Steward Ding didn't want to make the mistress anxious, but it was hard to say this because it concerned Miss Wu's reputation. "Madam, you should go and take a look!"
Zhu Lan became even more anxious when she heard this, and pulled Zhou Shuren, "Let's go take a look."
The two of them quickly went through the garden door to the front yard. Zhulan really wanted to know why Wu Ning was climbing a tree, and why he was climbing a tree in the front yard.
When Zhulan arrived, Xuehan and Wuning were stunned. Zhulan also saw the tree. It was quite tall and easy to climb. Zhulan pursed her lips. Xuehan and Wuning would never play in the front yard. The front yard was where Zhou Shuren entertained guests, and these two girls had their own rules.
Zhulan first shifted her gaze and looked at Shi Qing who was standing beside her. Shi Qing's clothes were a little messy. It had just rained yesterday and the front yard was not paved with stone bricks, so the light-colored clothes Shi Qing was wearing were dirty.
Zhulan frowned and said to Steward Ding, "I remember the sewing room just made some new clothes but didn't distribute them to the rooms. Go and take Master Shi to change into Third Master's clothes."
There was no extra expression on Shi Qing's face, but he was very depressed in his heart. He really wasn't the type to save people. However, he was in Zhou Mansion and had no servants around him. He couldn't just watch a guest of Zhou Mansion fall down, and he hadn't even become his apprentice yet.
He really didn't have any dirty intentions. He was not married and no one was willing to marry their daughter to him, but he would not plot against the guests of Zhou Mansion before he became his apprentice.
That’s right, it was the guest. He had a very good memory and even though he hadn’t seen Miss Zhou for several years, he still recognized her.
Shi Qing adjusted his attitude and said, "The students have gone down."
Zhou Shuren looked at Shi Qing, "After changing clothes, Steward Ding brought Master Shi to the study."
Steward Ding glanced at Master Shi from the corner of his eye. He was turned away at the door on the first day, but he was able to come in smoothly this time. It was because the master had already told him to do so. "Yes."
Shi Qing was worried that it might affect his becoming a disciple, but he had been wandering for seven days and didn't know what Master Zhou would test him on. He suddenly felt unsure.
Zhulan waited for Zhou Shuren to go to the study, pressed her eyebrows, and said, "You two come back with me."
Xue Han lowered her head. She was to blame for everything that happened today, and her eyes turned red.
Wu Ning had recovered from the shock. She held Xue Han's hand with the handkerchief in her hand and whispered, "It has nothing to do with you. I'm fine."
Xue Han shook her head. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so tactless as to take you to the front yard."
Wu Ning lowered her voice, "You also want to help me."
She lived and ate with Xue Han. Xue Han just wanted her to break free from the constraints in her heart, so she ordered the servants to take her to climb trees. Xue Han wanted her to overcome the fear in her heart, but she didn't expect that someone would come today.
Xue Han lowered her head, cursing Master Shi in her heart. Today is Dad's day off, and no one will come to the house. Ahem, there were some visitors in the past, but whenever it was a day off, Dad never saw anyone. Gradually, everyone knew that they could not expect to see Lord Zhou during their day off.
It was because she knew no one would come that she dared to do it. Who would have thought that there would be such a small guest, and there was no need to inform them. It was really depressing. Xue Han secretly looked at her mother walking in front of her, her face flushed. She had behaved very well in the past few years. In the circle of young ladies in Lizhou City, she had never made any mistakes. Today she really lost face, and in the front yard.
Back at the main courtyard, Xue Han was anxious, "Mom, you can punish me however you want, but please talk to Dad and make sure that Master Shi can't say anything."
Sister Wu Ning’s reputation was very bad. When the news came out that she was rescued by a man, what would Sister Wu Ning do? Xue Han was so anxious that she cried.
Wu Ning pursed her lips, secretly feeling lucky that this was Lizhou City, not her home, and that she had not caused any trouble for her brothers. Wu Ning wiped Xue Han's tears, "Aunt, it's all my fault today. It has nothing to do with Xue Han. I shouldn't have encouraged my sister to go to the front yard. It was me who wanted to climb the tree."
Xue Han was stunned for a moment, but she was not stupid. "Mom, it's all my fault. Sister Wu Ning was a guest. I ordered the servants to leave. It was all my fault. I encouraged my sister to climb the tree."
Wu Ning wanted to cover Xue Han's mouth. It would be better if she was the only one responsible for this matter. At least it would not affect Xue Han. Why was this girl so stubborn? She was not from Lizhou City, and the young man just now didn't know who she was. She was also afraid that the young man just now was plotting against Xue Han. If he said that he saved Xue Han, then she would be in trouble. Ever since she saw the wickedness of human nature, she was really afraid of men.
Even though the young man just saved her, she still didn't trust him.
Zhulan listened to the two sisters taking the blame on each other, and a smile appeared on her serious face. She was not afraid that Shi Qing would say nonsense, because Shi Qing didn't dare and wouldn't. On the contrary, Shi Qing would just keep his mouth shut. He was even more afraid that the news would get out and the Zhou family would misunderstand that he was the one who said it.
Now Xue Han and Wu Ning are both thinking about each other, Zhu Lan is relieved, "Okay, stop taking responsibility, tell me, I want to go climb a tree."
There are trees in the garden, so why go to the front yard? Yes, the trees in the garden are too short and there is no point in climbing them.
Wu Ning was the first to tell what had happened. This time Wu Ning did not hide anything. Although he came at a late hour, Wu Ning knew that he could not hide anything from his aunt, and today's matter had to be resolved by his aunt.
Zhulan heard what happened. She thought Xuehan meant well and Wu Ning climbed up because he wanted to break free from the shackles in his heart. Zhulan looked at Wu Ning. Although Wu Ning had gained weight in recent days, he was still very thin. It was just that he didn't look thin anymore because of the thicker clothes he wore in autumn. In fact, Wu Ning still didn't have much flesh on him. Zhulan didn't think Wu Ning's health would be good because of the depression in his heart.
