After everything was settled and dusk was falling, Xiao Yun hesitated as Xuemei gave Hehua some instructions.
After pursing her lips, she mustered up the courage to say to the departing Xuemei, "Sister Xuemei, can I stay here with Miss Hehua for the night?"
She actually wanted to stay here for one more night. After all, she had been called an orphan since childhood, and now that she had an older brother, she wanted to stay to cook a meal for him.
Xuemei was taken aback by her request. Xiao Yun was no longer a servant of Prince Manor, and since the princess treated her with decorum, Xuemei had no say in the matter.
So she smiled and replied, "Of course, isn't your brother here? You two haven't lived together for so many years. Stay for a few more days."
Seeing Xuemei's consent, the still-hesitant Xiao Yun's face brightened up, and she bowed, "Thank you, Sister Xuemei."
Xuemei returned the bow and smiled, "Then I'll leave first."
