kept such a low profile, yet he was still driven out of the capital and had to accompany his father to take up his post in Miyang County. He never expected that even this remote little county would be fraught with danger. He was drugged, schemed against, and assassinated, and every time, it was the maid beside him who stepped forward and saved him from the brink of disaster. He had never had much contact with other women. He only knew that not everyone could be like Li Xiaoxiao, remaining resilient and upright in the face of adversity while living freely, spiritedly, and with radiant confidence. The world said she was not worthy of him, but in his eyes and heart, she was more confident and beautiful than a celestial goddess from the ninth heaven. She was the one who had saved him. He knew she disliked a life confined like a cage and always dreamed that one day she could soar freely. So he resolved to become an imperial inspector and take her with him to travel across countless mountains and rivers. ──────── ❈ ──────── 🔓 Chapters 30–35 are now unlocked! 🔓 — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Transmigrated As The Magistrate’s Kitchen Maid — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
