Nan Shiqi came to the Capital City under the guise of a member of the Zhou Family, leading the Zhou Family caravan, to celebrate Old Madam Gu's birthday.
Here, she was not Nan Shiqi, the spy of the Dark Hall at the Southern Border, but rather Young Master Gu's little cousin—Zhou Mianmian.
The Zhou Family arrived a few days early, and since they were family, Shiqi, under Madam Zhou's arrangement, stayed in the courtyard next to Step Lotus Hall in the Marquis Mansion.
Inside the study, Gu Lan was finalizing the guest list for the birthday banquet, with Shiqi and Zijin accompanying her on either side.
These two, one was the Zhou Family cousin who hardly ever got to visit the Capital City, and the other, the big maid who had served Young Master Gu since childhood in the Marquis Mansion—rumored to be a bed servant type.
Gu Lan extended her hand and murmured, "Thirsty."
