Chapter 1080: Chapter 1079: Clever Child
The matter has been almost dealt with.
Aunt He and Uncle Cheng led Han Panpan out of the room, their faces cold and devoid of the usual reproach.
But...
Han Panpan wished they would swear at her to death.
Because it doesn’t matter anymore...
They would abandon her; she understood this rule within wealthy families.
Han Panpan’s tears fell madly as she passed the staircase, where she bumped into An Xiangxiang head-on.
An Xiangxiang was carrying a black tray filled with various delicious dishes.
Aunt He was slightly surprised and called out to her, asking, "Is it for the Eldest Young Master?"
An Xiangxiang quickly shook her head, replied, "It’s for the Young Madam."
This child is truly clever; Aunt He exchanged a glance with Old Cheng, and they both could see the appreciation in each other’s eyes.
These days, the Li Family has been too chaotic, causing the servants at home to busy themselves blindly.
They thought everyone had forgotten their duties.
Aunt He nodded in approval, clearly satisfied with An Xiangxiang’s performance, and said, "The Young Madam is not in a good mood, be careful serving her. If it doesn’t work out, come out early, and just leave the Eldest Young Master in the room."
The Eldest Young Master has returned...
An Xiangxiang was surprised, her gaze involuntarily falling behind Aunt He on Han Panpan, who was sobbing softly. She couldn’t help but have some idea and had guessed most of it.
"Don’t worry, Aunt He, I’ll take good care of the Young Madam."
Aunt He nodded in relief and said no more.
She and Uncle Cheng departed, taking Han Panpan with them to handle her resignation procedures.
Sometimes, that’s how people are; they can easily reach for the stars or fall into the abyss, all depending on their choices.
An Xiangxiang did not boast because Han Panpan was dismissed; instead, she took it as a warning, not wanting to make her mistakes.
...
’Knock knock knock—’
An Xiangxiang carefully knocked on the door.
"Young Madam, I’ve brought you some food."
Another maid has arrived?
Li Yan raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.
However, as the person called out for the Young Madam, he said nothing more.
Gu Tong heard An Xiangxiang’s voice at the door and calmly said, "Come in."
An Xiangxiang walked in gracefully, holding the tray, and placed the dishes on the table one by one, saying, "I remember the Young Madam likes spicy food, so I prepared Sichuan cuisine. I didn’t know the Eldest Young Master would return, so I wasn’t prepared."
These words should have been to explain to the Eldest Young Master, but An Xiangxiang didn’t look at Li Yan and instead directed her gaze entirely at Gu Tong, seemingly explaining to her.
Gu Tong propped her chin and chuckled lightly, "Xiangxiang, you remembered what I like to eat, such care."
Gu Tong’s taste is indeed quite strong; she loves spicy, salty, numb, and sour flavors, though she rarely shows it. Unexpectedly, An Xiangxiang knew.
An Xiangxiang laughed and said, "Yesterday, while clearing the dishes, I noticed a lack of spicy dishes, thinking the Young Madam should love them."
She truly is an observant maid.
Fortunately, such a maid chose to serve her rather than directing all her intentions toward Li Yan; otherwise, Gu Tong would have more trouble.
Li Yan, who hadn’t spoken all along, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why do you observe the Young Madam’s meals?"
Observing meals can easily lead to tampering with food; Li Yan understood this logic and remained vigilant about it.
An Xiangxiang’s heart tightened, and she instinctively asked, "Young Madam, do you want to hear the truth or a lie..."
