Ah Qin, nominally the daughter of a commoner family in the city of London, is actually the illegitimate daughter of Lyle and the maid Ah Ai.

It's not a great background, but it's not bad either. On the worst side, due to confidentiality and work, she can only get a trace of paternal love and missing maternal love; On the bright side, she is in the position of 'a hen that lays golden eggs' in the titular family, living a little princess-like life.

To be honest, this kind of growth environment is very easy for children to grow crooked, but I have to praise my mother Ah Ai's teaching, she guided her daughter to grow into a low-key and hardworking person in the lack of time to get along.

Now, Ah Qin has completed her studies and has come to Lyle's manor to work as a new maid...... Of course, this is not a woman's inheritance, the profession of 'maid' is not a privileged profession, and this is not to meet Lyle, who is closer to her incompetent adoptive father who can live an ordinary citizen-level life by relying on the living expenses provided by Lyle compared to her biological father, who has not met a few times.

Ah Qin just refused to take living expenses for nothing for the rest of his life, and chose to accept Lyle's arrangement, come to the manor to be a maid for a year or two, show his talents, accumulate some work experience, and then go to the factory to parachute as a manager...... cough, although I took the road that I couldn't see, I finally supported myself.

Because of Lyle's love for maids, this unreasonable management model has actually appeared many times, and even the shareholders' repeated protests have been useless, so they can only reluctantly accept the willfulness of the major shareholders who control the company by technology research and development, and opening the back door to the illegitimate daughter will not attract the attention of his wife Agui.

However, it is precisely because of this management model that everyone is well known that a large group of dream-chasing girls came to Lyle's house to apply for a job as a maid, even if Ah Qin has no possibility of losing, but his colleagues don't know that they are destined to intrigue and have a good time in the past two years.

"............" Ah Qin was depressed in her heart, but for a glorious career, she could only endure it.

"Are these people?" The dignified middle-aged maid glanced at the newcomers in the row, apparently not looking for the 'person who looked like the master's daughter', but only to confirm whether the actual number of people present matched the number of people who were admitted.

"I don't care if you plan to use the maid's job as a springboard, but when you come in, you have to obey the rules, work seriously as a maid, and get out of if you are lazy and make mistakes!" The head maid knew what these newcomers were thinking, and she was a little angry when she spoke.

Originally, the position of maid was reserved for girls with relatively poor families, and these girls could endure hardships, and even sometimes in the embarrassing reality, they had to endure tears by the male master. But over the years, many pampered girls have come to apply for jobs with the idea of getting ahead, and they didn't work long before they resigned due to problems, which really caused her a lot of trouble.

"............" naturally no newcomer will reply, and the reprimand of the boss will be heard.

The head maid didn't expect to bluff these newcomers away with a few casual words, and continued: "You are very lucky this time, the master recruits newcomers because he needs a young man with ingenuity to assist him in academic research, maybe your wish will be easier to achieve...... But! It is absolutely forbidden to leak the research results of the master, and it is not allowed to mention it on weekdays, do you hear it! ”

"Yes!" The newcomers couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts, and they responded in unison without any training.

No matter how suspicious the newcomer was, the head maid's own work had to be completed, and her tense face finally relaxed: "Now, I'll take you around the manor first, don't make noise, don't walk around at will, don't touch anything. ”

"Huh......" Seeing the serious head maid turn around, Ah Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As mentioned earlier, she just didn't grow crooked under the guidance of her mother Ah Ai, and usually helped with housework or something, but she still lived a little princess-like life and lacked experience in facing strict elders.

"But...... Is this my father's home......" Chin muttered, following the head maid around her workplace for the next two years, along with the other newcomers.

》》》》》》》

This was the first time that Ah Qin saw the manor of the nobility.

It can be said very bluntly that the feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred have overshadowed the initial curiosity and made Ah Qin's heart bitter.

is also the daughter of Lyle, Ah Du can grow up in such a luxurious manor, and she can only grow up in a small house in the city; is also Lyle's blood, Ah Du can wear a beautiful dress skirt, while she can only wear a black and white maid dress; is also Lyle's closest relative, Ah Du is the master, and she can only be a servant.

For a moment, Ah Qin wanted to jump out and tell the world that she was also Lyle's daughter...... Fortunately, the impulse did not put into action.

The father's attitude is very clear, the former will definitely be chosen between the wife and the mistress's illegitimate son, and the mother has long accepted this result, she will not get what she wants, she will only lose what she has...... Maybe Lyle will give their mother and daughter a sum of alimony, but if the main wife Agui makes a small move behind her back, their mother and daughter don't know what disaster will be.

In the end, under the guidance of the head maid, Ah Qin quietly visited Lyle in the study with other newcomers-

"Master, this is the maid recruited this year, please take a look." With that, the head maid stepped aside.

Lyle was not the only one in the study, there were two maids, one helping with paperwork on the side, and one attendant doing chores in place of Lyle's hands and feet, and the maid who did the chores was Ah Qin's mother.

Naturally, the mother and daughter who looked at each other were silent, and for the time being, they treated each other as strangers.

"Hmph~" It's not so much that he doesn't look old, but that Lyle, who looks abnormally young (the effect of the power of the goddess), his eyes swept over the newcomer maids.

I'm sorry, even though Ah Ai described his daughter's appearance, he still couldn't find someone to identify Ah Qin.

Lyle soon gave up, and if he continued to star, he would be misunderstood by the group of girls younger than his eldest daughter for the loss of his reputation, and said something serious: "Half a century ago, people called the study of matter [alchemy], and now this discipline has been renamed [chemistry], which is a great progress in human understanding of the world, perhaps more important than the 'steam engine'. ”

“？？？” Even the absent-minded Ah Qin listened to it, she came to be a maid, not a chemist!

Lyle then explained: "I don't need you to understand the principle, but I need you to help me complete all kinds of experiments correctly, which is why I hired you...... Be mentally prepared, I'll train you myself in a few days. ”

Lyle waved his hand and motioned for the head maid to lead the man away.

At the moment when the newlyweds walked out of the door, Lyle said leisurely: "Work hard, no matter how you evaluate the life that your parents brought you in the front, you have grown so big, and the life in the future will be your own." ”
