What to do if you receive the wrong package?

Upon hearing the news, Ya Rui turned around and realized that Hua Qingrao was missing. Just as she was looking around for her, she saw Hua Qingrao and Su Yuanming, who should have been at each other's throats, standing together chatting and laughing.

What's wrong with these two?

Not only Ya Rui had this question, but even Su Yuanming's companions were equally puzzled. They had clearly said this morning to stay away from "someone," but in just a short while, they had completely forgotten what they said.

Hua Yin and Su Huaiqi also noticed the gazes of their respective companions. After saying goodbye to each other, they walked towards their companions.

"Tell me, what happened?" Wan Yang nudged Su Yuanming and pointed behind her, asking.

"Oh dear. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. We're all under the same roof, we see each other all the time, it's not good to keep things at odds." Su Huaiqi finally managed to dispel Wan Yang's doubts after much persuasion.

On the other side, Hua Yin also went through a lot of trouble to convince Ya Rui that she and Su Yuanming had really reconciled, and that they had truly reconciled.

Since the announcement by Chaohuang Tower, the courses in each academy have been adjusted to varying degrees, all in the hope that these girls will successfully enter Chaohuang Tower. For several days in a row, the two were unable to meet again.

Su Huaiqi sat on a small stone stool, sometimes massaging his shoulders, sometimes his legs. He muttered softly, "I need to work on my physical fitness."

Actually, she was quite happy to have transmigrated; it would have been even better if she had become a chivalrous woman wandering the world with a sword. However, upon opening her eyes, she found herself directly in the Mingjin Women's Courtyard. Su Huaiqi looked up at the moon and recalled that the night she had just woken up was also a bright, moonlit night. She was immediately drawn to the flickering candlelight, initially thinking it was some mischievous trick by A-Yan. Just as she was about to ask, she heard a strange female voice beside her: "Yuanming, you're awake. Do you feel unwell?"

Hearing this, Su Huaiqi looked up in confusion. Who was Yuanming? She sat up straight and carefully examined everything in the room. Shouldn't she be having dinner at Ayan's house? Where was she? Su Huaiqi was a little confused, but her professionalism quickly calmed her down.

Looking at Su Yuanming who was silent, Wan Yang was a little worried. She took a few steps closer and asked softly, "Yuanming, are you alright?"

Su Huaiqi realized that she and the woman in front of her were the only ones in the room. The cry of "Yuanming" was definitely calling her, but why was it called by that name? Finally, through their strange exchange, Su Huaiqi understood the situation—she had transmigrated, and into the body of a little girl named Su Yuanming. This little girl was the illegitimate granddaughter of the former Grand Tutor Su Li. The woman she was chatting with was her fellow villager, Li Wanyang.

She finally managed to fool Wanyang, but the subsequent performances of singing, dancing, calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony, and chess instantly drove her crazy. This was even more exhausting than police training!

Thankfully, she pulled through and even managed to meet Hua Yin. Thinking about this, I suddenly feel that God has been quite kind to her.

"Oh, what are you thinking about? You seem so happy. You've finished all your assignments for today's class." Hua Yin, who had finally found some time, saw Su Huaiqi grinning foolishly as soon as she arrived at the pavilion in the lake.

Su Huaiqi, who had been all smiles, instantly wilted into a bitter expression. "Don't mention it. If you don't, we're still good friends."

"Haha, I never thought that even we seven fearless men would have times of worry."

"Sigh, I really can't taste any difference between those teas. To me, they're just divided into drinkable and undrinkable ones."

Hua Yin nodded in agreement and added, "My tea ceremony skills are passable, but what worries me most is dancing. Hemiplegia is an illness that needs treatment."

Before Su Huaiqi could answer, a soft laugh came from a corner nearby. Su Huaiqi instantly stood up, shielding Hua Yin behind him, and said loudly, "Since you're here, why not show yourself and speak with us face to face?"

