Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

"Yanxi, are you awake?"

There was a knock on the door.

Yan Xi opened the door and saw the person coming. Her gentle willow-leaf eyes were filled with a smile:

"Madam Zhou, you're here so early. Can you have breakfast?"

The person who came was Zhou Pan, the nanny beside the old lady. She had been with the old lady for decades and was highly valued.

At this moment, two little maids with double buns followed behind her, each holding a wooden tray with some breakfast on it.

When Zhou Pan heard the door being knocked, a hint of surprise flashed across his serious face:

"You said I got up early, but you got up early today. I've had breakfast, and these are for you. After breakfast, I'll take you to the government office to cancel your slavery. When you come back, pack your things, and I'll take you to see the young lady in the afternoon."

She waved her hand and the two maids placed the wooden plates in their hands on the small table in the room.

"Thank you, Ma'am."

Yan Xi was ecstatic, but she knew that she couldn't be too hasty, so she ate her breakfast in a dignified manner, rinsed her mouth, and followed Nanny Zhou to the government office.

With the title of Shangshu, things were done smoothly.

Yan Xi's heart, which had been floating in the air, finally settled down.

From today on, she will have the same status as ordinary people in the capital, and in two years, she will be able to regain her freedom completely.

Yan Xi took a deep breath, looked at Nanny Zhou who was about to leave, and said:

"Mammy, I packed my things yesterday. If you have time now, why don't you take me to see the young lady?"

Nanny Zhou glanced at Yanxi and didn't say much, but she silently felt a little more favorable towards her in her heart.

Although both of them served the old lady in the past, they had different identities and were responsible for different things. They had met each other several times but had never had any in-depth contact or understanding.

Zhou Pan heard that there was a little girl who behaved properly and served her master loyally. Today he saw that she was indeed a good girl.

Packing your luggage is just a small thing, but it can reflect the big picture.

Just because your master gives you time to pack your things doesn't mean you can take half a day to do so.

Even if she is not a slave now, in the eyes of the master, you have to execute her orders immediately without delay.

Yan Xi packed her luggage in advance and was ready to be arranged at any time, which was what her master liked most.

When we arrived at the yard where Ji Youran lived, the owner of the yard was reading an interesting storybook.

She couldn't do any strenuous exercise, so she liked to read stories about things she had never done.

"Greetings to the young lady."

Nanny Zhou entered the inner room and bowed to the woman sitting by the window. Yanxi lowered her eyes and bowed as well.

"Madame Zhou, why are you here in such hot weather? Is there something wrong with Grandmother?"

The soft voice was very pleasant to the ear, but there was always a hint of weakness in it.

Madam Zhou told her everything the old lady had said.

"Miss Youran, the old lady said that there is only one mistress in the Beijing Marquis's Mansion, and she is a princess, so I'm afraid there will be more rules than other places. If you marry into the Marquis's Mansion, it would be good to have someone by your side to give you some advice."

When talking about marrying into the Beijing Marquis' Mansion, Ji Youran's face flushed with shyness.

Her mother had mentioned this to her a few days ago, about the cheerful and cheerful young man in Beijing Marquis Mansion.

She was willing to marry him even if there were many people watching her and she was bullied by her princess mother-in-law.

"Is that the girl behind me? What's your name? Lift your head so I can see."

Yan Xi looked up at the sound of the voice and saw clearly the appearance of the young lady in the mansion.

She has a palm-sized face, thin eyebrows and round eyes, which makes her look somewhat pretty. However, her cheeks are pale and her lips are a little pale, which makes her look more delicate.

Her long black hair was draped behind her. Even though it was a hot day, she was wearing several layers of clothes, which made her look even more fragile and like a sick beauty.

"Miss, my name is Yanxi."

"She looks like a sensible and polite person. Since it is a kind gift from my grandmother, I will naturally accept it. Shuangtao, arrange a good place for her to live."

Ji Youran covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, then looked at Madam Zhou apologetically:

"I wanted to keep you here for a while, but my body is not strong enough, so I won't keep you here any longer. I don't know about Miss Yanxi's indenture..."

She certainly couldn't treat the person sent by her grandmother harshly, but she was not very happy about being watched by a maid all the time.

If I could get hold of the bond, I would feel less constrained.

Ji Youran cast a glance behind her, and the maid in pink took a few steps forward, ready to take the indenture from Nanny Zhou.

"Ah, this," Madam Zhou paused and said with a smile:

"Yanxi is different from other maids. She sold herself to enter the mansion, and her indenture only lasted until she was 22 years old."

Ji Youran was a little surprised. She had never noticed that there was such a person around her grandmother.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that in two years she will be restored to a good status and no longer be a slave in the mansion?

It doesn't matter.

Ji Youran quickly convinced himself that at most he could let her go after two years.

But soon, she was shocked again.

"Because she was coming to the young lady's place, the old lady specially cancelled her indenture in advance. But young lady, don't worry. Miss Yanxi is trusted by the old lady and will definitely not ignore her master just because she doesn't have an indenture."

"She also obeys your orders. You give her one part of the monthly salary, and the old lady will give her another part."

Before Ji Youran could recover from the previous sentence, she heard about her grandmother's subsidy for the monthly allowance. She raised the importance of Yan Xi in her mind and said:

"Madame Zhou, you are joking. Since Miss Yanxi has come to my house, why should I bother you, Grandmother, to give her money? It's just double the monthly salary, I can still afford it."

"Then Miss, I will go back and report to the old lady."

Nanny Zhou bowed and said goodbye.

"Shanxue, go and see Madam off."

A maid in blue came out and sent Madam Zhou out the door with a gentle smile.

"Miss, what should we do with this person?"

The pink-dressed maid who returned to Ji Youran frowned and was not very fond of this sudden colleague.

She was originally the head maid of the old lady. Now that she came to Ji Youran's place, her position must not be lower than before.

"Grandmother won't deliberately embarrass me. She should really just remind me occasionally. So, Fenhe, you go find Shuangtao later. She will be treated the same as you and become my top maid."

"She definitely can't be assigned to do those odd jobs, so let her embroider my wedding veil. Occasionally let her make tea and do some light work. For now... For now, don't let her get too close to my bedroom."

"promise."

Fenhe felt relieved after hearing what her master said.

This person cannot be provoked. Her monthly salary is higher than theirs, but one thing is for sure: she is destined not to gain the trust of her master.

This made Fenhe, Shanxue and Shuangtao, the three first-class maids who had always been following Ji Youran, feel relieved.
