Xu Erya felt stifled by how this year had turned out.
True, she did save Lu Ze.
But the moment she volunteered to serve as a maid for Mrs. Lu, she placed herself at a lower status.
At first, Mrs. Lu seemed willing to take care of her.
But it didn't take long before Mrs. Lu started ordering her around, and soon after, the incident of saving Lu Ze was forgotten, and she was treated no different from any other maid.
The Lu Family was a prominent household, and naturally, their New Year celebrations were quite lively.
However, the festivities belonged to the masters of the house, while the maids actually had an especially tough time during the New Year.
In the twelfth lunar month, the maids of the Lu Family began their busy work.
All sorts of cleaning, tidying up rooms, and countless trivial tasks were for the maids to handle.
It was the same with Mrs. Lu's quarters—her maids were busy as can be.
Xu Erya was no exception.
