In her previous life, Qiuyao also exchanged jobs with her two younger sisters. As a result, she angered the manager on the first day she arrived at the laundry.

She had lived a life of luxury since she was a child and didn't know how to wash clothes at all. She just symbolically hit the clothes with a mallet a few times, but the clothes were not washed clean at all. She was severely punished by Nanny Li and was whipped several times. She didn't even get to have dinner.

The work originally assigned to her was not completed, and it fell on everyone in the laundry room, causing public anger.

These sinful women united together, and anyone could step on Qiuyao and her servant. Anyone who saw Qiuyao slacking off again could be beaten up.

This miserable and torturous life lasted only three days, and Qiuyao could not help but go to Zhang to tell her about her experience.

Zhang felt sorry for Qiuyao, but due to the arrangements made by the housekeeper, she could only help to a limited extent. So she and her two concubines stayed up late to do some more embroidery with leftover materials and exchanged them for silver. She also took care of Qiuyao, and only then did Qiuyao's life become better.

In the previous life, when the family was confiscated, Zhang Shi had no money with her, only a hairpin and a pair of earrings. She also gradually prepared these for Qiuyao.

Qiuyao enjoyed the efforts of her mother and concubines as a matter of course, but she also ridiculed them for bowing down for a few pieces of silver and losing the integrity of a lady from a noble family.

Thinking of this, Qiu Ning instructed Yueya and her two younger sisters to pay close attention to Qiuyao's movements in the next few days and to tell her immediately if there was any situation.

Although they didn't know what Qiu Ning was doing, they all nodded and were willing to follow her instructions.

On the first day, Qiuyao was punished by the manager just like in her previous life.

The few whips she was about to receive were all blocked by Xianghe.

Now, Xianghe was injured and her movements were restricted. It was already difficult for her to wash her own clothes, and she had no extra time to help Qiuyao wash clothes.

On the second day, Qiuyao was also punished for not completing the task on time.

On the third day, the unfinished laundry of the master and servant was distributed to everyone, which really caused outrage. Everyone started to trample on Qiuyao and Xianghe. In the end, Xianghe surrendered the only hairpin she had left.

That was a gift from Zhang to Xianghe. She happened to be wearing it on her head when her house was searched, so it was preserved.

Xianghe couldn't help but feel a little regretful at this moment. She should have listened to the second young lady and brought more silver with her.

But the eldest lady was only concerned about her face and demeanor at the time, and brought nothing with her except a zither.

At night, Qiuyao went to look for Zhang with a dead look on her face.

After seeing this, Yueya immediately told Qiu Ning the news.

Although Qiu Ning and his companions had difficulty adapting to the environment at first, with endless toilets to clean, Qiu Ning had already developed a tool for automatically cleaning toilets on his first day.

The method is to tie a dozen brushes on a circle with a large enough radius, then turn the pre-installed handle, and the brushes will start working automatically.

Finally, place a few large buckets filled with water on the ground. When the brushing is almost done, put it into the bucket and wash it again.

In this way, Qiu Ning could clean fifteen toilets at a time with fifteen brushes, while others would have to clean one toilet. This greatly improved his work efficiency. The work that would normally take a whole day was now finished in less than half a day by Qiu Ning.

After seeing Qiu Ning's method, the palace servants who were originally doing the work began to follow suit. Nanny Li also praised Qiu Ning greatly, saying that she had a flexible mind and encouraged everyone to learn from her.

In the remaining time after finishing his work, Qiu Ning began to walk around the Zuifangsi, exploring the terrain, understanding the various managers, and the vacancies in the errands.

In her previous life, although she had stayed in the Sinfangsi for more than a year, she had heavy workload every day and had no extra time to walk around, let alone find a way to leave the palace.

Having a new life, she naturally cannot stay in this prison and wait for death, especially when she knows that Qiuyao will soon marry Prince Yong. At that time, she will use the excuse that her family members are holding her back to drive all the sick people out of the palace and leave them to fend for themselves.

At this time, Yueya suddenly came to report: "Miss, it's just as you expected. Last night, the eldest daughter went to see the lady. I slipped five copper coins to the embroidery room and learned that the eldest daughter seemed to be angry with the lady at first, and her voice was so loud that it could be heard outside the courtyard. But when she left, the eldest daughter and Xianghe were smiling."

Yueya was a little worried. "Miss, do you think Madam really wouldn't secretly give all her money to Miss?"

If that's the case, then once this door is opened, if the eldest lady has any difficulties in the future, won't the lady be bewitched and manipulated by her?

What should I do?

Hearing this, Qiu Ning sneered and said, "As expected. My mother is good in every way except that she's too soft-hearted. She's been completely controlled by Qiu Yao her whole life and can't get hard."

"Since she wants subsidies, let her do it. When they can no longer sustain themselves, we can help them."

Qiu Ning could actually choose to give Zhang a heads-up in advance, reminding her to hold on to her purse strings and not to give Qiu Yao any subsidies.

But she knew that if she did so, Zhang would only think that she was cold and indifferent, unsympathetic to her elder sister, and would not help her.

So she chose to turn a blind eye and let Zhang subsidize Qiuyao and feed Qiuyao's appetite step by step.

When one day Zhang is unable to protect herself and Qiuyao cuts off her financial resources while still mentally attacking Zhang, she will discover how selfish the eldest daughter she has always favored is.

"But I'm worried that the two concubines will also..." Yueya expressed her concerns.

Qiu Ning glanced at Qiu Chan and Qiu Xue who were busy in the distance, and said to Yue Ya, "Go call them over and tell them I have something to say."

After a while, the sisters Qiu Chan and Qiu Xue washed their hands and came to Qiu Ning.

"Second sister called us here, is there something wrong?" Qiu Chan spoke first.

She and Qiuxue had never left the Prime Minister's Mansion since they were young. They thought they would be bullied and harassed here, but they didn't expect that the second sister would invent such a handy tool as soon as she arrived. The two sisters were able to benefit from it and have a hot meal in this Sin Square.

From the bottom of their hearts, they were grateful to Qiu Ning.

Qiu Ning didn't beat around the bush and told them directly that Qiu Yao went to Zhang's place last night and took away the silver from Zhang.

Next, when all the money on Zhang's body is taken away, it will probably be the turn of the two concubines soon.

Qiu Chan and Qiu Xue were panicked when they heard this. They said nervously:

"Second sister, if that's the case, what should we do? I heard that my eldest sister is not having a good time at the laundry and was even punished by the manager yesterday."

"Yes, I also heard that there was a criminal girl who fell ill and had no money to buy medicine. A simple cold took her life..."

As they spoke, they looked at Qiu Ning's expression.
