At night, Nanqu drove to an apartment near the school. To take care of her life, Emilia's father had arranged for her to have a housekeeper and two live-in nannies.
As for the villas over there, since they are not frequently occupied, people are simply assigned to clean them periodically.
Most people were at the main house.
When Nan Qu returned home, the butler had already taken her schoolbag and asked, "Miss, dinner is ready. Would you like to eat now, or do you have other plans?"
Nan Qu said, "I need to wash up first. Eva's mom, you can arrange everything on the table first and then go eat. I'll come down and eat right after I've washed up."
Emilia has always called Eva that, because Emilia lost her mother when she was young, and Eva has been taking care of her since Emilia was three years old.
Even after Amelia went bankrupt and became universally reviled, Eva still took her into her home. However, Eva also had a large family to support, and Amelia's presence would only add to her burden. Therefore, Amelia left after only one day.
Upon hearing this, Eva didn't say anything, but politely bowed and said, "Yes, Miss, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."
Nanqu went upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes. Following her memory, she put her school uniform in the designated laundry basket, where someone would wash, dry, iron, and put it back in her closet.
Emilia has at least ten school uniforms in her wardrobe, so she's not in a hurry to wear this one.
After changing into her loungewear, Nan Qu came down from her room upstairs. Although it was an apartment, it was a two-story duplex, with the entire second floor being Emilia's rooms.
The living quarters, servants, and housekeeper all lived on the first floor.
Nanqu went downstairs and saw dinner laid out on the table. Her eyes also fell on the three people eating in the kitchen.
Seeing that she had come down, Eva was about to get up and come over, but Nan Qu stopped her: "You go eat, I don't need anyone to take care of me here."
Eva then sat down and continued eating.
After breakfast, Nanqu went to the kitchen to prepare her medicine. She feared that if she didn't take good care of her health, she might really become unhealthy.
Seeing Nan Qu carrying a large bag of things into the kitchen, the kitchen maid rushed over: "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
Nan Qu was about to say that she could do it herself, but then she thought that the kitchen maid might be terrified if she did, so she handed over what she was holding: "Here is three days' worth of Chinese medicine. I need to take it every morning and evening after meals. Please decoct this medicine and bring it to me."
The maid had never encountered this before. After hearing Nan Qu's words, she asked about the method of decocting the medicine and agreed.
Nan Qu left the medicine and went back upstairs.
She also needed to take care of this body. After the treatment, she started applying a face mask.
I had just put on the face mask for five minutes when I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Seeing Eva bring in the Chinese medicine, Nanqu pointed to the table in the room and told her to put it there.
As Eva put down the medicine, she couldn't help but ask, "Is Miss sick? It's my fault for not noticing immediately."
Nan Qu waved her hand, got up and walked to the table: "I'm not sick, I'm just taking care of my health. You don't need to be nervous."
After saying that, Nanqu picked up the bowl of medicine, was about to drink it but then put it down, frowned and said to Eva, "Tell the kitchen to use a lower heat next time when decocting medicine, so that it doesn't boil too long and there isn't enough water to make a bowl of medicine."
Eva frowned as well: "Yes, I'll go right away."
Nan Qu stopped her: "This is her first time decocting medicine, don't punish her, just tell her to be more careful next time."
Eva agreed and then went out.
After taking her medicine and washing her face, Nanqu went to sleep early.
Unbeknownst to her, the news of Emilia's "expulsion" from the Noble Ladies' Club had already been posted on the school's public website. This website was a forum for students to communicate, and almost all students used it.
Hannah had seen the news while crying to Ruth about being judged by her teacher for poor manners.
Compared to a commoner being judged for improper manners, Emilia being expelled from the noble ladies' society was far more humiliating.
The key point is that Emilia was already a popular figure at school, and now that she's been expelled from the Noble Ladies' Club, it's bound to cause a sensation throughout the entire school. Those students who dislike Emilia, or those trying to curry favor with the Duke's daughter, will seize this opportunity to kick her while she's down.
"Ruth, your Charles really knows how to handle things. He actually managed to get Emilia expelled from the Ladies' Club. She's in for a world of trouble now."
Ruth blushed deeply. She hadn't expected Charles to do this just because of a single sentence she said, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
That evening, she, who had been reserved, finally allowed Charles to have meat as he wished.
...
Skincare, conditioning, and early to bed and early to rise. Plus, the nourishing energy from Nanqu. When Nanqu looked in the mirror this morning, she noticed her complexion had improved significantly.
What satisfied her most was the spot-fading medicine she made; the newly appeared spots had already shown signs of fading.
Fading dark spots is a long-term process involving both internal and external treatments, and Nanqu can't rush it.
As for the hair, Nanqu looked at it and simply grabbed a pair of scissors. She cut the dry hair with a single snip.
Her long hair, which originally reached her waist, was cut off at shoulder length.
Then, she looked in the mirror and did her hair. Emilia had naturally curly hair. Nanqu cut her hair into shoulder-length style and used a bow hair clip to comb the top hair up and secure it. Instantly, the mature woman transformed into an adorable girl.
Looking at herself in the mirror, trying to look young, Nan Qu couldn't help but think that dressing herself up like a doll was actually quite fun.
She still wasn't wearing makeup, but she had bangs, big eyes, and naturally curly blonde hair. Nan Qu herself felt that Emilia had tremendous potential.
With such a beautiful foundation, she really couldn't bear to waste it.
After changing into her school uniform, Nan Qu walked downstairs. Eva was taken aback by Nan Qu's appearance. Nan Qu spoke first, "Mom, remember to take care of the hair I cut in my room."
Eva then realized what was happening: "Yes, Miss."
After breakfast, the Chinese medicine she drank this time was much better. Nan Qu didn't nitpick, even though the food here wasn't very tasty for her Chinese stomach.
However, she didn't intend to change anything. Her family was going bankrupt soon anyway. There was no need to bother anyone with such a trivial matter.
After breakfast, Nan Qu drove her flamboyant car to school as usual.
At that moment, she had no idea what awaited her at school.
