”Stop talking, Third Young Miss, I'm really scared to death.” Ru Chun continued, ”If Madam asks, what should I say? Besides, Master is on leave at home today.”
Ru Chun's tears fell like rain once again. Qi Zhen felt as if he had been struck by lightning on a sunny day. If they were to be discovered by the Governor Qi, the consequences would be unimaginable.
”Father... How did he get home today? ” Qi Zhen frowned.
Logically speaking, Governor Qi should be the busiest these few days, to actually have time to rest at home.
”Yeah, I just ran into her when I went out.” Ru Chun continued, ”Where did Adjutant Xiao and the others talk about this. Governor Qi really won't go out today.”
Qi Zhen immediately sat in front of the dressing table and said, ”Hey, Ru Chun, quickly come over and help me comb my makeup.”
Qi Zhen was in a hurry to leave in the morning. She didn't need to be blown by the wind because she only had a little bit of snowflake paste on her face, so she had to hurry and dress up, then go to the Landscape Pavilion to pay her respects.
”Third Young Miss is crying again.” Ru Chun lowered his head and saw another tear trail that was very eye-catching.
”Why don't you sleep for a while longer, Third Young Miss? I brought breakfast over, continue sleeping after you've eaten.” Ru Chun thought, it was rare for Qi Zhen to wake up this early, and he should be trapped right now.
”No, I have to go to the Mountain River Pavilion and pay my respects.” Qi Zhen said in all seriousness.
”Ah?” What did the Third Young Miss say … I didn't hear wrong, right? ” Ru Chun saw that Qi Zhen did not seem to be joking, and continued, ”Didn't Third Young Miss fear old master the most? Why would she want to go greet him?”
Qi Zhen thought for a while, ”If mother tells father about this, then I won't be able to hide from her. I will deliver myself to him, or his father will think that I am very good at admitting my wrongs, so don't blame me if father doesn't say anything … ”That's even better.”
”Alright.” After Ru Chun finished listening to him, she became even happier as she thought to herself, ”Third Young Miss has really become smarter.”
At the Great Hall of Mountains and Rivers, Governor Qi was leisurely drinking tea. Beside him was a warm pastry, and Mrs. Xue was muttering, ”Master, it's best if you don't eat too much. breakfast is about to start soon.”
”Yes.” Governor Qi obediently agreed. After he finished eating the last piece of food in his hand, he didn't touch the plate again.
Auntie Flower also felt happy when she saw the things that the Old Master liked to eat, ”Today, I heard that Green Willow's green bean cake is very good, so I specially bought some to try. Recently, Madam said that she wanted to eat something sweet, but she didn't expect Master to also like it.”
The Governor Qi laughed, ”Green Willow Mansion's pastries are really good, no wonder that brat Qi Yue always likes to run over there.”
When he mentioned Qi Yue, Mrs. Xue suddenly remembered to ask, ”That's right, Master, is there any news that says Yue'er will be back soon? I've missed him.”
The Governor Qi stretched his back and said slowly, ”How late can it be? It should only be a few days.
”Oh, the Third Young Miss is here.”
When Auntie Flower looked over and saw Qi Zhen, she had two well-behaved braids on her face, and was also wearing a pink half-body dress. Her face was full of smiles, and even Mrs. Xue felt that she didn't seem like her own daughter at all.
”Zel?” Seeing that Qi Zhen had become more like a lady, the Governor Qi was happy in her heart. She then sat down smiling, and when Qi Zhen saw that her father was actually smiling, she could not help but be happy.
”My daughter pays her respects to father and mother.” Qi Zhen obediently gave the Governor Qi a cup of tea.
”It's rare to see you up so early. You did well today.” Mrs. Xue looked at Qi Zhen and thought, ”Perhaps the previous time's teachings worked, or else Qi Zhen wouldn't have become so obedient.” He also secretly felt that Miss Xue's scolding hadn't been in vain.
”Get up.” Governor Qi let Qi Zhen get up from the ground, then he looked at Qi Zhen with great satisfaction. Although he had become a little fat, to him, it was simply filled with good fortune.
”I heard that father didn't have anything important to take care of today, so he was able to rest at home. That's why he came early.” Qi Zhen was very obedient.
”Yeah, your ears are quite sharp.” Governor Qi laughed and asked, ”Have you been bored to death recently? After all, it's been a lot of trouble lately. ”
”Sometimes, playing together with the Big Sister and Sister Jin Se is still okay, I don't feel bored at all.”
