When the lady saw the children looking at her, she walked over slowly.
It was not until she came closer that everyone saw that Xiao Huang and Lu, who looked ashamed, were following her.
"Mom, aunt..." Lu Hui didn't expect that her family would see such a scene. She felt ashamed and wronged. The tears that she had been holding back for a long time finally rolled down her cheeks.
The noble lady walked straight up to Qingtian, squatted down, looked at her with a smile and asked, "Little girl, what's your name? How old are you?"
Mrs. Ye always reminded her not to talk to strangers, or she might be kidnapped.
In addition to the previous incident of Ye Changnian being abducted by human traffickers, the children of the Ye family are very wary of strangers.
Qingtian immediately shrank behind his brothers.
Several children also rushed towards her like hedgehogs with their defenses fully opened.
"Who are you? We don't know you!"
"Why are you asking these questions? Are you a human trafficker?"
"Let's go home quickly."
The lady didn't expect to be treated like this. She was stunned at first, then she couldn't help laughing.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person." The lady introduced herself, "My last name is Lu, and I'm from Lujia Village. If you don't believe me, just ask her."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at Lu behind her.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly introduced, "Yes, this is Madam Lu. I have been working at her house recently."
"Yes, she said something happened at home and asked for a few days off to come back and deal with it.
"As it turned out, there was no news for many days, and I was a little worried.
"I happened to be out on business today, so I decided to come over on my way back to see what was going on."
The reason why Mrs. Lu couldn't get away to go back was naturally because Xiao Huang and her two daughters were in very bad condition recently. She was really worried about them and never expected that Mrs. Lu would come to see her.
However, Madam Lu's attention was all on Qingtian at this time. After revealing her identity and proving that she was not a bad person, she went to talk to Qingtian again.
This time, Qingtian finally answered her: "My name is Qingtian, and I am five years old."
When Madam Lu heard this, the admiration on her face became even stronger.
"I heard everything you said just now, it was very well said!
"Especially since you're only five years old, it's quite surprising that you could say something like that."
When Madam Lu saw Qingtian dressed elegantly and didn't look like an ordinary farm girl, she thought she was visiting relatives.
"Do you live in Rongxi Village? What does your father do? They taught you so well!"
"My father is a hunter, and my mother runs a dumpling restaurant." Qingtian said honestly, "My family is in Rongxi Village, but recently I followed my mother to Beijing to open a dumpling restaurant, so I don't come back often."
Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She thought that parents who could raise their children so well must be very educated people.
But neither of the two professions that Qingtian mentioned was within her expectations.
Madam Lu looked at Qingtian and couldn't help but admire his talent. She said, "Qingtian, do you want to learn to read and write? Why don't you take me as your teacher and I will teach you from now on?"
When Qingtian heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Lu, but I have already accepted Mr. Wei as my disciple.
"As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. There is no way I will switch to someone else's school."
Qingtian said this very fluently because Mr. Wei had previously taken her and Qin Hexuan to meet several old friends in Beijing.
Those old gentlemen didn't want to make fun of the young master of the Qin family, so they surrounded her and asked her endless questions, as if they wanted to poach a good talent from Wei Yan.
So Qingtian didn't know how many times he had said these words of rejection before. He had become very skilled at it and could say them without even thinking.
"Have you already become his disciple?" Madam Lu did not react much to Mr. Wei. Instead, she was very surprised that Qingtian had become his disciple.
Most private schools do not accept female students.
Only in the capital were there girls' schools.
But to be honest, based on her understanding of girls' education, it is more about teaching girls how to be a good wife and mother rather than teaching them to read and write. It is impossible to raise a child like Qingtian who is thoughtful and expressive.
"Did your parents hire a teacher in the capital to teach you?"
Apart from this situation, Madam Lu couldn't think of any other possibilities.
However, she knew almost all the capable female teachers in the capital, but she had never heard of anyone with the surname Wei.
"No, I go to Mr. Wei's place to study every morning." Qingtian didn't understand why this Madam Lu kept asking this question. After replying politely, he quickly took out his pocket watch and took a look. Then he looked up at Ye Changrui and said, "Brother, it's getting late. We should go home."
"Yes, yes, let's go home." Ye Changrui received his sister's pleading look and immediately bent down to pick her up. He said to Madam Lu, Xiao Huang, and Madam Lu, "We are going home. If you have any questions, please go back home and ask our master!"
Little did they know that Madam Lu had discovered something new.
"On a sunny day, can you read your pocket watch?"
"Ah..." Qingtian immediately regretted his previous action, and was caught by the other party in the conversation again.
She placed her hands on her chest where her pocket watch was, but didn't want to lie, so she reluctantly nodded and said, "I, I will look at it a little bit..."
However, Madam Lu re-evaluated Qingtian's family background in her mind, and from this she saw Qingtian's love and curiosity for new things.
