Ning Zihuan smiled like a little lapdog, his eyes bright and shining as he looked at Yun Ya, like a small pet waiting for praise. Yun Ya hadn’t expected to find out so soon, nodded at his words: "Thank you for your hard work, Zihuan." Ning Zihuan scratched his head: "It’s nothing, it’s what I should do." "But Yun Ya, what do you want to find out about Harun’s descendants? They are of royal lineage, once a force to be reckoned with." He was curious and asked, not expecting Yun Ya to answer him. To his surprise, Ji Yunya looked at him seriously: "For a treasure." Ning Zihuan immediately straightened up, instinctively glanced around, and seeing no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and asked: "Are you serious?" Yun Ya toyed with the spoon, her expression somewhat nonchalant: "Yes." Ning Zihuan’s eyes squinted, he knew Yun Ya wouldn’t lie to him, and even felt a bit moved inside, as Yun Ya was willing to tell him the truth, proving she considered him as one of her own. "Rest assured, I’ll do everything in my power to help you achieve your goal." This was his promise, even if he faced death without regret. "Miss, Miss Fan sent an invitation, please take a look." As Yun Ya just returned home, Uncle Feng walked over with an invitation in hand, respectfully offering it with both hands. Yun Ya took it and opened it, seeing in large print on the red cloud-patterned background. We cordially invite you to the engagement banquet of Fan Weiying and Sun Xi, to be held at Jinyue Hotel on November 22, 20XX, at five o’clock in the afternoon. Kindly prepared light refreshments, sincerely looking forward to your presence, Fan Weiying sincerely invites. Fan Weiying is getting engaged. The day after tomorrow, in fact. In the past two years, they occasionally kept in touch and were considered to be on good terms as friends, so logically, she should attend. "Prepare a red envelope." The maid served her tea, eyes lowered, obedient and humble, Yun Ya glanced at her. The girl was a bit flattered, not knowing why the young lady suddenly asked about her, but respectfully replied: "My name is Ah Yun." She spoke with her head slightly bowed, revealing her jet-black hair and smooth nape. Aunt Li had taught them, when replying to the young lady, always be respectful, never look directly into her eyes, keep a low posture. After all, just a maid serving tea, even in this age advocating equality for all, money remains the dividing line determining status. Yun Ya nodded slightly, "Raise your head." Ah Yun slowly lifted her head, looking at the girl in front of her, it was her first time seriously observing this girl of legendary status, stunningly beautiful, like the ancient saying of a face that could topple nations, especially after being honed by time, her tranquil and deep eyes added a touch of mystery, almost pulling one into them. With just a glance, she quickly lowered her head again, her hand under her sleeve slightly clenching. "How long have you been here?" Ah Yun was just about to speak, when Aunt Li, thinking she had offended the young lady, quickly came over blocking in front of Ah Yun and said with a smile: "Miss, this girl Ah Yun hasn’t been here long, if she accidentally offended miss, it is my fault, please punish me instead." Ah Yun looked at the somewhat plump figure blocking her, feeling touched inside, no matter how strict Aunt Li seemed, when troubles arose she was always the first to stand up for them. Yun Ya curved her lips: "Aunt Li, you’re overthinking." Ah Yun tugged on Aunt Li’s sleeve: "Aunt Li, miss was asking me a question." Aunt Li awkwardly smiled.

With those words, she turned and went upstairs. Ah Yun was still a bit dazed, Aunt Li was the first to react, laughing as she held Ah Yun’s hand: "You lucky girl, being chosen by the miss, from now on you must serve her well, understand? Being by her side to serve is an opportunity many could only dream of, not just because of the doubled pay, but because you gain experience no amount of money could buy, come with me, I’ll brief you on the miss’s likes and dislikes...." She had only been at the Ji Family for a month, and had heard there was someone serving closely by the miss before, but they left due to family issues. In the competition to serve the miss, the household maids discreetly vied amongst each other, her being new, had never thought about it, yet unexpectedly, luck came her way.
