Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

Ma Xiner's entry into the mansion went smoothly. After she entered, she was arranged to do laundry in the backyard.

There were five maids, including her, washing clothes in the backyard. The clothes they needed to wash were all those of the concubines and concubines in the mansion.

To put it bluntly, concubines are just higher in status than ordinary maids, and are also servants of proper masters. Unless they are particularly favored by the Duke, they will receive some special treatment. Other concubines in the mansion only have a maid to serve them.

A concubine's status is higher than that of a concubine. After all, she is the daughter of the Duke and also the master. However, the rules of the mansion are such that they are only equipped with one maid to serve them personally and one old woman to clean the yard.

Therefore, the concubines' daughters' clothes were also left to them to wash.

Before Ma Xiner came, two people were responsible for the young lady's clothes, and two people were responsible for the aunt's clothes. After she came, she was assigned to the group that washed clothes for the aunt.

In fact, she was only responsible for the clothes of the concubine who came into the mansion last year. The reason why she was only responsible for one person was because this concubine was very special. First of all, she was the most favored concubine of the Duke.

Secondly, because she was favored, or because she was born into a merchant family with very little money, she had the most clothes. This concubine would easily change clothes according to her mood or the weather, and she would change at least three sets of clothes a day.

It's okay in the summer, but in the winter, this aunt took into consideration that clothes are not easy to dry, so she was a little more frugal. Even if she was frugal, she would only wash one set of clothes a day, sometimes two sets. Often, the clothes would be hung out to dry after being washed, and then wet clothes would be hung up again.

Ma Xiner was new here, so naturally she was assigned to such a difficult master to serve.

After putting down her bag, Ma Xiner was taken by the manager to work. In this cold winter, washing clothes is definitely an extremely hard job.

If it were a month ago, she would not be able to bear it at all, but now, compared to that home, she felt like she was in heaven.

She walked to the well, rubbed her hands, and prepared to work. There was a large wooden basin next to the well, which was used for washing clothes. To be precise, this basin was only used by her. Other people's basins were smaller than hers and easier to take away, but this basin was too big, so it was just left there.

She laboriously drew water from the well and poured it into the basin, then soaked the clothes in the water and began to scrub them carefully. She actually thought it was good to wash clothes for this aunt. Others thought there were too many clothes, but this aunt changed clothes diligently and she was also very clean, so her clothes could be said to be the easiest to wash.

Ma Xiner was washing clothes diligently. Although her hands were numb from the cold, her heart was burning with joy.

The source of this scorching heat was half an hour ago, when they had just entered the mansion and the steward was taking them to familiarize themselves with the Duke's Mansion.

The purpose of taking them for a walk is actually very simple. The first is to tell them where they can go so that they don't wander around and bring bad things upon themselves. The second is that the master may temporarily ask people around to go somewhere to do something. If they don't know the place, it is easy to delay the work, which is also fatal.

It was also at that time that she saw him...

At that time, he was about to leave the house, and the steward led them to pay his respects to him. She heard the man's pleasant voice and bravely took a look at the man's appearance. She swore that she only dared to take a quick look, and it was just a quick glance, which made her heart start to beat wildly and her face quickly turned red.

The man looked at least 80% similar to the idol she liked in the past. Ma Xiner almost couldn't control her heartbeat. She lowered her head and took a deep breath, and saw the clothes the man was wearing. The overall color was mainly white, and it looked clean and simple, with only a few bamboo leaves embroidered on the cuffs.

She guessed that this person was exactly like the gentle and graceful second male lead in the novel.

That’s right, the manager calls him the eldest master. Ma Xiner is a little worried. Why is he the male protagonist?

She finally met someone who moved her so much, but how come he was the male protagonist, and the female protagonist's childhood sweetheart...

However, she did not worry for long. After all, she followed her aunt to change the fate of the first half of her life.

