Best friends dressed up in ancient times to become mistresses? You run, I run too!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan Yan subconsciously frowned.

Women are such a hassle. If he hadn't been in the wrong and taken her body, he would never have wanted to look at such a foolish, spoiled, and domineering woman.

That's it.

"Those two old women... never mind, keep them for now. Continue to have people keep an eye on the villa, and report to me every day if anything happens."

"Yes."

The guard acknowledged and turned to disappear from the spot.

……

Practice makes perfect, and today is Shen Ningzhu's third day cleaning the chamber pot.

The skinny, monkey-like man who used a whip to supervise her on the first day and called her a poisonous woman has disappeared. He has never been seen or heard from since, as if he had vanished suddenly.

Granny Wang and Granny Li never came again, perhaps they were fooled by her rhetoric.

However, the promised change of clothes, shoes, socks, and toiletries have already been delivered, which is good. From now on, we can keep to ourselves.

She could also forgive and forget about the insults and pinching she received.

No one bothered her, and Shen Ningzhu was happy to be left alone.

As for the chamber pots, there are only twenty or thirty a day, which isn't much, and they're all quite clean. It's easy to finish a day's work.

During these three days, the Crown Prince did not set foot in the villa. Over time, Shen Ningzhu became familiar with the maids in the back courtyard. When they saw her cleaning the chamber pot, they would come over to chat with her when they weren't busy, and some would even help her fetch water or something.

The meals delivered each day were getting better and better.

Shen Ningzhu was puzzled, so she slipped some silver to the other party and inquired about the matter. She learned that it was Wang Mama and Li Mama who had given the order.

Those two were the only elderly people allowed to serve in the front yard. As soon as these words were spoken, the well-informed people in the mansion quickly started to get excited.

And so, the current situation came about.

Shen Ningzhu curled her lips. Fine, she'll just lie low for now and get through this month safely. Then she'll pack up and leave. Who will remember who she is then?

Shen Ningzhu carried a bucket and drew water from the well while thinking.

At this moment, she stood gracefully by the well, half of the setting sun's afterglow draped over her shoulders and scattered across her body, enveloping her in a golden glow.

The woman was slender and graceful, with delicate oval face and skin as white as jade, as fair as snow.

Her bright, clear eyes sparkled like a dewdrop on a peony in the early morning—crystal clear, charming and captivating.

Viewed from the side, what is most striking is her slender waist, tightly bound by a belt, so thin that it seems as if it could be easily broken with a little force.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, a dreamlike halo surrounded her, making her already fair skin and beautiful face appear even more like a fairy from a painting, as if she were about to ascend to heaven at any moment.

As soon as Jiang Xuanyan entered, he saw her dazzling beauty from afar, and his heart skipped a beat. A ripple quietly stirred in a part of his body that had never been disturbed before.

After realizing what was happening, Jiang Xuan Yan clenched his fist tightly in his sleeve and closed his eyes to quickly suppress the inexplicable tremor in his heart.

This feeling was unfamiliar and strange. Jiang Xuan Yan didn't know what it was, but he subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing, so he deliberately suppressed it.

He is the crown prince, the heir apparent, and controlling his emotions has been a compulsory course for him since childhood.

Having adhered to the rules for many years, these had become habits, deeply ingrained in his bones. He believed that nothing in this world could make him lose his composure.

Until that unfamiliar feeling came over me.
