Lan Ziye looked at Zhang Ma strangely and asked, "Are you related to Zhang Yan in some way?"

Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "She is my daughter!"

"Huh?" Lan Ziye was stunned.

Is he the Chu family's illegitimate child?

"Well, my daughter hasn't found a good job since graduating from college. I thought the Chu family had good benefits and extensive connections, and even being a servant would be an enviable job in society. So I asked the housekeeper at the old house to let her work there!" Aunt Zhang continued cautiously, "Who knew that after only two days at the Chu family mansion, my daughter and I were sent here to take care of the sick eldest son, Mr. Chu. But Mr. Chu said they had enough staff and didn't need us. The head of the family felt sorry for his daughter, so he sent us here!"

Lan Ziye was silent for a moment, then hesitated and said, "But what about Xiao Meng..."

"This old servant will take care of it. Even if I have to help myself, I will definitely get it done. Don't worry, Miss!" Aunt Zhang assured again and again.

Lan Ziye was moved when she saw Aunt Zhang, who looked like she loved her daughter deeply. She thought, no matter how much she disliked the girl named Zhang Yan, she had to give Aunt Zhang some face!

After thinking for a while, Lan Ziye nodded and said, "Okay, let her stay with me!"

"Thank you, Miss, thank you!" Aunt Zhang's eyes were filled with tears of excitement as she thanked her repeatedly.

"Okay, is there anything else? No, I need to go out for a while!" Lan Ziye said lightly.

"And then there's the matter of wages..." Aunt Zhang said hesitantly.

"Why, is Xiao Zi's salary not enough for your daughter?" Lan Ziye asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Aunt Zhang said hurriedly.

Lan Ziye looked at Zhang Ma seriously, waiting for her next words.

"I want my daughter to get money from the Chu family..." Aunt Zhang said a little nervously.

"I understand. The Chu family has good welfare, right?" Lan Ziye said unhappily.

Aunt Zhang became even more anxious, wondering what to do if Lan Ziye rejected her.

Just as Aunt Zhang was about to start persuading him, Lan Ziye suddenly said, "Okay! You're also a Chu family member anyway!"

When she had the chance to see the Patriarch of the Chu Family, she asked him to take these two people back. This person was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han. What was the big deal?

After saying that, Lan Ziye had no interest in talking to Aunt Zhang anymore and walked straight out of the villa.

As soon as Lan Ziye left the villa, Zhang Yan ran out from the corner of the villa. She walked up to Zhang Ma and asked, "How is it? Did the woman agree?"

"What's there to disagree with? She doesn't have to pay for it!" Aunt Zhang put away her humble expression and snorted coldly.

Then, he turned to look at Zhang Yan and said, "However, no matter how much you look down on her, you have to curry favor with her. Only when she truly treats you as one of her own will she take you to see the eldest young master, and only then will you have the opportunity to interact with him!"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I know this!"

Lan Ziye did not leave the Chu family, but went to Chu Xixuan's room, knocked on Chu Xixuan's door, and asked tentatively: "Chu Xixuan, are you awake?"

"It's not time for me to go to bed yet!" Chu Xixuan's voice suddenly came from behind her.

Lan Ziye was instantly embarrassed! She thought Chu Xixuan was just like her, catching up on some sleep in his room!

"Where is Wu Xuzi?" Lan Ziye asked directly.

Chu Xixuan stared at Lan Ziye in a daze, and said with an unhappy look on his face, "You rushed here just to ask me this?"
