In only a month, Baili Mingxiang had transformed into somebody reborn. Han Yunxi had the faint impression that it wasn’t just her looks that had changed, but something in her heart as well. As soon as she left the house, Baili Mingxiang bowed and said, “This servant greets esteemed wangfei.”

This…

Although she’d agreed to have Baili Mingxiang as a servant here after the latter recovered, the reality still took Han Yunxi by surprise. Even Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu, standing on the side, were unused to the change. Han Yunxi approached Baili Mingxiang and walked around her in a circle, her heart filled with emotions as she examined the girl. Finally she pulled the woman up with her own hands and murmured, “I won’t say anything else, just the same old words. If you want to leave one day, just go. I won’t force you to stay.”

“This servant will remember,” Baili Mingxiang murmured back.

Since this was the situation now, Han Yunxi simple accepted. As luck would have it, she needed an assistant anyways and told Baili Mingxiang as much before. After coming in contact with poisons for so many years, the woman was sure to catch onto their qualities. She would be easier to teach than either of her other servants.

“Zhao mama, clear out one of the rooms downstairs for Mingxiang, then take her around to familiarize herself with the environment here,” Han Yunxi instructed.

Zhao mama liked Baili Mingxiang very much, so she had Su Xiaoyu do the cleaning while she took Baili Mingxiang for a personal tour. When Grand Concubine Yi was in charge, the Duke of Qin’s estate was full of strict and complicated regulations. Not only the estate, but each separate courtyard had its own system of rules and customs. Even the laundry rooms had their own laws. However, everything became much simpler once esteemed wangfei took the helm. To quote their mistress, “Anything’s fine as long as your words and actions don’t lose face for the Duke of Qin’s estate.”

Zhao mama took Baili Mingxiang all around until finally returning to the Hibiscus Courtyard. “Miss Mingxiang, you’ll be walking around this courtyard in the future, but we won’t disturb it today.”

Zhao mama then pointed at His Highness Duke of Qin’s quarters. “That’s His Highness’s living quarters. Without His Highness’s or esteemed wangfei’s permission, nobody is allowed to enter.”

“Mingxiang will remember. Zhao mama, you can just call me Mingxiang in the future,” Baili Mingxiang replied.
