Features: Chunyu is seventeen this year, five years older than Qin Guan. When she entered the mansion, she was only thirteen but already looked like an adult. Calm, clever, and adept at reading people's expressions, whenever the grandmother-in-law wanted to look at a songbook, she would always find the spectacle case without waiting to be asked. Those who were jealous would whisper behind her back that she was flattering others, but she would just smile and say nothing. If she received praise, she would appear overwhelmed with humility. It was this virtue of not seeking credit for oneself but not begrudging others that caught the attention of the observant Madam Ma, who discussed with Madam Er of the Zhen family, wanting to ask the grandmother-in-law to have Chunyu specifically take care of Qin Guan.
