Meanwhile, Dong Xue had been assigned to run errands, traveling back and forth between the Bureau of Palace Attendants and the Weaving Bureau among other places, carrying different items each time, just like this occasion.
She was walking towards Canglan Court with a eunuch, holding a set of exquisite porcelain in her hands—a complete new set of matching cups, bowls, and tea dishes, specifically requested by Nanny Qi for Master Lian's use.
"Thank you, Brother Xia Lei, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known how to bring these back," Dong Xue gratefully said to the eunuch beside her.
The eunuch named Xia Lei gave a simple smile, "Why be so formal with thanks? You are called Dong Xue, and I am Xia Lei. Dong Xue and Xia Lei—we are like family and should help each other as such."
His appearance was honest, which involuntarily added a layer of trustworthiness to him.
Dong Xue felt even more grateful, "Brother Xia Lei, you are truly kind."
