Although the Song Family and the Huo Family were both in City A, there was no interaction between them on normal days.
Now that Qi Ming saw Fang Han coming over, especially asking for Nan Yu, suspicion arose in his heart.
"Butler Fang, our Young Madam Huo is ill and not in a condition to meet guests. May I ask what it is you need?"
Fang Han’s eyebrows knitted slightly, expressing concern, "Is Young Madam Huo seriously ill?"
Qi Ming politely and distantly replied, "Young Madam Huo had a persistent high fever a few days ago and is currently weak. The doctor said she needs to rest quietly for a few days."
Fang Han pondered for a moment, then handed what he was holding to Qi Ming.
"Butler Qi, since Young Madam Huo is ill, I shouldn’t disturb her further. This is something my lady specifically instructed me to bring for Young Madam Huo."
Qi Ming’s eyes moved downward and noticed it was an invitation card. He asked curiously, "What is this?"
Fang Han replied, "Saturday is my lady’s birthday banquet, and she invites Young Madam Huo to attend. Butler Qi, please pass it on to her."
Qi Ming accepted the invitation, "All right."
As soon as Fang Han left, Qi Ming turned and went upstairs, heading straight to Nan Yu’s room.
At that moment, Nan Yu was being pressed down onto the bed by Nanny Wang, who was tucking her in carefully.
"Young Madam, do you have any dietary restrictions, or is there anything you’d like to eat?"
Nan Yu lay in a room filled with red "happiness" characters, looked at Nanny Wang’s overly enthusiastic demeanor, and stiffly said, "Anything is fine."
The newly arrived Qi Ming, all smiles, handed the invitation he was holding to Nan Yu.
"Young Madam, this is an invitation from Butler Fang of the Song Family. It’s specifically from Old Madam Song, inviting you to her birthday banquet on Saturday."
Hearing this, Nan Yu’s bright eyes sparkled with excitement; she quickly sat up and took the invitation from his hands.
She had been worried about not finding a way, and unexpectedly, the Song Family had delivered it directly to her.
Heaven was truly helping her!
Qi Ming continued, "Young Madam, your luggage has also been prepared. The family doctor will come over this afternoon to check on you again."
"You should rest for a while now, and we won’t disturb you any further."
Having said that, he and Nanny Wang both exited the room.
Downstairs, Nanny Wang moved closer to Qi Ming and asked softly, "Qi Ming, the Huo Family and the Song Family have never interacted, and there are even some disagreements. Why would they send an invitation to Young Madam today?"
Qi Ming, still smiling, replied casually, "Perhaps because the Song Family and the Nan Family have a good relationship, they specifically invited Young Madam."
Upon hearing this, a light flashed in Nanny Wang’s mind.
"Qi Ming, I suddenly remembered something I heard before. The Song Family has always wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Nan Family. If it weren’t for the young master’s prior engagement with the Nan Family, Young Madam might have been married to that person from the Song Family."
She narrowed her eyes, showing a bit of wariness, "Do you think Old Madam Song’s invitation to Young Madam means she hasn’t given up?"
Qi Ming was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "Those are just baseless talks. Moreover, Young Madam is now our young master’s wife and the young mistress of the Huo Family. The Song Family wouldn’t dare, and indeed couldn’t entertain such thoughts."
His smile faded, and his tone became serious, "Nanny Wang, our task is to take good care of Young Madam with all our effort. We shouldn’t mention this matter again in the future."
Nanny Wang met Qi Ming’s warning cold gaze, got a shock, patted her mouth a few times, and hurriedly said, "Butler Qi, I was speaking nonsense just now. Just ignore what I said. I will go and prepare lunch now."
The lingering Qi Ming, gazed toward the direction of Nan Yu’s room upstairs, his eyes cold as ice.
The next second, he put on a smile again, as if nothing had
