It's no wonder they reacted so strongly; it was truly shocking that Xu Zhaoyue herself admitted to being in a bad mood. Such a helpless emotion rarely appeared on Xu Zhaoyue's face. Besides, the people and things that Xu Zhaoyue couldn't handle must be major issues.
The two people behind them stood like door gods. When the maids who came to serve the dishes saw the atmosphere between them, they put down the dishes and left, and then they started talking about whether the young lady had scolded them.
After Xu Zhaoyue finished eating, Xiao Nan immediately brought over mouthwash tea, "Miss, did you enjoy today's dishes?"
"You've been eating this for so long, how could it not suit your taste? If they hear this, they'll think you're deliberately causing trouble. Your attempt to make conversation is too obvious." Xu Zhaoyue put down the tea and gently patted Xiaonan's head.
"No way," Xiao Nan smiled at her, showing concern for Miss.
Xu Zhaoyue had finished eating and immediately stood up to invite them to her study. As soon as she sat down, she saw two pairs of eyes full of curiosity looking at her.
"It's like this, today..." Xu Zhaoyue recounted what had happened that day, and when she finished speaking, she looked at the two people in front of her, both of whom had expressions of disbelief.
"Then...then we need to be careful. If she goes to the master to complain again, the second young lady, ugh, she doesn't even deserve to be a member of the Xu family." Xiao Nan's disgust was written all over her face. She didn't like the second young lady to begin with, and now she hated her even more.
Compared to Xiao Nan's excitement, Yue Lanxing remained silent for a while. "We can't completely trust what Assistant Qi says, but it turns out he's the master's man. I never would have guessed. Miss, what do you need us to do? I will do my best."
Xiao Nan looked at Xu Zhaoyue with a determined gaze, clenched her fists to encourage herself, and said, "Whatever Miss needs me to do, I will never refuse."
Seeing their expressions of loyalty, Xu Zhaoyue smiled and waved her hand, "Alright, it's not that serious. I've already spoken to the pharmaceutical factory. I remember Wu Ma has my mother's dowry list. Xiao Nan, go ask Wu Ma for it when you're home tomorrow."
"Yes, Miss. Oh? What do you need this for?" Xiao Nan answered confidently, then asked with a puzzled look.
“Miss must have her reasons. I wonder what Miss wants me to do?” Yue Lanxing answered Xiao Nan for Miss first, then looked at Miss with intense eyes.
Xu Zhaoyue didn't quite understand why there was such fervent emotion in his eyes, but his concern did comfort her. "Um, I have something to tell you, but given your current condition..."
Seeing that the young lady hesitated, Yue Lanxing immediately said, "Don't worry, young lady, I'm fine now. I can go to the warehouse to fight right now."
"Alright, alright, I know, I know. You can start taking Xue Huzi to practice shooting from tomorrow. I keep my word." Xu Zhaoyue paused for a moment and then said, "The bodyguards in the warehouse are all Xu Dachuan's men. I want the warehouse to be mine within three months."
"I only have this one request; you can have whatever else you want." Xu Zhaoyue's eyes suddenly sharpened. She had originally wanted to say one month, but that was too short, so she broadened the timeframe. She didn't know if Yue Lanxing was willing to do it; she needed an answer.
Yue Lanxing did not disappoint her. In the blink of an eye, he made a promise: "I will definitely fulfill Miss's request and try to complete it within a month." His expression was calm, completely unconcerned about how much effort it would take in a month.
Xu Zhaoyue and Yue Lanxing looked at each other for a moment. Yue Lanxing's hesitant look told Xu Zhaoyue that he had something to say.
"Xiao Nan, go and get the finished watch and clothes, and also have someone deliver all the things the Han family sent over to Butler Yue's room." Xu Zhaoyue sent Xiao Nan away.
After Xiaonan left, Yue Lanxing told her everything she had discussed with Tiandai over the past few days. "If it succeeds, the young lady will have someone on the western road. I've been researching this for the past few days. Originally, the Xu family relied on the Fang family's connections to transport medicinal herbs. If they had their own route, they would definitely be able to control the transportation of medicinal herbs even better."
"What if we succeed? You seem to lack confidence. What if we fail?" Xu Zhaoyue blurted out a series of questions. She was always strict about plans.
"Failure means I've let down Miss's expectations of me, and it's my own fault." Yue Lanxing remained calm, as if he wasn't the one who deserved it, showing his excellent composure.
Xu Zhaoyue sensed his confidence and nodded with a smile. "It seems you are very confident. You have already thought about what to do if the Fang family disagrees. You have quite the ambition."
Yue Lanxing's expression changed. Being told he had great ambitions didn't seem like a good thing. He didn't know why the young lady said that, so he was a little flustered. What if the young lady thought his plan was too meticulous and that he was a deep and scheming person?
Just as Yue Lanxing was feeling uneasy, Xu Zhaoyue said with a smile in her eyes, "I like ambitious people, especially those whose abilities match their ambitions."
"Huh?" Yue Lanxing was momentarily dazed, but quickly recovered, his smile almost impossible to hide. "I will definitely live up to Miss's expectations." He almost flashed an eight-toothed grin, but he lowered his head, not daring to let Miss see his elation.
Looking at his varied expressions, Xu Zhaoyue suddenly felt that he was different from before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Maybe he had told her all his secrets, so he was more open now.
"Alright, go open the door, don't let Xiaonan stand outside." Xu Zhaoyue slightly raised her chin towards the door.
Yue Lanxing realized that Xiao Nan had been gone for a long time, so she quickly opened the door and saw that she was indeed waiting outside. Seeing that Xiao Nan's expression was not good, Yue Lanxing took a step back to make room for her.
