“In the city capital, although Master Zhu Hou is not any court officials, nor does he have any strong political background, but in the whole Capital the Zhu House is the richest House.
That is an existance that everyone will know and take note of. Many of the supplies that the Imperial Court used, not only they are manufactured and produced under the name of Zhu House, but even the daily meals of the Emperor of Ning Dynasty were specially prepared by the chefs from Zhu House.

[Translator note : This is one weird House, I wonder if the food are transported daily to the Imperial Palace or they ship their chef to the Palace]

So, don’t mention the small potatoes citizens, even the officials in the Court must give the barest respect[1] where the people of Zhu House is concerned.”

This is what Zhu WuXin managed to get her hands on after she woke up, the information of a part of the background from a maidservant.

And Zhu WuXin, with much luck, is a part of this Zhu House.
Not as a maidservant, and not as a small concubine, but a proper position as the House Fourth Miss.

Although Zhu WuXin just woke up, realizing that she shared the same name of the original body and that she’s from a noble family, she can’t help but get a bit excited inside.
But at the next moment, she lost the will to laugh out.
It was because she is a child without mother and father.

On the outside, she is Zhu House Fourth Miss, on top of her in the sibling branch are two older brother, and an older sister.
Below her is another sister. But no one in the whole House had ever treated her as one of the Miss of the House.

To be honest, it was because she was Shu-born[2] that even maidservants can bully her.
Anyone also can use her to release anger.

In the Zhu House, she was not more worthy than a maidservant.

As a matter of fact, take a look at the maidservant who was sent to wait on her.
She is enjoying herself, basking in the sunlight, while biting sunflower seed.
Zhu WuXin called out at the maidservant for half of the day, but she have the nerve to let WuXin settle[3] herself on her own.

Zhu WuXin was so incensed, she jumped out of her bed and ruthlessly served the maid a tight slap, “Look properly, who is the Miss here!”

The maidservant was surprised by Zhu WuXin’s slap, because she never expected WuXin would dare to get angry.
Taken half the day to recover from shock, the maid covered her red face and went to call the doctor for WuXin.

The previous Zhu WuXin, was a living punching bag for others to release anger.
But the current Zhu WuXin, is not someone easy to be bullied.

She is the Miss who would not be summoned.[4] Ever since she was sent back to Zhu House yesterday, if it’s not because Master Zhu came back and found her looking unsightly by the front door, no one will actually take the initiative to carry her back inside.
Because of that, she had been lying at Zhu House front door for a whole day, with clothes barely covering her body.

After she woke up, she held in a stomach full of anger, as she was unable to vent and her personal maidservant were also killed by the red-haired man yesterday.
Not sure where this current maidservant sent to serve her was transferred from.
If she haven’t been called Miss by the maid, she wouldn’t know who is actually the master here.

Zhu WuXin was down with a fever ever since she came back, the wounds on her body either discharging pus or still bleeding but no one cared.
As if they can’t wait for her to die.

She went back into her room, again lamented the injustice by Buddha.
Not one benefit from transmigrating was given to her at all, but the unfortunate ones were served to her completely.
And also, she was already an anger-release punching bag, how does she manage to encounter the manic red-haired killer?!
Couldn’t be she does not want to live anymore, that she took the initiative to look for him, to let him end her, right?

Oh my Buddha, there’s a lot of strange things happening now, this year especially more than ever.

[1] : 給三分薄面 – Meaning to give face/to give respect regardless how small is it

[2] : 庶 – Shu wife or Concubine. I’m not very sure about the concubine ranking if Shu means anything other than Concubine. But until I encounter another type of rank, I’ll put it as Shu wife for now.

[3] : 自己解決 – I can’t help thinking it was not meant literally because “settle herself” doesn’t make sense as there are nothing to settle. But then another meaning also don’t make much sense because it will look like “relieve herself”. I guessed it most probably mean for her to take care of herself.

[4] : 不受待見 – As in nobody will look for her nor summon her to anywhere
