Chapter 2052: Chapter 2054: Worth the Entry

Zhao Xiaohong sighed in agreement, "Right? The mistress is so kind, and it’s really a shame she has to deal with this. She’s now in the room all day, eating vegetarian food and praying for the Eldest Young Master’s blessing."

Just as they were speaking, the canteen door creaked open. Both turned around immediately and saw Granny Li twist her way into the room.

Zhao Xiaohong got up right away and whispered, "I’ll go first. Once you’ve dealt with Granny Li, I’ll come find you to play!"

Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, knowing full well that passing Granny Li’s test was necessary before she could interact with other servants in the manor.

With a bite of the white steamed bun, Xiaoxiao watched as Granny Li approached her, and heard her say, "Eating so slowly, how can you work?"

"..." What does eating slowly have to do with working?

However, upon further thought, Xiaoxiao realized Granny Li was judging her swiftness based on her eating speed.

Xiaoxiao quickly increased her eating pace, stuffed the bun into her mouth, and hugged the bowl to drink cabbage tofu soup.

She finished in no time and immediately stood up, respectfully saying, "Granny Li, I’ve finished eating."

Granny Li didn’t speak, but felt satisfied inwardly, recognizing Xiaoxiao as an obedient one.

She sat down and continued eating her own meal.

Xiaoxiao stood by waiting. Shortly after, Granny Li finished eating and took Xiaoxiao back.

During the walk, Granny Li showed Xiaoxiao the restroom’s location, the place for washing up, and warned her not to wander around without permission, especially in the master’s courtyard.

Xiaoxiao memorized everything, followed Granny Li back, freshened up, and went to sleep.

While laying there, feeling like she was dreaming, Xiaoxiao thought she was quite bold for coming to work as a servant.

Yet she didn’t regret it, because she was about to achieve her purpose soon.

Coming here wasn’t in vain, as she learned from Zhao Xiaohong that the Prime Minister’s wife was in the manor, praying every day for the Eldest Young Master, indicating she didn’t go out.

If Xiaoxiao hadn’t come here and waited outside for the Prime Minister’s wife to leave, it would have taken forever — cool cucumbers would have turned wilted yellow!

She resolved to be more alert tomorrow, to accomplish the task early, and leave faster, so Yang Ming wouldn’t worry.

Meanwhile, Granny Li had already fallen asleep and was snoring, which left Xiaoxiao speechless. Luckily, Xiaoxiao wasn’t picky, being someone who quickly adapts to various conditions.

Thinking about these matters left her troubled and unable to sleep, dozing off in a half-conscious state.

"What time is it? The sun’s already up, yet you’re still not awake. Do you think you’re the mistress of a wealthy family?"

Xiaoxiao groggily opened her eyes, feeling she had just fallen asleep.

She was awoken by Granny Li’s loud voice.

"Stop staring and hurry up." Granny Li threw Xiaoxiao a contemptuous glance again.

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao swiftly got up from the bed, dressed, and folded the quilt efficiently.

She quickly ran to the restroom outside, washed up, moving very fast.

Granny Li watched Xiaoxiao bustling around without hesitation and was pleased.

"Granny Li, I’ve tidied up."

Granny Li nodded, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to the big kitchen."

"Okay."

Thus, Xiaoxiao followed in Granny Li’s footsteps, finally passing through the moon gate that connected the master’s and servants’ courtyards.
