After washing her face with clean water, Yunchu Li finally woke up completely. She hooked her fingers at Zi Juan, who was standing there. Zi Juan looked at her doubtfully, not understanding what she meant.

Seeing that she had not moved for a long time, Yun Churui suddenly remembered that this was ancient times and that they could not understand modern things. So he gave up the communication of sign language. He opened his mouth and said,

"Zijuan, come over here. I have something to say."

Zi Juan walked over, a little perturbed. She still remembered the look in Eldest Miss's eyes last night. That gaze caused her to no longer dare to gossip or discuss with others about her identity as the eldest young miss. She didn't know why she was calling her over, but due to her nervousness, she walked at a slow pace with every step.

"I called you over, hurry up." Yun Chu-Li said impatiently. She hated people who would buy time the most, and was even more impatient to wait for someone.

"Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

Yun Chu-Li cleared her throat and asked,

"Zijuan, what's the matter this morning?"

"Nope." She did not understand why the Miss would suddenly ask this question.

"If not, why did you knock on the door so early?" Yun Chuli shouted in madness.

For someone who slept all day until she woke up naturally, suddenly waking up at six o'clock every day was tantamount to taking her life. Although Zijuan didn't understand why she had asked this question, she already knew from last night that this young lady was not as easy to provoke as she appeared on the surface, so her attitude today was much more respectful than it had been a few days ago. As long as she could answer any question, she would do her best to answer it.

"Miss, this is the rule of the mansion, everyone has to follow it. Even the first lady has to follow it."

When Yun Chuli heard the word 'rules', he could not help but feel disdain for them in his heart. The rules of the ancient people were so many that they even had to be placed on the rules whenever someone woke up. Wouldn't it tire them to death to live like this? Thinking about how she would have to live like this in the future at the Residence of Yun, she felt a sense of lingering fear.

"Zijuan, the rules are dead, but humans are alive. It's us who are going to change the rules, not let the rules control us, right?"

Zi Juan nodded, as if she understood something, because she seemed to make a lot of sense. Seeing her nod, Yun Chu-Li smiled in satisfaction. Although this Zi Juan loved to gossip, she was not stupid. She went on to say,

"If that's the case, then if there are some rules that make people uncomfortable, do I have to break it?" Zi Juan nodded again.

"Alright, for example, at this time when we are up in the mansion, even if we wake up so early, we wouldn't have any reason to wake up, right? Furthermore, getting up so early and wasting our sleep time, if that's the case, then why do we have to get up so early? " This time, Zi Juan did not nod.

"Miss. This was a rule set down by the lord, and everyone in the manor needed to wake up at that time. In the past, when the madame was still alive, the old master had made this rule so that every junior in the mansion could go pay their respects. After that, the madame left and this rule continued. Everyone in the mansion was used to getting up at this time. "Don't worry Miss, after a while, you'll get used to it."

Zi Juan thought that she was worried that she wasn't used to it, so she comforted her. Which one? Yun Chu-Li was currently regretting what she had said before. She had seen wrongly. Zi Juan was an ancient person, how could she not have a stubborn mind? It was impossible for her to understand the way of life of modern people. However, she didn't want to wake up so early in the future. Since this method wasn't working, she could only use another method. And she said,

"Zijuan, just wait for me outside the door everyday. Don't knock on the door."

"But, miss, can you get up at that hour without knocking?" Zijuan looked at her with suspicion.

"You don't need to care about that. In any case, I order you, in the future you are not allowed to knock on doors so early in the morning."

Yunchu-li put on the airs of a young lady, and Zijuan didn't dare to say anything when she saw her like this. Seeing this, Yun Chu-Li said in satisfaction,

"It's just like this. Zi Juan, you just need to remember what I said last night. Remember who is your master. I can pretend that I don't know anything about your past."

"This servant understands." Zi Juan lowered her head and replied.

"Alright, you can leave now. I need to catch up on my sleep for a while. Call me when we have breakfast." He lay back down on the bed.

"Hey, little miss, little miss …"

Seeing that she was about to go back to sleep, Zi Juan anxiously called out to her. However, Yun Chuli didn't hear her at all because she had completely blocked out all sound from the outside world just by going to her bed.

After calling out a few times and getting no response, Zi Juan gave up. As long as she stayed outside, there shouldn't be any problems.

The sleeping Yun Chuli did not know that what happened at the banquet yesterday had already spread to every corner of the capital. Many people had a new understanding of Yun Chuxi. They all knew that the original young mistress of the Residence of Yun was not as gentle as she used to be. She had disregarded honor and honor to express her love to the fourth prince and had been rejected.

They also knew that the real young mistress of the Residence of Yun had returned, and had even helped the third prince solve the case. Furthermore, he could play exotic musical instruments, and he was a rare beauty.

The rumors had reached the Residence of Yun as well, but they had not reached the ears of the two parties involved. Yun Chuli was still in bed, so she didn't know what was going on outside. As for the news about Yun Chuxi, it had been deliberately sealed off. Therefore, even though rumors were flying outside, the Residence of Yun was calm. However, this seemed to be the surface calmness.

Yun Chuxi, who lived in the Xxi Garden, had woken up very early, and it was not because of what had happened last night. It was because she had lived in the Residence of Yun for so many years that she had gotten used to this rule. Perhaps, even when she wasn't used to it, she had never thought of rebelling or changing this rule. It was also possible that she wanted to resist, but she was afraid that if she resisted, she would lose the favor of Prime Minister Yun. She would lose her position within the mansion, and lose everything she had now.

The first thing she did when she woke up was to ask what had happened at the banquet last night. Because Yun Chuxi was drunk, he only had one image of what happened last night, so he did not have a deep impression of it. However, from the fragmented memories, it seemed that what happened last night was of no benefit to her, so she pulled on the peony and asked about it in the early morning.
