Qin Yu's maid job came with four days off per month.
But they weren't necessarily on weekends. Instead, they were scheduled around the other maids' holidays to ensure the estate was never left entirely unattended.
Today was one of her precious days off.
Holidays are a blessing. ...

Ningguang nodded. "Exactly. Since you said you were tired, let's begin."
Qin Yu grew wary. What did Ningguang mean by this? Did she want to hear her innermost thoughts? Could her act have been exposed? Impossible.
Regardless, she remained highly vigilant, ...
2025-05-23 01:23:19 +0000 UTC View PostThat evening, Qin Yu, tense and anxious, stood before Ningguang's door.
She reached out to knock, then hesitated. Do I really have to go in?
But it's true that I made a mistake. I haven't even worked here for a month yet; I can't afford to be fired.
I must ...
2025-05-23 01:22:45 +0000 UTC View PostWithout hesitation, Qin Yu approached Keqing, knelt down, and asked, "Are you looking for something? I can help."
"Not again..." Keqing groaned inwardly. Why do I keep running into Qin Yu? I've been going out of my way to avoid her!
Fate? I'd rather be spared this kind of...

She had initially positioned her feet toward the window, but fearing she wouldn't wake up easily, she had switched positions, turning her head toward the window in hopes the sunlight would act as her alarm clock.

So it wasn't a matter of life and death? Qin Yu had assumed Keqing had experienced some kind of tragic loss, given her bitter tone. Good... Relatively speaking.
"Isn't that something to be grateful for?" Qin Yu asked curiously. 2025-05-23 01:17:53 +0000 UTC View Post
That evening, after finishing her day's work, Qin Yu decided to rest for a while.
While the maid's duties were simple, they were mostly physical labor. Fortunately, her skills had significantly boosted her stamina, otherwise she would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

Was it Yanfei? Or Shenhe? Qin Yu wiped her hands on her apron and went to open the door.
"Are you... Ah—!"
Two figures stood before the door. One was Yanfei, of course, and the other was Shenhe, whom Qin Yu had been eagerly awaiting. 2025-05-23 01:11:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Although Yanfei had become her protector, her primary role remained that of a legal expert. She couldn't neglect her duties by focusing solely on this side job; too many people would suffer if she did.
Therefore, Yanfei proposed:
