Chapter 197: Chapter 195: A Good Start, People Everywhere, Hearts in the Court and Countryside
“Really? True or false?”
“Of course it’s true! Ruo Ruo, be good and don’t be naughty.”
“I’m not being naughty, Teacher! Recently, someone has really been following Ruo Ruo. Teacher, don’t you believe that I am telling the truth?” Gan Miaoruo pouted in grievance.
Liu Sisi was somewhat surprised. Though Ruo Ruo was mischievous and willful, deep down she had a proud nature and would not stoop to lying!
Could it be that someone really intended to harm Ruo Ruo?
“In that case, let the two of them take turns protecting you! How does that sound?”
Liu Sisi pondered for a moment and proposed.
Though she had never seen Zuo Xingyu’s abilities, she knew about Di Yelei’s hunting skills from the amount of game he brought back.
“Fine! I’ll go tell Uncle Su first.”
Without waiting for Liu Sisi to speak again, Gan Miaoruo bounced over to County Magistrate Su and whispered in his ear, tugging on his sleeve.
County Magistrate Su nodded repeatedly.
“Ahem! Zuo Xingyu, Di Yelei.”
County Magistrate Su gave Gan Miaoruo a reassuring look and coughed lightly, ordering, “From now on, you two will be responsible for ensuring Ruo Ruo’s safety. Understand? As for the specific arrangements, just… just follow Ruo Ruo’s instructions. Understand?”
“Yes, Your Honor.”
Both of them hurriedly acknowledged the order.
Madam Gan Senior, who had remained silent all this time, had a glint in her eyes, and then she laughed!
“My granddaughter and I in Macheng County are completely dependent on County Magistrate Su’s care and protection. When I write to my husband next time, I’ll make sure to give him a good account of everything.”
This statement made County Magistrate Su inexplicably excited, as he had accomplished his goal for today! He immediately knelt down and thanked her with the grand salute of a teacher-student.
“Student thanks Old Madam for the cultivation and support!”
In just a short while, County Magistrate Su had transformed from a junior to a student, changing quite rapidly!
“You need not be so formal, quickly stand up!”
Old Madam Gan’s face was full of kindness as she waved her hand, then turned back to chat with County Magistrate Su for a while. Seeing fatigue on Old Madam Gan’s face, County Magistrate Su took the hint and left tactfully.
As soon as County Magistrate Su left, Liu Sisi hurriedly thanked Old Madam Gan, “Thank you, Old Madam, for helping my husband. Sisi is grateful to you.”
“Teacher, there’s no need for such formalities. Ruo Ruo has always been a headache for me. I’m happy to see you two getting along so well. Consider this a small token of my appreciation.” Old Madam Gan smiled with her eyes half-closed as she waved her hand.
Gan Miaoruo quickly jumped out from the side.
“Grandmother is right! Teacher, you are being unfair! How can you just thank my grandmother without thanking Ruo Ruo? If not for Ruo Ruo being here, that greedy ghost, County Magistrate Su, wouldn’t have agreed!”
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh at this!
“Of course, the one who deserves the most thanks is our good Ruo Ruo. Sisi thanks you.”
Gan Miaoruo smirked and laughed!
Looking at the left-behind and sulking Zuo Xingyu, and then at the obviously still dazed Di Yelei, she couldn’t help but giggle and pout.
“Teacher, I have a reason for doing this. You better not forget what you promised me back then! Teacher…”
“Of course I won’t.”
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh too.
After a brief chat, Old Madam Gan got up and excused herself, “The two of you are deeply in love and today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. You two should enjoy yourselves. We won’t disturb your pleasant mood and will take our leave first!”
As soon as she heard they were leaving, Gan Miaoruo naturally protested!
