Song Tingfan was silent for a good while, "Alright."
Lin Han awkwardly "coughed" and changed the subject, "Teach the children well, don't hit them. If you hit them too much, they won't be smart."
"Hmm." Song Tingfan nodded.
Li Guifen and her husband proposed to leave right after lunch. Lin Qiao was planning to buy some things, but the two were insistent on leaving, not even willing to stay for an extra day.
In the end, Lin Qiao tucked fifty taels of silver into their baggage.
Once they left, the residence became much quieter. Song Tingfan likely had matters at court, as he hadn't returned for several days.
On this day, the accountant from the shop came, and Lin Qiao, hearing about this in her room, felt slightly surprised. She put down her needlework and went out.
The accountant looked panicked and, upon seeing her, tremblingly said, "Boss, it's not good, Manager Xu has been detained."
"What's going on?" Lin Qiao's expression turned serious.
