The servant contracts of Chu Meng and Chu Pan's maidservants and old maids were originally in the hands of the sisters of the Chu Family. However, Madam Chu, who had long accumulated resentment against the two illegitimate daughters, snatched those contracts away and then had them sent to a brokerage to be sold.
Madam Chu wanted to move to Liangxi, naturally not wanting to take the two illegitimate daughters along, nor did she want to leave a group of maidservants to serve them.
After all, these maidservants were also the property of the Chu Family.
Thus, Madam Chu acted ruthlessly; upon her departure, she not only left the two illegitimate daughters without a single penny, but also sold all the servants around them.
It was Chu Pan who used the dowry money she had secretly hidden to buy back the maidservants.
As a result, these maidservants were deeply grateful to Chu Meng and Chu Pan, and were loyally devoted to them.
