Chapter 261 - 260 A Big Fuss
"That’s true, we’re all women, and there are many things in the government office we don’t understand," Zhou Biyao sighed sorrowfully, then said earnestly to Ye Xinyan, "Sister Qi, from now on, don’t refer to yourself as just a ’simple woman,’ nor call me Second Miss. The future of my family is uncertain, but Sister Qi has already caught the attention of Duke An’s Mansion. Who knows when the Duke’s Mansion might send someone to invite Sister Qi to visit the capital city? With your intelligence and capability, it’s possible that Duke An’s Mansion might ask you to stay. Sister Qi, your status is already quite high now."
"Second Miss jests. I am merely a peasant woman; how could I have such opportunities?" Ye Xinyan replied resolutely. The capital city? Not going. Given the various contexts set by the original host, if her completely different character appeared, it would be full of traps everywhere, and she could not go.
Speaking of which, Zhou Biyao looked a bit more spirited and asked curiously, "Sister Qi, do you really look exactly like the Duke’s Mansion’s young lady?"
"Who knows? They say we look somewhat alike," Ye Xinyan replied indifferently, glancing at Zhou Biyao. Being the same person, of course they looked exactly alike. "Alright, Second Miss must be tired from the journey; you should take a nap first. I’ll go find Nanny Liu to arrange a place for you to stay."
As she spoke, she called for Nanny Liu to come in.
As soon as Nanny Liu entered, she saw Zhou Biyao clinging to Ye Xinyan, saying, "Sister Qi, could you please stop calling me Second Miss from now on? It’s possible that I might become just the daughter of a commoner. It’s embarrassing for me when you address me that way."
"It’s not as bad as becoming a commoner’s daughter; don’t worry about it," Ye Xinyan struggled to free her sleeve from Zhou Biyao, "Let Nanny Liu settle the Second Miss down to rest. I, as a simple woman, still have plenty to do and am in a hurry. I won’t accompany Second Miss any longer." Could you hear that now? Dear sister, I don’t want to get too friendly with you.
Zhou Biyao looked at her pitifully, pleading, "Or, could you teach me some skills? If I learn to work, even if my family falls on hard times, I can still earn my own living."
