Chapter 475: Chapter 462: Too Bullied

Zhuang Qingsui was somewhat uneasy, following behind Zhuang Qingning.

“Who is it?” Zhuang Qingning asked.

“Miss Zhuang, it’s Banqing.” A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Zhuang Qingning opened the door, and indeed, Banqing was standing outside.

“Why are you here so late? Is there a matter?”

“Mr. Fan and the Third Young Master sent me to inform Miss Zhuang that Mr. Fan will not be able to come and teach for the next two days. At the earliest, he’ll only be able to return after three or four days.” Banqing answered.

“Oh?” Zhuang Qingning raised an eyebrow.

Fan Wenxuan has always been very punctual in coming to teach, even in windy and rainy weather, he never missed a session. But this time he suddenly couldn’t come, and for three or four days at that.

“Mr. Fan is fine, right? He’s not unwell?” A worried look spread across Zhuang Qingsui’s face.

“Mr. Fan… his health is fine.” Banqing helplessly lowered his eye-lids.

It’s just that he was a bit mentally distressed.

After all, any man would find such a matter somewhat hard to accept.

“Miss Zhuang and Miss Sui need not worry.”

“That’s good.” Zhuang Qingning saw how Banqing seemed to be at a loss for words. She said, “If Mr. Fan is preoccupied, let him handle his own matters first. I’ll make sure Qingsui and Mingli study diligently here. Please relay this to Mr. Fan and reassure him.”

“Yes.” Banqing responded, bringing out a neat stack of book scrolls, “Mr. Fan said these are the texts that need to be studied these days. Please ask Miss Sui and young master Mingli to read and learn them first. If they have any confusion, they should mark it and wait to ask Mr. Fan when he comes.”

“We appreciate Mr. Fan’s concern.” Zhuang Qingning received the scrolls, “Thank you.”

“Miss Zhuang, you’re too kind. I won’t disturb you any further. I shall take my leave.” After saying this, Banqing mounted his horse and headed back.

Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui secured the door and proceeded back with the stack of papers.

“I wonder what has happened to the teacher…” Zhuang Qingsui was still somewhat worried, “He didn’t explain clearly, which makes us speculate and fear what could have happened.”

“If Banqing said it will only take three or four days, then it shouldn’t be a major issue. However, given that Mr. Fan isn’t coming to teach in the coming days, it can’t be a trivial matter either.” Zhuang Qingning responded.

“Hearing sister say it like this, now I am even more confused…”

If it’s not a big issue, and it’s not a small issue, then is it a serious matter or not?

A puzzled Zhuang Qingsui looked at Zhuang Qingning.

“Whether it’s a serious or minor issue isn’t important. What’s important is that, since Banqing didn’t say and also said not to worry, then it’s likely something inconvenient to be spoken of. We should avoid prying too much. If it’s comfortable to talk about and can be said, Mr. Fan would tell us without us needing to pry.”

Zhuang Qingning said, “Sometimes, it’s better to be a bit confused.”

“Now that you say it like that, sister, I understand.” Zhuang Qingsui nodded, revealing a bright smile, “Then sister, let’s hurry to bed so we can get up earlier tomorrow.”
