Mu Yan saw Xiao Yun who was full of fighting spirit and silently swallowed her saliva. For a moment, she felt that they were all concubines who were trying to fight for favor.
While it was true that they were somewhat fighting for Nan Hua’s favor, it was mostly for their position as Nan Hua’s maidservants.
"Ok." Mu Yan waved her hand and Xiao Yun headed straight to the kitchen.
If Mu Yan had to say, she didn’t have that exquisite skills in cooking like Xiao Yun or Long Ai Ning. It would be better for her to leave this kind of competition to the two of them and didn’t meddle in this matter.
She stayed sitting and looked at the plants in front of her, silently tending to it carefully.
In the past year, Mu Yan was the one tasked by Nan Hua to help taking care of the medicinal garden. For this reason, Mu Yan also started learning a bit about how to take care of these plants.
After all, some medicinal plants required specific environment and treatment to grow.
If she was not careful enough, these plants would die.
"Do you need help?" Ran asked when she saw Mu Yan started to work again. They had already tended the plants this morning and now Mu Yan continued to work again, making Ran wonder if there was any need.
"No." Mu Yan glanced at Ran and said, "There are some medicinal plants that are being dried. Have you checked on them?"
She had to take care of these plants while Ran was the one who helped Nan Hua to check when these plants were dried. After all, some plants could only be used after they were dried and not when they had only been freshly picked.
"I have finished my work." Ran nodded.
"Good."
"Do you not train like Chu Yue or help in the kitchen like Xiao Yun?" Ran suddenly asked. She thought that Mu Yan had some kind of special skills when she was serving Nan Hua, but at this moment, she didn’t see any of them.
"No." Mu Yan shook her head.
"Why?"
Mu Yan looked at Ran strangely. "What do you mean why?"
"I mean… I thought all of you have special skills," Ran replied, a bit embarrassed. When she first met with them and then finally reunited, she felt that these people were all very specials.
But for some reasons, she couldn’t see Mu Yan practicing something like the other two.
Xiao Yun has been quite active in the kitchen because of Long Ai Ning’s appearance and her skills had gotten better and better. Moreover, Xiao Yun also enjoyed this kind of work, so Nan Hua said nothing about their little competition.
Of course, Long Ai Ning was still the one who took the job of cooking most of the time. This was mainly because Long Ai Ning herself likes cooking and had gotten used to cook for Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua.
"Special skills…." Mu Yan looked at Ran helplessly. "We’re all maidservants and not some kind of performer."
She shook her head and continued to tend the plants in front of her. "The most important thing for us to do is to serve Miss well and not let her be inconvenienced in any way."
