Nanny Sun nodded repeatedly, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and finally could speak of her true intentions, feeling extremely weary at heart.
Young Master Lian said apologetically, "I thought you had time to spare, Nanny. I misunderstood you. Since that's the case, Xiao Qing can see you out."
Then, turning to Nanny Sun, she said, "Please don't take offense, Nanny. We at Canglan Court are short-staffed. The Sunflower Trees need tending before they spoil, and we can't afford to entertain you right now. Once things quiet down and you have some free time, why don't you come back for a proper visit?"
As she spoke, she looked at Nanny Sun with an apologetic face, reassuringly patted her hand, and took over the tool in her hand. The Palace Maid by her side also set down what she was holding and came to escort Nanny Sun away.
Nanny Sun's mouth hung open as she chewed on her words, unsure of what else to say.
Had Young Master Lian misunderstood her visit as a social call?
