Tingzheng looked at Ah Si and asked: "What's going on?"
Ah Si felt that Lin Qinghan was out of her mind when she stopped him from delivering the news to Tingzheng. The Great Aunt had nurtured their family's Old Master, and now that trouble had befallen the An Family, she wanted to stand aside. If outsiders found out, wouldn't they say their Old Master was ungrateful? "Madam said the An Family is accused of treason. If Old Master finds out, he definitely won't stand aside, and that will implicate our mansion as well. Madam recalled the people I sent out and even took over my duties." Moreover, Lin Qinghan had kept the doors tightly shut these past days; only those from the procurement department were allowed out.
Tingzheng took large strides toward the Inner Courtyard.
Lin Qinghan was teaching Wanting how to recognize characters. Upon hearing the footsteps, she smiled and said to Wanting: "Your father is back."
