Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Xi Qiao has finally settled Chunrong's younger sister, Yu Ying'er, who impersonated Zhen Huan's favorite concubine in the drama.

Thanks to Xi Qiao's advance arrangements, the nannies in the Imperial Household Department who trained the palace maids not only didn't make things difficult for Yu Ying'er, but actually took good care of her. Even the rule that palace maids should have their heads shaved before entering the palace was only symbolically shortened by cutting off a section of hair. The original year-long training for palace maids was even shortened to one month.

Then Xi Qiao put her in the dog-raising area to take care of the cats and dogs.

At the dog kennel, Yu Ying'er was grooming a poodle when she glanced up and saw Xi Qiao carrying a food box. Her eyes lit up immediately.

She tossed aside the comb in her hand, picked up the cuddly poodle, and ran towards her.

"Sister!" Yu Ying'er's big, bright eyes were full of affection and tenderness.

Xi Qiao smiled. Fortunately, although the Yu family hadn't raised her well, they hadn't spoiled her either. After spending time with her these past few days, she had figured out Yu Ying'er's personality: short-sighted, unambitious, and simple-minded.

Fortunately, she was particularly close to and obedient to her older sister, Chunrong.

"Stop," she said, her face hardening with disapproval. "Have you forgotten the rules?"

Yu Ying'er gave a muffled "oh," then changed from running to walking. She leaned closer and tugged at Xi Qiao's sleeve, complaining softly, "You haven't come to see me for three days. I miss you."

Oh, by the way, this girl also has an extreme lack of security.

If she hadn't transmigrated here, Chunrong would already be dead. Yu Ying'er would have suffered a lot in the palace without anyone to protect her, without money to bribe, and without the ability to establish herself.

When she had suffered and endured hardship, and then encountered an opportunity in Yimei Garden to change her social class and rise to a higher position, she naturally wouldn't let it go.

Unfortunately, she ultimately lost because of her own temperament.

Arrogant and overbearing when successful, conceited and domineering.

These are all things that could cost her her life.

"I was busy the past few days, and I only had time today."

Xi Qiao's expression softened slightly, and he stopped lecturing her. He waved the food box in his hand at her and said, "I brought you osmanthus cake."

Upon hearing about osmanthus cake, Yu Ying'er immediately smiled, and the two sisters found a place to sit down and talk.

As they talked, the conversation somehow drifted to the currently popular Consort Fang.

Yu Ying'er's eyes revealed longing, and she looked at Xi Qiao with a pleading expression.

"The dog-keeping office is easy, but the monthly salary is low. Sister, could you help me transfer to a palace with a mistress?"

She also asked to go to the Broken Jade Pavilion, just wanting a palace where concubines lived, as long as there were concubines there, she could receive rewards during festivals.

"Not enough monthly allowance?"

Xi Qiao hasn't decided yet how to settle Yu Ying'er's affairs—whether to follow the plot and make her a concubine or wait until she reaches the appropriate age to leave the palace and get married.

Yu Ying'er shook her head. The eunuch in charge of the dog-keeping department took special care of her. Not only did he not deduct her monthly allowance, but he would also give her some melon seeds and snacks from time to time.

But she wanted to save money!

"You really are... I don't even know what to say to you right now."

Xi Qiao was shocked when he learned of her thoughts. This girl was really not very bright. "Do you know how many of those who were selected to enter the palace with you have already started serving?"

Yu Ying'er looked at her blankly, "I don't know, but there shouldn't be many."

On the day she entered the palace, she saw her elder sister standing at the gate of the Imperial Household Department before she even met the head maid. Among the palace maids in the same room, apart from her and two others, the rest of them had their hair almost shaved off.

The head maid was kind to her, but she felt she hadn't learned the rules well enough. However, the head eunuch of the dog-keeping department had already come and personally ordered her to leave.

Xi Qiao didn't expect her to know. This girl was too simple-minded and couldn't think of so many social niceties. "Do you know how much favors and money I spent to help you get out of the Imperial Household Department sooner and suffer less?"

Three hundred taels!

Fortunately, she received a thousand taels of gold from the system, which greatly replenished her savings; otherwise, she would have been heartbroken.
