"Miss, if you don't go out soon, Second Madame will probably be waiting anxiously for you." Xingyu had a worried look on her face. She wasn't speaking up for Mrs. Shen and giving her rewards, but if Mrs. Shen made use of this matter to give Miss a reason for being disrespectful and then let Master give her some face, Miss would definitely be punished.

"It's fine." Nan Zhijun smiled faintly, as if she was very confident. Xingyu calmed down when she heard this. She looked around in the mirror and instructed, "Bring me that glass plum blossom hairpin. Your clothes are lighter today, and your hairpin must be more clean."

Xingyu hurriedly took out the hairpin. After dressing herself, Nan Zhijun nodded in satisfaction at the person in the mirror. When she walked out of the Nan's Estate realm, she saw Mrs. Shen opening the curtain and looking anxiously towards the residence. The moment Nan Zhijun appeared, Mrs. Shen's wrinkled brows relaxed. She revealed an extremely gentle smile as she waved the handkerchief in her hand towards Nan Zhijun.

Nan Zhijun smiled as well, not at all lacking in manners.

After getting on the carriage, Mrs. Shen took the other girl's hand and handed it over to Nan Zhijun. "Although it was a misunderstanding about the hot spring a few days ago, if we don't open the door now, it will inevitably hurt your friendship. Today, we will enjoy it together and take advantage of this opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding from a few days ago. Young lady, what do you think? "

Mrs. Shen's words confirmed that the hot spring incident the day before had been an accident, and if Nan Zhijun insisted on continuing, she would appear to be a selfish and willful young lady who disregarded her sisterhood. After all, Second Madame had personally come out to apologize to a junior and had also come to pay respects with Nan Zhijun. As a junior, even if Nan Zhijun had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, what could she possibly do in the face of such a situation?

In his previous life, all he knew was that Mrs. Shen was a well-informed person. In the entire Nan's Estate, there was no one who didn't praise Mrs. Shen for being impartial in her conduct of things. However, Nan Zhijun immediately noticed many things wrong with her life after she was reborn.

At this time, a warm and soft hand gently shook in her palm. Nan Zhijun looked at it with an indescribable smile on her face. The owner of this hand also looked at Nan Zhijun. His face was full of uneasiness, and his eyes were clear like those of a young beast in the forest, untainted by dust.

This was the second young miss of Nan's Estate, Nan Yurou.

Although she was still young, it was clear with a single glance that this girl would definitely become a peerless beauty in the future.

"Big sister, what happened two days ago was Yurou's fault. This time, I'm asking big sister to go with my mother to the Smoke Lake because I hope big sister can forgive Yurou …" As she spoke, Nan Yurou gently shook Nan Zhijun's hand. If it was anyone else, they would probably be shaken to their hearts by Nan Yurou.

Who would dare to believe that such an innocent and adorable girl would try to bully her to be afraid of water a few days ago and drown her head in a hot spring?

Lili calmly withdrew her hand and smiled. "What are you talking about? Zhijun has already forgotten all about it."

Seeing Nan Zhijun's sincere expression, which did not seem fake, Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment and then stopped thinking about it. They only had the chance to chat with Nan Zhijun, leaving Nan Yurou to the side.

Nan Zhijun's expression remained the same, but she was laughing in her heart. There must be something behind this anomaly. What plans did Mrs. Shen have? She couldn't hide anything from others. However, it wasn't time to counterattack yet. Since Mrs. Shen was willing to play a part with her, she might as well play a good part with Mrs. Shen.

It was only ten miles outside of the city, at Smoke Lake. Along the way, although there were many people, once they saw the Nan Family, every single one of them would move to the side of the road, revealing expressions of reverence.

It had only been nineteen years since Dayuan was founded, but there were still enemies at the borders. If not for Great General Nan Tiayao personally guarding the borders and intimidating the Barbarian, Dayuan's commoners life would not be as peaceful as it was now.

This was respect for Nan Tiayao, and even more so for the soldiers who were fighting with their lives.

The scene outside the carriage was captured by the people inside. Mrs. Shen and Nan Yurou's faces were filled with pride, while Nan Zhijun remained silent. Her eyes turned slightly as she sighed inwardly.

His father was a tough man. Even though he didn't die on the battlefield, he still didn't know how to teach his relatives to chop off their heads. Who said that people didn't have long to live? That was right.

Just as he was in a trance, someone patted his body. Nan Zhijun snapped out of her daze and saw Nan Yurou patting her. Seeing her looking at her, Nan Yurou smiled shyly. "Big sister, we've arrived at Smoke Wave Lake. Let's get out of the car together."

Nan Zhijun forced a smile as she agreed. Mrs. Shen and Nan Yurou got off the carriage first, with Nan Zhijun last. Just as she got off the carriage, Xingyu and the other maidservant's carriages also arrived. Xingyu didn't wait for the carriage to come to a stop, and she was the first one to get off the carriage.

Nan Zhijun was both amused and moved. She intimately caressed Xingyu's hair. She was originally a young girl of the same age as Xingyu, so this action of hers seemed extremely strange. Xingyu glared at Nan Zhijun accusingly as she quickly smoothed out her hair. A pair of eyes gazed upon Nan Zhijun's body, and suddenly let out a low exclamation, "Miss, why did you change a scented sachet? Isn't the fish lotus scented sachet rather good-looking?"

"I'm still wearing it. It's just that I'm wearing an extra scented sachet." Nan Zhijun pursed her lips and smiled. "That fish-lotus scented sachet that Xingyu embroidered for me. I've always been wearing it."

Xingyu could not help but feel embarrassed when her little thoughts were exposed. On the other hand, Nan Zhijun was happy. After all, Xingyu's existence reminded her that this world was not filled with cold-blooded people.

Mrs. Shen called out to her, and Xingyu followed Nan Zhijun to Mrs. Shen's side. The other maidservant chattered incessantly around Xingyu, clearly intending to separate Xingyu from her. Nan Zhijun gave Xingyu a look of reassurance before following Mrs. Shen.

Having received Nan Zhijun's signal, Xingyu calmed down a little and restrained her temper, wholeheartedly listening to the gossip of the other maidservant.

The surface of Smoke Lake was filled with lotus flowers. It seemed like he couldn't see the end of it. Layer upon layer of lotus flower shop will pass, the sun is big, lotus blossoms are especially hot. Nan Zhijun looked at the lotus flowers and remained silent. She was a bit captivated by the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers.

Mrs. Shen was still conversing with her for a while, but her eyes were looking left and right, seemingly restless. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she shot a look at Nan Yurou. Nan Yurou then rubbed her lower abdomen, crying out in pain.

"I'm afraid Yurou's cold is back." Mrs. Shen's expression was bitter as she glanced at Nan Zhijun. "Eldest Miss, please stay here for a while. Aunt will be back soon."
