Nangong Ruyue no longer asked his personal questions but inquired about his relationship with Jian Yufei and the others.
This was sothing Jian Yufei could answer.
Jian Yufei briefly explained, and after Nangong Ruyue understood the situation, she seed a bit tired.
However, she didn’t want to rest and wanted to chat a little longer with Jian Yufei and the others.
Jian Yufei advised her, "Madam, you should rest. Take good care of your health."
Nangong Ruyue looked at her with gentle eyes, smiled, nodded, and rang for a servant to attend to her.
Carrie personally helped her upstairs to rest.
Jian Yufei and the others also left, planning to explore the surroundings.
...
After helping Nangong Ruyue lie down, Carrie covered her with an air conditioning blanket.
"Madam seems to be in a good mood today," Carrie chatted with her with a smile.
Nangong Ruyue nodded, [Going out for so fresh air makes one feel better.]
"Sir often tells that Madam is always in low spirits and supposedly aloof from earthly matters. Seeing Madam chatting happily with Mr. Hua today, it dispels all those rumors."
With a sincere smile, Carrie laughed, and Nangong Ruyue glanced at her, her expression cooled a bit.
[My attitude depends on the person.]
In other words, she didn’t regard Nangong Xu fondly!
Carrie said with a smile, "Madam, take a good rest. Call us if you need anything."
With that, she quietly left the room, gently closing the door behind her.
Outside stood a maid, and Carrie asked her, "Where is Miss Betty?"
"Miss Betty went with the other guests."
Carrie slightly raised an eyebrow; Betty was her sister’s daughter and a younger relative of Nangong Xu.
Although she worked as a maid here, she was always raised like a young lady.
She’d never served anyone before, so it was surprising to see her so proactive this ti.
...
Betty led Jian Yufei and the others around, and then they arrived at a grassland.
Pointing to the cliff not far away, Betty said, "That place is dangerous. So people have accidentally fallen while playing there, so don’t get too close."
Hua Zhongsheng, although he couldn’t see anything, was still supported by Jian Yufei to walk with them.
"Miss Betty, you can go ahead with your tasks. We’d like to take a walk here," Jian Yufei said to her.
Betty smiled gently, "You are the guests, and I am also considered half a host here. How could I leave you alone? That would be impolite."
"Half a host?" Jian Yufei was slightly surprised.
She thought Betty was just a maid.
Betty glanced at Ruan Tianling and said sowhat proudly, "Mr. Nangong is my elder, my grandmother is Mr. Nangong’s grandaunt, and Mr. Nangong’s father was my grandmother’s cousin. And Carrie, she is my aunt. Here in this castle, even though we are servants, we are also considered as half hosts since we manage the castle."
Jian Yufei hadn’t expected such a relationship.
Nominally, Nangong Xu was her stepfather, which ant that she was sort of sisters with Betty?
Jian Yufei felt a chill!
She had already disliked Betty; now, she disliked her even more.
Betty continued to boast, "You saw earlier, we have many precious trees and flowers planted on the mountain, as well as so livestock farming. These industries bring in an annual inco of four to five million British Pounds, and my aunt Carrie and I hold shares, with having 5% and her 10%."
This ant from dividends alone, she received over 200,000 British Pounds, equivalent to more than two million RMB.
