"This..." Patriarch Zhu still found it hard to believe.
"What? You want to offend Chu Xixuan and bring bad luck to your Zhu family?" Lan Ziye became more confident and spoke louder. After a pause, he continued, "Or... do you want Chu Xixuan to call you again and ask for a favor?"
The Zhu family patriarch stared at Lan Ziye thoughtfully for two seconds. Suddenly, his expression changed 180 degrees, and he smiled instantly, saying, "That's not necessary. Zhu Ning is our fifth son. Although the fifth son and his wife died early, and the child is left without a father or a mother, she is still a piece of flesh and blood in my heart. What grandfather doesn't want the best for his granddaughter? I hope that my granddaughter Lan Xian can help take care of her!"
"No problem!" Lan Ziye smiled triumphantly, waving his hand as he saw that the matter was settled. "Can we go find Zhu Ning now?"
"Yes, of course!" The Zhu family head called out with a smile, "Zhu Wei, take your two virtuous granddaughters to find the third young lady!"
"Yes, Master!" a clear male voice sounded.
Only then did Lan Ziye and Lan Rongrong realize that there was a little boy tidying up the bookshelves in the study, and they felt embarrassed.
"Please come in, my two distinguished guests!" Zhu Wei stepped forward politely and made a gesture of invitation.
Lan Ziye and Lan Rongrong immediately put away their surprised expressions, nodded, and followed Zhu Wei out of the study with confidence.
Zhu Wei led them past villa after villa, and finally stopped in front of the northernmost villa. He said politely, "That villa is where the Third Miss lives. She lives with her nanny. The head of the family should have already made arrangements with the nanny. You can just go find the Third Miss!"
Lan Ziye looked towards the villa. It was a typical European-style villa. Although it was a little smaller than the other villas he had passed along the way, it was decorated quite exquisitely and gave people a very comfortable feeling.
"Okay, we can go in by ourselves, you go back!" Lan Ziye turned to Zhu Wei and said.
"Then I'll leave first!" Zhu Wei replied politely and left.
Seeing Zhu Wei leave, Lan Rongrong said, "The Zhu family isn't as bad to Zhu Ning as the rumors say. At least this house is much better for a favored young lady like me!" Lan Rongrong said with a smile on her face, then she deliberately pretended to be sad and said, "This is probably the difference between a small family like us and aristocratic families like you!"
"Zhu Ning is a legitimate child. Generally, legitimate children would not live in the northernmost part!" Lan Ziye said lightly.
Since ancient times, the south has been superior and the north has been inferior. Three thousand years ago, the north was where servants and guards lived. Times have changed now, but a legitimate daughter should not be allowed to live in the northernmost part.
"That's right! Although this house is nice, its location is really not that great! I was wondering if there will be no sunlight all year round in this location?" Lan Rongrong stroked her chin and said with an appearance that it was worth further investigation.
Lan Ziye smiled. This girl finally understood something.
The two rang the doorbell, and an old woman in her fifties answered and opened the door. The old woman was short and plump, with a kind face. Seeing Lan Ziye and Lan Rongrong, she smiled politely and said, "Are you here to see the third young lady? She's in the room. Come in!"
Lan Ziye nodded and strode in.
Lan Rongrong nodded politely and said, "Thank you!" After that, she followed Lan Ziye happily.
