Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

"No," Su Lan said, trying to stop her. She couldn't say that the other person was the heroine. If they killed her now, it would cause the small world to collapse. She could only make up a lie and say, "This person still has secrets. I still need to dig out a few, but please rest assured, Your Highness, I'm watching in secret and will definitely not let her turn over."

As a native, Nalan Rongruo was naturally curious about how this soul from another world came to the Great Dynasty, so he acquiesced to her behavior.

However, Nalan Rongruo would not let her go easily. He learned the other party's name and whereabouts from Su Lan, and sent a maid to the palace to make some arrangements. Lord Chu said that as long as the person was not killed, she would teach him a lesson first to vent her anger.

As for Lord Chu, the Third Princess also valued this powerful aide very much, and ordered her servants to open up a quiet courtyard for Su Lan in the princess's mansion for her to live in.

Not only that, she also specifically instructed the housekeeper to treat Su Lan well, especially in terms of food, and to pay more attention to some small details. For example, Su Lan likes to eat seafood such as fish and shrimp, as well as various meat products, so in the daily meal arrangement, she should try her best to meet her taste preferences.

Just like that, Su Lan had smoothly moved into the quiet courtyard specially prepared for her in the Princess's mansion. At that moment, she was lying comfortably on a specially made "cat scratching board"—actually a large rattan chair—leisurely using her own system to closely observe the heroine's every move.

As expected, after An Jing woke up from the maid's room in the laundry department, she did not commit suicide or cry out in despair as Jin Ling had expected.

On the contrary, she behaved extremely calmly, with eyes as deep as a cold pond, quietly sizing up the surrounding environment.

After searching for a long time, An Jing finally found a worn bronze mirror in the corner. She stumbled over and held it up with trembling hands.

When the image in the mirror gradually became clear, An Jing couldn't help but take a breath - the face that came into view was so ordinary, simple and elegant.

"Damn it..." An Jing bit her lower lip, her heart boiling with resentment. Why had that person so cruelly taken away everything that belonged to her? She slowly lowered the mirror, her fingers involuntarily gripping the bed, as if that was the only way to ease the pain and anger within her.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through An Jing's mind: Could she be the black cat in the novel that repays a favor? Once this speculation emerged, it spread like wildfire.

The more An Jing thought about it, the more possible it seemed. After all, with the cat demon's scheming and means, it wasn't completely impossible for him to do such a thing.

Moreover, if it was really the Black Cat, then Chu Lan and Nalan Rongruo would have already recognized each other. In this case, it would be logical for them to join forces to deal with him.

"No, I absolutely cannot sit here and wait for death! I must come up with a plan to break this situation..." An Jing gritted her teeth. At this moment, she was like a beast trapped in a cage. Although she was temporarily at a disadvantage, the stubbornness of a time traveler who refused to succumb to fate made her refuse to give up the fight.

That’s right! The male protagonist and the supporting actors… Even though I’m currently just an ordinary-looking palace maid, so what?

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared! For example, the future powerful official, Lord Feng Yan, may not be a minister of industry at present, but his potential cannot be underestimated.

And at this very moment, he happened to be worried about the vexing problem of water control. Hey, isn't this a great opportunity for me to show my talent?

As long as I can successfully offer him a brilliant plan and help him overcome the current difficulties, then with my intelligence and cleverness, it should not be difficult for me to ask the emperor to grant me the position of a county lady in the name of a talented woman.

After that was accomplished, I could then gradually move on to the other male supporting characters. As for the ultimate goal, it would naturally be the almighty and noble male protagonist, Wang Qingchen.

Humph, once I've taken them all into my grasp, won't the entire Great Dynasty be under my control, allowing me to roam freely and unfettered? Hahahaha...

Just as she was quietly and happily immersed in her perfect plan, suddenly, she heard a loud "bang" and the next moment, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open without any warning.

Then, a figure flashed into the house as fast as the wind. An Jing took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp. The person who came was a fat old woman with a face full of flesh and a ferocious look.

This maid's name was Zhang Lin, and she was one of the maids in charge of the daily affairs of the laundry department. Any maid who committed an offense would be sent to her for strict discipline and punishment.

At this time, Nanny Zhang Lin strode forward without saying a word, stretched out a strong and powerful hand, and effortlessly dragged An Jing off the bed like an eagle catching a chick.

"You're such a stupid little bitch! You've offended Her Royal Highness the Princess and been punished and banished here, yet you still dare to be so blatant and lazy? Do you really think I can't deal with you? Hurry up and get up and work! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Nanny Zhang Lin's eyes were wide open and she shouted at the top of her voice.

An Jing had never witnessed such a horrifying scene in her two lifetimes. She was so frightened that she almost cried out loud, but in the end she forced herself to hold back the tears.

She silently encouraged herself in her heart: This is just a temporary humiliation. When she successfully escapes from the laundry bureau, she will make that hateful old woman pay the price!

Matron Zhang was a seasoned veteran, so how could she not see what An Jing was thinking? She reached out mercilessly, grabbed An Jing's ear, and yanked it hard. An Jing screamed in pain and begged for mercy, but the matron turned a deaf ear to her and dragged her to the three enormous wooden tubs before stopping.

"These are filled with the dirty clothes of the eunuchs in the Jingshifang. From now on, they are all your responsibility to wash! Pay close attention and wash them carefully, otherwise you will be in trouble!" Nanny Zhang warned viciously.

After she finished speaking, she turned to the maids who were busy washing clothes nearby and gave them an order: "Remember, if this girl named Jing'er doesn't finish washing these three large basins of clothes, she won't be allowed to eat tonight. You have to help me keep a close eye on her!"

Upon hearing this, the young palace maids trembled with fear and nodded in agreement hurriedly, fearing that they would accidentally anger Aunt Zhang and get implicated.

Yet, An Jing still stood there, frozen in place, as if petrified, unable to move. She simply couldn't accept what was happening before her eyes. She was a time traveler, supposed to be the heroine of a story, treated like a star, yet why had she been reduced to washing the stinking clothes of those dead eunuchs?

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing sound rang out! The originally quiet environment was instantly broken, and only a scream of "Ah" was heard. She turned around in shock, only to find that Aunt Zhang behind her had not left as she had expected. Instead, she was holding a long whip and lashing at her mercilessly.

Faced with this sudden attack, she felt helpless, yet she knew resistance would only bring harsher punishment. So, she obediently squatted down, carefully lifted the heavy bucket, and slowly poured the water into the wooden basin beside her. Then, she imitated the movements of the other palace maids and began scrubbing the clothes in an orderly manner.

Seeing her obedience, Nanny Zhang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of pride. She casually put away the whip, then raised her eyebrows and glanced at the surrounding palace maids with disdain, thinking to herself: Humph, there has never been a palace maid in this laundry department that I can't discipline! Thinking of this, she twisted her fat and bloated body with satisfaction and swaggered towards the courtyard gate.

However, just as she reached the courtyard gate, she suddenly saw the Second Princess's personal maid, Luluo, hurrying towards her. Seeing this, Nanny Zhang quickly quickened her pace to greet her, smiling broadly and asking, "Hey, Miss Luluo, what brings you here? Do you have any important instructions for me?"
