Wan Qiqi suddenly tugged at her clothes, looking at the maid warily.
Then she remembered that this was Madam Taoran's maid, and hurriedly said, "I'm not used to being served, you can leave now!"
The maid did not insist, saying, "I will wait at the door. Just call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Wan Qiqi glanced around and continued, "Go get an empty basin, a big one!"
Wan Qiqi washed off the mud before soaking herself in the bathtub.
The warm current battled against the chill within my body, leaving my limbs feeling tingly and numb.

This is the kind of person that Miss Bai, from a prominent family, would take a fancy to, and someone in the capital is forcing her to enter officialdom!
Wan Qiqi always thought that scheming and power struggles were only in TV dramas.
Now she truly understands how difficult life was in ancient times.

Imperial power was supreme; this was ancient times!
