Xiaofang had entered the Zhang Residence at a very young age. She had come to Jinnan as a refugee after her entire family perished, and it was the Zhang Residence steward who bought her.
Back then, she didn't know a single character, but because the position offered two meals a day, countless people scrambled for the chance to get in. Xiaofang managed to secure her spot thanks to her delicate features and silver tongue; otherwise, she surely would have been sold off to some wretched, filthy place.
No matter how good the Zhang Family was, she was still a servant. Any veteran servant felt entitled to lecture her, and it was not uncommon for her to be slapped or scolded whenever someone was in a bad mood. She stumbled through several years like this, and as she grew older, there were one or two bad-minded men who tried to take advantage of her. Fortunately, just at that time, the young mistress married into the family. Seeing her being bullied, the mistress called her into her chambers to serve her.
