While hanging clothes to dry, Hongdou secretly observed Qingyin and thought to herself.
Qingyin, her warm hands sinking into the icy water to wash clothes, didn't blink, even though her hands in the water had turned bluish-purple. She wasn't someone who hadn't suffered before; she knew what she had to do, and she also noticed Hongdou's gaze.
To avoid making her face more beautiful, Qingyin deliberately hasn't taken any beauty pills yet, also to avoid attracting the attention of other people in the Red Mansion. Although she is Hongniang's person, Hongniang can protect a skinny, ugly, and rough maid, but that doesn't mean she can protect a beautiful young girl.
Qingyin knew her limits and wasn't in a hurry to improve her living conditions. She would wait until she understood the other path the matchmaker had asked her to choose.
"Alright, you're so skinny, don't wash the clothes by yourself. Otherwise, people will think I'm always bullying you. I'll do it, you hang the clothes up."
Hongdou pushed aside Qingyin and grabbed the clothes from Qingyin's hands, then began to wash them carefully.
Qingyin, who had been pushed aside, glanced helplessly at the awkward Hongdou. Her bruised hands, which had just come out of the cold water, warmed up and gradually returned to normal color.

Hongdou stared blankly, then Qingyin reminded her, "Hongdou, clothes?"

A smile flashed in Qingyin's eyes as she took the opportunity to hang the clothes up to dry.
After accidentally being stunned by Qingyin's red bean, the two of them became noticeably faster at washing clothes. One was embarrassed and just wanted to finish quickly, while the other was simply hungry and wanted to finish as soon as possible, so they also sped up.
With one person washing and another drying, the clothes were quickly washed clean.
In early spring, everything is lush and green.
Just as Qingyin had gotten used to getting up early to wash clothes, Hongdou came from outside to deliver the message that Hongniang wanted to see her.
Qingyin then realized that the day had arrived when the original body had been chosen by Hongniang in its previous life.
Three months had allowed Qingyin to briefly get used to the life of a rough maid, and when she suddenly heard the news, she was still somewhat dazed.
