Chapter 1464 Meng Han has seen him
Seeing that she was about to reach the study, A-Ning quickened her pace.
Who knew that as she staggered and ran up the corridor steps, she fell to the ground with a 'plop'.
Upon seeing this, Ying Xi, who was guarding the study door, rushed over, squatted down in front of her, and asked anxiously, "Miss Aning, are you alright?"
Ah Ning lowered her head, rubbed her knee, and looked up at Ying Xi with a smile, "It's nothing, just an old ailment."
Ah Ning used to trip and fall for no reason while walking because of malnutrition. Later, when she ate and lived in better conditions, that stopped happening. But children inevitably bump and bruise, and sometimes she would fall down if she ran too fast and wasn't paying attention.
Especially when Ah Ning went to the mountain to collect herbs with Doctor Zhao, it was normal for her to fall down when the road was too difficult to walk.
At times like this, A Ning would jokingly say that it was an old problem of hers.
Having probably learned from her previous falls, Ah Ning reflexively adjusted her posture slightly when she fell to the ground, so she was not seriously injured.
Her clothes were a little dirty, so she patted them off and stood up.
Seeing that she was alright, Ying Xi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but still said, "Let me carry you. Did you come to see Miss?"
"Oh, I forgot to take my bag."
As the two were talking, Yingxi squatted down to pick up A Ning, his back to the courtyard gate, so he didn't see a figure running quickly towards the study.
As the voice cried out, "Ah Ning—I heard you're back—", the figure had already run into the study.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu were both stunned, looking at the newcomer in astonishment.
This study is Shu Yu's private territory. Her family members usually know that she won't easily come to disturb her if she has something to do, and the servants will be even less likely to approach.
Even young children like A Ning or the more rebellious Da Bao were repeatedly told not to disturb Shu Yu when she was doing important business, unless it was something very important.
Just like today, when A Ning ran over, she only went in because she saw Ying Xi standing at the door and didn't stop her.
But no one expected there would be an exception named Meng Han.
Seeing that the study door was open and that no one was guarding it, Meng Han rushed in.
Meng Yunzheng's face immediately darkened, not only because of Meng Han's disturbance, but also because she was a member of the Meng family, and such behavior was really too inappropriate.
Even Shu Yu's smile vanished, replaced by a tense expression.
However, Meng Han didn't see the two of them at all. Instead, her gaze fell on the desk, and she asked in surprise, "Isn't this Young Master Jiang?"
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng were both stunned and looked at each other.
He then asked, "Ah Han, do you know him?"
While asking the questions, Shu Yu discreetly put away the other two scrolls.
When Meng Han looked up, both Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had returned to normal expressions.
She assumed that the momentary chill emanating from the study was just her imagination.
Meng Han stepped forward and carefully examined the portrait on the table again, nodding affirmatively. "It is indeed Young Master Jiang. Cousin, Sister Shuyu, do you know him? How come you have his portrait?"
Meng Yunzheng put the half-finished brush back on the brush rest, looked up at her and asked, "Where did you meet Young Master Jiang, and where did you meet him?"
His expression turned slightly serious, and Meng Han immediately tensed up, feeling inexplicably that her answer was very important.
"I saw it at home."
