After Nianxia entered Zhongcui Palace, she simply did her cleaning duties diligently every day and didn't talk to many people.

That day, Lady Fucha got up and happened to see Nianxia sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the corridor.

She chuckled softly, then turned and went inside. Cai Xiang followed behind her, somewhat bewildered.

“Caixiang, you’re asking an old woman to help Nianxia. From now on, she’s one of our own, so we can’t let her suffer!” Fucha said in front of Nianxia.

Cai Xiang curtsied and immediately went out. She saw Nian Xia sweeping fallen leaves by herself, so she went to call the maid, Liu Mama.

Originally, Liu Mama was a lowly servant in Zhongcui Palace, but in order to make the act more convincing, she was sent to another place, and it was said to outsiders that Liu Mama had returned to her hometown.

After sweeping up the fallen leaves, Nianxia took a bucket to the latrine and started scrubbing the chamber pot.

When Cai Xiang brought Liu's mother over, Nian Xia had only just started cleaning a little bit.

Seeing them coming over, they thought they needed to relieve themselves, so they hurriedly sped up.

Seeing Nianxia like this, Caixiang quickly pulled her up, and Liu's mother, being very perceptive, took over the work from Nianxia's hands.

"Aunt Liu, you can leave it, I'll do it!" Nianxia panicked a little when she saw Aunt Liu washing the chamber pot for her.

Originally, she just wanted to do her job well and didn't think about anything else.

“Little sister, Aunt Liu is here to help you. Don’t worry, this is something a noble person has agreed to.” Cai Xiang patted Nian Xia’s hand, signaling her to relax, but when she thought about what was on her hands, she couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.

"Your esteemed father sees you getting up before dawn every day to sweep and clean, and he feels sorry for you. So he asked me to take you to take a bath and rest. Sister, just come with me without worry!" Cai Xiang pulled Nian Xia away without further ado.

Nianxia took a shower and changed into the clothes Caixiang brought, but upon closer inspection, there was still a lingering odor. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

Cai Xiang had been to Jingjun before, so she naturally knew what was going on, and she comforted Nianxia.

“Sister, don’t worry. I have some spices here, which were specially given to you by a noble person. She knows that you’ve been in the Jingjun for a long time and must be feeling a bit uncomfortable. These are top-quality spices. Just dab a little on your body with your fingertip and you can cover up the smell.” As Cai Xiang spoke, she took out an exquisite gold box with a plum blossom design from her sleeve. Judging from the box itself, it was clearly a high-quality item.

Nianxia's nose suddenly felt sore.

She couldn't hold back her tears.

“Sister Caixiang, thank you. No one has ever been so kind to me since I was sent to the Jingjun. I thought I would never get out of here in this lifetime,” Nianxia cried out all the tears she couldn’t hold back.

"Sister, you should be thanking someone else, not me. I was just following orders. These were all orders from my benefactor!"

Nianxia was very surprised. She didn't expect that Consort Fucha would be so kind to her. She looked at the main hall where Consort Fucha lived very seriously and said, "Sister, I will never forget Consort Fucha's kindness to me. I will definitely repay Consort Fucha. Even if I have to be a slave, I will not refuse!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiang burst out laughing.

"Forget about repaying or not, as long as you do your job well, that's enough for your benefactor to have helped you in vain. We can talk about the rest later."

Although Cai Xiang said that, it was because she knew that a noble person wouldn't trust someone so easily.
