Xiao Xi was a servant girl specially selected for Su Wenyue by the An Family and the Su brothers. She had been serving Su Wenyue since she was little and understood her mistress’s habits well. Outspoken and unreserved, she knew some basic martial arts and was extremely loyal to Su Wenyue, willingly following her mistress to endure the rural hardships.

“Miss, at last, I can follow you again.” Xiao Xi, carrying a large bundle, ran to Su Wenyue’s side and said with a beaming smile.

“Following me will be tough – are you scared?” Su Wenyue saw Xiao Xi’s joyous demeanor and thought that anyone who didn’t know better might think they were going to a pleasant place. Only this girl could be so silly.

In her previous life, when she was at the Han Family, Xiao Xi had come to look for her several times, requesting to serve by her side. At that time, Su Wenyue was filled with resentment and never accepted anyone from the Su Family, sending Xiao Xi away every time. Su Wenyue still remembered the sorrowful and dim expression on Xiao Xi’s face when she was turned away. Later, when she was in that mansion, she realized that the servant girls who served her paled in comparison to Xiao Xi.

“Miss, I was sold by my parents when I was little and later followed a troupe. Starving was common, and I often got beaten and scolded by people in the troupe. Only after the Madam and Young Master bought me and I began serving you did I start having good days. Not to mention the extra care you showed me, you were better to me than to the other maids. You always thought of me when good opportunities arose. You are the best person to me in this world. I will follow you for the rest of my life, no matter how hard or tiring it is. ”

Su Wenyue listened to Xiao Xi’s words and felt flustered because Xiao Xi was the one who always followed her orders without hesitation, with swift and nimble movements. As a result, whenever Su Wenyue caused trouble, she dragged Xiao Xi into it, getting her servant wrongfully punished as well. If it had been another maid, they might have harbored resentment, but Xiaoxi thought differently, believing that Su Wenyue trusted her and that was why she was included in her schemes. But in fact, Su Wenyue did greatly “value” Xiao Xi’s abilities; after all, Xiao Xi was an expert at climbing walls and trees and had been her partner in numerous “major events”, loyal and unlikely to betray her to her parents or elder brothers.

“Xiao Xi, well done! You indeed are a loyal and devoted maid. Rest assured, as your mistress, I will make sure you never go hungry.”

“I trust you, Miss!” Xiao Xi responded with firm conviction.

With Xiao Xi by her side, Su Wenyue felt immensely empowered. Although she was past the age for mischief, Xiao Xi could do much more than just assist in her unruly antics.

After being taken to Guilin by the An Family and her brothers Su Hengyi and Su Hengxuan on multiple occasions, Xiao Xi proved to be quite capable, and her talents had improved. That was why the An Family sent her back to Su Wenyue. With the changes this life brought, Master Su had already entrusted Su Wenyue with the management of the Zhuangzi earlier than expected. With Xiao Xi around, it became much more convenient to relay messages or handle affairs.

Han Yu had no objections to his Mother-in-law sending along such a simple servant girl for his wife. Seeing the interaction between his wife and the maid, he knew these two were cut from the same cloth, both equally silly at times. Occasionally, Han Yu understood that his wife wasn’t as naive as she appeared.

“Son-in-law, my precious daughter is in your hands now; take good care of her.”
