Chapter 139 - 88 Night Talk_2
Ran Yan, listening to Xing Nanny’s tone, seemed unaware of her earlier departure, thus she changed the subject and asked, "Have Wan Lu and Xiao Man awoken?"
Xing Nanny, while wringing her hair, replied, "Wan Lu sleeps soundly and can’t be woken up no matter how much you call her. Xiao Man is awake, though. This old slave doesn’t sleep much due to age, so I let her continue resting."
Ran Yan hummed in acknowledgment. Xing Nanny rambled on, "My lady mustn’t wash your hair with cold water again next time. A woman’s body is delicate indeed, and if you fall ill when you’re young, you’ll suffer greatly in your old age."
"I won’t do it again next time." Ran Yan understood this reasoning, thus she obediently agreed with Xing Nanny.
Ran Yan’s hair was very long, and it took a while to wring it dry, so she asked Xing Nanny, "Did you manage to find out about the matters down the mountain during the day?"
She already knew Xing Nanny would have inquired; this question was merely to learn about the situation at the foot of the mountain.
Xing Nanny sighed before speaking, "The Yan Family is still concerned about the Ran family’s reputation after all. They have settled a marriage arrangement but chose the fifteenth young lady, Ran Meixi, for it."
"Fifteenth young lady? With Yan ErLiang?" Ran Yan raised an eyebrow. The fifteenth young lady was a concubine-born daughter from the third branch of the family. Such a status was surely not a match for Yan ErLiang, whom the Yan Family treasured dearly.
