Chapter 541: Chapter 541, Qualified (45 Updates)

Qin Mao pressed her lips together, smiling, quite pleased to have Mu Rourou prepare his medicinal soup.

Xie Yi felt disdain in his heart, but he was quite sincere in his actions, drinking up every bit of the soup that Mu Rourou scooped for him.

Xie Zhinuan watched, smiled, and pressed her lips together.

She never expected that a moment of soft-heartedness would gain her such a treasure.

After dinner, it was time for Xie Zhinuan’s martial arts and boxing practice.

As she practiced martial arts and boxing in the courtyard, Jiao’s wife, Aunt Chen, Chunyu, and Lichun were tidying up the room. A new bed had been purchased; although it was rather expensive, it was brand new. Xie Zhinuan’s room had the most belongings, especially the fabrics which needed to be sorted and stored properly so they could be easily found for personal use or as rewards for the servants.

Chunyu and Lichun could recognize a few big characters, Jiao’s wife knew martial arts but couldn’t read, so the recording tasks had to fall to Aunt Chen.

After Xie Zhinuan finished her boxing and sword practice, several second-class maids and old women had prepared hot water and clothing. After she bathed, Chunyu stepped forward to wipe her hair.

Seeing her adeptness, Xie Zhinuan asked, “Have you done this before?”

“Yes, I served a young miss in my previous master’s house!” Chunyu replied softly.

“Why were you sold?” Xie Zhinuan asked again.

“…”

It was only after Chunyu pursed her lips that she said, “As a part of the dowry, I talked back to the young master a couple of times…”

And thus was sold.

She had done nothing wrong, nor had she any intention of seducing the young master, but the young miss was furious and wanted to sell her off.

She cried and pleaded, but the young miss still had no compassion. After being resold several times, by the time she arrived at Gaocheng County, a madam from the Hook Lane had already eyed her; she was one step away from a life in ruins.

Once in Hook Lane, turning into a courtesan, she would never see the light again, nor ever be able to.

Feeling fortunate to have met a kind master like Xie Zhinuan, and to become the chief maid again, Chunyu was very grateful and naturally meticulous and attentive in her work.

“As long as you are loyal, I won’t sell you arbitrarily!”

Chunyu smiled.

There was no reply, but her eyes shone with unshed tears.

The movements of her hands as she wiped the hair became even more gentle.

Xie Zhinuan picked up a medical book to read for a while and then recite from memory.

To her surprise, Chunyu hadn’t expected the new mistress to memorize medical texts.

Xie Zhinuan read it once, recited it once, and then considered it done. Her hair, now dry and smooth, draped behind her back.

“Aunt Chen, are Ayi and Chuyi staying with the old master tonight?” Xie Zhinuan asked.

“Yes, they just sent word from over there saying the two children have already gone to sleep. But starting tomorrow, they both have to start memorizing medical names. It seems the old master intends to teach them medicine!”

Xie Zhinuan wasn’t surprised, “It’s their good fortune!”

The old master was highly skilled in medicine and it was genuine, unlike her who had the space cheating artifact.

She then said, “Select a few reliable children and have them serve by our side from a young age!”

“Is the young miss planning to train useful people for the young master?” Aunt Chen asked.

“Yes, after all, whether the old master has to teach one child or two, teaching a few more makes no difference, right?” Xie Zhinuan laughed.

Aunt Chen thought about it carefully and then smiled, “Just hope the old master is willing!”

“He will be willing!”

The old master owed her a huge favor; he might be angry, but he wouldn’t stay angry for many days and would get over it on his own.

After all, from the time they met until today, the old master was no stranger to getting frustrated on his own.

“Make sure to pay extra attention to that side, whether it’s their food or their clothing. Everything should focus on their needs, including vegetables, pastries, and the like,” Xie Zhinuan instructed.

Aunt Chen immediately agreed.

Whether as a younger relative, a mother, or Qin Mao’s aunt, Xie Zhinuan was qualified in every role.
