I never expected that she would reveal this side of herself while drunk today. Actually, thinking about it carefully, Miss's interest in Yue Lanxing probably started from the first day they disembarked from the ship.
Xiao Nan was overthinking things. Xu Zhaoyue didn't hear an answer and took her hand away again. "What? Xiao Nan, you don't know either? Where am I supposed to find him?" Her voice was filled with grievance.
"No, no, Xiao Nan knows. That person's name is Yue Lanxing. You'll see him when you wake up, Miss. Lie down first." Xiao Nan quickly comforted her and covered her with the blanket.
Xu Zhaoyue didn't seem to understand, her expression was nothing but innocent and naive. She obediently let Xiao Nan push her onto the bed and then covered her with the blanket.
Just as Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Zhaoyue suddenly sat up. "Miss! What's wrong?" Xiao Nan thought something was wrong and quickly asked.
Xu Zhaoyue glanced at her, then leaned close to her ear and said, "Xiao Nan, if you don't know them, that's fine, but you can't let Da Chuan and the others investigate them. Although our Xu family has some influence, the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. We can't do anything illegal or disorderly."
"You absolutely mustn't kidnap them, okay? Don't get involved in any fighting or killing; let's keep things peaceful."
Xu Zhaoyue's way of thinking is more like the old one. Subconsciously, she feels that Xiao Nan will get everything she wants. Even if Xiao Nan can't do it, there's still Aunt Wu, Uncle Sun, Xu Dachuan, and Butler Xu. It's really a headache, Xu Zhaoyue thought to herself.
Although Xiao Nan heard her mistress say that she wanted to use peaceful means, she had a feeling that her mistress was implying that she should kidnap Yue Lanxing. If her mistress really met someone she liked on the road, she might actually investigate.
"Okay, Xiao Nan knows. Miss will see him when she wakes up from her nap. Be a good girl." Xiao Nan pushed the young lady down again, and this time Xu Zhaoyue didn't get up.
After serving her mistress, Xiao Nan went downstairs and distributed the snacks to the maids below, ensuring that everyone could choose their favorite flavor. She also went to the storeroom to see Yue Xuanxuan.
"Xuanxuan, I've come to bring you some snacks." Xiaonan carried a box of snacks into the storeroom and immediately saw Yue Xuanxuan reading a book. "So diligent! No wonder you got first place!"
When Yue Xuanxuan saw someone arrive, she quickly stood up. "Sister Xiaonan? I just thought it was quiet here, perfect for reading." Xiaonan walked closer and noticed that she was reading something medical; there was an anatomical diagram on the page Yue Xuanxuan was looking at. "Is it anatomy?"
"Yes, but it's a bit too profound for me right now. I'm just getting the general idea." Yue Xuanxuan was a little embarrassed that Xiaonan had seen through her immediately.
Xiao Nan handed her the box. "Pick a few pieces to try. I gave your brother a box earlier, but I think he went out. I guess he hasn't had time to give you any yet."
Yue Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment. If her hands got oily, turning the pages of the book would stain the words. Before she could pick it up, Xiao Nan handed her a handkerchief. "Use this to hold it, then you won't have to worry about your hands getting oily."
"Okay, okay." Yue Xuanxuan took the handkerchief and picked out a green pastry from the box. "Wow, it's delicious! Which shop is this from?"
Seeing that Yue Xuanxuan thought it was delicious, Xiao Nan's smile widened. "As long as it's delicious, that's fine. It's the third shop from the east in the alley opposite the biggest Western restaurant in Shanghai. It's called Dim Sum Shop. I wonder who owns it."
"By the way, you're looking at these books because you're thinking of enrolling in a medical program, right? If you have any questions, you can ask Miss. Miss even earned a medical doctorate abroad."
"You know what? That's amazing! But I don't need to trouble you with this little bit, Miss. I haven't even gotten to the basics yet." Yue Xuanxuan waved her hand. What she didn't know was probably as simple as 1+1 in Miss's eyes.
Xiao Nan's original intention was not to have her study with the young lady, so she didn't try to persuade her further. "If you want to ask, you can ask me first, and I'll see if the young lady has time."
"Oh, right, I remember the Xu family can provide assistance to servants who want to continue their studies. Your brother dropped out of school because of family reasons, right? If he wants to continue his studies, he can go to Butler Xu to apply."
Xiao Nan abruptly changed the subject, leaving Yue Xuanxuan stunned. "Huh? My brother? He can't go to school anymore." As soon as Yue Xuanxuan finished speaking, she realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends, but before she could say anything, Xiao Nan disagreed.
"How can you say you can't go? Didn't you used to take care of your family? Things should be much better now. You don't need to go to high school anymore; you can go straight to university to study your major."
Yue Xuanxuan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been overthinking things. Only someone with a guilty conscience would feel that they would be exposed if they said something wrong. "I mean, my brother has already become a bodyguard. He must really like this job."
"Really? Of course! The Xu family is one of the best families in Shanghai when it comes to treating their servants, especially our villa, where the benefits are the best. Every year, countless people apply for jobs there." Xiao Nan spoke with pride.
Seeing that she was no longer pressing Yue Lanxing about it, Yue Xuanxuan was happy to go along with her, "That's right, otherwise Xu Zhaohao wouldn't have introduced me to our villa. Sister Xiaonan, when did you arrive?"
“I’ve been here since I was little. My mother brought me here when she was working, so I’ve been growing up with Miss. When I first came, I didn’t know anything. My mother had to work, and I was scared, so I kept crying. Miss found me and even played with me.”
Xiao Nan and Yue Xuanxuan chatted for a while longer before leaving.
