Tong Xiyan looked expressionlessly at Nanny Duan, raised her hand to take the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Without even lifting her eyes, she lowered them back to the book and said in a flat tone, "You can leave now, I'd like to be alone for a while." Nanny Duan hesitated as she looked at her, feeling uneasy in her heart as her eyelids had been twitching for the past two days. She felt something was off, yet other than talking less and being more silent than usual, she didn't notice anything wrong with the Fourth Miss.
Worrying in her heart, she stood hesitantly in the room, not leaving immediately. Suddenly, Tong Xiyan lifted her head and rebuked, "If Nanny doesn't leave, are you waiting for me to go out and make you?"
Nanny Duan was startled, for the Fourth Miss had never spoken to her like that before. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she walked out with the bowl, but she was still worried about Tong Xiyan, so she sent Xinzhu in to attend to her.
