Tang Wan didn't say much, but followed the remaining three people to the south wing. As soon as she opened the door, a moldy and damp smell mixed with some rotten smell hit her in the face.
Tang Wan had anticipated this result a long time ago, but she couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment. Winter is coming soon, and it will be wet, damp and cold. It would be strange if people don't get sick.
Chunya, who was arranged to be with her, said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Wanwan. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have clashed with them."
The other two girls were furious: "Chun Ya, why are you apologizing to her? If she hadn't offended Aunt Xia Zhi's niece, we wouldn't have been assigned here."
The girl who was speaking had slightly dark skin, a short stature and an extremely ordinary appearance. Only her eyes were black and bright, making her look a little more pretty.
"That's right, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't be here." The man who agreed had a pair of slanted eyes, thin lips, and high cheekbones. He looked difficult to get along with.
Tang Wan seemed to know them. The other two, the one with darker skin was called Yueying, and the one with slanted eyes was called Qiuxia. Tang Wan didn't want to argue with them, so she ignored them and went straight into the house.
Seeing this, Chunya froze in place. Qiuxia and Yueying noticed that she was in a bad mood and started to belittle her: "Chunya, Tang Wan is too much. You were kind enough to speak up for her, but she treated you like this."
Chunya's expression softened a bit, and she spoke softly, "Maybe Wanwan is just in a bad mood. I don't blame her."
Qiuxia curled her lips, somewhat disdainful of Chunya's behavior. Yueying was very angry for her: "What's so great about it? She really thinks she is a rich lady. She is so heartless and doesn't know how to be grateful. We won't play with her anymore."
Tang Wan listened to the sound outside the door with a calm expression on her face. She was indeed a child, and her words were so childish.
After cleaning silently, she made her bed. She was too tired today after running all the way, and she just wanted to rest and go to bed early.
7758 was a little puzzled: "Host, why don't you make some friends? You can cultivate them into confidants in the future, isn't that good?"
Tang Wan thought the little white cat in front of her was so silly it was a little cute. She smiled faintly and explained, "7758, people are always greedy. The maids who used to work with them are now the masters who are high above them. Who can guarantee that they won't be jealous?"
7758 seemed to understand: "Okay, host, I trust your decision. After all, I'm not human, so I don't really understand these things."
Tang Wan smiled and said nothing more. She just closed her eyes, covered herself with the quilt and rested.
What she didn't say was that she felt malice from Chunya. She was too familiar with that kind of malice. In her previous life, when she was bullied in high school, the girl was very nice to her at first, but later she started asking Tang Wan to help bring her meals.
Actually, this is nothing, but she never gave money. Tang Wan thought that they were all friends, so she didn't want to make things too awkward. But later, the girl became more and more excessive, and the things she wanted to bring became more and more expensive. When Tang Wan really couldn't bear it anymore and was about to starve, she tactfully proposed to pay back the money, but who knew that the girl suddenly turned hostile.
Not only did he lead the entire class to isolate her, he also slandered her for stealing money. Tang Wan felt very sad at the time and felt that she had lost her only good friend. Later, when she came to her senses, she realized that she had actually been pua.
That's why she was extra cautious now. She sighed imperceptibly, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
On the second day, before daybreak, everyone was woken up by the aunt in charge. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the three people who lived with her stayed away from her when washing, as if isolating her.
In her previous life, Tang Wan had at least lived to be an adult woman in her thirties, so she wouldn't be hurt by these little kids' tricks.
She changed into the pink palace dress she had received yesterday, combed her hair into a bun like a low-ranking palace maid, and walked out of the room.
Today was the first day of teaching the rules. Tang Wan arrived the earliest. She was dressed neatly and had her hair combed nicely. It seemed that she understood the rules and was also very skillful. The leading Nanny Cui nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but give Tang Wan an approving smile.
Tang Wan nodded slightly and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant. Matron Cui was even more satisfied. She was not timid, and her appearance was a little ordinary, but this made the master in the palace feel more at ease.
Xia Zhi silently clenched her fists, and in her heart she despised her as a little bitch who loved to show off. It was strange, in the past few years, she only disliked those pretty girls, so why did she dislike this ordinary Tang Wan?
Of course, she wasn't jealous, she just couldn't stand the coquettish look of those women.
Then, Xia Zhi seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it quickly disappeared, and she stood respectfully behind Aunt Cui.
Tang Wan didn't know what she was laughing at at first, but she soon understood that Aunt Cui had other things to do and couldn't stay here forever. After Aunt Cui left, Xia Zhi didn't even pretend anymore and was openly targeting Tang Wan.
No matter how good Tang Wan's manners were or how standard her posture was, she turned a blind eye and asked her to hold the teacup and pour hot water into it, calling it exercise. Tang Wan remained calm. The water was very hot, but not to the point of scalding her.
Later, the water got hotter and hotter, and when the pain became unbearable, she asked 7758 to block the pain. 7758 was heartbroken, "Host, you could have asked me to block it from the beginning. Why did you do this? It must be very painful, right?"
"Be good, don't worry, I'm fine. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. If I don't make some scars now, how can I use the self-torture trick in the future?" Tang Wan's face was pale and she forced a smile.
7758 still felt distressed and licked the scar on her hand while floating in the air.
Tang Wan has her own plans. Her target is Xuanyuan Che. Although he is a tyrant, he is extremely protective of his people. When she succeeds in taking the throne, none of these people will be able to escape.
Tang Wan was tormented until midnight when she finally returned home with a pale face and sweat all over her forehead. The other three had already gone to bed. Tang Wan drank the painkiller and instantly felt relaxed all over. She slowly walked out of the room.
It was a clear and cool autumn day, and the evening breeze felt particularly cool on her body. Tang Wan took off her disguise and quietly sneaked into the osmanthus forest.
"Xiaobai, are you sure Xuanyuan Che will really come?" Xiaobai is the name Tang Wan gave to 7758. 7758 said he liked it very much and happily decided to change his name to Xiaobai from now on.
Xiaobai flicked his tail and raised his chin slightly: "Host, don't worry about me. Xuanyuan Che is about ten meters away from here. You can start now."
Tang Wan immediately knelt on the ground, closed her eyes, and clasped her hands together: "Bodhisattva, please bless me. I wish my parents good health, peace and prosperity for the people of Dazhao, longevity and health for Your Majesty, and a full stomach every day. Bodhisattva, please listen to my wish."
"You are sincere."
