Zhulan started to walk away in a hurry. Xuehan walked out with the two girls and asked, "Did you see anything?"
Liu Jin and Liu Li lowered their heads. They understood and said they didn’t see anything even if they saw it: “I didn’t see anything.”
Xue Han said faintly: "So I still saw it."
Liu Jin and Liu Li lowered their heads even more. The young lady looked more and more like the mistress. "Yes."
Xue Han's eyes were sharp, "Even if you saw it, just pretend you didn't see it."
Liu Jin Liu Li, "Yes."
Xue Han returned to the yard quickly with a worried look on her face. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Sister Wu Ning sitting on a chair staring at her purse. Xue Han sat there with a frown on her face, and signaled the maids to leave, even Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Shui were not left behind.
Wu Ning then noticed Xue Han coming back and asked, "Did the guest leave?"
Xue Han supported her forehead with one hand, "Sister, are you interested in Master Shi?"
She and her mother were worried, but after observing for a long time and finding nothing wrong, she didn't think much about it. But from what she saw in the yard just now, she was an experienced person and knew that Sister Wu Ning's eyes would definitely not be wrong.
Wu Ning froze, "I don't understand what my sister is talking about."
Xue Han, "There's no one in the yard. I saw it all in the garden just now. Are you going to give Master Shi a purse?"
Wu Ning's heart tightened and she shook her head in panic, "No, this is my purse. Mingrui took my purse and he lost it. I didn't expect Master Shi to pick it up and give it to me by chance."
Xue Han narrowed her eyes, "Sister."
Xue Han shut her mouth again. Sister Wu Ning liked plum blossoms, but she only embroidered them on her purses, rarely on clothes. The embroidery on the purse was also hidden, for fear that others would pick it up and make a fuss about it. Wu Ning was extremely careful and cautious. People who didn't know her well wouldn't guess that it belonged to her sister, but Master Shi knew it was her sister's when he picked it up. Ha, he really paid a lot of attention to it!
Wu Ning was very nervous. She was really afraid of Sister Xue Han. Sister Xue Han was like an aunt to her. She also had Shui Pozi by her side to give her advice all the time. It was not easy to coax a sister, so she might as well be honest. She said anxiously, "I rarely see Master Shi. There is really nothing wrong between us. Don't think too much."
Xue Han stared at Sister Wu Ning carefully. This sister made people want to cherish her, especially when she heard Sister Wu muttering that it was impossible. Xue Han sighed and said, "I won't tell Mom."
Wu Ning's heart dropped to the ground, "Thank you."
Xue Han felt distressed, and her sister knew it clearly, which made her feel distressed.
Xue Han thought that no one knew about it, but in fact, Zhulan got the news immediately. The servants managed by Mrs. Song could not hide anything from Zhulan.
Zhulan waited for a while but Xuehan didn't come. She smiled and said to Mrs. Song, "Go and tell the servants to keep their mouths shut."
Mrs. Song lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Zhu Lan hugged her son and said, "Your sister has grown up and has her own ideas. Wu Ning is obviously older than her, but she plays the role of the older sister."
The little guy didn't understand and made "ah oh ah oh" sounds as if he was talking.
Zhulan kissed her son's little hand and thought to herself, the teacher should find a few more students since her classes are already fully booked, so she didn't have time to think about anything else.
The next morning, Zhulan first saw Xuemei's family off, and this time Zhou Laoer went back to her hometown with her. Zhou Laoer was not going to buy a house in the capital this time, but planned to buy one in his hometown, and by the way, go back to see the Zhou family's farm.
The things Zhulan gave to Xuemei, not counting the gifts she brought, just the clothes and food filled a whole car.
The children were really reluctant to leave. Zhulan also thought about whether to keep Jiang Miao, but she gave up the idea as soon as it came to her mind. Jiang Sheng wanted stability, and Jiang Miao could not escape from the Jiang family no matter how hard he tried. It would be better for Jiang Miao to grow up safely in the Jiang family, rather than being raised by her and becoming too ambitious to ask for some extravagant things, which would end up hurting himself.
After seeing off Xuemei and her family, Zhulan met the teachers she had found. Both teachers were introduced by the wife of the Tongzhi, Mrs. Tao, and had taught Tao's daughter.
The two gentlemen, one is named Zhao, who is good at calligraphy and painting, and the other is named Liu, who is good at playing the piano and chess. He is good at all the arts. Tao is a girl from aristocratic family and has high standards, so Zhulan is quite relieved.
Speaking of Mrs. Tao, Zhulan really didn't expect that she could get along well with Mrs. Tao. She was arrogant, but also easy to get along with. Her attitude changed a lot before and after. Such a person is arrogant, but when she agrees with you, she will never be ambiguous, just like Zhou Shuren often mentions Lord Wang. Zhou Shuren quite likes Lord Wang.
After meeting the teacher today and arranging the courses, the girls from the Zhou family will go to class tomorrow.
Zhulan's family didn't have a zither, so she signaled housekeeper Ding to go buy one, and then called Yushuang and Yulu. Zhulan looked at Yushuang's appearance and thought that fortunately Zhou Shuren was promoted quickly and was the emperor's confidant, otherwise Yushuang's appearance would become a problem in two years.
