Chapter 296: Patience

"When?"

Shulan quickly replied: "Seven days from now."

"Hmm, I got it. You tell father that I will attend this banquet. Remember to investigate the matter of Miss Ah Lian thoroughly."

"Yes." Shulan bowed slightly and then exited the room.

Only after seeing Shulan's figure disappear did Ji Xinhe turn to Xiaoyu, who was silently standing at one side. She gave a slight smile, noting that this maiden kept her calm well.

She abruptly promoted Xiaoyu from a janitor to a maid in her own room, and then moved her up to first-rank maid. Forget about others, but Shulan probably would not be too comfortable with this. And thus, she gave Shulan more special treatment.

Additionally, it was to test Xiaoyu's character.

After all, climbing too quickly can easily result in arrogance due to pampering.
