Lin Qingyuan gave him a questioning look. "A maid would be more adept at this work compared to a male servant, and they would be more meticulous. Wouldn't it be more convenient to keep a few of them by your side? Besides…" She paused and gave a light cough before saying pointedly, "If you happen to find some of them pleasing to the eye, you can keep them by your side as a personal handmaiden."
Chu Qi frowned. He did not like hearing about such things.
Ji'er, who was playing with Yuanyuan, suddenly heard the words 'personal handmaiden', which she could not fully comprehend. She asked Lin Qingyuan, "Big Sis Qingyuan, what's a personal handmaiden?"
Yaoyao looked curious as well.
Baoyu gave the same questioning look.
Lin Qingyuan gave a light cough. She realized she had let her tongue slip.
