Wushuang's posture of scrubbing clothes lasted from sunrise to moonrise, and the pile of clothes in front of her was only reduced by half. If this continued, she would never be able to play chess with Duke Zhou that night.

She looked down at her hands, which were white and swollen from the water, and couldn't help but shake her head. This was really not a life for human beings. She was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

There was a sound, even subtler than the sound of a mosquito, but Wushuang was stunned to hear it.

Turning around again, he saw Qian Lu sneaking out of the darkness. Without saying a word, he buried his head and joined in the washing process.

"Girl, why did you come here? If that stingy noble concubine saw it, wouldn't she break your legs and accuse you of wandering around at night and coming here to plot evil?"

Seeing the tears falling from the corners of Qianlu's eyes, Wushuang grabbed her wrist and lowered his voice and said:

"Don't worry, your mother-in-law and I are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. This little hardship is nothing. You should go back quickly so that we can avoid being discovered and we will be punished together."

"No, Madam, I came here after seeing that they were all asleep at this time. How could they ask you, Madam, to do these things? It's too much."

Qianlu's sobs became louder and louder, and Wushuang stood up and looked around in a hurry, feeling very nervous. It was okay for her to be bullied here alone, but if Qianlu was involved again, it would really be more gain than loss.

Since coming to this era, Qian Lu is the only person who treats her sincerely. She must not let Qian Lu suffer too much.

"Be obedient, silly girl. Go back quickly. Nothing will happen. I have already figured out how to wash this lot of clothes. You don't have to worry." Wushuang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and greeted her.

He looked at her with doubts and grinned at her, "What I said is true. Aren't I waiting for someone to take action when no one is around?"

"Then let me help you, empress. It will be faster this way."

Qianlu still refused to leave, so Wushuang had no choice but to let her stay. The master and servant spread all the clothes on the smooth stone slab, and then poured water on them. Then, the two of them took off their shoes and socks, leaving their feet bare.

Stepping on clothes.

"Mother, can this really clean me?"

"Of course, when my hometown was underdeveloped a long time ago, those people used this method to wash clothes when they were working."
