Early the next morning, Dan Xiaoya stretched and sat up from the bed. The maidservant Xiaoyu was waiting nearby and said, “Madam, you’re awake. The General wants you to go to the study.”
Dan Xiaoya asked in confusion, “Do you know what he wants this early?”
Xiaoyu shook her head. “Madam, please go quickly. The General has been waiting for a long time.”
Dan Xiaoya nodded. “I see. Go about your business!” Then she walked towards the study…
At the study door, she heard Hu Yannan’s voice: “Li Nanny, please help. She needs to learn the etiquette of Gold Sun Country and the rules of my household. I want to see her change.”
A coquettish voice responded: “General, you can rest assured. In one month, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
Dan Xiaoya had a feeling that they were discussing something related to her. She cleared her throat. “Hmm! General, you wanted to see me?” and walked in…
Hu Yannan looked at Dan Xiaoya, his eyes filled with tenderness. “You’re awake! Come and meet Li Nanny. She’s the teacher I’ve hired for you. From now on, you’ll learn the etiquette of Gold Sun Country and the household rules to avoid embarrassing yourself.”
Dan Xiaoya glanced at Li Nanny and asked, “General, when did I say I wanted to learn etiquette and rules? You must be mistaken.”
Hu Yannan patiently said, “This is my decision. Just follow Li Nanny and learn.”
Dan Xiaoya firmly opposed, “I don’t agree! What right do you have to decide for me? I won’t learn!”
Hu Yannan’s smile froze on his face. “This is settled. Don’t say anything more.”
“Do you think I’ll embarrass you with my lack of etiquette? It’s fine. I can leave, and I promise never to tell anyone I know you. You can be at ease.”
Hu Yannan looked at Dan Xiaoya with complex emotions, wanting to say something but holding back.
He told Li Nanny, “Li Nanny, she’s in your hands. Please teach her carefully.”
