This Xiao Cui looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was not scheming and had confessed everything before the interrogation.

It was an expected outcome.

Xiao Lianyi waved her hand at Qing Zhu with a frustrated expression, “Beat her up twenty times and sell her.”

The culprit had already been found, but Xiao Lianyi didn’t have any intention of asking about it. After all, they were mother and daughter for ten years.

Although Qing Zhu felt that the Eldest Princess’ actions were unfair to Chi Yang, she didn’t say anything.

Qing Zhu agreed and was about to press Xiao Cui down when Chi Yang stopped her.

“Aunt, wait a minute. This servant girl is a disaster to whoever she is sold to. It’s better to give her some money and send her home.”

Qing Zhu looked at Chi Yang and hesitated.

Selling was just to put it nicely. A little servant girl could be beaten to death with twenty strokes. There was no need to sell her at all.

‘I wonder if the Young Miss knows.’

Seeing Qing Zhu’s hesitation, although Xiao Lianyi was unwilling, she was also willing to give Chi Yang a face.

She could only nod.

This meant that she didn’t even need to hit the girl.

After this matter was settled, Xiao Lianyi left behind the four maidservants whom she had chosen for Chi Yang.

The four maidservants had the same double-ringed bun and the same moon-colored pleated Confucian skirt.

The beautiful one was called Mo Qin, the smart one was called Mo Qi, the calm and dignified one was called Mo Shu, and the cute and mischievous one was called Mo Hua.

Qin, Qi, Shuhua.

Music, chess, calligraphy.

Her mother had high expectations for her.

However, it had to be said that after these four people came to her courtyard, they managed to tidy up the place in just one afternoon. The lazy servant girls below them also became diligent.

Xiao Lianyi was having dinner at Autumn Pavilion, so only she and Xiao Lianyi ate the delicacies on the table.

During this time, Chi Yang asked about the father, Chi Yi, whom she had not seen since she transmigrated.

She heard from Xiao Lianyi that Chi Yi had received the imperial edict and brought a troop of soldiers to the north to suppress some bandits on some mountain.

It was not hard to imagine why this dynasty was replaced by Shen Jue.

That was to say, this dignified assistant minister, the head of civil officials, and the emperor actually sent him to suppress bandits!

…

That night, Chi Yang, who had eaten too much, lay in bed and couldn’t fall asleep.

When will Shen Jue send someone to deliver the medicine?

She was tired from waiting.

Chi Yang yawned and decided to sit down and wait.

At this moment, a woman wearing a moonlit pleated traditional dress walked over with a bowl in her hand.

This must be the person Shen Juan sent for.

The woman placed the bowl on the table and bowed to Chi Yang, “This servant is called Shi Jian and is here to serve the young lady under the orders of the prince. From now on, this servant will listen to you.”

It meant that Shi Jian would be hers in the future.

However, is it really good for you to introduce yourself like this?

Chi Yang looked worriedly at Shi Jian.

The attendant felt Chi Yang’s dumbfounded gaze and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

“The prince ordered this servant to tell you that his name is Shen Jue.”

“Oh,” It turned out that she had been ordered to reveal himself to her.

However, it was a little strange. The original character from the book still thought that Shen Jue was a poor scholar until she died. Shen Jue was such a cautious person, but he actually told her his family name.

But overall, the feeling of being trusted was not bad.

“Then this servant will help you take the medicine?” Shi Jian asked.

“Alright,”

After taking the medicine, Chi Yang slept until dawn.

Shi Jian had indeed done her best for Chi Yang, guarding her for half the night. It was only when Chi Yang realized that she was guarding her in a half-asleep state that she let her sleep with the four Mos in the side room.

Early in the morning, Chi Yang woke up to wash up and dress up.

However, Shi Jian wasn’t good at combing her hair.

The new attendant stared at her hands in disbelief.

Her hands could even learn the most difficult swordsmanship, so why couldn’t she comb the hair that the Young Miss wanted?

The four Mos had known about Shi Jian’s existence last night. The Sword Servant said that she had no one to rely on. It was the Young Miss who saved her, so she decided to follow the Young Miss.

The four Mos firmly believed in her words and even felt pity for the attendant.

At this moment, Mo Shu looked at Shi Jian who was staring at the Young Miss’s hair in a daze, and said with a smile, “You haven’t learned these things before. Let me do it.”

The attendant nodded and retreated to the side, watching Mo Shu’s movement without blinking.

The Young Miss was many times better than the prince. She must become the best servant girl on the Young Miss’ side and strive not to return to the prince’s side!
