High-class maid

In the maid's quarters of the Minister's mansion, Shen Xing'er lay alone on the bed.

The sound of cicadas seemed particularly jarring in the quiet night, but she had no mind to feel annoyed; all she felt was that her headache was getting worse.

Shen Xing'er wanted to turn on the light to see what was wrong with her, but found that her head was so sore that she could hardly get up.

Then, a flood of memories that didn't belong to her rushed into her mind.

It turns out she time-traveled, and into the world of her favorite novel.

Could it be that God saw how much she loved reading novels, so He let her experience the power struggles within a wealthy family?

The original owner's name was Shen Xing'er, and she was 12 years old this year. She entered the manor when she was 8 years old.

Because both his parents were servants in the Minister's mansion, the original owner easily (in fact, he also bribed someone) entered the most lucrative and best place in the mansion: the old lady's courtyard.

Despite the fact that the original owner's parents were both born into a family, they arranged for her to do a job sweeping floors. In fact, her parents did this for her own good.

Because she was too young, only 8 years old when she entered the manor, and the original owner was naive, she would have offended countless people if not for her parents' protection.

However, everyone in the household was shrewd, and out of consideration for her parents, they didn't want to antagonize her, so most of them turned a blind eye.

Her mother thought that once her daughter grew a little older and her temper softened, she would buy her a good job.

But in the original owner's eyes, her parents' good intentions were a sign that they didn't love her.

As a result, his relationship with his parents has deteriorated over the years, while his relationship with another major villain, Xiyun, has improved.

Just as Shen Xing'er was still processing the information, Xi Yun heard the noise and quickly got out of bed to go to Shen Xing'er's bedside and said...

"Sister Xing'er, are you feeling better? Why did you suddenly faint?"

Shen Xing'er said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Sister Xiyun. I probably caught a cold from thinking too much."

"I went to the small kitchen and got you a bowl of ginger soup. Remember to close the window when you go to bed at night so you don't catch a cold again."

Xiyun looked at Shen Xing'er with eyes full of tenderness.

"Sister, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'll wait until tomorrow and then go see the physician," Shen Xing'er politely declined.

Xiyun assumed that Shen Xing'er had just woken up and didn't want to pay attention to her, so she didn't take Shen Xing'er's unusual behavior to heart.

"Xing'er, drink it while it's hot. Here, let me feed you?" Xi Yunyun held the bowl and was about to feed Shen Xing'er.

Shen Xing'er dodged to the side, then stood up and took the bowl of ginger soup, saying...

"Your sister has been on duty for a day now, go and rest. I'm fine here."

Xiyun was startled, wondering why Shen Xing'er had suddenly become so polite to her. Didn't she used to hate these flowery words the most?

Why has his temperament changed so much? Did fainting make him suddenly have a brain fart?

But she didn't have time to think it through and hurriedly said...

"After you fainted, I rushed to the First Madam's courtyard to tell your mother, but she didn't come. She's probably busy, or maybe something got in the way. Please don't be angry with her, Sister Xing'er."

"Okay, it's nothing. Go to sleep early," Shen Xing'er replied.

Normally, Shen Xing'er would have already started to criticize her mother in response.

But now she knows that Xiyun is jealous of her and has been trying to sow discord between her and her mother.

On the surface, she was trying to exonerate the original owner's mother, but in reality, every word she said was a complaint that the original owner's mother didn't care about her.

"Hmph, such a young age and such a deep mind. If I hadn't read the original story, I would have been fooled too," Shen Xing'er thought.