Moreover, she had never thought of following the original plot from the beginning. She didn't think so before because she was a bystander who only paid attention to the heroine and the hero. Now she is the supporting female role. Ever since she knew that she was the supporting female role, she decided to change the fate of the supporting female role. Anyway, she is the best friend of the heroine, so she might as well choose a better one. She must get rid of her slave status. She never thought about being with that servant. No matter what, he is still a slave.

Now...

She got excited again. Why must the male protagonist be the female protagonist? She is a time-traveling girl, so she is so much better than the female protagonist. Aren’t there many novels where the male protagonist ends up being with the time-traveling girl and giving up the original female protagonist?

If they can do it, she can do it too. Why should she marry a servant in the end? Even if the servant becomes the chief executive of the Duke's Mansion, so what? Can he compare to the male protagonist who becomes the Duke in the end?

Ma Xiner was still planning to replace Ning Jiaoer as the female lead, while Cheng Jinchu also arrived at his destination in a shaky carriage.

After arriving, Sun Manman ignored her. Before leaving, she kindly told her that she could appreciate the plum blossoms everywhere, and then ran happily to talk to her little sisters.

But just as Sun Manman left, Cheng Jinchu and Yunzhi were taken by Princess Anle's maid to a room next to the tea room and sat down.

When Cheng Jinchu entered the room, there was no one inside. The room was extremely small, with only a table and a futon in it. There was a small pot of charcoal fire next to the table. For safety reasons, the window was opened a little bit.

"Girl, please take a rest here. The princess said she would invite you to go to the theater later."

After the little maid brought Cheng Jinchu into the house, she left quickly. Cheng Jinchu yawned. She had listened to Chengzi talking about some people's stories yesterday and had a great time eating melons. She went to bed very late. Now she could hardly open her eyes.

So she simply fell asleep on the table. Yunzhi heard that the princess had specially prepared delicious snacks, so she ran to get them for Cheng Jinchu.

Cheng Jinchu was awakened by the sound of many people talking. Mixed in with the noisy voices were sounds of crying. The crying sounded aggrieved. The people around him kept comforting him in soft voices.

Cheng Jinchu had just woken up and was a little dazed. She saw the maid who had brought her here before coming over. She put a pink dress at the door and left.

Cheng Jinchu took a few deep breaths. It seemed that the princess was reminding her that it was time to go on stage. However, she really couldn't bear to leave such a warm place and wear such warm clothes. She touched her thick coat reluctantly, feeling a little hesitant.

[Chu Chu, bear with me for a moment. Look, the princess has asked the maid to prepare a hot water bottle and put it next to the clothes.]

Of course Cheng Jinchu saw it, but what’s the use of a hot water bottle? It’s still cold.

[Orange, by the way, do you have a hot pack? ]

[No, Chuchu, please complete the tasks quickly. The more tasks you complete, the more Orange can be upgraded, and you will be able to help Chuchu better in the future! ]

Of course Cheng Jinchu knew this, that is, everything is difficult at the beginning!

But Cheng Jinchu was a man who could do great things. Even though she refused in her heart, she still changed her clothes and put on the fox fur cloak prepared by the princess, which made her feel a little warmer.

She touched the cloak and felt very happy. At least she was not too cold. She also thought that she was worthy of being a member of the royal family. The things she used were not only beautiful but also warm.

When Cheng Jinchu appeared, many people gathered in one place. She walked through the crowd and saw Sun Manman holding the fake daughter.

I also saw the man standing on the other side of the fake daughter, who was dressed decently and looked pretty. The man was staring at the fake daughter who was crying in Sun Manman's arms with a distressed look on his face.

At this moment, Cheng Jinchu felt a little nauseous and queasy...

Also, Sun Manman was crying, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Cheng Jinchu felt a little disgusted. She thought Sun Manman should not be a stepmother but a biological mother, as she could be so into the role.

It wasn't just Sun Manman who was immersed in the play. There were also women around who were wiping their tears, and while doing so they were speaking up for the fake daughter.
