I thought all night and unknowingly fell asleep.

The next day, sunlight streamed in through the gauze window, and the maid Cui Lu was knocking on the door:

"Miss, I've brought hot water for you to wash your face."

I groggily opened my eyes, "Coming."

I got out of bed, put on my shoes, and walked over to open the door.

Before long, a girl with narrow shoulders entered from outside, it was my personal maid Cui Lu.

This maid was quite pretty, dressed in a set of dark green satin jacket, with a pair of gold leaf earrings on her ears, which I rewarded her with when she first came to me.

Cui Lu held a copper basin in her hands and smiled, "Miss, you slept soundly. The master stood outside your door all night yesterday and didn't wake you up."

I wiped my face with a warm towel, "Feeling a bit feverish, overslept."

As I spoke, I glanced at Cui Lu.

In my past life, my aunt brought me from my maternal home to tightly control me, she schemed to send away all the old servants I brought from my mother's family, and she assigned Cui Lu to me, ostensibly to serve me but actually to monitor me closely.

To gain my trust, she even gave me this maid's contract.

When I was young, I truly believed that Cui Lu served me faithfully, while the other maids received half the salary, I gave Cui Lu five taels a month.

Not only that, I continuously rewarded her with jewelry and clothes, she cried and said I treated her like my own parents, and she would be loyal to me for life.

But what was the result?

After my face was ruined by boiling oil, she pretended to patiently serve me, but secretly added finely ground chili powder to my burn ointment, causing my face to ache unbearably, I couldn't sleep peacefully for a moment.

My face festered, causing a high fever, she was greatly responsible for it!

Even when I was half-conscious, she sat in front of me, smugly mocking, "Ji Wanwan, with your stupidity, do you even deserve to marry the master? Do you know that every bowl of food and every cup of tea you ate, I spat into them."

After my death, she offered herself to Cui Anren, saying that I treated her like a sister during my lifetime, and mentioned that I wanted her to be a concubine for Cui Anren.

Cui Anren felt guilty towards me and reluctantly accepted.

Thinking of all this, I couldn't help but sneer.

Cui Lu looked at me puzzled, "Miss, why are you laughing?"

I raised my eyebrows, "I dreamt of a she-wolf last night, surprisingly speaking human language."

Cui Lu: "That's really strange."

"Yes." I sat in front of the dressing table, carefully drawing my eyebrows, "Prepare some incense paper, let's go to the temple and burn incense."
