Chapter 822: Mu Bai Ci’s Decision _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

“Miss, is this fine?” One of the two maidservants who followed Mu Bai Ci asked. She came along with Mu Bai Ci from Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence because she had no intention of being sold out with the other servants.

She got along well with Mu Bai Ci and wished to follow her.

Anyway, they had no other skills but the skills of maidservants. Thus, following Mu Bai Ci had almost become a certainty for them.

“Yes.” Mu Bai Ci nodded. Her expression was calm. She knew that if she were to accept Nan Hua’s invitation and didn’t show that she wanted a quiet life, she would be dragged into more schemes.

She didn’t believe she would lose anything with her brain and capabilities. But she had no intention of getting involved in more schemes. After living her life trying her best to stay alive in that rotten residence, she wanted to live a quiet life.

Her past was not that remarkable.

As a daughter of a poor peasant family, Mu Bai Ci saw how patriarchal her family was. They didn’t like daughters and only fed her in order to be able to sell her for several taels of silver.

No matter how much she begged them, trying to please them, they would never agree to her request.

For them, her existence would be nothing more than to be sold away.

That was what her parents were thinking.

She could probably have run away back then, but Mu Bai Ci finally didn’t do it. She knew how hard it was for a black household to survive, and as a young girl with no knowledge of the world, how did she expect to live?

So she endured.

Slowly bidding her time and making sure that she was able to stay alive even when she was thrown into that unfavorable situation. Even if she was not favored and there were times when things were difficult, she tried her best to live well.

All she hoped was that she could live well.

At first, she thought that Nan Shu Cheng would be able to live long and that she would stay in his residence for most of her life.

But she was wrong.

She didn’t even stay in that residence for more than a decade before being thrown out like this. But she had been prepared and secretly accumulated money so that she could still stay alive in this adversity.

Mu Bai Ci smiled.

“But Miss, if you were to follow her….” you will be able to obtain more glory, power, and money.

“I know, but that’s not my aspiration.” Mu Bai Ci looked at the maidservants who followed her. “Even if I have some abilities, I know I’m not at the very peak of this world. There are countless other geniuses, and they’re all competing for the same reason. Should I stick my neck to the front just because I have the same qualification to compete and put myself in danger? I would rather stay idle and be enough as long as I can protect myself and those around me.”

Mu Bai Ci looked at the maidservant in front of her.

The first maidservant lowered her head in shame. She had to admit that she was not paying attention to what Mu Bai Ci wanted when she asked this question. After being close to Mu Bai Ci for so many years, how could she not be clear about Mu Bai Ci’s personality?

She was not the type of person who was ambitious.

On the contrary, Mu Bai Ci was the type of person who would rather be ordinary despite having the qualification to compete for more. Blending in the norm of the world, she would try her best to make sure that she would not attract other people’s attention.

What she wanted was to live well and comfortably.

And not to live while worrying whether there would be someone who would be aiming for her neck.

It was tiring.
