As she racked her brains without finding an answer, Nanny Zhang leaned in and said, "These shoes were brought over by the Second Master last night; he had them delivered overnight.

It might really have nothing to do with the Second Master. You shouldn't dwell on it anymore... Now, having the Second Master as a solid backing is truly a blessing from our ancestors for the old Xiang Family."
Xiang Wan put down the shoes in her hand, picked a pair of inconspicuous white casual shoes in the corner, but did not respond to Nanny Zhang's words.
