Shen Yan walked into the house and saw a girl dressed as a maid cleaning the table for her.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house?" Shen Yan asked.

"Miss, you are back." The girl put down the rag in her hand and walked to Shen Yan, "My servant Qiu Yu has met the eldest lady."

"This slave is sent by the eldest princess to serve the eldest lady. From now on, this slave will be the maid of the eldest lady."

"Miss, are you tired? Sit down and let me pour you a cup of tea."

Qiu Yu took the box from Shen Yan's hand and put it on the table, then poured Shen Yan another cup of tea with very quick movements.

Shen Yan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was very fragrant.

"The tea is brewed well." Shen Yan's voice was slightly cold.

Qiu Yu grinned, "As long as the eldest lady likes it."

"There is no tea in my house. Where did this tea come from?" Shen Yan asked.

There was nothing of value in her room. The bed was made of several wooden boards, the table in front of her had a broken leg, and the stool she was sitting on was missing a piece.

"My slave saw some flowers at the back of the yard. Those flowers were edible. I searched all over the house but couldn't find tea leaves, so I used those flowers to make scented tea for the eldest lady." Qiu Yu explained.

"This servant knows that the eldest lady has gone out and will definitely be thirsty when she comes back, so she specially made scented tea and waited for the eldest lady."

Shen Yan looked at Qiu Yu. She looked like Xiaojiabiyu, thin and had lively eyes.

He knows how to use flowers instead of tea, and also makes tea to wait for her, which is very smart.

The house was cleaned spotlessly and diligently.

When he saw her, he immediately identified himself and took the initiative to salute. There was nothing wrong in his words and deeds, and he was very smart.

How could the eldest princess be willing to give such a maid to her?

I'm afraid that the eyeliners installed are not enough.

"Qiu Yu, right?" Shen Yan asked.

Qiu Yu stood aside, "Yes, what are the orders from the eldest lady?"

"My house is very dilapidated. Even I have no food to eat. I am struggling in the house. You will not have a good life following me. You should go back." Shen Yan said.

"Is the eldest lady going to drive this slave away?" The smile on Qiu Yu's face disappeared immediately after hearing this.

"Yes." Shen Yan was also very direct.

Qiu Yu knelt down directly and said, "Miss, please don't send me away. I know you are here at the command of the eldest princess. You don't believe me, but please give me a chance."

"I have already given you a chance." Shen Yan said, "Since you are following me, do your duty well. My people are not required to be capable, the most important thing is loyalty."

Shen Yan looked at Qiu Yu, believing that she was so smart and could understand the meaning of the words.

"In my place, once you betray someone, you will never be spared!" Shen Yan warned.

"Yes, Miss." Qiu Yu suddenly smiled when she saw that Shen Yan agreed to stay.

"Get up." Shen Yan said.

"Yes, Miss." Qiu Yu stood up immediately, "Miss, you haven't eaten yet, please go to the kitchen and bring it to you."

"I've already eaten. You can go on your own. I'm going to rest. You can do it yourself. You can't come into the house without my instructions, and don't disturb me." Shen Yan said.

"Yes, Miss." Qiu Yu looked respectful.

Shen Yan left the snack box behind and brought another box into the house.

Inside the box are the things she went out to buy today.

She entered the room, lit the candle, took out a piece of paper and spread it out.

Then I took out my pen and ink and started drawing.

At this time, night fell.

Qiu Yu casually set up a table outside, then looked at it with a satisfied smile. Tonight, this is where she will sleep.

She looked into the back room and saw that there was no movement, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

By the time she finished her meal, the moon had climbed over the treetops.

She stepped on the moonlight and went straight to Yueyueyuan.

"Eldest Princess, Qiu Yu is here." Dongqing entered the room to report to the eldest princess.

"Let her come in." The eldest princess was eating grapes.

Dongqing went out and brought Qiu Yu in.

"This slave has met the eldest princess." Qiu Yu knelt down and saluted.

The eldest princess asked, "Get up, Shen Yan is back?"

"Yes, eldest princess." Qiu Yu said, "The eldest lady came back with a few boxes. I have seen them. The boxes are full of snacks."

She didn't say that Shen Yan also brought a box into the house.

"Then do you know who she went out with?" the eldest princess asked again.

"I was worried that the eldest lady would become suspicious, so I didn't ask." Qiu Yu said.

"How could that fool be suspicious?" the eldest princess mocked, "She may still think that I asked you to serve her out of kindness."

She despised Shen Yan from the bottom of her heart and felt that dealing with Shen Yan was as easy as crushing an ant, so she ordered Qiu Yu to do eyeliner around Shen Yan.

Qiu Yu is not the most powerful confidant around her.

"Okay, you go back first. Remember to follow her every step of the way. If you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately." The eldest princess ordered.

"Yes, eldest princess, please leave." Qiu Yu stood up, saluted and left.

She walked out of Yaoyueyuan and looked back at the courtyard, with extreme hatred in her eyes, but it was fleeting.

When she returned to Shen Yan's yard, she found that the lights in Shen Yan's room had gone out.

Shen Yan must have fallen asleep, so she walked lightly, walked slowly to her bed, and began to prepare for bed.

Shen Yan in the room suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the movement. Calculating the time, Qiu Yu wouldn't have taken so long if she just went to the kitchen to have a meal.

It seems that she went to report the news.

Shen Yan raised the corner of his mouth and turned his eyes cold, maybe he could pull off the trick.

Silent all night.

The next day, when Shen Yan woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

She opened the door and came out. Qiu Yu had already prepared the face wash for her.

"Miss, you're awake." Qiu Yu smiled.

Shen Yan nodded. She was not used to living like this. In the past, she did all these things by herself.

"Miss, please wash up first and then have some porridge. My servant has already brought you breakfast." Qiu Yu handed the cotton cloth to Shen Yan.

"Okay." Shen Yan's tone was very calm.

The family was supposed to have breakfast together, but Shen Yan was not welcomed by others, so she could only eat it alone in her yard.

Shen Yan sat at the table and looked at the porridge, which was full of water. He could clearly count how many grains of rice there were.
