Next morning, Cai Xiang intended to wake up the young miss. But on her way to the young misses' room, she heard panting sound from the outer court. When she went to check out she was startled yet again and asked in bewilderment.
"Young Miss, what are you doing so early in the morning in that weird dress?"
"Ah aunt. Good-morning."
Cai Xiang heard another weird term but she didn't care about that. She again asked her with looks of concern when she saw that the young miss was panting.
" Young miss, were you running now in that dress?"
" Ah yes. I was running just now." Before Cai Xiang can ask more questions Jin Fu said, " I feel that I am too weak, therefore I was running to increase the fitness of my body."
Cai Xiang gave an "I understand now" look. She didn't think much of it because she knows that the Jin family is a military family and therefore they will prioritize about physical fitness. She thought that Jin Fu was trying to get on the good books of Jin family by doing this but then she sighed. Then she asked another question.
" Young miss, then what about the dress? Where did you get that from?"
"Aunt. This...well, I made it during free time."

Late Previous Night
Jin Fu was tossing herself on the mattress not able sleep. This was because too many things happened today. Jin fu was not able to take it anymore and got up.
"Shit. I will not be able to sleep like this."
Then Jin Fu sat in meditation and tried to cultivate a cultivation technique called Qi cultivation technique that she usually used to cultivate her Inner Force. Then she was surprised about the fact that this cultivation technique is working. But then she became depressed because her body was too weak for this method.
Jin Fu tried hard and finally completed one round of cultivation. Jin Fu's current body had to many problems. First, her body was weak. Secondly since she was cultivating for the first time in this new body, all the pathways were blocked and it was too time consuming. Therefore, she got tired just after one round.
Jin Fu then felt some sort of strange energy running through her body and accumulating inside her dantain. At first, she was surprised, then she was happy because this might be the rumored Chi Force. Then she became depressed again because of how little of the Chi Force was accumulated and she didn't know how much time it will take to fill it up. But she didn't lose hope because she now had a chance but first she thought of improving her conditions.
"No, this won't do. I must at least increase my body's fitness level. At morning, I will first start running."
Jin Fu started looking up the dresses she could wear during the morning to start her exercise. But when she rummaged through her dresses, she sighed. There was not a single dress that she found palatable to wear. Worse of all there was only three colors on these dress namely, black, brown and white. Then she saw what kind of dress she was wearing and couldn't help but frown. There was at least two layers of dress she was wearing and that too during summer. That's why she was not able to sleep because of this damn dress that she wore. She cursed from inside to the creators of such kind of dress.
Jin Fu decided to take matters into her own hands. First, she removed everything except for one inner wear. She felt comfortable now. Then she found the sewing materials that were used to make embroideries and then started to make dress from the dresses she owned now to make dresses that suited her own style.
After four hours of hard work, she finally completed a set of dresses that she liked and a hoodie styled dress that almost covered her whole body. The set of dresses contained a white sleeveless shirt, a black pant and a black jacket. She didn't plan to make the brown hoodie at first but later she thought about this ancient era and its conservative views. Therefore, she made the hoodie so that she would not stand out as much.
Jin Fu saw the sun was going to rise. Therefore, she tried one of the sets and started running at the outer court.

Cai Xiang was startled then she accepted the fact because this child received to many injustices at the Jin Family. So its ok to be a little lax here. Then she started to inspect the dress that the young miss was wearing now and she was frightened. How come she noticed this only now.
"Young miss, why is your hand and part of the neck not covered?"
Cai Xiang hurriedly removed the shawl that she was wearing and was about to cover the young miss when the young miss stopped her.
"Stop. Aunt don't worry. I have another dress to cover myself up."
Under the gaze of Cai Xiang she wore the jacket that she made and showed it to Cai Xiang.
"How is it Aunt?"
Jin Fu looked just like a modern-day person who wore a set of normal dresses. But according to the ancient time, this dress style looked to bold not to mention normal for a girl that too.
Cai Xiang asked in a stern voice " Is that it?"
"Yes."
Jin Fu said innocently and the look she gave was too adorable.
Cai Xiang sighed and said "Young miss, you will not be able to wear this kind of dress. The dress style is to bold and eye-catching. Young miss looks more like a boy than a girl. "
Jin Fu then motioned her to wait and brought the hoodie that she made and wore it in front of Cai Xiang. Then she showed her dress style again. Jin Fu's whole body was covered except for her head which could also be covered if she wanted to.
Cai Xiang was somewhat satisfied and said "Young miss, now it looks better. "
Jin Fu sighed from inside again and thought that she made the right decision by making the hoodie. Then she heard Cai Xiang voice again.
"Young miss, still won't you feel uncomfortable since you still wore a little less dress?"
"No Aunt. I'm fine with this. Go and make some hot water so that I can take a bath."
"This servant understands."
Cai Xiang sighed again internally and just accepted the fact that the young miss changed. It didn't matter to her because Jin Fu was her only master and she will listen to whatever her master wants. She went to make some hot water.
