"No way?"

"Why would I lie to you? I was right there listening when Miss Qiu was talking to the young master!"

"You say Miss Qiu the Second has some grudge against Miss Qiu the First? I remember that the marriage of the eldest young master of the Han family was originally Miss Qiu the First. How come Miss Qiu the Second has already gotten her wish and is still thinking of pushing Miss Qiu the First to our young master? As for our young master, do you know what kind of person he is? Miss Qiu the First will have to deal with him in the future, especially since she lost her virginity before marriage."

"Alright, that's enough. Don't tell anyone about this. Let's hurry over here and keep watch around the yard, just in case something unexpected happens."

"Okay."

After listening to the whole story, the group fell silent. That's good; there's no need to investigate further. The case is solved.

Qiu Wen hadn't expected this outcome. Logically, she should be the one hating Qiu Yun, since it was a life. Instead of letting her fend for herself, Qiu Yun tripped her up and tried to push her into a fire pit.

They then emerged from the artificial hill.

"May I ask how you are addressed, sir?"

Zhang Tingyu thought for a moment and said, "I have some connection with Wu's Department Store. My surname is Zhang, Zhang Tingyu."

Zhang Tingyu didn't think there was anything to hide about his name. He wasn't a woman, so there was no need for him to be forbidden from even revealing his name.

"Although I don't know why you helped me, I still want to thank you. I am indebted to you. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."

Zhang Tingyu said with a smile, "I didn't help you, Miss. Judging from your expression, you must have discovered something. I think you would have been able to get through this smoothly even without my help. Miss Qiu, it seems I'm the one who benefited from your statement."

Qiu Wen said a few words to Zhang Tingyu, then said, "It's not convenient for outsiders to come into this inner courtyard. Please stay, young master. I'll head back now."

Zhang Tingyu then stopped.

Qiu Wen left with Luo Xue.

On the way back, Luo Xue said, "Miss, this young master Zhang is very handsome, and I noticed that he seems to treat you quite well, isn't that right...?"

Qiu Wen understood what Luo Xue meant, but she was only a girl in her early teens, which in modern times would be equivalent to a junior high school student. It was impossible for her to talk about marriage.

"Don't talk about this anymore. Don't mention today's events to outsiders. If anyone asks, just say that your clothes dried on the way and you didn't go back to the courtyard. You just found a place to rest for a while."

"Yes, Miss."
