Stupid!

Liu Shiqian rolled his eyes at his son in disgust, didn't he understand his intentions? If this girl had a clean background, with her ability, it would be better for her to get into the Liu Family as soon as possible.

Su Zhi left the Warm Pavilion and was brought to the Fragrant Orchid House by a servant.

She saw someone waiting outside the courtyard from a distance, and when she got closer, she knew it was Auntie Liu.

”Good New Year, Auntie.”

Auntie Liu smiled as she welcomed him, ”Happy New Year.” ”In the past, I always spent time in Spring Leaf Alley. This year, when I checked into the Liu Estate, I didn't find it too lively.”

”Everyone is thinking highly of you. If you are free, you can go back and stay for a few days.”

Su Zhi was helped into the room by Madam Liu. She said with some grievances, ”As an old man with a dead husband and no children, it's not good for me to go to someone else's home. My nephew is kind to me, and fears that I will be lonely, and comes to see me now and then. ”

Old Madam Liu was the only one who was slightly unhappy with her sister-in-law; everything else was fine as well.

Su Zhi soothed Auntie Liu by talking about Liu Yuan being filial and kind. She could relax and live a good life.

”Seeing that the year is almost up, I recall how kind you were when I came to Xuancheng to live without a place to stay. Today, I have brought enough money to pay you back with the interest. ” She gave the banknotes to Aunty Liu, but did not forget to thank her for her help.

”Xiaosu is indeed capable. How long has it been since we last met? Many men can't even catch up to you.”

Auntie Liu also took out the housing deed that she had taken care of and handed it to Su Zhi, ”Although that courtyard isn't the best, auntie has spent a lot of effort on every single blade of grass and tree in there. In the future, if you find anything you dislike and want to fix it, pay attention.”

”I understand. Aunt Liu, don't think too much. That courtyard is still good. There is no need to fix it.”

The two of them were holding hands and talking when the surprised cry of a maid came from outside.

”Yo, what happened here?”

The maidservant went to take a look outside, her expression flustered as she ran in, ”Aunt Liu, it seems to be eldest brother and second brother.”

Mentioning her two grandnieces, Auntie Liu let go of Su's hands and ran out of the room in a hurry.

Su Zhi followed him out the door.

It turned out to be two playful little babies taking advantage of the wet nurse's inattention to get into the fence and go to the pond.

Ever since the two young masters had run away from the mansion, the servants had spontaneously surrounded the dangerous areas with fences, afraid that one of them would accidentally bump into two children.

The worry that the servants were worried about still happened. Today, the two children brought out a small bundle of burning branches from who knows where. They held it in their hands and lit up many flowers and plants in the garden.

Now the two miscreants were crawling on the loquat tree by the pond, lighting the sparrows' nests on the top of the tree with their beams of fire.

There were two white bunches hanging from a small tree that was not thick enough to begin with, and the branches were almost bent.

Below him was a pond. If he were to fall into it in winter, even adults wouldn't be able to withstand it, much less a child as large as him.

”Aiyo, my two ancestors, quickly come down.” The nurse cried and ordered a few servants to go and fetch the child.

Outsiders watched with trepidation, but the two small ones found it extremely interesting. The higher they climbed, the lower the branches dropped.

The servant stood not far from the shore and reached out to grab the child on the tree.

Su Zhi was also worried. A child who had never suffered a loss would not know how dangerous the situation was, but would not know the consequences of falling down while laughing happily.

Auntie Liu was so anxious that she began to cry. She scolded, ”How do you all treat children? If something happens to them, will you be able to compensate them?”

”Aunty Liu, don't worry. Is there a boat at home?”

With a point from the girl, Auntie Liu immediately reacted, ”Hurry, hurry. Go and row a few boats over there and catch them.”

The servant moved quickly and brought over a small boat to row towards the pond. The two children in the tree lost interest and fell down.
