Chapter 375 - 284: Better Year by Year
Ye Shiqi only knew in her daze that her elder sister had placed her on the bed, and she continued to sleep peacefully there.
Before their midnight meal, they had already taken baths, a custom before the New Year, to wash away the bad of the past year and to welcome a better tomorrow in the new year.
The little maid held a warm, damp handkerchief, helping the young lady wipe her hands and her tiny feet.
Then, after tucking her in, the maid proceeded to wipe Ye Fengqi’s hands and feet.
The little maid was only slightly older than Ye Fengqi, but her responsibilities meant that even when tired, she could not sleep until her young mistress was settled in.
Ye Fengqi was just a little over a year older than Ye Shiqi and was also very tired and sleepy, passively letting the maid fuss over her.
When Ye Shiqi woke up the next morning, it was already bright daylight outside, and she felt today’s weather was warmer. Upon seeing her awake, the maid hurriedly provided warm water for her to wash her face.
After washing her face, with the maid combing her hair, she changed into a festive red cotton-padded jacket, with a red brocade skirt and red embroidered cotton shoes underneath.
