To avoid escalating the situation, Xu Zhaoyue immediately stepped out from behind the fountain, calling out, "Here they are, Mr. and Mrs. Wang, the child is here!" Hearing her voice, the two people quickly ran over.
"It's Ms. Xu again." Mr. Wang relaxed instantly when he saw that it was an acquaintance, and felt relieved when he saw the child being held.
"Yes, Mr. Wang, we were sure the prince was playing by himself over there, so we carried him over. We didn't expect this to make you worry," Xu Zhaoyue explained.
Mr. Wang took a few seconds to react. "Prince? Oh, this little rascal's name is Wang Ziqi. His mother used to tell him stories every day, and he only remembered the name 'Prince.' He always says his name is Prince when he's out in public. That kid."
"Really? I thought it was a pretty unique name." Xu Zhaoyue smiled in surprise, not expecting the child to be named Wang Ziqi, a name the child had chosen for himself.
They chatted for a while longer, and Xu Zhaoyue still managed to catch a small goldfish for the child.
When they were walking back after the banquet, Xu Zhaoming stood there looking unhappy, as if someone owed her money. "Xu Zhaoyue, who exactly organized the Xu family's anniversary celebration? Why do they all say it was led by you?"
Xu Zhaoyue glanced behind her and saw that there was no one else around. Even her father would have to wait a while before coming over. Only then did Xu Zhaoming dare to complain to her. If her father were here, he definitely wouldn't have spoken in this tone.
"Let people say what they want. As long as you do a good job, why would you be afraid of not getting praise?"
Xu Zhaoyue's tone was indifferent, completely ignoring Xu Zhaoming's accusations. "You!" However, Xu Zhaoming didn't dare to cause trouble here and could only go back sullenly.
When they returned to the Xu family home, everyone was too exhausted to talk anymore, so they all went back to their villas to rest.
"Miss, I've already arranged a massage. You'll feel more comfortable sleeping later." Xiao Nan was combing Xu Zhaoyue's hair, and she was gently wiping some areas with a hot towel after spraying hairspray on them.
Xu Zhaoyue closed her eyes, and you could hear the weariness in her voice. "Okay, whatever you say. By the way, where did you go after we came out of basement one? I looked in several places but couldn't find you."
"Oh, Shunzi and I went to have some snacks. We didn't want anyone to see us, so we hid in a side room. There were maids and servants from other families there too, but there were also maids from the Yue family in there, so we didn't dare to speak."
"There are quite a few of you. That explains why there seem to be fewer and fewer people." Xu Zhaoyue hadn't expected there to be a separate room for them to hide in. She had always thought they were hiding in places like the garden or woods where it was easy to conceal themselves.
Xiao Nan nodded, "Yes, quite a few. Several masters from each family went, and they brought even more servants. They all gave the Yue family face. If there were fewer people, I might have been able to get closer to those members of the Yue family."
Xu Zhaoyue could tell from Xiao Nan's tone that she was disappointed. She chatted outside and managed to get a lot of information out of her. She could also keep her own things under control and had her own set of tricks.
“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but things are different here than in the capital. I wonder who the Yue family will befriend first?” Xu Zhaoyue was still thinking about Yue Lanxing and the Yue family. In any case, the Xu family was definitely in the eyes of the Yue family now.
Xiao Nan saw that her young mistress was almost asleep but was still thinking about business matters, which made her feel very sorry for her. "Miss, you should get some rest tonight. You can think about it tomorrow. I'll go and call someone in."
Xu Zhaoyue received a full massage under Xiao Nan's supervision before falling asleep.
