Qin Yuan awoke to her reborn life and discovered her legitimate younger sister (di mei) had also been reborn. Not only did her sister steal her husband from the previous life—the poor Juren (mean...
Hongye said enviously, "What a coincidence that you made it in time."
Cuiming took the account book into the inner room, placed it on the table, and then showed the bracelet to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan's words immediately spurred Ye into action, and she began to diligently follow Qin Yuan as she examined the account books under the lamp.
Cuiming also tried to learn, but she wasn't as quick as Hongye and could only slowly ponder the account book.
Gu Jinghui hadn't returned for over an hour, and Hongye was getting a little anxious, so she asked, "Miss, are you waiting for the young master to retire for the night?"
