After Xiao Qing and Pang Ya had set up the morning meal and withdrawn, only Nanny Qi and Lian Hua were left in the room.
Lian Hua sat in her place, looking at Nanny Qi, who was also looking at her.
Her eyes shifted, and she gently parted her crimson lips, adopting a gentle and serene demeanor as she said, "Grandma, please sit down and join me for the meal."
The girl had grown increasingly accustomed to calling her "Grandma," a title to which Nanny Qi had become used, ignoring it outright and saying unmoved, "Master Lian, there is a distinction between master and servant, how can a servant dine with her master? It's enough that you have a good meal."
Lian Hua took out a handkerchief, held her forehead, and with a slight furrow of her brow, said, "But I am used to having someone accompany me during meals; if there is no one, it does not taste as good."
"Master Lian will get used to it in time," Nanny Qi continued sternly, as if she couldn't see through the girl's little schemes.
