"Come in." Like pearls falling onto a plate, the laziness was gone, and the owner of the voice was truly awake.

  Mozzie nodded, finished her tea, and was just about to lift the curtain.

  Lu Jing stretched out her hand to help her roll up the curtain, chuckled and said, "Young lady, Im still here."

  Two people entered the inner room, one lifted the curtain and tied it back, the other poured water and served tea.

  The layered gauze curtains were lifted, and the light that came from the cloud-patterned windows shone on the figure rising from bed. Black hair was piled high in a chignon, new willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and cherry lips. Her face was like a peach blossom, her skin as smooth as jade. With a slight lift of her wrist and a turn of her wonderful eyes, it was truly as if the beautiful woman of the bright moon had arrived, extraordinary and lovely.

  Qiu Shuiyun, also known as Third Miss of the Qiu Manor, was indeed the mistress of this courtyard.

  Mei Zi sat down on the edge of the bed and handed over a jade cup filled with water.

  Qiao San Niang rinsed her mouth carefully and then accepted the warm tea that Mo Zi had prepared, drinking half a cup before she felt her sleep-weary body could stretch out a bit.

  "Green Chrysanthemum, youve come in. Who else is standing guard at the door?" Qiu San Niang threw on her outer clothes and got out of bed, walking to the copper mirror where she picked up a wooden comb and slowly combed her hair.

  Mei Zi walked over to the clothes box, took out a set of Xiang Jin Fen Yun Tao skirt and Bian Di Tuan Hua Chui Jin wide-sleeved robe, and handed them over to Qiu San Niang.

  Qiu Sanniang took a glance and slightly furrowed her brow, "Youre not even going out, why wear something so flashy? Change into another set."

  "Miss, theres a guest by the door, and more than likely theyll ask you to go see Madame Tao. This spring shirt was sent over by Madame Tao just the other day, and once it gets any hotter, it wont be wearable." Mozi lowered her eyebrows and cast down her eyes, still holding onto the clothes, not moving in the slightest.

  Lu Jing thought to herself, Mo Zi is really not afraid of the young ladys temper. If it were her, she wouldnt dare say more. But its strange, every time Mo Zi takes charge, the young lady doesnt say anything.

  "After the festival, you sent it over, really well done, Mother. If I dont wear it, there will be gossip about me." Zhu San Niang smiled with a hint of mockery. "Lu Ju, I know youre uncomfortable standing guard at the door. When I ask you questions in front of others, you dont respond as quickly as before. Otherwise, tomorrow Ill let Bai He stand guard and you can go back inside?"

  Green chrysanthemum suddenly moved, white lotus is a big maid beside the girl, so the girl said this, of course, its a reverse word.

  "Good girl, spare me." She hastily smiled and apologized, taking the comb from Qiu San Niangs hand and skillfully styling her hair, "Just a moment ago, An Ma came knocking on the door, saying she wanted to see you. I told her you were resting in the afternoon, but she insisted that I come in and take a look, and said she could wait. An Ma is an old servant from Madams time, so I didnt dare dismiss her casually, which is why I came in."

  "No wonder you were chattering away in the outer room, disturbing my sleep for a couple of hours." Qiu San Niang was particularly fond of Lu Juans skilled hands when it came to hairdressing. Besides, who would really get angry over such a small matter? The four maidservants in this courtyard could be considered her confidantes. Except for Mo Zi, who had only been with her for half a year, the other three had been by her side since childhood. Not to mention their abilities, they were absolutely trustworthy.

  "Miss, did you hear all that?" Green Chrysanthemums hands didnt stop moving.

  "Vaguely, I only hear your voice." Ju Sanniang said to Lu Juan, but glanced at Mozi from the copper mirror.

  "Miss, judging from what Ans mother said, it seems that there are noble guests arriving."

  "Its really good." Qiu Sanniang smiled again, bright and beautiful like spring light.

  Green Chrysanthemum is puzzled, doesnt understand what the two are whispering about, but she sticks to her duties. She doesnt ask what she shouldnt ask. In terms of cleverness and capability, she is the worst among the four maids. But in terms of following rules, she is the most honest, not cunning or flirtatious, only obeying the young ladys orders.

  After Qiu Sanniangs words, the room suddenly fell silent and no one spoke again.

  Green chrysanthemum finished combing her hair and said "done".

