"Yan Yan, I have some business to discuss with Duke Holtz. If you find it boring, feel free to wander around outside," Bo Xijue said, giving Nan Yan a legitimate reason to explore the duke's mansion, saving her the trouble of sneaking around.
As expected, Duke Holtz, not wanting to neglect an important guest brought by Bo Xijue, quickly arranged for someone to accompany Nan Yan.
However, Nan Yan declined, "I'll just wander around on my own. I don't want anyone following me."
"Alright, if you need anything, feel free to ask," Duke Holtz said kindly, then instructed his wife, "Darling, go see what Euphemia is doing. If she's free, have her come and keep this young lady company."
"Alright, I'll go right away."
Lady Carl, who didn't want to intrude on her husband's conversation with Bo Xijue, went to find Euphemia, intending to have her entertain the girl Bo Xijue brought along.
