"That's right, you have no idea how worried I was while he was up the mountain. Sigh, thankfully he's back safe and sound..."

Tian Haiying didn't stay there for long, after all, there was a whole family waiting for breakfast.

There are many people in her family, and many people to do the work, but most of the time she cooks with her daughters-in-law, so she is really used to rushing back when it's time to cook.

After spending more time with her, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian got to know her habits and didn't try to persuade her to stay.

After she left, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian looked at each other, then sighed in unison, and finally burst into laughter together.

"Sigh, this matter is finally settled, but what's next? Will we ever find out?"

Si Tian can never change her gossipy nature; she even wants to gossip about things like this.

Zhu Qinghao responded with a slow but firm shake of her head.

"This is not something we should inquire about, and we shouldn't try to find out, lest others think you have ulterior motives."

Si Tian pouted, somewhat unconvinced.

"I had no ill intentions; I was just being a little nosy."

"Of course I know you're just gossiping. Uncle Captain and Aunt Haiying probably know too."

But others don't know that. What are your intentions in inquiring about these people? What if someone with ulterior motives tries to frame you for something else? Do you think they'll succeed?

Si Tian knew that what she said made sense, so she was just a little upset, but there was nothing else she could do.

"Alas, is this the limitation of our times?"

Zhu Qinghao knew that she was talking to herself, so she didn't respond. In any case, she would have to figure out the rest on her own.

A short while later, Si Tian ran over excitedly and asked:

"Okay, okay, how about we sneakily ask the captain about it? Or what if the captain sees us and tells us on his own?"

Zhu Qinghao glanced at her helplessly, but did not refute her.

"Hmm, that's possible. You should go and find out when the time comes, and see if the captain is fierce or not."

Si Tian hesitated upon hearing this, and slowly said:

"Huh? It shouldn't be fierce, right...?"

"Well, if you think he won't yell at you, then go ahead and give it a try."

Zhu Qinghao's calm words immediately reminded Si Tian of Wang Fulin's face, which was prone to getting anxious and angry, and she instantly had second thoughts.

"Well, forget it then. I won't ask anymore. If he's willing to tell me, I'll listen; if he's not, then forget it."

That's what she said, but the expression on her face made it clear to anyone with eyes that she really wanted to know.

Zhu Qinghao felt helpless about this, but she had already advised against it and couldn't say anything more, besides, Si Tian herself knew what she was doing.

So she thought for a moment and decided to change the subject.

"Sweetie, shall we have breakfast together? What would you like to eat?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a low sound coming from Si Tian's stomach.

"Gurgle~"

This prompted Si Tian to quickly cover herself, stubbornly retorting:

"If I told you that it was thunder just now, would you believe me?"

Zhu Qinghao smiled and teased:

"Of course! I just didn't expect it to be so strange here. I remember I've never heard thunder in winter before."