  Qiu Sanniang then said: "Lu Ju, go out and tell An Paozi to wait a little longer, just say Im changing my clothes."

  Green Chrysanthemum hurriedly complied and left.

  Qiu San Niang took the skirt from Mozis hand and put it on herself.

  Mei Zi stood by and watched, without any intention of going forward to serve. Although she had been following Qiu San Niang for a short time, she knew everything that needed to be known, not one bit less than the most meticulous Bai He.

  Qiu San Niang didnt like to let the maidservants attend to her dressing and other personal matters, as she had developed a habit of taking care of herself over the years while traveling for business.

  "When Baihe and Xiaoyi return, you go and investigate clearly." Qiu Sanniang took out a jade token, "If necessary, going out of the mansion is also possible."

  Xiao Yi, another first-class maid beside Qiu San Niang.

  "Dont worry, miss." Mozi took over the jade token and put it into the inner pocket on the side of his waist.

  "Im leaving this to you, and Im naturally at ease. Dont forget what I said when I saved you back then." Without needing anyone to wait on her, Qiu San Niangs movements were very nimble, and she no longer had the delicate weakness of a wealthy young lady from when she first got out of bed.

  "Mozi also said that since Mozis life was saved by the young lady, she must repay her kindness. Whatever concerns the young lady is Mozis own concern, and she will do her best to help. How could Mozi forget? This Miss Qiu San, actually pinched herself awake while she was unconscious, made her sign and stamp, agreeing to become her maid in return for saving her life, only then would she let Xiao Yi go invite a doctor."

  This matter, apart from her, Qiu San Niang and Xiao Yi, only Bai He and Lu Ju thought she was brought back by Qiu San Niang from outside.

  She thus picked up a life, but for Qiū Sān Niáng who had to repay kindness, the feeling of gratitude was not deep.

  She came from a thousand years later with a soul that took freedom for granted, and she didnt really intend to fulfill that contract. From the moment she regained consciousness, she had been thinking of ways to escape repeatedly. But soon, she discovered that her transmigration seemed to be a bit more complicated. She thought it was just her soul crossing into this severely injured body, but after the injury gradually healed, she unexpectedly recalled some fragmented memories from after arriving in this era. They werent residual memories from her original body, but could be completely confirmed as her own personal experiences - from childhood on, some faces, some scenes would occasionally pop up in her mind. Although these memories were real, they were pitifully scarce. Using her common knowledge, she really felt like she had amnesia.

  To put it simply, she could remember everything before crossing over, but couldnt recall what happened from after crossing over to being seriously injured and falling into a coma. Every time she grasped onto a fragment and tried to dig deeper, her head would ache as if it was about to split open.

  Everything went black and she had no idea what was happening around her, so she had to postpone her original plan.

  Qiu San Niang was rescued in a place called Yuling, on the border. She pretended to be from Yuling, saying she had lost her relatives due to war and used the two characters "Mozi" engraved on a pair of earrings in her tattered package as her name. She casually claimed to be eighteen years old and said she didnt want to mention past events again.

  Followed Qiu San Niang for two months, and saw what it means to be a woman who doesnt yield to men. Even if she didnt understand the local customs, Mozi knew that in this era, women going out to do business was extremely rare.

  However, Qiu San Niang has been in business with her father since she was 12 years old, and it has been eight years now. She lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her stepmother Zhang Shi, who did not treat her harshly on the surface but had many tricks up her sleeve in secret. She relied on her clever mouth to win over her fathers affection, so she often went out with him. As a result, she grew up to be selfish and didnt care about the traditional virtues of women. She was very demanding of the maids around her, requiring them to do things for her before considering their status or position.

  So Mozi thought that at least meeting a merchants daughter who didnt care too much about etiquette was better than falling into the hands of a poor household or a noble mansion.

  Because the skills she learned in modern times were not useful, at most excelling in science and mathematics, able to calculate and write, ordinary servant girls didnt know how clever she was, so she quickly gained the favor of Qiu San Niang. Whatever was difficult, it was all handed over to her to handle.

  Lu Ju thought it was the masters trust, while Mozi saw through Qiu Sanniangs intention to squeeze out the medical expenses and medication fees from her.

  Just squeeze then. However, Qiu San Niang is busy from top to bottom, fighting with her mother, brother and sister, competing for family property, hiding private rooms.

  And she, with her braided hair, enjoys the cool shade under the big tree.
