On the other end, Zhou Ying did not notice their schemes. Instead, she sat in the study, writing down a list of things she wanted to buy next. She planned which items could be taken out of her interspace and which could not.

The most challenging item for her was food because, so far, the grain stores had yet to open.

After thinking about it, there was only one way left, and that was to use Mother Goddess as a cover to put some food into her residence.

However, the prerequisite was that she had to go to the Mother Goddess Temple and go through with the prayers.

At the thought of this, she suddenly thought of the small Buddha statues that were usually worshipped at a person’s home. It seemed that she had to bring this plan forward.

It would allow Mother Goddess’ statue to enter thousands of households, allowing people to worship her at all times and advancing her legacy even further.

It was unlike before when people looked down on or even abandoned Mother Goddess.

Thus, when she entered her interspace at night, she began to select servants for the various Mother Goddess Temples through her followers’ faith.

However, she did not choose any young and beautiful women. Instead, she chose widows who had no one to rely on, determined, kind, and well-kept. She then entered their dreams to offer them this position.

Of course, she never forced any of them.

It was up to them whether they wanted to go or not.

After half a night, she chose four servants for each temple.

At the same time, she told them their responsibilities.

One was to ensure that the Mother Goddess Temple was clean and tidy, and the other was to help out the people who went to offer prayers.

There was also another mission, which was to sell her statues or offer them in exchange for something.

However, only those who were kind-hearted and had merit could receive such a reward.

Of course, people could also bring a statue they made to the Mother Goddess Temple to be blessed. However, whether they could succeed or not was another story.

After finishing her work in her interspace, she began to carve Mother Goddess statues with the wood from her interspace. She then painted it and injected a trace of her spiritual power into it.

Only the statues she injected with her power were the real deal.

The next day, when it was almost noon, the news of Mother God choosing servants had basically spread throughout the country.

When Zhou Ying brought Granny Ma to the streets to buy some food, she also heard about it. Moreover, the news of inviting a statue of the Mother Goddess spread throughout the capital.

She also heard that many others had already started donating daily necessities to the four maidservants here.

At noon, she heard that the four maidservants from the capital had already arrived, bringing her another bundle of faith points.

On the way back, Granny Ma suddenly asked, “Mrs. Gu, you heard about

Mother Goddess choosing maidservants. Why does she choose widows who live alone after the age of forty?”

“Maybe she wants someone free of burden.

“Also, she probably wants someone with a steady heart so that they can serve Mother Goddess wholeheartedly.

“Otherwise, the Mother Goddess Temple would be defiled.”

Granny Ma was stunned for a moment. She remembered what she had heard before, that some temples took the opportunity to do some dirty things. She nodded in understanding and replied, “It seems that Mother Goddess has seen through everything.”

Zhou Ying smiled silently at that.

After dinner, Zhou Ying brought Granny Ma to her new residence after dinner to check on the progress.

She found that the main courtyard had been repaired and the heated floor connected to the fireplace.

However, because the walls had just been painted, the moment she entered the room, it was as if she had entered the middle of summer. It was stuffy and hot, so she quickly turned around and walked out.

She then found Qiu Niang and gave her 2,000 taels of silver to pay for and settle the renovation. She sent all kinds of supplies to the residence, found the foreman, and asked him to connect the front and backyards with heated flooring.

As for the two side courtyards and guest rooms, there was no hurry for that. Otherwise, it would be too late to move in when it was cold.

After returning to the Imperial Residence, she remembered the ‘show’ that Gu Chengrui had mentioned yesterday and then spread out her spiritual senses to look at the Yang Residence..
