Watching her mother leaving in a hurry, An Lingrong gave a bitter smile, stood up and closed the door from the inside, then took off her pajamas, put on her clothes and prepared to wash up.

When An Lingrong opened the door again, Aunt Xiao was already standing at the door with a smile on her face. When she saw An Lingrong, she said, "Miss, do you want to wash up?"

An Lingrong nodded, secretly complaining: "I am a daughter of an official family after all, but I don't even have a personal maid. It was only after I was on the list of the imperial concubines that Aunt Xiao became close to me."

After breakfast, An Lingrong declined Aunt Xiao's company and went to the warehouse alone.

The maid in charge of the storeroom asked with a smile, "Miss, if you need anything, just tell me."

An Lingrong waved her hand and said, "No need, I'll go in and get some spices to make the sachet myself."

The old woman looked at An Lingrong, whose whole demeanor was even more majestic than that of the county magistrate's wife, and the flattering words she was about to say were blocked in her mouth.

At night, after preparing the spices she wanted, An Lingrong got up and stretched her body.

After a moment, he took one of the small paper bags and walked out of the room.

When he came back, he had an extra 1,000 taels of silver in his hand.

This one thousand taels of silver note was searched out from An Bihuai's private vault. The spices that can make people reveal their secrets in confusion are really useful.

Before falling asleep, An Lingrong looked at a small paper package on the broken box and smiled dangerously and charmingly.

The next day, An Lingrong got up and washed before dawn.

After waiting in front of the ancestral hall for a long time, An Bihuai was finally supported by a young and beautiful aunt and came over.

When An's mother saw An Bihuai approaching, she stepped forward to support him.

An Bihuai was about to scold his mother impatiently, but after glancing at An Lingrong, he shook off his aunt's arm, turned around and walked into the ancestral hall.

After paying respects to the An family's ancestors and burning incense, An Lingrong stood and listened to An Bihuai talking non-stop about how to repay the An family. She was very impatient in her heart, but on the surface she put on the faint smile of a filial daughter and listened patiently.

After leaving the ancestral hall and returning to the main hall, An Lingrong took the tea brought by the maid and handed it to An Bihuai with a smile. This father who had been harsh to his legitimate daughter since childhood and who only held him back in his previous life, would be better off lying in bed for the rest of his life.

After having breakfast together, Aunt Xiao accompanied An Lingrong to meet the trafficker. Originally, they only wanted to buy two personal maids, but after seeing a pair of siblings, An Lingrong changed her mind.

Looking at the boy who was always protecting his sister, An Lingrong asked, "You said you were willing to do anything for your sister, so if I asked you to enter the palace after you have been castrated, would you be willing?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, "Yes."

The boy's sister behind him quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, don't!"

Without waiting for the two siblings to say anything more, An Lingrong turned to the human trafficker and said, "I want these two."

After hearing this, the younger sister immediately knelt down and begged, "Please, our Li family still needs my brother to pass on the incense, you must not enter the palace."

After the test, An Lingrong put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Your brother does not need to enter the palace. From now on, your name is Baoqin and your brother's name is Baoshu."

These two siblings were born into a farming and reading family. Their parents were murdered for their money, so the two siblings were forced to sell themselves into slavery.

Even though their situation was at its lowest, the two did not resort to any means to achieve their goals.

For example, in order to get An Lingrong to buy them, the sister would agree to let her brother enter the palace.

When An Lingrong came out of the human traffickers, she was followed by four people, including Aunt Xiao, the siblings Baoshu and Baoqin, and another maid, Baoqi.

In her previous life, An Lingrong became the Oriole Concubine. The maidservant who served her was named Baoque, which was also a bird's name, and An Lingrong didn't like it very much.

In this life, she, a woman who is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wants to trample all the women who are proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting under her feet.
