Cheng Tai’s expression remained unchanged. He simply smiled. “In that case, thank you for your trouble, Sister-in-law. I still have some work to do. Please help yourself.”

Zhou Miao was no longer polite. She turned around and was about to open the door and go up to the attic to take a look when Cheng Tai’s voice rang out behind her again. “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to open that door. Because Cheng Heng was locked in there once before, that door is now locked.”

The moment he finished speaking, the door seemed to emit a faint light.

A token?

[Master, the token and smiley faces required for the second stage are ready. Please choose whether you want to enter.]

Zhou Miao let go of the door handle and confirmed with the hamster in her heart.

The place where Zhou Miao woke up from her transmigration this time was actually the bathroom, and she was placed right in front of the mirror.

What was this place?

She looked at herself in the mirror.

It wasn’t a withered flower branch but a great beauty with a curvaceous figure. The blue plaid pajamas that initially lay flat in front of her chest had actually become full. In fact, the pajamas even looked a little too small.

Her hair was like thick seaweed permed into big waves that cascaded down her back, and there was a beauty mole in the middle of her cheek.

This tiny dot added a bit of charm to her already dazzling and gorgeous face.

What was going on? Was this what she really looked like?

She reached out to touch the faucet, but her hand still went through it. Although there was a reflection in the mirror, there was still no physical body.

Where was Cheng Heng now? He should be nearby, right?

Then, she turned around and saw Little Cheng Heng surrounded by bubbles and all kinds of rubber duckies in the bathtub.

He looked a little older than the last time, with a silly mushroom hairstyle, as if he was wearing a helmet. He was submerged in white foam, and only his round head was exposed.

He saw Zhou Miao and moved his lips, but after a long while, he only uttered, “Sister… Sister Angel…”

At this moment, a servant suddenly pushed the door open and barged in. She was a little angry and chided, “Second Young Master, are you done?”

Little Cheng Heng looked at her without saying anything or moving.

The servant cursed as she walked out. “It’s so troublesome to serve an idiot. Even taking a bath is so troublesome. I really don’t understand why the Old Master and Madam threw that idiot to me while they went on a business trip. Seriously!”

“That’s enough, Sister Shuping. Don’t be so calculative with an idiot. It’s a good thing that Madam and the Old Master aren’t around. We can still secretly steal some of the bird’s nest that Madam bought to drink.” Outside the door, a younger maid said.

This was the first time Zhou Miao had seen such an arrogant servant.

Before transmigration, Zhou Miao was also born into a rich family, and no servant dared to treat the master’s family like this.

She walked to the bathtub, took Cheng Heng’s hand, and used it to feel the temperature of the water.

Good grief! They didn’t add hot water. Cheng Heng was so cold that he kept trembling, but his expression was still blank, as if he couldn’t feel the bone-piercing cold.

She couldn’t stand it anymore. She grabbed Cheng Heng’s hand to turn on the hot water tap. She didn’t expect it to turn on, but it seemed she could still do some things through Cheng Heng.

The hot water slowly neutralized the cold water. Cheng Heng’s face gradually recovered its rosiness, but his face seemed to have turned red.

“Clothes…” His voice was still very soft.

So he was shy. Zhou Miao turned around and let Cheng Heng put on his clothes.

After Cheng Heng took his bath, Zhou Miao coaxed him to sleep by singing like before. She was about to go and take a look at the attic that was the token, but when she walked to the second floor, she saw the two servants from earlier.

The older servant was holding a bowl and gobbling down the food. The fragrance of bird’s nest porridge spread out from the dining room.

“Sister Shuping, these are all high-quality goods. It’s good to be rich.” Next to her, the maid who was also eating said.

“That’s right. There’s also the ginseng and cordyceps that Madam prepared for that idiot. They’re all high-quality goods. We’ll eat them tomorrow to nourish our bodies. He doesn’t know anyway.”

“But will the Eldest Young Master…” the maid asked.

Shuping smiled. “Cheng Tai is a scheming kid. I don’t think he treats his younger brother well. After all, he’s just a child that Madam and Old Master adopted from a poor relative of the Cheng family. He’ll probably be a tool to take care of that idiot in the future.”

“So the Eldest Young Master isn’t their biological son. Then we can eat whatever we want. I don’t think he’ll say anything.”

“They’ll be back the day after tomorrow. Let’s hurry up tomorrow night. If we really can’t do it, we’ll lock the idiot in the attic.”

Shuping laughed arrogantly, as if she had already regarded herself as the master of the house.

It seemed like Zhou Miao was tasked to get rid of this old woman this time.

How should she solve this? Should she still use the same method as last time? However, what if Mother Cheng didn’t listen to Cheng Heng when he told her? Would these maids bully little Cheng Heng even more?

She reached the attic as she mulled over these thoughts.
