Wang Yan ran home like a madwoman. The wind was strong that night, and the wind made her head hurt a little again.

This frightened Aunt Wang quite a bit. She stopped cooking the mutton stew and made her a bowl of ginger soup first.

It was at this moment that Wang Ying and Wang Xing stepped into the house. They had sent a message to Aunt Wang earlier asking to come back. Wang Yan didn't know this and was happy to see her older brother and sister jumping on the bed.

"Watch your skin. If you dare to break the bed, I'll give you a good beating."

After saying that, he hurriedly went out to cook. Wang Xing went to chop firewood. He would do more work when he got home.

Wang Ying chuckled and pulled her down to sit, then took a pair of silver cloves and stuck them into her earlobes.

"Even though she's just a young girl, she still needs to be dressed up, otherwise those snobs will probably make fun of her!"

What she said was true. Wang Yan had been looked down upon in the inner courtyard these past two days. Chunlan from the next room saw her in the wet nurse's courtyard the other day and gave her a good sarcastic remark.

She was completely unadorned, except for two hair ties tied together with a double hairpin.

Chunlan herself wore a light blue jacket and skirt, two jade earrings given to her by her wet nurse, and two pearl flowers in her hair. She looked delicate and elegant.

Although she was only a third-class maid, she was well cared for by the wet nurse and never suffered from wind or rain, nor did she lack soup or snacks. Her lips were rosy and her teeth were white.

He has a very sharp tongue, speaks in a scathing manner, and has a mean-spirited air about him.

Wang Yan didn't back down either, giving a firm but firm rebuttal, using the example of the wife's frugality to silence her.

I don't want to think about it anymore. I've finally come home, so I should enjoy it.

Wang Ying was also in a great mood, as she had been promoted back to second-class maid, which was inevitable.

After Liu Xiang'er was promoted to concubine, a vacancy for second-class concubine became available. She loved to enjoy herself, but she dared not let Xingzi and Wang Ying serve her.

The day after she was promoted to a concubine, she begged the Third Master to have the steward bring in another third-class maid to serve her.

Therefore, this second-class vacancy had already been reported to the steward, who said that Mo Yuanyuan himself had promoted a maid.

Xingzi is only nine years old, far too young for the second rank, so only Wang Ying is eligible.

But Liu Xiang'er deliberately held back, planning to raise her rank later, perhaps even until next year? Then she could raise Xingzi's rank. Once the second-class monthly allowance came in, she could keep it. Third Master let her have her way.

Later, when they still couldn't get Wang Yan into the courtyard, Third Master asked a question.

Upon learning that it was Steward Rong who delivered it to the Madam's courtyard, Wang Ying's rank and allowance were restored the very next day.

Liu Xiang'er's plan naturally fell through. Not only did she fail to upset Wang Ying, she also failed to get an extra share of her monthly allowance.

"What good is it for a wicked person to cling to the Third Young Master? She still couldn't block my path to advancement."

He then whispered to Wang Yan, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the Third Young Master is the master; in reality, he doesn't even have as much influence as Steward Rong."

"You've entered the First Madam's courtyard this time; your future is bright. Be careful and clever. If you can gain the First Madam's favor, you'll have finally made it big. Your future will be promising."

Wang Yan nodded with a blank expression, but she knew very well in her heart that she was going to redeem her whole family!

Yingjie thinks she's young, but she thinks Yingjie is young too. She's lived two lives and received such a good education in such a great era!

Gradually reveal the information to her and try to change her mind. Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it. The same goes for her brother.

However, she wanted things to take time, but Aunt Wang went straight to the point, saying, "Your father and I plan to let you redeem yourselves. Be careful with your money and save up enough to ask your master for a favor."

The two were immediately stunned by the news that Wang Da Niang had dropped on them. Why did they suddenly want to redeem themselves? Is it so easy to ask for grace?

Putting aside other things, two years ago, Sister Mu Jin from the Third Young Master's courtyard reached the appropriate age and wanted to ask the Third Young Master to let her go so that she could marry the child she had been betrothed to since childhood.

As a result, Aunt Yang and the Third Young Master said, "Even after entering the mansion, she still misses the outside world. This girl's heart is despicable."

Then he casually sent him to a widower in the master's courtyard who had lost his wife.

It was at that moment that Wang Xing watched from the sidelines, his hands and feet turning cold. For the first time, he was filled with regret, wondering how he could have been so bewitched as to bring his younger sister into the Moyuan Academy.

The family has been trying to transfer their eldest sister out of the manor for two years, but they still haven't made any progress. And now she's about to be redeemed and released?

Where can they find a way in? They owed Manager Rong a favor last time, and they did mention sending the eldest sister away. But the manager didn't take the bait, unwilling to offend Third Master, and only said they would see if an opportunity arose.

"Sigh," Aunt Wang sighed. Three years later, it will be the old lady's sixtieth birthday. That might be an opportunity. If we work things out properly, there is still a good chance of success.

"That's good!" Everyone was stunned. Especially Wang Ying, who, despite her current bluster, was genuinely afraid. What if Liu Xiang'er tripped her up when they arrived at Xu's house?

It's no exaggeration to say that I can't sleep at night whenever I think about it! Now that there's hope, I'm overjoyed.

"Mother, this is my monthly allowance. 200 coins. I'll get 600 coins next month."

Wang Xing also handed over his one tael of silver for the month.

Wang Yan felt a pang of guilt as she watched, gaining a deeper understanding of the distinctions between elders and juniors, legitimate and illegitimate children, and superiors and inferiors in ancient times.

Wang Yan worked in the First Madam's courtyard as a third-class maid, earning 500 coins a month. She brought home more after only half a month's work than her sister earned in a whole month.

"Mom, this is my 250, you can keep it!"

"......,Why!"