"Okay," the words had barely left her lips when a slender figure emerged from the dimly lit corner beside her. "Captain Su, your vigilance has become less than usual."

Su Huaiqi and Hua Yin exchanged a quick glance. This person knew their modern identities; could he also be one of their "own people"? Hua Yin's heart trembled slightly, and she replied, "I think it's possible that you've hidden yourself too well, young lady. Why don't you come out and join us in raising a cup to the bright moon, making three of us in the moonlight?"

"Luckily, this isn't the Tang Dynasty, otherwise Li Bai would be out of a job." The woman said as she walked towards the center of the pavilion in the lake. The covered walkway was brightly lit, and a beautiful young woman appeared before them.

The woman wore a purple casual outfit from the North Garden, her beautiful hair casually styled in a bun, a few wisps of hair framing her face adding a touch of languid charm. Her eyes were bright and clear, captivating with every smile and gesture. Most importantly, she held a jade pendant identical to theirs in her hand.

"Guess who I am?" the mysterious woman asked, pointing to herself.

"Mysterious Person"

"The monster in the corner"

The two, who already had a guess, simply refused to reveal the correct answer.

"I'm giving you two one last chance. If you keep guessing, I'm leaving." The mysterious woman pointed at the two of them with her jade pendant, giving a slightly fierce "threat."

"Little Fairy"

"Pretty sister"

However, they still didn't play by the rules.

The mysterious woman sighed, seemingly unfazed, and said to herself, "Let's just say these two answers are correct for now. After all, what you said isn't wrong."

"Yueya, confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is not good." Su Huaiqi looked at the little girl in front of him and kindly "reminded" her with a smile.

After saying that, she opened her arms and asked, "Want a hug?"

The little girl, nicknamed "Moon Girl," couldn't hold back any longer and ran over to hug Su Huaiqi and Hua Yin tightly, excitedly saying, "Ahhh, I've finally found you!"

Hua Yin gently patted Yueya's back, "Don't worry, we'll always be here for you."

"Yes, yes, tell us how you recognized us."

Zhou Yuran wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and pretended to sob, saying, "I have always had my two elder sisters in my heart. But alas, my love is unrequited... Mmm..." Before she could finish speaking, Su Huaiqi ruthlessly covered her mouth.

"That's right, we don't need to say anything more."

"Waaaah!" Zhou Yuran looked at Hua Yin pleadingly, hoping she would lend a helping hand.

Hua Yin smiled as she watched the two bickering in front of her, suddenly feeling as if nothing had changed. "Alright, alright, let's get down to business."

After Su Huaiqi put his hand down, Zhou Yuran quickly spat a few times, and spoke again in a more "normal" tone, "I heard it from people in the same courtyard. They said that a few days ago, the mortal enemies from the east and west courtyards were actually sitting together chatting and laughing, and even exchanging jade pendants. As soon as I heard about the 'jade pendants,' I felt something was suspicious. So I quickly inquired about you two. People who used to argue and fight every time they met are now back to normal after falling into the water and waking up. The more I hear, the more I feel that these 'mortal enemies' must be like me, with different souls inside their shells."

"So you came here to stake out the place?" Su Huaiqi asked, arms crossed.

"I originally planned to go to the East and West Gardens to check things out, but I've been having classes every day. My eyes are hurting from embroidery class and homework, so I came out to get some fresh air. I happened to hear you two chatting here, and as soon as I heard it, I confirmed it on the spot," Zhou Yuran said triumphantly.

"I was just praising God for being so kind, and then I ran into this wonderful surprise. I'll keep praising God tomorrow."

“Then I’ll come too. Maybe Mumu and Ayan will show up in a few days too,” Hua Yin quickly raised her hand in agreement.

"By the way, what's your situation now? Let me tell you mine first. My name is Fang Chuyue, the second young lady born out of wedlock to the Minister of Rites. As for how I got here, it seems the original owner just took a nap, and when she opened her eyes, I was the one inside her body." Zhou Yuran shrugged, feeling quite innocent.

