Well, that's right. Oleander's accounts are calculated very carefully, to the last cent.

Looking back at the time when I first entered the palace, I was a concubine with a humble status. I was short of money for food, clothing and other expenses, and often felt overwhelmed.

Now, although I have the help of the oleander spirit, many things are going smoothly, but my expenses have also risen sharply and become more and more numerous. Therefore, I need to be more cautious with money matters, striving to increase income and reduce expenditure to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

I figured we would be arriving at Zhen's residence by now, so I told the oleander elf to leave.

The sedan chair slowly stopped, and Aunt Xiao lifted the curtain for me. I stepped out and saw Huanbi standing at the door of Zhen's house waiting for us.

This Huanbi has the same eyebrows and eyes as Zhen Huan, and is often dressed better than other maids.

I saw her green and pink satin dress. The delicate embroidery and smooth lines were much more exquisite than the orange linen dress I was wearing.

It reminds me of the "Floating Light Brocade" incident back then.

That year I only got a few horses, which I regarded as treasures and gave to Zhen Huan with great joy. But she turned around and gave them to her maid Huanbi as rewards. She didn't even think much of my things and didn't take my kindness to heart at all.

I felt a little unhappy when I thought of this scene, but I still smiled as I listened to Liu Zhu's introduction:

"Huanbi and I are both the young lady's personal maid."

At this time, Aunt Xiao sighed as if she had never seen the world:

"Even a maid is dressed so gorgeously, it shows how magnificent the Zhen Mansion is!"

"The young lady is waiting for the young master inside, and the lady is also waiting in the inner hall. Come in quickly."

As Huanbi spoke, she and Liuzhu carried my bag and Aunt Xiao's bag respectively and invited us into the house.

When I entered the inner hall, I saw Zhen Huan again.

I still have to be polite and greet her:

"elder sister......"

Zhen Huan hurried forward and immediately held my hands:

"We are sisters, there is no need to be so polite."

"Lingrong has no relatives or friends in the capital, but she is lucky to have her sister."

"Now that you're here, don't you have relatives and friends?"

Zhen Huan is as eloquent and silver-tongued as ever.

Thinking back to the first time I entered the Zhen Mansion, when I heard you say that, I thought you were genuinely kind to me, and I believed it.

But now, I already know what you will do to me from now on. Being nice to me is nothing more than using me to win your favor. I feel sick when I hear your hypocrisy.

But I couldn't show it. After Huanbi took the stool for me and Aunt Xiao, I continued to exchange pleasantries:

"Lingrong is grateful for her sister's kindness, which has given her a place to live. I have no way to repay this kindness."

"Sister, you're so polite that it makes me feel uneasy. Did you have a smooth journey?"

Liu Zhu took the lead and cleverly described the scene at the inn:

"Just now, when we went to the inn, the owner thought Miss An was a rare commodity and refused to let her go. But I scared him off and sent him away!"

I've always known that Liu Zhu was indeed clever and adorable. It's a shame she died a tragic death, just like her name suggests: she died in the red Liu Zhu.

As usual, I praised Liu Zhu and flattered Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan told me that she was one year older than me and asked me to call her sister.

"Sister," I have always called you that. But on the day you left to see me off, I called you that, but you didn't respond.
