Song Ci's open-ended inquiry made Cui Changxiao blush, leading him to ask, "How did Madam know I have a request?"
Did he make it that obvious?
"As the saying goes, 'If there's nothing happening, one doesn't visit the temple.' If you just came by for sightseeing, then sightseeing it should be. But you insisted on having me stay for tea, indicating you have something to ask. If not, then let's just assume I misunderstood, no need to feel embarrassed about it, right?" Song Ci said with a smile.
Cui Changxiao replied, "They all say you are a transparent and broad-minded person, with a heart as clear as water, and indeed, nothing escapes your notice."
"Is there truly something going on then?"
Cui Changxiao took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "Actually, it's not anything particular, just wondering if Madam has found someone to manage your Charitable School? Oh, I mean someone like a Mountain Master."
