the next day.
Cai Xiufen yawned and went downstairs. After waking up in the early morning, she couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't until just now that the heat in her body subsided. She wanted to rest, but she was no longer sleepy, so she just got up and stared at Mu Shaoling and read Mu.
"Eldest lady, you're awake." The housekeeper noticed her haggard look, and he understood why.
Cai Xiufen must have been tossing and staying up all night, after all, the old man asked someone to prepare a strong medicine, even if she was a middle-aged woman, it would be difficult for her to resist the effect of the medicine.
"Is breakfast ready in the kitchen?" Cai Xiufen asked.
"The cook is still preparing." The butler answered with lowered eyebrows.
Cai Xiufen said displeased: "Still preparing? What kind of efficiency is this?"
The butler glanced at the time, then bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Madam, the cook didn't know you would wake up so early today."
He didn't say it was still early, if Cai Xiufen heard it, she would point to his nose and say it was an excuse to be lazy.
Cai Xiufen snorted coldly, she and the housekeeper were the only ones in the living room, it seemed that the other nannies hadn't come to work yet.
She did get up early today, but she didn't allow it to be an excuse, "Let the cook work more diligently, and prepare breakfast earlier in the future."
"Yes." The butler replied, although he agreed, but he didn't intend to listen to her.
The breakfast preparation time in the old house is usually in accordance with the old man's schedule. After all, he is usually the first person to wake up in this family. The breakfast is ready, and the old man has just woken up, so the breakfast is fresh and will not be cold.
Breakfast was not ready yet, so Cai Xiufen could only sit on the sofa. When the butler was about to go to work, she heard her asking, "Did anything happen in the old house last night?"
"What are you referring to?" The butler stopped and looked at her respectfully.
Cai Xiufen frowned, and secretly scolded him for his ignorance, so she could only speak more bluntly, "It's the person who stayed here overnight, did anything happen?"
"Ma'am, you know the rest time. If there is no special matter, I can't go up to the upper floor to disturb everyone's rest." The butler said, implying that it was impossible for him to know if something happened.
Unless the people upstairs allow him, he usually won't go up.
"You didn't pay more attention to a stranger who lived at home. You failed as a housekeeper." Cai Xiufen was dissatisfied with his answer and thought he should keep an eye on Nian Mu.
The butler was helpless, knowing that she was targeting Nian Mu, and he didn't know what Nian Mu had done wrong, so he was targeted like this.
It may be that the old man likes her very much, and the young master of their family also has a different affection for Nian Mu, so Cai Xiufen is like this.
The butler thought about it, and reminded her gently, "Madam, that's the old man's guest, how can I do this?"
The old man let Nianmu stay overnight, and even arranged a guest room upstairs, which proved that he trusted Nianmu.
Cai Xiufen can't touch anyone the old man trusts.
"Even if the old man is staying overnight, you should be more careful. Isn't this the responsibility of being a housekeeper?" Cai Xiufen was sullen, and because she didn't have a good rest, she would find excuses to explode at any time.
The housekeeper glanced at the time, and said helplessly, "Eldest madam, the old man should be getting up, I'll help him wash up first."
Cai Xiufen stared at the back of the housekeeper leaving, and pinched the surface of the leather sofa tightly with her fingers in anger. The housekeeper of this family didn't take her seriously either!
After a while, she slowly let go of her hand, the surface of the sofa has been crumpled.
Cai Xiufen secretly swore in her heart that if Mr. Mu left one day, the first thing she would do would be to fire the housekeeper.
after an hour.
Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling also went downstairs one after another.
Mr. Mu was already sitting on a chair in the dining room, waiting for them to have breakfast together.
Seeing that Mu Shaoling and Nianmu didn't walk in holding hands as expected, a look of disappointment flashed across the old man's face.
Could it be that Mu Shaoling didn't grasp the opportunity last night?
Both of them drank soup, shouldn't be...
Mr. Mu explored the faces of the two of them, and it seemed that there were some dark circles under their eyes.
"Hi, grandpa."
"Hi, old man." Nianmu and Mu Shaoling greeted together.
"Okay, sit down and get ready for breakfast." Mr. Mu greeted them, thinking to himself, could it be that the two of them didn't lose face last night and silently endured the effects of the medicine on their bodies, so they couldn't sleep all night?
Nianmu sat where he had been at dinner yesterday.
The housekeeper and nanny were busy serving breakfast.
Old Master Mu took the opportunity to ask, "Miss Nian, did you rest well yesterday?"
Speaking of yesterday, Nian Mu believes that Mr. Mu definitely asked on purpose, because she can now be sure that there is something wrong with yesterday's soup.
Moreover, her abnormality seems to be longer than Mu Shaoling's. She believes that this is not caused by the difference in physique, but that the herbal tea may have the same effect.
So the old man gave her two medicines.
Nian Mu was a little speechless, he never thought that the always upright old man would do such a thing for her and Mu Shaoling.
"I'm resting well, thank you, old man, for your concern." She could only bite the bullet and say things that contradicted the facts.
In fact, she didn't sleep well last night.
The same goes for Mu Shaoling.
She thought that after being hugged by Mu Shaoling, she would be able to sleep peacefully and sleep until dawn, after all, he was her sleeping pill.
However, what she didn't expect was that after she closed her eyes, her sleep became hotter and hotter, and her drowsiness disappeared, but her spirit did not come, because the discomfort almost ate her sanity.
Mu Shaoling didn't fall asleep either, he had the same problem as himself.
In the end, his hands were restless, and she was powerless to stop him.
Although the two of them didn't make it to the last step, what should have happened almost happened. Anyway, they relied on each other to barely restrain the agitation in their bodies.
There is no so-called union, but it is very obsessed, like a pair of men and women who desire each other, asking for sweetness and fragrance from each other to satisfy their inner desires.
So, when she woke up today, she felt weak.
It is estimated that it was caused by the fatigue last night and the side effects of the medicine.
"Did you really rest well? But your face looks..." Mr. Mu wanted to say more, but was stopped by Mu Shaoling.
"Grandpa, let's have breakfast," he said.
"What are you in a hurry for? Can I chat with Girl Nian before eating?" Old Master Mu gave him a blank look, and did nothing? Cowardly, it was a waste of his heart and preparation.
"I'm going to the airport for a business trip later..." Mu Shaoling said, reminding him that it's time for breakfast.
Elderly people don't move their chopsticks, let alone those of the younger generation.
