2 2. The dilapidated courtyard.

After talking to her system, Su Qingyi calls for a servant. She needs to clean up herself. She feels dirty and sticky after all that husband just left her like that after eating her tofu clean.

Moving slowly to the bathroom, Su Qingyi makes the servant leave the room after they finish preparing her bath. Seeing the empty room, Su Qingyi took a ceramic cup on the table near her bed and took it to the bathroom. In the bathroom, there is a bathtub made of wood with a large size filled with warm water strewn with flower petals. There is no cleaning liquid that can be used. In this place, they only use flowers to clean women's bodies.

Using her mind, Su Qingyi drew water from the lake in space, filling it to full in a ceramic cup. Due to her weak body condition, she cannot use too much spiritual water or her body will not be able to receive its benefits and explode. She still doesn't want to die anymore. After pouring water into the bathtub, Su Qingyi stirred the water in it so that spiritual water could be mixed.

After seeing the mixture of water in the tub turn bluish, Su Qingyi began to take off all the wedding clothes she was wearing from yesterday. Su Qingyi slowly entered the tub and began to enjoy the mixed spiritual water. She can feel the mixed water seeping inside her body, making her tired and taut muscles loose and becoming better. She subconsciously knows that her body will become more beautiful after her bath now.

To make her body stronger and more beautiful slowly she just can use the spiritual water to condition her body to change without making others suspicious. She needs to pour this spiritual water into her courtyard well later.

Finished bathing, Su Qingyi wears the long green robe prepared by her personal maid; Fu Lin. Looking at the robe, she liked it a lot. The robe is simple to wear and good on her body. There's a big mirror inside the bathroom, so she looks at her reflection and nods. The mixed water makes her dry and almost yellow skin looks better. Her skin now looks like milk, soft and smooth. Using the mix of water every day will continue to promote her skin later, so she needs to use it every time.

"Wangfei, are you done?"

Fu Lin's voice can be heard outside the bathroom. Her young mistress used to bathe fast but today she takes a long bath inside. In her mind, she can't help cursing Yu Wang because she knows that man just left her young lady after he ate her body clean last night. He even dares order her young lady's personal servants to not serve her young lady after the man does the deed. The man even orders the other servants inside the courtyard to watch them so they can't clean her young lady to make her young lady sleep more. If she can beat him, she'll do it last night. Too bad her young lady's servants never can learn martial arts in the Su's. When her miss turns to 6, her mother passes away, so her young lady's life becomes bad inside the Su's.

Unlike other young ladies, her young lady never learns female arts, not even the teacher is sent to teach her young lady. Luckily when her mother is still alive, her young lady is already being taught literature, that's why after her mother passes away, the young lady likes to sneak into the family library. Because the young lady is kind, the library guard always pretends they don't see her young lady sneak inside the library. But, other than literature, her young lady never knows other female arts.

"Fu lin."

Fu Lin lifts her head and sees her young miss. When seeing her young lady, she frowns. Her young miss seems different. Her skin looks better, the skin becomes white like milk. Not just Fu lin but also the other personal maids feel like their young lady looks better than before.

"Wangfei, your looks..." Nanny Mo looks baffled seeing her young lady's looks.

"Hmm...I just take a good bath." Su Qingyi doesn't know how to explain the mixed water she used for the bath, that's why she plays ignorant.

Her personal servants become quiet when she said that and stop asking. They don't need to know anything their young lady doesn't want to tell.

Su Qingyi looks at her new place now. She frowns deeply, she never thought that she would be staying inside this courtyard. The courtyard looks almost like an old abandoned one. The plants inside the courtyard are just tall grass and old trees with yellow leaves everywhere.

"Nanny Mo, this courtyard...Is this the place Wangye put me?"

"We don't know, Wangfei. The head steward brought us here after the wedding ceremony and you accepted Wangye inside this house."

"Wangye doesn't say anything?"

"No, he just found you and left after going inside the wedding room for a while."

"I see, he agrees with these things then."

"Do we have other servants other than mine?"

"Yes, we got two eunuchs and two maids."

Nodding, Su Qingyi feels better. At last, that man gives her four servants to help.

"I'm hungry. Do we have a kitchen and well in here?"

"Yes, we had those."

"I want to see those."

Walking around, Su Qingyi arrived at an old well. The well looks messy with a lot of moss and weeds around it. Looking into the well, Su Qingyi could see that the well water looks murky. Feeling somewhat annoyed, Su Qingyi started cursing her instant husband for sending her to live in this place. Taking a deep breath, she knew that she had to make this place a suitable place for her and her personal servants to live in.

"I want you all to find others to help clean the well now."

"Yes, Wangfei."

Hearing her order, all her personal servants moved and started to search for other servants. While they were gone, Su Qingyi took a cup full of superior-grade spiritual water from inside her space.

"Yuten, how much do you think I should put inside this well?"

"For now you just need to put five cups inside this well, Master. You can't put in too much, or people will find out. There are few strong cultivators inside this mortal world. Inside this world, a martial artist is a majority."

"Alright, I'll follow your advice."

Su Qingyi pours five cups of water from her space inside the well. With her eyes, she watches the well's murky water turn clear and bluish just like her bathwater before. Nod and feeling good, she moves a little far from the well to wait for the servants. After a while, she can see her servants and other servants coming bringing clean tools to clean the well. Without waiting for her commands, the servants start to work and clean the well and around it.

'Hmm...these manor servants are not bad. No wonder they're Wangfu's servants.'
