The Qin family nodded in approval, and Jiang Wan took the opportunity to take her leave.

But just as she walked out of Jun Yutang for a short distance, Jiang Shu angrily chased after her.

"Little Wan!" What do you mean? " Jiang Shu rushed in front of Jiang Wan in one breath, blocking her way.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Shu's newly made Serpentis Plum Cloak, and adjusted the gray crane silk cloak that hadn't changed in tens of thousands of years, thinking to herself how cold the sky was.

"Stop pretending!" Jiang Shu pushed Jiang Wan away in dissatisfaction. "Why did you drag me along to copy the scripture with you? You clearly know that I hate writing letters!"

"What does Fifth Sister mean by this? Aren't you very much in favor of copying the Buddhist scriptures for Old Lady Li? "And as an elder sister, I'll give you six and four …" Jiang Wan swept a glance at the nearby Jun Yutang and pretended to be very surprised at Jiang Shu. She immediately choked up and said, "If little sister feels that it really can't be completed, why don't you tell mother about it earlier … "In case that day comes and we are unable to hand over our Buddhist scriptures, we might even miss out on our mother's plans …"

Isn't it just acting weak and pitiful? You really don't dare to bully me, Jiang Wan?

Jiang Wan wiped away the tears that did not exist on her face, then prepared to lead Jiang Shu to the Qin family.

It's not that I, Jiang Wan, can't complete the mission now, the one who objects is your precious daughter, Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu had only come out to vent her anger after the Qin family's failure to find trouble with Jiang Wan. She naturally knew that she would not be able to obtain any benefits from returning to Jun Yutang.

Hence, she stomped her foot in anger, turned around, and ran towards the Pure Heart Pavilion.

Clove, who had always been by Jiang Wan's side, looked around, and after discovering that there was no one around, she dared to whisper to Jiang Wan, "Fourth Miss, are you really going to copy out that scripture within ten days?"

Jiang Wan nodded.

Regardless of the purpose of the Qin family, this was still a chance for her to show her face. If she didn't show her hand in front of those madams and mistresses, perhaps no one would remember that there was a person called "Jiang Wan" in the capital city.

"How about Jasmine and I help young miss copy a little …" Although she was also very afraid of copying scriptures, the moment she thought about how her young miss was going to fight alone, she could not help but suggest.

"No need." Jiang Wan looked at Clove and gave a shallow smile. In her previous life, she had relied on this to pass her time, and Little Kaifeng's hairpin skill had long since reached perfection.

She joked, "Your handwriting is so ugly, I'm afraid that my wife will find it when I copy it."

"Fourth Miss!" "What time is it now that you still have the time to turn your back on us?!" Clove glared at Jiang Wan unhappily.

Jiang Wan smiled as she shook her head, grabbed onto Clove's shoulder and said, "In these ten days, the three of you will serve me well and eat well every day. Other than copying scriptures, I don't need to be distracted anymore. Can you do it?"

Seeing the confident look on her young mistress' face, LingLing could only nod her head dumbly.

Since Fourth Miss was already so confident, she didn't want to meddle in other people's business anymore.

"Oh, that's right. I've just told my wife that I'll have to trouble her mother with preparing the lakeshore, calligraphy paper, and insignia for this book. Also, I need to light the lamp oil for tonight …" Jiang Wan counted with her fingers, smiled, and winked at Lilac, "These are all good stuff, take this opportunity to get some."

While Clove nodded in agreement, Jiang Wan began to calculate in her mind how to copy this sixty percent of the < Endless Longevity Scripture >, in order to complete the task within the set time.

However, thinking of the carefree days they would not need to pay their respects in exchange for that, this transaction did not seem to be a loss at all.

That night, Mother Du brought everything she wanted along with her. She even brought two taels of West Lake Longjing.

"These are for Fourth Miss's refreshment." Mama Du said to Jiang Wan with a face full of smiles, "I won't be disturbing Fourth Miss's rest here. If there's anything else, just send someone to find me."

After sending off Mother Du, Jiang Wan thought of what Zhao Susu had said. As long as the Master went to her room, the Qin would definitely send someone to deliver tea.

Only, he hadn't thought that he would receive such treatment.

She laughed at herself.

On the second day, when the first day arrived, Jiang Wan woke up. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she sat by the window and started to pick up the scriptures. By the time she reached the light, her entire right elbow was too sore to lift.

Jiang Wan had no choice but to put down her pen and stand up to move her slightly sore elbow.

She had been too optimistic about the workload. Was she really going to let Clove and the others join in as well? However, their handwriting was no different from a beginner's. It was really inconvenient to copy out Buddhist scriptures.

For a moment, she was troubled.

"What are you doing?" It was unknown when Xiao Rui came in through the window and saw that Jiang Wan's desk was covered with paper. She suddenly opened her mouth and asked, startling Jiang Wan.

"When did you come in?" Jiang Wan looked at Xiao Rui who was dressed in night attire, glanced at Han Li and company who were sewing in a room at the other end of the room, and asked in a low voice.

Fortunately, he didn't like having people around him when he was copying the scriptures, so he sent his mother and the others back to their own rooms. If they were accompanying him right now, what would happen?

"I've been inside for a while." When Xiao Rui saw Jiang Wan, he couldn't help but smile, his dark eyes full of joy. He placed a small, flat gift box on Jiang Wan's desk and asked in confusion, "You still haven't told me what you're doing?"

Jiang Wan sighed and told the Qin family about asking her to copy the Buddhist scriptures to give people as a birthday present.

"Within ten days?" Xiao Rui slightly raised her brows, taking a sip from the teacup Jiang Wan had placed on the table, but frowning.

This was the tea that he had used before. Furthermore, it was already cold, so how could he possibly …

Forget it, he didn't care about it anymore. He could just pretend that he didn't see anything.

"It hasn't been ten days!" Jiang Wan mumbled to herself, then turned her still sore right shoulder, "I've been plotting for the whole day, I suspect that my entire elbow will hurt so much tomorrow that I can't even lift it."

Xiao Rui Xuan picked up the < Endless Longevity Scripture > book, and with the help of the octagonal palace lamp on the desk, he casually flipped through it, and his brows furrowed even more as he browsed through it.

"Don't copy it tomorrow!" Xiao Rui said with a serious expression.

"No?" Jiang Wan looked at him in disbelief, "If I don't copy it, how am I going to report ten days later?"

"You don't need to care about that. Three days later, I will bring you a copy of the < Infinite Longevity Scripture >." As she spoke, Xiao Rui pulled out a few copies of Jiang Wan's Buddhist scriptures from the desk, folded them and put them into her clothes.

Looking at Xiao Rui Xuan's expression, which showed that he couldn't be refused, Jiang Wan guessed that he was going to help her find a 'gunner'?
