The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Ye Muchen was not asleep at this time either, and Anjia was requesting an audience outside the study.

"come in!"

Anjia entered and bowed first. Ye Muchen asked, "What brings you here so late?"

"Your Highness, a golden-armored guard came tonight! He went to the Princess's courtyard, but was discovered by her shortly afterward and chased away!"

Ye Muchen knew that half of the Golden Armor Guards were under his father's control, but why did his father send the Golden Armor Guards here?

"How did the princess find out? Could she defeat the Golden Armor Guards?"

"I don't know how he found out. The princess chased after him with a kitchen knife, and the man didn't dare to hurt her. In the end, he had no choice but to release a smoke bomb to escape!"

Ye Muchen wanted to laugh when he heard this, and he imagined Jingxue holding a kitchen knife in his mind.

"Alright! I understand. But don't you dare provoke the Princess! Go back now!"

"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"

Ye Muchen's previously gloomy mood inexplicably improved!

Jin Shiyi returned to Yue'an Palace and knelt in the hall all night.

Self-punishment!

The Emperor Emeritus didn't stay in bed today because he was hungry, but as soon as he sat up, Eunuch Xi told him that Jin Shiyi had returned last night and was kneeling there!

"Hehe, so she's been discovered again? Good! This girl is something else!" The Emperor Emeritus began banging on the bedpost.

Eunuch Xi: I want to leave the palace!

After listening to Jin Shiyi's report, the Emperor Emeritus grinned mischievously. "Xiao Xi, after noon they'll go to the Ningguo Duke's mansion. Go and bring Hei Gua back! Also, tell the Empress Dowager to send a nanny to the Zhan Prince's mansion to give her some guidance—no, to instruct her, not exactly, but to serve the Zhan Prince's wife!"

In the morning, Jingxue took Runyue to the newly bought courtyard. They didn't take a carriage. On the way, she tested the little girl on the multiplication tables that the girl had taught her the night before. Runyue stumbled and finally managed to memorize them.

Jingxue then taught her another number poem.

When they arrived at the courtyard, a man in his forties opened the door.

Jingxue showed her key. Lixia had told this person that whoever had the key was the master.

The man said his name was Cheng Sanxiang. Jingxue told him to go about his business and went to check the storeroom herself.

Jingxue left Runyue to guard the door and put the box containing the silver into her spatial storage. Half of the goods she had brought last time were gone, so she replenished the stock by taking out 500 lighters and 300 thermos flasks.

They found two more empty rooms, one filled with flour and the other filled with rice and millet.

Because the courtyard was just across the street from the general store, the two of them strolled over to the store.

On the way, Jingxue took out a handful of pistachios and gave them to Runyue, along with a lighter, telling her not to use it to burn things casually, but only for emergencies.

Watching Runyue stuff things into her arms, Jingxue thought of asking Xiaoman to sew a few small crossbody bags for Runyue and Yingying when she got back, so that it would be convenient to carry some food or something.

Li Xia wasn't in the shop, but she returned shortly afterward, carrying a package.

"Miss, I just bought some things for you. I was thinking of having Chunhong and Lvliu deliver them to the Prince's Mansion later!" After saying that, Lixia patted Runyue's head.

Jingxue told Runyue to find a stool to sit down, then pulled Lixia aside and told her that she had taken the money herself. She also told her how to use the lighter and thermos, and what price she wanted to sell them for!

"At the beginning of summer, I've put some grain in the warehouse. Tell Manager Cai to sell it at the market price, but in limited quantities. That is, each person can only buy a maximum of thirty catties of rice and flour at a time!"

Li Xia immediately understood Jing Xue's meaning and nodded.

"Miss, I'll go and call those two maids over. If you're not satisfied, you can change their names!"

"It doesn't matter whether we change it or not. Is the rouge shop busy? Will their departure affect sales?" Jingxue was still a little worried.

"It's alright, I've been helping out over there these past few days!"

"Lixia, find a blacksmith shop and have him forge me a few daggers, longswords, and broadswords. The world is not peaceful these days, so fight as many as you can!"

Li Xia agreed verbally, but in her heart she was thinking, what is Miss going to do?

Soon Jingxue saw the two maids. Lixia called over the shop assistant and asked him to drive the carriage to take Jingxue and the others back, and then go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. She would go to the warehouse to wait in a while.

Once inside the carriage, Runyue's eyes began to scrutinize the two new maids.

This made them both feel embarrassed, and one of them asked with a smile, "Your name is Runyue, right? Are you Lixia's younger sister?"

"Hmm! You two are called Chun Hong Lü Liu, are you from the brothel? They say people in the brothel all have names like that, red and green, miss, what does a brothel do?"

Jingxue: That unlucky kid is talking nonsense again!

The two maids blushed at what Runyue said, and one of them said, "Our names were given to us by our previous master!"

"Were you originally from a wealthy family?" Jingxue asked.

The one who had spoken earlier replied, "Replying to Miss, I was originally a maid at a security escort agency. I learned some martial arts from everyone there. The lady of that agency wanted me to be her son's concubine, but I refused, so I was sold!"

Another said, "My name is Chunhong. I was originally a maidservant of a wealthy young lady. I was framed by the other maidservants for stealing and was sold by my master!"

Jingxue looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you want to change your names? If you do, I'll change them for you!"

The two maids said in unison, "We want to change!"

"Then Chunhong, you'll be called Zelan! Lvliu, you'll be called Qingdai, how about that?"

"This servant thanks Your Majesty for bestowing upon me a name!"

Back at the Prince's mansion, Jingxue asked Xiaoman to explain the rules to the two maids while she went to give Liu Sanhao an injection.

Liu San felt embarrassed to be taken care of, and even while sitting in a wheelchair, he would rush to do whatever he could.

Seeing that Liu Sanhao was still wearing Li Ma's old clothes, Jingxue slapped her forehead, realizing she had forgotten about it.

It's getting cold soon, so these people need to buy some new clothes. But shouldn't the Prince's Mansion have clothes for the maids?

Don't be in vain!

She went out and called Xiaoman to ask her about the clothes. Xiaoman said that there were basically no maids in the mansion now, and she had never seen any when she walked around. She didn't know if they had any clothes.

Jingxue told her to go find the housekeeper; if there were any clothes available, she could get a few; otherwise, she would have to go out and buy some.

Speaking of clothes, Jingxue thought that the shop assistants should also wear uniforms.

Xiaoman returned quickly, bringing six sets of clothes. She said she only had single-layered ones, and the housekeeper said she would find a tailor to make cotton-padded clothes for them tomorrow.

Jingxue went to the kitchen and took out some vegetables, enough to last for a few days, since there were more people in the yard now.

At noon, I taught the three girls to cook several dishes, and the aroma wafted far out of the yard.

As a result, Jingxue ate too much and hadn't eaten her favorite food in a long time!

"Miss, please take a nap. Your clothes are ready! It will be just the right time for you to shower and change after you wake up!" Xiaoman said as she tidied up.

"This afternoon, Leap Month will come with me to the Duke of Ningguo's mansion to prepare an outfit for her!"
