The guard spoke, his tone apologetic.
"So, the situation is delicate. I must remain by the Lord County Magistrate's side, so I won't be able to come and pick Miss Shen up in a couple of days."
But Shen Ningning was very worried. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
The guard gave a resigned smile. "Lord County Magistrate doesn't want Miss Shen to get involved. He said that if you were to ask, I should just tell you he's gone to an outer county for an inspection and won't be back for a while."
Unfortunately, the little one was too smart and immediately noticed the change in the guard's expression.
Looking at her big, clear eyes, the guard naturally didn't want to lie to her.
Shen Ningning lowered her long lashes, her expression dimming on her small, fair, round face.
'Grandpa County Magistrate must not want her to worry.'
The little one raised her glistening eyes. "I understand, Brother Guard. I won't cause any trouble for Grandpa Fu."
