Of course, Xiu Ning's natural beauty, inherited from De Bao and Fu Cha, is already there. Taking pills can only enhance her beauty. So expecting Xiu Ning to undergo a dramatic transformation and become a stunning beauty is basically impossible. With current technology, anything that violates the bottom line of humanity cannot be achieved.

However, Xiu Ning's transformation was stunning to the entire Xitala clan, since neither Xitala Debao nor Fucha were particularly handsome or beautiful.

Moreover, it has only been a few decades since the Manchus entered the Central Plains. Including the selection of concubines for the imperial harem, family background is generally the main factor. Appearance is not a necessary consideration. So don't expect that all the concubines who enter the palace will be great beauties. As Xiu Ning grows up, she will definitely win the emperor's favor when she enters the palace.

Xiu Ning was very satisfied with her current appearance and kept looking at herself in the bronze mirror. She might not have left if Chun Yu hadn't urged her to.

"What's the rush? Mother didn't mention me going there any earlier yesterday," could it be that something big happened at Xitala's house that she doesn't know about?

"Reporting to Your Highness, I heard that Concubine Qiu, who serves the Master, is pregnant. Madam wants Your Highness to go there quickly because, as the mistress of the mansion, Your Highness is required to give rewards to the concubines and servants on a regular basis."

On the way to the main courtyard, Chunyu and Xiuning discussed the major events that had occurred at the mansion.

After listening to Chunyu finish speaking, Xiuning nodded to indicate that she understood, though she was also somewhat speechless.

Having been here for more than half a year, Xiuning had already adapted to this feudal society. She would occasionally see several of her father's concubines and maids in the main courtyard.

Well, how should I put it? There's a strong sense of pettiness about them. Even if they have children, the kids they raise all sound the same way, as if saying one more word would make them faint.

It was only after coming here that Xiuning realized how low the status of concubines was in ancient times. Those noble concubines who were hired from outside the family were alright, but those who had their own concubines by the master's side were even worse off than servants.

Having witnessed these timid and submissive concubines, Xiu Ning really couldn't understand why anyone would want to travel back to this era. Did they find it enjoyable to be tormented?

Sigh, if it weren't for the chance to lure her with multiplied points crystals, Xiu Ning, a transmigrator who has experienced many ups and downs, wouldn't have liked coming here. This shows how much people despise such a feudal society.

Just as Xiuning was pondering, the two of them successfully arrived at the main courtyard where Fucha lived.

After informing the maid guarding the gate, Xiu Ning walked to Fucha's side with a smile.

"Mother~"

The childish voice was especially pleasant to use when she was being coquettish. Xiu Ning leaned half of her body obediently on Fucha's shoulder, tilting her head to look at the woman who was looking at the account book in her hand.

The woman wasn't particularly beautiful, but she possessed a unique charm that was hard to describe, yet instantly captivating.

"You're here. How was breakfast?" Fucha didn't put down the account book in her hand, but patiently looked at it. However, she used her free hand to touch Xiuning's head and smooth it back and forth.

"I ate well. I had half a bowl of rice porridge this morning and a small plate of steamed buns," Xiu Ning told Fu Cha about her breakfast.

Upon hearing this, Lady Fucha smiled. No wonder her daughter had grown so quickly in the past six months; it turned out that her gluttony had caused the problem.

"Go sit down for a while, I'll talk to you after I've finished reading this," she said, patting Xiu Ning's shoulder. Xiu Ning quickly moved away from Fucha's side and sat down on the cushioned couch with the help of her maid.

Since it wasn't the first or fifteenth of the month, nor was it a holiday, Fucha didn't have many accounts to review. After reading the delivered account books, she handed them to a maidservant beside her. Fucha then picked up a teacup, took a sip of warm tea, and said, "Your father's concubine, Aunt Qiu, only recently started serving him. She's lucky to be pregnant, but her status is too low. Even after the child is born, she won't be able to become a proper concubine."

"When you return in a while, there will be a gift sent by someone. Just make sure you don't make any mistakes in your etiquette."

The implication is that this person is not worth paying attention to.

"What about Father?" Her father seemed to like Aunt Qiu, who was of Han Chinese descent, quite a bit, and he had heard that he had given her a lot of rewards.

“Your father has always been sensible and knows his limits. These arrangements were brought up to me by him this morning,” Fucha said with a smile, her expression calm as if she were talking about nothing.

Xiu Ning was speechless with astonishment; it turned out her biological father really was a scumbag.
