The Xu family is a renowned family with a history of over a hundred years in the Daxu Dynasty. The head of the Xu family was once a founding hero, and through generations, no one from the Xu family has held an official position in the court. Instead, they have turned to commerce but still maintain the demeanor of a noble family.

By this generation, only Xu Nuandao remained of the Xu family's main line. The family business was all in her hands. The branches were each eyeing her covetously, hating that they couldn't seize the position of the main heir and the power it held, replacing her.

“Miss, the medicine is here,” Xu Nuand handed a steaming bowl of soup to Xu Lan, the maidservant beside her. Half a month ago, the miss had fallen into a coma for an unknown reason. They immediately called a doctor, but even after five days, the miss remained asleep. When she finally woke up, something was strange about her. The doctor mentioned that it was highly likely that she had accidentally injured her brain during the coma, which could explain why she had some memory problems.

Xu Nuann woke up half-sitting, gulping down the black and extremely bitter medicine in mouthfuls. Her body wasn't quite used to it yet, but she had to endure the bitterness for the sake of recovering quickly. "Thank you," she said, handing the bowl back to Xu Lan. "Is there anything going on today?"

Xu Lan took the medicine vial, she had become quite accustomed to the young lady's politeness these past few days. She handed up a sweet fruit, "Miss, have a taste first,"

"No," Xu Nuanniao shook her head, "I'm fine," she said with a grimace. A bit of bitterness would make her clearer headed. Being the eldest daughter of the Xu family, after falling ill, many distant relatives flocked to see her, leaving her no space for peace. In just three days since arriving in this world, she had sensed that this group was taking advantage of the opportunity. They wanted her dead.

I understand Xu Nuanniao's role in the Xu family very well. Because she was too important, and because her past self was too weak, Nuanniao took pride in herself, this ordinary face that was almost ugly, which made Miss Xu feel inferior. The large family business did not give her even a little more confidence.

“Miss, today the three old masters and their wives from the Master Xu family have sent a message over, they will come to see you soon. In the afternoon, several young ladies from the Master Xu family will also come to visit you.” The relatives of the Xu family, both branches of the main and collateral lines, visited every other day in a very orderly manner. They never came to disturb her life or rest time, so even after more than ten days had passed, she was still only able to sit on * .

Xu Lan paused slightly, feeling a twinge of sympathy. "Miss, perhaps we could find an excuse and wait until your mistress is feeling better before visiting them."

Xu Nuann followed up her words with a soft closing of her eyes. “I’d like that, too, but they have to be willing. It’s better to see them sooner rather than later than let them barge in. You arrange it. Keep the time short, and don't make it too formal. Just don't let them stay at the mansion.”Since they lived in the same city, not far apart, once these people moved in, it would be difficult to get them to leave.

"Don't worry, Miss. Xu Hong is already making arrangements. She will definitely be free tomorrow to let you have a good rest and recuperate your bones before we discuss anything else."

"Hmm," Xu Lan and Xu Hong were attendants to Xu Nuanchao, having grown up together with her. They received the same education, but Xu Hong and Xu Lan were more confident than Xu Nuanchao. If they had been born as men, they would surely have excelled in the business world. However, being women, although they managed the affairs of the Xu family business, they also attracted unwanted gossip. "Xu Lan, bring me the Xu family history, I'll take a look again."

Xu Lan nodded and went to the side table, taking out the Xu family's genealogy. These days, the young lady had been reading the genealogy the most, asking some lighthearted questions, she was already accustomed to it.
