"Mmm." Xu Zhaoyue nuzzled her head again, answering Xiao Nan with a muffled voice. After serving the young lady to sleep, Xiao Nan left the room. Her room was next to the master bedroom, and the butler's room was across the hall. It seemed she would have to find some time to have Butler Yue move in.
Just as Xiao Nan was about to return to her room, she saw someone lurking suspiciously at the bottom of the stairs. As soon as she came out of the young lady's room, the person popped up and waved to her, "Sister Xiao Nan, over here, over here."
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Nan walked over and asked. This person usually avoids trouble, so it must be bad news for him to come looking for her now. "Oh, I came to ask Sister Xiao Nan about Yue Lanxing. We all feel sorry for Xiao Nan."
Xiao Nan was about to say that she had nothing to be aggrieved about, but a thought suddenly occurred to her, and she changed her words to something else: "As long as it is what Miss says, I have nothing to be aggrieved about."
Seeing that she had grievances, the man became even more agitated than she was, "We were just saying that Butler Xu is still in good health, there's no need to find a new person to be the butler, right? Even if we were to appoint a new butler, Sister Xiaonan's qualifications are the most convincing to everyone."
"It's just a pity. That kid is always by the young lady's side. Who knows what he said? It's only because you, Xiao Nan, have always stayed at home that you don't know how the young lady is doing at work."
"If Miss had asked you to go to the company back then, the position of housekeeper would definitely be yours. Hey, Miss, why didn't you arrange for me to go to the company? It would be much more convenient for you to take care of me, Sister Xiaonan, since we're always together."
Xiao Nan listened to him without interrupting, nodding occasionally as if deep in thought. "The young lady has her own plans, and I shouldn't ask too many questions. Besides, I don't understand company matters; wouldn't I just be causing trouble if I went?"
Hearing Xiaonan say that, the man got even more excited. "What are you talking about? It's just a job. There are so many people in a company, how can everyone do the work? Hey, that's true. You've been by Miss's side for more than ten years, and Miss hasn't taught you anything."
Xiao Nan was so angry that she wanted to argue back, but she held back. The other person thought he was being encouraged by her words and was about to press on when suddenly there was a sound from the back door.
They were both startled. "Sister Xiaonan, I'll go back now. Let's talk another day." After saying that, the man walked downstairs, but he walked very slowly and kept close to the wall, as if afraid that the person who opened the door earlier would see him.
Xiao Nan wasn't interested in the people downstairs, so she went straight back to her room and started to get angry. She hadn't expected there to be such people in the villa. It was one thing to be lazy all the time, but to come and provoke her at a time like this was exactly what the young lady meant by having ulterior motives!
After thinking for a long time in the room, Xiao Nan decided not to tell the young lady about this matter yet. Since the young lady asked her to investigate, she would investigate thoroughly and try to get rid of the person with ulterior motives.
The person who just came back from outside was Yue Lanxing. He was carrying a stack of books, which were given to him by Butler Xu.
After Yue Lanxing finished speaking with Butler Xu, Butler Xu sat up from his recliner, looked at him for a while, then stood up again and circled around him.
During this time, he didn't say a word. Yue Lanxing's already straight back couldn't be straighter anymore. After Butler Xu had looked enough, he sat back down in his chair. "Little Yue, bring that chair over there and come sit down. I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Yue Lanxing moved a chair over, and then Butler Xu gave a series of instructions, pointing out many things to pay attention to, from simple to complex. This was only the first lesson.
"Alright, that's all for today. There's still a long way to go. If you have time, come over every day and listen to me say a few words. Since the young lady has appointed you as her housekeeper, I will definitely do my best to teach you, and you must also do your best to learn."
At this point, Butler Xu felt that his words were not appropriate. "No, it's not enough to just try your best. You have to learn it thoroughly. If you don't meet my standards, even if the young lady dislikes you, I cannot approve your position."
"Butler Xu, please rest assured, I will definitely meet your standards. If I don't, I will not continue to be the butler. I will not disappoint Miss, nor will I fail to live up to your expectations." If she did not gain Butler Xu's approval, not only would Butler Xu disagree, but Yue Lanxing herself would not be able to accept it.
Butler Xu could see his sincerity and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. Miss has good taste. Alright, it's getting dark. I'll give you some books. I know your abilities. I'll evaluate you in three days and then replace you with another batch."
And so, Yue Lanxing returned with the books in his arms. The person who had been chatting with Xiao Nan was avoiding his sight, but even the softest sound coming downstairs was clear in the empty hall, especially since Yue Lanxing had exceptional hearing.
However, Yue Lanxing did not go directly to check, but returned to his room, leaving a crack. The person deliberately peeked out to see if he had really entered the room, and the sharp-eyed Yue Lanxing caught a glimpse of his face, but the other person was unaware and was secretly delighted.
In the following days, everyone was busy with different things. Yue Lanxing was learning with great eagerness, and Steward Xu was becoming more and more satisfied with him. Xiao Nan, on the other hand, joined forces with several servants to stir up trouble.
Xu Zhaohao is currently the most idle person in the entire Xu family mansion, but he is studying diligently. It's true that having something you're passionate about makes all the difference. Li Qi has gained his appreciation by finding him many books on scripts.
As Xu Zhaohao and Xu Shun were talking, they suddenly remembered that Li Qi hadn't come today. "Where did Li Qi go?"
“He went to drink with the people in the storeroom. He’s probably too drunk to come over and bother you, young master. But you’ve gone to school, young master. We can’t let the three of them come with us.”
