Sandara shi didn't intend for her daughters to find potential husbands in Qing Zhou, but that didn't mean that she didn't want them to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

After all, they couldn't lose face for Duke Ding's fu.

By chance, Lisa and Minnie recently had new clothes tailored for them, and the fabric had been brought over from the capital–exquisite satin that even the richest men in Qing Zhou couldn't buy. One bolt of fabric could be used to tailor two blouses, and when the girls tried them on, they fit just right.

Apart from that, she gave Lisa a matching cherry-patterned coral red skirt, and for Minnie she picked a pastel green skirt. After they had finished dressing, they went with the two maidservants, and it seemed as though the whole house had lit up.

Sandara shi also had a new azure jin pao made for Ten. As all of them were precious to her, she treated them equally.

Even so, if she hadn't made a set for Ten, he nonetheless wouldn't have been petty towards his precious little sisters.

At this time, Lisa and Minnie were both standing in front of the copper basin washing their faces.

However, as both of them were not tall enough to reach the water in the basin, they had to leave the washing to their maidservants.

Minnie finished washing up very quickly but Lisa playfully sprinkled some water on her. While sprinkling, she laughed and said, "Younger sister is a flower, let me water the flower."

Left with no choice, Minnie could only wash up once more, angrily saying, "Evil sis!"

Although Minnie thought of resisting, she still repeatedly got bullied by Lisa. Eventually, the two little girls ended up laughing and screaming together.

Washing one's face already took one quarter of an hour. If this went on, when would they ever end? Helpless, Sandara shi signed and told Ten,

"Your father already went to call for the carriage and will be back soon. Go take a look at little lamb and Ah Minnie. They're washing up."

Ten nodded his head.

Upon the arrival of their elder brother, both of them immediately settled down. Lisa went forward and pulled his sleeve, currying his favour and saying, "I won't be playful if elder brother helps me wash up."

In their eyes, although elder brother was strict, in the end he was still their biological brother. As long as they were not too outrageous, he would definitely agree to any request they had.

Sure enough, Ten took hold of the half-drenched towel from Shuang Yu, squatted down and carefully wiped her eyes and nose.

"You shouldn't bully Minnie next time."

This time round, Lisa was very well-behaved, making no movement whatsoever. With her pair of large black watery eyes, she said, "I didn't bully her, I was just playing with her."

After which, she twisted her tender dumpling face to the side, looking at Minnie, "Aren't I right, Ah Minnie?"

Minnie hummed and nodded her head in agreement.

At the crucial moment, they would still work together to trick him.

Ten stayed silent, patted her head and continued washing Minnie's face. After washing up, he then taught them both of them how to use salt and peppermint to wash their teeth.

Lisa was very attentive in learning. In this aspect, she was different from other small children. She cared a lot about her body,  having been vain since young, paying much attention to appearances.
