"Thank you, Grandmother."

Shu Jing turned around and looked at the servants waiting outside the door. Her gaze swept across all the servants outside the door. The head that had been swept lowered with all his might, wishing that he could hide in a crevice.

Looking at these villains who had mocked and ridiculed her in her previous life, she sneered in her heart. She quickly entered the house and replied:

"Grandmother, Jing has already been chosen. The more capable Jing should be left to Grandmother. Therefore, I just want a rough Momo Wang."

The moment she said this, she could clearly feel the people outside the door heave a sigh of relief.

Old Madam Shu heard that Momo Wang's name sounded familiar, but she couldn't recall it at the moment. Thinking about it, it didn't matter, so she said generously:

"Mm, I'll take it when I get back."

However, he didn't see Shu Yiyan, who was serving beside him, give him a meaningful glance.

"Thank you, grandma, for your love."

Shu Jing secretly let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Shu Yiyan's little actions, she couldn't help but sneer. How could she not know what Shu Yiyan was planning to do? Even if Old Madam Shu did not agree today, she would still bring Momo Wang away.

Seeing Shu Yiyan continuously gesturing for her to look at the silk scarf, Old Madam Shu suddenly thought of something important and thought Shu Yiyan was reminding her of this. She said to Shu Jing,

"Oh right, are you prepared for tomorrow's birthday present?"

Only then did she remember that tomorrow was the birthday of the empress. In her previous life, she was incited by Qin Wan'er to give her a clumsy birthday present on the day of her birth, and even begged the crown prince not to break off the engagement. Due to face, the marriage was saved, but she was treated with even less respect.

"Grandmother, don't worry. Jing is ready."

Her words were not true, she had spent money to buy a birthday present, and the birthday present was in Qin Wan'er's hands, while all the other ministers and female servants had personally prepared a birthday present. Not only did she buy it with silver, but she was also exposed as a fake.

"En, alright. It is already late at night. You can all go back now."

Old Madam Shu hadn't changed when she was young. Every time it was just after dark, she would have to go to bed. Therefore, Shu Jing and the others would always come to pay respects at dinner.

After everyone had left, Shu Yiyan slowly stood up and said while hesitating to speak,

"Grandmother, why did you give Momo Wang to Big Sister?"

Old Madam Shu didn't understand. "It's just a servant. Why does Yan'er look like this?"

"Grandmother, you forgot. She's Eldest Sister's mother's wet nurse. She still has …"

Old Madam Shu's heart skipped a beat. She finally remembered the reason she left Momo Wang in the yard and called for help:

"Quick!" "Tell Shu Jing that I can easily use Momo Wang and ask her to change it!"

"..."

As soon as Shu Jing left, she went to find Momo, the manager, and took Momo Wang's indenture contract. She headed straight to the old lady's backyard, where she saw an old figure carefully sweeping the yard.

At her age, which of Momo's wasn't free all day, she only needed to take care of maidservant, but Momo Wang was still doing the most tiring work, which she didn't know until after Momo Wang's death.

"Momo Wang …"

As if afraid of disturbing Shu Jing, Momo Wang called out softly. She turned around and was surprised to see Shu Jing. This was the second time today that the First Miss had called her so amiably.

Although Momo Wang was surprised, she gently saluted.

"Eldest Miss, why are you looking for this old servant …"

Shu Jing was startled. Only after living her entire life did she see the true appearances of the people in the mansion. Only then did she realize that Momo Wang was one of the few people who would bow to her upon seeing her, and she had always thought that they were flattering each other.

Recalling how she had been rude to Momo Wang in the past, she said with some apprehension:

"Momo Wang, I've already asked Grandmother for your presence. Is Momo Wang willing to follow Jing?"

Momo Wang was so shocked by her words that her broom fell to the ground without realizing it. She suspected that her hearing was getting worse and worse. The young miss who had always been hostile towards her had just asked her to serve her.

Seeing her face that was almost identical to that of the deceased young mistress, how could Momo Wang bear to refuse?

She couldn't make a sound for a long time, so she just nodded.

Even if Eldest Miss didn't treat her well, she had promised to protect her well. Furthermore, those things must be handed over to her before Eldest Miss got married.

Shu Jing's heart was moved as she said guiltily,

"Jing had done something wrong before. I hope Momo Wang can forgive Jing's ignorance."

Momo Wang was shocked and quickly corrected him, "Miss, you can't say that. Miss is the master. You can't say something like that to a servant. If someone saw you, it would be disastrous."

Shu Jing became more and more emotional. She understood that Momo Wang was doing this for her own good, because in Dayan, there had never been a master that sought forgiveness. If this was seen by others, she would become a laughingstock, but she felt guilty.

"What Momo Wang has taught me is right. How about we just follow Jing back?"

Momo Wang skillfully followed behind Shu Jing. This meant that she had already agreed.

Shu Jing walked in front with a smile on her face. This was the first genuine smile she had ever had since she was reborn.

However, before he could take two steps, he saw Momo Chiang, who was in her forties, rushing towards him.

"Eldest Miss, the old lady said that Momo Wang can't be taken away. She told you to choose another one."
