Chapter 1024 - 008 Chatterbox (First Update)
Early the next morning, Lin Yuan woke up feeling refreshed and clear-headed, and the kitchen had already prepared breakfast. Although the meal wasn’t as delicious as the ones Lin Yuan made, it was delicate and since they weren’t very hungry after last night’s hot pot, no one complained about breakfast not tasting good.
After breakfast, Lady Liu, accompanied by a few maids, began packing up her luggage in her room, while Lin Jiaxin took little Xiao Yongyan for a stroll around the mansion.

Of course, if it’s an urgent matter, you have full authority to deal with it without needing to report to me first," Lin Yuan handed the keys Lady Liu gave her last night to Butler Zhou.
Looking at the keys, Zhou Yang was somewhat startled. Although he was a butler for the first time, he had heard quite a bit before, but it was the first time he had heard of being given full authority to handle emergencies, like Lin Yuan had offered.