"You know our situation. We fell into the water, and when we woke up, we were replaced. My name is now Su Yuanming, the illegitimate granddaughter of Grand Tutor Su."

“I am also born out of wedlock, Hua Qingrao. I am a distant niece of Marquis Qiyuan, otherwise I wouldn’t have been sent here.”

Su Huaiqi pouted and said, "I finally managed to transmigrate, but my status isn't high. In ancient times, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was very important."

Zhou Yuran shook her head and retorted, "It's better to be a concubine's daughter. Haven't you seen that most female protagonists in novels are concubine's daughters?"

Hua Yin said, "That's right, that's right. Who would be willing to send you here if you were a legitimate daughter? If you were a legitimate daughter, you wouldn't be able to see us."

The three exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter. No matter where you are, being with your friends, with you all, will always make you feel most comfortable and at ease.

"Have you ever thought about leaving this place?" Su Huaiqi looked at the moon and asked.

The two who had been exchanging barbs fell silent after hearing this. Su Huaiqi continued, "Actually, I've thought about this for a long time. I want to leave here, not just this girls' academy, but this world. Meeting you all has put my mind at ease, but where are Ayan and Mumu? How are they? This world is unfamiliar to us, what if they…"

"Stop talking, Qiqi, stop talking." Hua Yin hurriedly interrupted Su Huaiqi. She dared not listen to or think any further.

"They'll be alright, Qiqi, you have to believe in Mumu and Ayan." Hua Yin's words were not only directed at Su Huaiqi, but also seemed to be directed at herself.

"Exactly. There aren't many people who can handle them both, so don't scare yourself."

“Since that’s the case, we don’t know how to leave this world yet, but we can set a small goal first: leave this girls’ college!” Zhou Yuran slammed her hand on the table with great enthusiasm and said resolutely.

Hua Yin said, "What else do you know? Tell me quickly!"

Zhou Yuran, a master of gossip and a top source of information, waved to the other two and whispered, "What's the hot topic these days?"

"Ten Thousand Phoenixes Paying Homage to the Phoenix Tower"

Zhou Yuran continued, "That's right! So that's our goal! I've inquired, and only girls who enter the Phoenix Pavilion can leave the girls' academy after a month of study."

Su Huaiqi asked, "What about those who aren't selected? They can't just stay in the women's college forever. What if they're seventy or eighty years old and the women's college supports them too?"

"Let me finish!" Zhou Yuran glared at Su Huaiqi and said, "This girls' academy is just like our modern schools. The enrollment age is 12 or 13. Girls who aren't selected have to stay at the academy until they turn eighteen before they can graduate and leave. So how old are you this year? Are you going to wait until you're eighteen to leave?"

Hua Yin nodded and said knowingly, "So, for now, the Ten Thousand Phoenixes Facing the Phoenix Tower is the fastest way to leave."

Mentioning Chaohuang Tower, all three of them were on the verge of collapse. Su Huaiqi slumped on the table, raised his hand, and said, "I'll try my best. But I can't guarantee it. These classes are really too grueling."

Hua Yin immediately added, "Me too! This is even harder than the college entrance exam."

Zhou Yuran said, "Sigh, the selection won't be announced until the first day of next month, so there are still about twenty days left. Do you think it's too late to start praying now?"

Su Huaiqi said, "It's not too late. Haven't you heard: it's never too late to start now?"

"Qiqi, stop trying to give us feel-good platitudes. Just hope we can cram at the last minute and get something out of it," Hua Yin replied.

"Exactly!" Zhou Yuran agreed. "We've been through postgraduate entrance exams and civil service exams before, what's a little trouble like this? Girls, let's get going!"

Time always flies when you're chatting. In order to get up for class tomorrow, the three of them had to say goodbye for the time being. But they agreed to meet every five days to exchange information and prepare for "entering the building" together!
