In the Fuzhen Courtyard, the gray-haired and regal old madam was reclining on a soft couch, twirling some prayer beads with her left hand and resting with her eyes closed.

Two young maids, one on the left and one on the right, were massaging her shoulder and legs. Smoke from burning sandalwood incense on a round table transformed into puffs of ethereal clouds in the air.

At that moment, an old maidservant trotted in from outside before she silently curtseyed before the old madam with reverence.

The old madam narrowed her eyes, and there was a visible sharp glint. But it quickly faded away within a second. On the surface, she just seemed like an old woman in her 50s.

However, this woman, who despite her husband’s early passing, was capable of keeping her young son under protection while she climbed to the highest position in the residence. There was no way that she did not pose any threat.

The old woman waved her hand, and Mrs. Gu stepped forward, whispering something into the old woman’s ears.

The old madam opened her eyes swiftly, rubbed her hands together for a while, and smiled. “Ran is finally beginning to understand things properly after her near-death experience. I already noticed that those two maids around her were disloyal, yet she didn’t have the brain to see through them.”

Mrs. Gu smiled as well. “She still has you to watch her back, doesn’t she? Besides, I think the eldest lady has matured after all this.”

“God have mercy. Her father sees her as an enemy, and her biological brother dislikes her. How will an old woman like me be able to watch her back forever?” The old woman sat up and waved her hand as she sneered, “But I can see that the fourth mistress is getting more and more ambitious. She’s merely a concubine, but just because Chengzhi dotes on her, she tries to ride roughshod over the legitimate daughter!” 

“It’s time to teach them a lesson. Flog those two maids who betrayed their master 50 times each. Send them to the fourth mistress’ residence afterward.”

Mrs. Gu nodded her head in agreement at once, then she hurried off to carry out the order.

The next day, Su Kui slowly opened her eyes as the morning light grew brighter.

While she stretched comfortably, her silk blanket slipped off, revealing her slender waist and snow-white skin.

It was a wonderful view of a sleepy beauty. Holding a washbasin at her feet, the little maid who had been arranged to fill the vacancy on short notice was mesmerized by her for a minute.

Su Kui threw the maid a sideways glance with her gorgeous eyes and said, “What are you waiting for? Come and help me freshen up.”

“Yes, forgive me, Milady. Right away.” The maid returned to her senses and obeyed immediately. She broke out in a cold sweat as she thought about how she managed to space out in front of the eldest lady. She hoped that the eldest lady would not take it to heart and punish her.

After a series of dressing, gargling, face wiping, and grooming, the little maid was surprised to find that the eldest lady was not as scary as the other maids had described in private.

The eldest lady did not even punish her when she pulled out a strand of her hair while she was combing it.

The little maid heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she could not help but peer at Su Kui in secret. The more she looked, the prettier the eldest lady seemed to her, but it was a pity… 

Sigh.

Despite Su Kui’s stern face, she actually noticed everything and found it amusing. That was the effect she wanted. Changing bit by bit, she would subtly let those around her to get used to the new her.

After she was done dressing up, Su Kui looked at herself in the mirror, thinking that her vessel had great features. Her cat-like eyes were big and round, while her skin was fair and her lips pink. Although she was still young, it was foreseeable that she would become stunningly beautiful in the future.

Su Kui fell into deep thought…

If riding on someone’s coattails did not work out, perhaps setting up a honey trap to seduce a man could be considered as well…

Once everything was set, Su Kui brought her maids, as well as her old maidservants along, and departed to the old madam’s Fuzhen Courtyard.

If she wanted to gain favor, she had to start with the “doll”!

Su Kui initially thought that she had been early enough, but when she turned into the courtyard, she saw a beautiful woman and two other young ladies already standing in the main yard.
