The maid sitting at the entrance of the courtyard hummed to herself, leisurely cracking melon seeds and continued to joke and laugh with the other maids.
"Hey, have you heard? The Crown Prince's consort selection doesn't care about family background; as long as she's pure and untouched, that's enough. Over the years, I've saved quite a bit of Silver and have enough to buy back my own Servitude Contract. If I redeem it, then I'm also someone pure and untouched, don't you think I could also go and participate in the selection?"
The maid next to her burst into laughter and said, "You wish, they want someone who has both beauty and talent. Do you have either?"
"You little wretch, how dare you insult me..." The speaking maid immediately got up and chased after the other maid.
Laughter filled the courtyard, contrasting sharply with Jin Fengzhao inside the house, who was fuming with rage and starving.
