Chapter 651 The reaction is wrong
Nie Yao turned her head to look at the butler Owen and asked with amusement, "How do you know I'm asking about Lin Xiaoxiao?"
"Lin Xiaoxiao and the other second young masters' playmates were all invited by the eldest young master. He had his reasons for making such an arrangement. Now that the banquet is over, I'm afraid Miss Nie would feel uncomfortable if they stayed in Li Garden..."
Butler Owen repeated the eldest young master's words word for word, and said to Nie Yao seriously, "That's why the eldest young master gave me these instructions! He doesn't want those other people to affect the relationship between the second young master and Miss Nie!"
Nie Yao burst out laughing, shook her head, and jokingly said, "That's not the case, but thank you, big brother, for me. He made very thoughtful arrangements!"
Butler Owen nodded in agreement and whispered, "The eldest young master always pays the most attention to the second young master's affairs. Even though the second young master's playmates are not wealthy young men, the eldest young master specifically emphasizes that they must not be neglected! Just now, two of the second young master's playmates got drunk. I have someone bring them some hangover soup and send them back. However, I didn't find Lin Xiaoxiao just now. I wonder if she went to the bathroom..."
"Probably..." Nie Yao smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "But she might have left early. I remember she resigned when she gave me a hand-embroidered purse. But later on, I had too many things to do and didn't pay much attention to her..."
"Hand-embroidered purse?" Owen looked at Nie Yao in confusion.
"Well, she gave it to Li Jinxing and me as a gift. The embroidery was quite good, and the sachet inside seemed to contain some Chinese herbs. It smelled very pleasant, so I put the purse in the bedroom..."
When Nie Yao said this, she saw that the butler Owen's expression suddenly became a little complicated, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Owen, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Butler Owen came to his senses, shook his head and replied with a wry smile, "Nothing's wrong, just a few surprises..."
Nie Yao felt that Butler Owen's expression seemed to have a deeper meaning, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. She asked thoughtfully, "I'm glad there's nothing wrong. Seeing your expression just now, I almost thought there was something wrong with the sachet."
"No problem!" Butler Owen answered quickly, answering without thinking.
Nie Yao was stunned and looked at Owen in surprise. This purse was clearly given to her by Lin Xiaoxiao, and she had only shown it to Li Jinxing. How could Butler Owen say so confidently that there couldn't be anything wrong with the sachet in the purse!
"Butler Owen, have you ever seen a similar purse?" Nie Yao asked with a fake smile.
"No..." Butler Owen quickly waved his hands and replied with a smile, "Lin Xiaoxiao's embroidery skills are indeed amazing. She's quite famous in this area, and she's self-taught. Her father has a good relationship with the eldest and second young masters, and she's a kind person. How could she dare to tamper with the sachet?"
Seeing Owen say this, Nie Yao finally felt relieved. She nodded and said with a smile: "That's good..."
Wherever Li Jin goes, he is always on guard. Even when he attends public events, he has to worry about someone poisoning the water or food. If he has to be wary even of the people around him when he returns home, it would be too tiring!
"Ms. Nie, I think most of the guests should have left. I'll have someone clean up the banquet hall. You and the Second Young Master should go upstairs and rest early!"
